Small Country Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Reservations are available and recommended on summer weekends at Small Country Campground, a privately run facility in Louisa, Virginia, where nightly rates run $31 to $109 depending on site type. Full hookups include electric, water, and sewer, and the campground accommodates RVs up to 60 feet. A dump station, WiFi, showers, and a small on-site store round out the infrastructure. A Dollar General sits about five miles away for additional supplies.

The campground centers on a man-made pond with two sandy beach areas. Water shoes are worth packing. The lake bottom gets soft and silmy past about 20 feet from shore, so as Rachel S. notes, it's "perfect for floating or staying closer to shore." Kayak rentals are available, and in summer the lake adds inflatable water obstacles and a bouncing blob. A swimming pool, mini golf ($3), a playground, and an oversized chess set fill out the activity roster. Firewood sells for $5 a bundle at the store.

Site quality varies by section. Spots in the "orange" area tend to run large, while "black" sites are closer together but back up to woods. Tent sites are grouped separately, well-shaded, and reasonably level. Several reviewers consistently mention clean bathrooms and well-stocked facilities, and the campground has been gradually updating infrastructure over recent years. One reviewer noted a cockroach sighting, which may relate to the surrounding leaf litter and wooded setting.

Campers who find the pond limiting should know that Lake Anna State Park and Shenandoah Crossing, a Bluegreen Vacations Resort are both within a short drive, and there are additional places to camp near Mineral for those building out a longer trip in this part of Virginia. The campground also offers a half-price discount for active-duty military. Families with young children tend to get the most out of a summer visit here.

Hidden Gem

This campground is underrated! Found this place by accident. Don’t let the name fool you, this place is the largest camp resort in the area. It has everything even a small grocery store.

Amazing

My family and our friends went camping couple of weeks ago. Since it was two hours away from our home it was a bit difficult for us to decide should we go or not due 9 month baby. When we first got there the guy who worked there welcomed us with very friendly manner. That was the first warm impression we had for this campground then he explained every question that we had even though he was busy. Not only the people who are working there is awesome but the camp ground was very clean and had many activities that we all could enjoy. My band had first seesaw ride, swings and had experienced with jump tube. Had little pond looking lake and I don’t know how to explain this. But the whole camp found was perfect getaway for all of us. Also I really care about the cleaners of the bathroom. This place, is very good with cleaning and stocking the materials that people need. I am definitely going back.

Trying to revitalize

Seems like they're trying to bring this campground back up to what it use to be. Older campground. Staff was younger people who weren't all that interested in anything other than getting you in and out. Sites were somewhat level. They do have a cockroach issue, but maybe that's because of the wooded-ness and leaf litter.

Great

We made a last minute reservation. Checked in and the lot we were sent to, was already filled so they gave us a prime spot, but there were people all around us. We camp to get away from people. We will go back to try again.

Lots of amenities, super friendly staff, AD military discount

Update since pool/moon bounce is open. My boys loved in the pool and on the moon bounce. We stayed this time in orange 4 and that spot is huge. It’s directly across from everything for my little ones. This place has a small “lake” but has two man made beach spots. The sand is very nice and clean. A small pavilion for shade due to Covid no chairs or umbrellas were out to use. BYOC/U. Not over crowed at all. They have kayaks to rent out. I will add the bottom of the lake was very slimey and mushy as it’s a lake\pond so bring water shoes if you plan to walk out more than 20 feet in the water. Perfect for floating or staying closer to shore. Bring some tubes or floats for the lake. Firewood available for purchase $5 bundle at store. Ice for sale as well. A Dollar General 5 miles away. Playground is older but my boys had fun using it for hours. Mini golf was very nice($3). Showers/bathroom we used near our “ black 12 “ spot was brand new and very nice! The spots are a little close in black areas but backs up to woods and we had an open spot next to us so was not a problem. All the staff was super friendly. The fire ring was very large. We already booked another weekend. They offer half off for AD military which is the only place I know that offers that.

Designed With Family In Mind

This is by no means the biggest campground or the most modern but something which can be said for this campground is it feels like it was designed with family fun in mind. From the bouncing blob to the oversized chess set, from the lakeside beach to the swimming pool, it seems as though plenty of thought has been placed on how to keep a family entertained when in this area of Virginia.

The sites themselves are not just average tent and RV sites. Instead they have various types of cabins which you can rent in addition to these. The tent sites are grouped in the same area and while there are only a handful of them, they are well shaded, nicely spaced and pretty even. The rolling hills of the area do not seem to effect the layout of these spaces.

My site was equipped with a picnic table however I did not have a fire ring or lantern post. They do have some upgraded sites for tents which include these or even have electricity. I enjoyed the location and when I was visiting there were not many people staying in this area.

I do wish I hadn't been traveling alone because it would have been a bit more fun with all the activities had I have had a travel companion. This is one of those places where it pays to have a buddy!!

TIPS:

If you will be staying on a weekend call in advance to book because of limited tent sites.
During summertime this place is like one of those dream summer camps with lake toys including blobs and inflatable obstacles. Try to visit during this time of year to fully take advantage.

its ok

Honesty this campground is nothing to write home about. The sites are ok, but not that nice. There is a little pond nearby that you can swim in, but if you're camping in this town, you might as well camp near lake anna instead. Christopher Run Campground or Lake Anna State Park would be a much better choice.

It was nice enough, just not really my favorite place to go. The amenities aren't lacking though. There is a pool, the little pond, mini golf, and hiking trails, so you can definitely find something fun to do!

Happy Fun Times Camping

This place is great for family camping. They have a pond, pool, playgrounds, “bouncy pillow”, mini golf, and lots more. We have camped here for nearly a decade and always have a great time. They are constantly expanding and improving the grounds. The facilities are clean and cared for. Not all of my customer service encounters have been pleasant, but they haven’t been bad enough to ruin the trip.
