This rate is an approximate monthly rate. This is a decent park, but the layout is confusing with mostly one-way gravel roads. During recent rains, it was obvious that drainage is a problem in spots. Nice dog run, excellent, newer shower / toilet rooms that are plenty warm during cold weather. I-95 noise is a constant reminder how close and convenient the park is to the interstate. The park staff is friendly. One area for improvement: Staffers should not be allowed to smoke around the guests, to include near the propane station. Yuck! Besides that, it is a nice enough place, and I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate is after KOA 10% discount. A little pricey but overall a very nice park. Easy in/out, nice long mostly level gravel pull-thrus. Most of their business is over-nighters. Cheapest propane I've seen lately at $2.89/gal. Road noise from I-95 as others have mentioned. Nice amenities like dog park & well stocked workout room. Camp Wi-Fi worked well. Both ATT & Verizon 4G signal and cable TV. Many trees so satellite iffy. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stopped here for an overnight on our way south. Pleasant enough staff; were escorted to our site which was fortunate because it is a confusing layout, particularly at dusk when we arrived. My impression was lots of thick gravel -- the roads and the sites -- and not a lot of grass to find an area for our two small dogs to use. Quite a few seasonal campers around the perimeter of the park, not unkempt and looked like contractors staying in the area. There was a good bit of highway noise as you are very close to I-95, but that usually never bothers us. All services worked fine, and our site required very little leveling. Bath house was older but clean. Convenient though a bit pricey for a simple overnight, but we were happy to get there after a long day of packing up and getting on the road for the winter. Easy on, easy off I-95. We would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate is for monthly plus the cost of electric. There are not many choices in this area and this is the best of the bunch. Close to I-95. Some complain about traffic noise but since we stayed for a month they put us in the back of the park so noise was not a problem. Park is clean, well maintained and has free, recently upgraded cable TV. Restrooms and facilities were well maintained and any issues were dealt with promptly by the friendly staff. We will stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great KOA. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good WI-FI, nice laundry facility and well stocked store. Site was level, plenty of room between sites, electrical, water and sewer were well located. This KOA is convenient to Richmond and other area attractions. We would stay here again.

Great park with pretty grounds and friendly staff in a convenient location near the highway. They are slowly making this place better and better and I really appreciated the fenced in dog run area. The good: * Fenced in dog run * Lots of cable channels * Friendly Staff * Great Location * Propane for sale on grounds * Nice laundry areas * Decent showers The bad: * Wi-Fi is really slow * Highway noise (but not any worse than I've experienced in other places) If you're looking for a nice, family friendly park while visiting the Richmond area, definitely give this park a look! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

First the good stuff. This park is convenient to I-95 just north of Richmond. It is well laid out, sites are reasonably level and roomy. Many tall trees provide shade, but do not reach RV roofs. Bath houses are modern and spotless. Roadways and sites are gravel, there are picnic tables and fire rings at each. Cable TV is very good, electrical service and water connections are also top notch. We didn't use the park's Wi-Fi, so I have no comment on that. There isn't a lot of bad stuff, but here it is: Closeness to I-95 does make for consistent road noise. Many of the sewer connections are high and may be higher than some RV sewer drains. Since water has a problem running up hill, this may require the time consuming job of frequently lifting the hose to empty it. Primarily due to the location, we've stayed here before and will most likely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice clean campground with friendly office staff. We were escorted to our site which they seem to do for everyone. Rate noted is a little lower since I cashed in $10 in KOA Rewards Points. The down side to the campground is that it is right next to I-95. Try to get a site as far away from the office as possible to reduce the noise level. This is the second time we have stayed here. It is great for an overnight on your way to your next location. Would stop here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Price with KOA discount. Very spacious sites, easily occupying all of the rock star coaches and their toads rolling in. Some noise from I-95. Price a bit high for off season. Wi-Fi a bit temperamental. Nice store/RV supplies in office. Escort to your site, which is nice. Treed setting. Would return. Friendly staff, clean showers with ample hot water.

