Lake Fairfax Campground

i wouldn’t take my camper here personally but it’s great for tent camping especially with a group. lake is beautiful!

Chicken was easy and the Rangers were helpful. We stopped here to go tour Washington DC. We tried both sides 46 and 44 and both were not level.

Great bathrooms all singles w showers. Lots of fun things to do. Pretty peaceful despite being crowded and not overly scenic campsites. A bit on top of each other. Site 43 had good location, electric and trees. But was a very pokey gravel pad, a bit uncomfortable if you don’t have good mattress. Interior sites, less scenic but some have more grass. But also more slope. 43 was pretty flat.

Campground has mostly level gravel lots with fire rings, picnic tables. No water at site. Bath house is reasonably clean. Dump station is adequate.

Clean well kept campground with private toilet/shower combos as well as public restrooms. Busy campground and if you don't mind being right up next to your neighbor it will be fine. If you want more privacy thus is not the place. There are some spots that are more private but look hard to get.

We set up our tent in the far side of the campground close to the lake ( site 27). It is slightly slant but still comfortable in the tent. Bathrooms are close by and kept clean. You can buy firewood but is pretty expensive. Plenty of woods around to collect your own. The lake is great for fishing.

A great local getaway with lots to do trails, fishing, kayaking, sports fields, I’ve been many times but haven’t yet gotten to the water park. The bathroom situation is better than most campgrounds I’ve seen (you get a shower, toilet, sink and bench in a private bathroom with enough room for a family of 5) the people there are super friendly! The dude with the Australian accent seems a bit off the rails but friendly nonetheless!!

Around 60 RV level sites that have 110/30/50 but no water hookup. Drop point on-site and amenities are 6x individual ADA compliant all-gender that are large enough to fit a family. Sie has The Water Mine park, sports grounds, picnic and other camping. Staff are v.helpful.

We stayed here in 2021 overall it was a really nice campsite with a beautiful lake, The only reason I gave it four stars and not five is because it is not marked well when we got there it was late and we drove around in circles trying to find our site. One of the campers saw us driving around and around and came out to help us. He had a hard time finding the site as well. It was pleasant walking around the lake the next day though.

What a cute park! The skatepark did not bother us at all nor did the skaters there! My 2 year old loved running and riding her trike there. the skaters were kind to her being there as well. The lake is a short hike away from the campground. ( . 30 miles) and you could actually see the lake from our site. and the waterpark is the same distance. So with a baby and a 2 YO this was a good set up for me! The only thing I would have loved would be a playground right at the campsite area! You can’t swim in the lake so I suggest going when the waterpark is open. The bugs and nats were pretty bad too. Don’t forget bug spray! You can buy firewood at the main office. The sites are pretty big with grassy areas for kids to play in!

This campground is fine, albeit way overpriced for just electric hookups. I could definitely see why it might be worth it To families when their water park is open during the summer. There are some really nice sites but mine is way off level as are many of the 50 amp spaces nearest to the bathrooms. The park has a lot of trails and is close to good shopping and DC. Bathrooms are clean, functional, and heated. Staff are friendly and they’ve got a park host on site to deal with issues as they arise.

Absolutely the worst campground we have ever stayed in! We’ve been here just a few hours and have had over a dozen different people walk through the middle of our site! They walked literally between our picnic table and camper. It’s amazing! I would be surprised if we wake up tomorrow and still have all of our gear with everyone walking through. We camp regularly and have never seen anything like this! The location is convenient but even with that it’s still not worth it!

If you’re in Northen VA close to DC this is a great quick getaway camp site. Great sites that are clean and flat for tents. Power in a lot of them. Water is available at the bathhouse. Pretty clean bathrooms and somewhat clean showers. Everyone is very respectful of quiet hours. Only reason it’s not a 5 stars is a larger RV site is $50/night on the weekends but I guess that goes in line with all things in Northern VA.

Overall great site to get outdoors and not have to travel a long time. Plenty of trails, water park when in season. If you’re looking for something close with some amenities this is it.

Overall great sites, not many trees so some are exposed. There is a cool skate park right near the campground which is great if you like to use it, but can get a little loud in the evening. They also had on spot lights once dark. Great hiking, close to Great Falls. Kids also loved the water park! Clean restrooms and multiple large private shower stalls.

For tent camping I would suggests sites 30,33 or 35 these are tucked along the tree line. The bathroom facilities were the cleanest I have seen in a campground. Quiet time was observed and there are plenty of nice trails around for hiking and biking

As a first timer, I wanted to show my girlfriend a good time for her birthday weekend. This park had everything you could want while maintaining a good distance from civilization, which was a smooth transition for me. The staff and campers were great and we even got to see the cub scouts doing a relay course. The trails were nice and clean and despite the weather, the overall grounds were beautiful. Definitely bringing the kids back to his one.

We stayed here while visiting our daughter in Reston. Checked out the Mtn biking trails, skateboard park, Great Falls National Park is only a few miles away. Also went golfing at Top Golf. Super clean restrooms. If u you don’t like light pollution don’t stay near the skateboard park side of the campground the lights are crazy there! Bottom line: Great location with tons to do!

If you are looking for camping in Fairfax County Virginia, this is it, because there are only a couple to choose from. This campground has a lot to offer & there is bunch of activities available outside the campground. This is the first place I ever camped.

A lot to do: mountain bike trails (horses and walking, too); wooded hikes with water along the trails (great for dogs in the summer heat), skateboard park, BMX park, Water Park near the campground, fishing, & canoeing). Best quality: totally in the woods so summer sun doesn’t affect you.

Five stars for the restroom facilities. Bright, large, clean and very well maintained. It’s very convenient and plenty of activities for the kids.

However, this place gets crowded. I shouldn’t be surprised since it’s in the middle of the city but driving through the masses picnicking on the weekends takes you out of it. Also, because it is such a high traffic area, our campsite had small pieces of trash scattered around. Not a lot, but enough to be annoying. It’s not the park administrators fault, I think it’s impossible to keep a campsite like this perfectly clean when there are so many people with all of their “stuff” coming in on weekends.

Campsites are close together. If you like being around people and don’t mind seeing 3-4 other sites around you, then this place is a really nice and easy campsite. But if you want some seclusion, I would recommend other places.

The There's a water park, paddle boats, playgrounds, trails, skate park, sports fields, and the bathrooms are the nicest I've ever seen

Stayed for two nights with another family. They brought their travel trailer and our pop-up. The outer loop campsites are easily more level than the center loop. If leveling perfectly is a concern you may want to call ahead and ask before commiting to the inner loop. Electric hookup only. Bathhouse was very clean and the staff friendly. Water fill & Dump Station on the beach side of the bathhouse. This is a State Park so it's filled with activities. Great place to mountain bike as we noticed several groups camping and biking during our stay. We enjoyed the water park immensely. Ten of us in total with kids ranging from 18 months old to 13 years old. Everyone enjoyed the water park and the time we spent there. additional fee for access to the water park.

This place does have a lot of things to do like Water park, A big open field where you can sometimes watch cricket games, a nice lake where you can fish, but you're not out in the open, and there's only a trails to walk on it's basically a camp site in an urban town
