Travel safe

Peaceful park filled with plenty of tall trees to stay cool during the summer months. Stayed 21 days (max limit) in June and temps at our site (B46) averaged about 5-10 degrees cooler than out side the park. Fairly decent sized spots, some are hit or miss when it comes to bare dirt, grass, mossyness, leaf/pine covered grounds. Same with levelness of sites for rvs. Miles of trailes and plenty of wildlife with a few historical sites. AT&T currently at full bars 4g.

Clean, safe & filled with families. Lots of space assigned to each site. No septic per site but convenient dumping station. Large, spacious park with trails & other activities.

Nice walking trails for younger kids and easy access from both sides or town me an my son come here all the time

We stayed at site D100 for 10 days. The sites are quiet, very spacious, nicely spaced, some surprisingly so, but many are deceptively unlevel, particularly on the outside of the loops, and are heavily wooded. Some loops are primitive, some have only 20A service and some have 30A service and water hookup. There are no sewer hookups, but there is a dump station. There are a lot of low hanging branches on the roads through the park and it is showing some signs of age. There is some road noise from I 64, but not too bad if you stay deeper into the park and away from the lake. AT&T had 2 bars and 6 MB/s w/o a booster, 3 bars and 8 MB/s with it. There is no satellite coverage due to the heavy tree canopy. OTA TV was descent using an external omni antenna. There is no WiFi. We had the place pretty much to ourselves during the week, but the weekend did get busy. There is a very nice network of trails, most if not all were leashed dog friendly. The park is a civil war historic site and is close to a lot of other historic places.

If you like a campground with alot of trees and water, this is a good place. Camped with our travel trailer so did not use or visit the restrooms or showers. Numerous great sites to see within an hours drive.

We were pleasantly surprised how nice this campground is. It's nice and wooded and very pretty! We had to get an electric site even though we are tent campers but there weren't too many RV's around. But I have to say this campground is literally crawling with ticks. They were everywhere, all over the tent, chairs, and all our other equipment. I've never seen so many in my life. So be prepared!

Great hiking here! And a fabulous playground for the kids!

This campground is pretty nice, especially if you’re in an RV. No full hook ups, but there are many level spots and it makes it easy to go to the dump station that’s on site. There’s no swimming and the rental bikes are terrible, but the park itself is nice to walk and there are really lovely trails as well. The bathroom was horrendous and you cant use the potty unless you’re willing to straddle the toilet to shit the door. Nice camp store and the boat rentals are nice. It was sad to see no one picked up sites (many had trash left everywhere) and it was very frustrating to see people climbing all over the protected sites. Calling to let the rangers know did nothing. Overall nice, but extended stays may not be much fun for tweens/ teens.

Not very many secluded sights, in the middle of a very busy area of the city of Newport News.

Have stayed here several times, it's nice & woody, some lake front sites, most have water & electric. It boasts a 5 mile hike & bike trail. If you're a history buff, the campground itself was built on top of a Civil War Battlefield site (https://www.mycivilwar.com/battles/620416d.html), large playground area central to most of the five loops. Bath houses were a little dated, a full retrofit is over due.

this location has plenty of all types of sites and has a good amount of things to do within the park itself from playgrounds to nature walks to boating and fishing. The ranger and welcome stations have plenty of local information if you run out of things to do in the park.