We camped here 4 nights while visiting family in the area. The campground was clean and well run, but we were disappointed with our campsite. It was very close to the next site. We realized the 2nd day we were there that you could preview the sites and pick out the one you liked, but unfortunately we had not done that. There were sites there with more room than ours, so I recommend doing that. This seemed to be a campground that was mainly for overnight stays. I would recommend this campground if you are looking for an overnight stay, but not for more than a few days. The dog park was nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is undergoing updates and may just be the nicest KOA we've ever been to. VERY clean, with spacious lots. However, there are many trees, and we had to move to another lot because one of our slides could not be extended because of a tree placement. So, just let them know if you have a coach with large slides. Staff is wonderful and friendly. They are planning a rally room and fitness center. Nice, clean dog park. Just off I-95 and some road noise. Just turn the A/C on! Would definitely return. We are 45' plus a towed car on a pull through site: plenty of room. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground has recently been redone and this can be seen in the rest rooms and facilities, which were very nice. The space we had was not level and looking at vacant spaces, these did not look level either. The campground is located right off of I-95 and you can see the trucks and cars going by through the trees. Outside our RV you could hear the traffic but we did not hear anything when we were inside. There is a small swimming pool and playground. The sites are gravel and the campground is wooded with plenty of shade trees. The Wi-Fi was good and the cable TV selection was excellent. The people at the desk were very nice. If the space had been level, I would have given this campground a rating of ten. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good overnight stop. Convenient to I-95. Felt price was about $5 a night too high, but they are investing the money into fixing this place up. They've put a lot of work into sprucing this place up. Site was nice as was the dog run. Staff wasn't overly friendly, but were efficient. Utilities were good. Free Wi-Fi was outstanding. 40 channel DirecTV hookup had lots of premium movie channels, but the reception was fuzzy. Didn't have a chance to try the pool. Would stop here again for overnight or a few days to go to Kings Dominion. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very friendly staff, clean campground,seems to be well maintained. I had some trouble with my rv getting a tv signal and one of the staff riding around on a golf cart stopped to see if he could help. It turned out to be something on my rv and not the park service but the staff tried to help by testing the connection at the pole with another cable and tv to check it out. Nice dog park but did not see any doggie doo bags anywhere, this should be available near the trash can. Though there are always those who think they are too good to pick up their own dogs mess, no matter how much is provided for them. Anyway, the C.G. is located right next to I-95 but with an a/c on you don't notice it. And even outside sitting at the picnic table you hear it but it is not objectionable. All in all it is a very nice stop and the sites are all stone and fairly level, with easy entrance and exit. Some trees for shade but not a problem with hanging branches they seem to be well trimmed. We stop here often and will be back again, we camped in a fifth wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We paid $40.50 here with a 10% AAA discount. The people at check in were nice and the sites were level. Filled my propane while I was here on site. The bathrooms were tiny and cramped, but they were private. There was maybe 10 inches from the door to the shower and the toilet was crammed in there: very tight. This place was converting to KOA which means they probably no longer give a discount. We stayed here for the location close to I-95 for a one nighter. Not sure if we would return here due to the high price for what you get. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

The campground is adjacent to I-95 so there was some road noise, but not too drastic. It helps muffle the noises from the other campers. Level sites, easy pull-throughs, no problem maneuvering the campground roads with a 30' travel trailer & pickup. Standard cable channels (no HD stations). The Internet signal was good and speed was decent. Good campground for a night or two layover. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If you are coming from anywhere north of here you can count on getting here later than you planned. Because of the terrible traffic on I-495 and I-95, it took us 2.5 hours longer than expected to get here so it was pitch dark when we did. The late check-in pack was ready and waiting, the map clearly marked and the rows and site numbers easily identified. In the morning we saw how clean and orderly everything was. Along with being an easily accessible overnight stop this campground would be a nice place to stay for a few days to take advantage of all the nearby attractions. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is usually our first overnight stop when we head south, and our last night stop on our way home. We used a back in site, and the rate was cheaper than the pull throughs. We also got a AAA discount. Sites are thick, packed, level gravel so our rig leveled firmly. Year round full hook ups with winter-proof water shut offs are a plus. Friendly staff and guide to site as noted by others. This campground is close to I-95 so you can hear some traffic, but the easy access to and from the campground saves time and miles when all you need is a clean, friendly place to stop for the night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff was friendly, but this KOA is more accurately a parking lot than a campground. Most of the sites have little if any space. In our case, there was barely room for two folding chairs between our unit and our neighbors. Additionally, the site lacked a fire-ring and the hook-ups were awkwardly situated. Further, the highway noise is so overwhelming that outdoor conversation is difficult. As a final note, this is not a safe park for families with young children; the park employees race around the park after dark in golf carts with no lights well above the posted speed limits. Even as an "over night" this park is overpriced for what it offers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a pleasant campground near I-95 with very little road noise. The sites are gravel and ours was a very long pull-through. The width was typical of urban/suburban campground; it wasn't particularly narrow. There are lots of mature trees and we were unable to get satellite reception, although some others were able to get it; there is a decent free cable system and there are lots of over the air stations. The wifi was unstable as has been noted by others and we did have issues with our Verizon signal dropping out. Our site was fairly level and we had no problem leveling. The staff was pleasant when we checked in and in subsequent interactions. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The long, level, gravel pull-through sites and easy access from I-95 make this a great place for a one night stopover. Being escorted to the site, having daily garbage pick-up and easy access to two fuel stations as you enter or leave the campground add to the convenience. The staff is friendly and efficient and the camp store had many interesting items. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I hope I don't seem rude, but those of you who rate this park at an 8 or 9 are doing the rest of us a disservice. The sites are extremely small. There is no grass at most of the sites. It is barely a park. It is more like a parking lot. The staff was very friendly and it is very easy to get to from the freeway, but when I go camping, I like a little more than 6 feet of ground where I can put a chair. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is convenient to the Interstate with a truck stop on the way out which was great for fueling. We had no problem getting into our pull through space with a 45 ft rig. The Internet connection wasn't very stable, so we had to use our ATT card. Unlike one review I read, I saw no concrete pads. I only saw gravel which is fine if it's level. Ours wasn't, so we had to use boards under our wheels. We camped here in a Motorhome.

First time here. Nice park, neat, clean, my Verizon AirCard got FOUR power bars: never had that before. Might not be Memorial Day Weekend yet, but the store was seriously lacking in what we came to expect: no milk, stuff like that. Their bags of ice were incredibly small and incredibly overpriced (in our opinions). The staff although very professional, almost never smiled. But again, our opinion. Good park: would return.

We used this campground twice on one trip. What was important to us was a long pull through site (RV with tow car over 60 feet). Price is pretty high and rate reflects KOA discount. Staff was friendly, sites were pretty easy to get in and out of. On site maintenance guy helped me jump my tow car very quickly. Other than rate, the place worked great for our purpose.

We needed to overnight, this campground is easy on/off I-95. Check in was a nightmare, the clerk couldn't input info into computer, so he had to ask us the same questions several times. What should have been 5 minutes, tops, took over 15- not what you want after a long day on the road. We were escorted to our site, long and level. The traffic on I-95 is noticeable, but it did not keep us awake. Even though the location is great for an overnight, we will not return. $46 a night, that is with discount, is way too much for a place to sleep for a few hours. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground doesn't have much going for it other than it is convenient to the Richmond area. We were checked in by the most unfriendly camp host we have ever met. My suggestion to the red-headed gal is to get out of the hospitality business. We were assigned site 17 - the cable TV connection did not work but since the campground was not busy, we were able to connect to our neighbor's. The road noise from I-95 cannot be overstated! My husband is hard of hearing and it bothered his sleep. We felt like we were sleeping on the highway. The camp fee seemed overpriced for winter camping and reflects the KOA discount.

This is now a KOA, although the I-95 signs have not changed. It is close to I95, but is still fairly quiet. The proximity to the interstate explains the price. Roads are gravel as are sites. Sites are shaded and level. We had no problem moving our 40' RV with toad into place. Staff was friendly. The dog run was being constructed as we arrived. Otherwise it is lots of gravel for your dogs, other than the tenting area. Truck stops are nearby for fuel. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

While we understand that off-season is the time to do maintenance/new construction, the need to have heavy machinery outside our window at 8AM is unnecessary for two days in a row. This KOA is an excellent overnight stop as it is only 100 yds or so from I-95; it is very noisy. If we did not have family in the immediate area, we would not stay here for an extended period of time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Staff appeared very confused and unfriendly. While walking my dog I observed lots of no dog sections. Very noisy, from I-95 and small airplanes overhead. Sites very close together. Really loved the Richmond area which was the only reason we spent 4 days there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate is for back-in, 30amp site w/KOA card. This was a very clean and well maintained CG. WiFi and TV service were good. Sites normal KOA size, not large but OK. Easy on/off 95, shade trees. Plenty of big rig, 50amp sites. Currently expanding campground, so will have even more sites. Only negative is road noise: right along 95. Friendly staff. Very convenient to local attractions.

It is very clean, with tons of fresh stone on the lots and roadways. The staff was friendly, a new pool was in place but not open. It is very convenient to I-95, Bass Pro Shops, and a well stocked truck stop.It is not a destination (but they appear to be upgrading that) but a great place for passing through. We stayed Fri & Sat nights and will stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A campground that is in the process of becoming a KOA. Much construction. Upgrades are evident. Gravel roads and site, which was level and long. Staff unsure of new alignment of campground, so be sure the site is big enough for a motorhome. Our initial one was not, but they moved us to a better one. WiFi was strong. A convenient stop off I-95. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park.Just became a KOA- Nice landscaping, but heavily graveled paths are difficult to walk on. Restrooms are OK, but very, very hot and muggy. No AC or exhaust fans. It was in the 90s when we were here and they were really miserable. Water pressure was low. When a toilet was flushed the shower would turn off. Will stay here again when it is cooler outside.

While there is still construction going on and a number of long-term residents, this park has very long sites that are big rig friendly, excellent 50 amp electric. We have a good Verizon broadband signal. The restrooms are old but very clean and complete. There is lots to do in the area. I-95 is very close and noise is a real issue when you are outside. Office staff is efficient but not friendly. Rate is with AAA discount. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very Nice campground. Just finished remodeling. Looks very professional with a nice and welcoming feel. Entering the Campground reminds you of camping in the woods. The landscaping is out of this world. The grass, trees and mulching are professional grade. Very close to Richmond International Speedway and VCU. Will recommend to a friend plus stay and visit again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Here’s the thing(s). This is a nice campground: it has everything they say they do, but if you are annoyed by interstate noise, don’t stay here. When our A/C was on in our camper, we did not hear it, but with the A/C off, it sounded like you were sitting on the interstate (I-95) as it borders the interstate, only separated by a service road. It is a clean campground and the maintenance folks are quick and receptive to help if something is needed. There are shaded spots, but this is not a primitive place, the sites are small (very small), long and narrow and close to each other. They have campfire rings (we loved that). The kids went to the shower house and said it was really clean. The pool was tiny, but clean and only 5 foot deep at deepest end, so I felt the kids were safe. They do allow for dogs, another plus. They advertise a WiFi hotspot, there lies the problem. We brought two laptops so the kids could play their internet games once we turned in for the evening and I could finish a report for work before Tuesday. WiFi is a joke. The first day we had 2 bars, then 3 bars, service was fair or good. The 2nd day we had 1 bar or no bars, no service at all. Finally, the last day here we had 4 bars BUT, it was midnight when I was trying to get on to finish my report, so I assume it is a bandwidth thing and everyone with their computer had beat me to the bandwidth throughout the day. So please do NOT count on using the internet WiFi while here: you will be disappointed. If you are staying overnight this is okay. I’d stay again but only if the other campgrounds were full, but I doubt that I’d make it my vacation spot due to the interstate noise, non-existent WiFi and because of how small the sites are. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here five years ago in a tent ,and I still would not want to do that again, but in the travel trailer it is much better. We had a FHU back in that appears to have been recently renovated. The site was level and sufficiently long enough for us. The hookups were located so we had no issues getting hooked up. There is still a lot of construction going on. We ran the AC or at least the fan all night and could not hear the interstate traffic unless we sat outside. Overall this campground is good for overnighting or as a place to stay while in the Richmond area. The rate was a KOA special...buy Friday night get Saturday free. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Easy on and off from I-95. KOA has alot of work to do to get this campground up to their standards. The campground had been let go for years. They are removing trees to make it easier for big rigs, and upgrading the sewer. So the campground was very muddy and hard to get hooked up without getting in the mud. We will give them a chance to improve it, and stop here again in the fall on our way to Florida. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy access from I-95 is a big plus. You can see the interstate from most of the campground so the noise is a factor. It was cold so the windows were closed and we were tired so it didn't really matter to us. Most of the place was torn up due to sewer repairs or upgrade so it's not really fair to criticize for the condition of the park. A little pricey for the accommodations though. Gravel sites and mud everywhere. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is now listed on the KOA web site. They honored our KOA discount card and even redeemed our KOA points for a free night's stay. We checked into this park three times in eight days, as we were in the process of trading in and buying a new motorhome at a nearby dealer. The staff was very accommodating with our changing needs. It took us a bit to find a level spot in our back-in site. Our pull-through site was much better. During our stay the area was hit with torrential rains from remnants of Hurricane Ida, and about one-fourth of the campground was under water. Wi-Fi was strong and "free". This is not a destination park, but a very popular one nighter for travelers on the I-95 corridor. Yes, traffic noise is constant but didn't bother us. We would stop again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is not listed as a KOA, but the office folks were wearing the KOA uniforms. Nothing else to indicate the logo. Certainly not up to KOA Standards, and the price was HIGH at $39.50 plus 13% tax! They did give us 10% off. This is an okay place to spend a night or two, it's close to Richmond and there is a new Bass Pro Shop across the highway. There are several areas that are sloppy. We did stay here a year ago, and probably will again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Agree with previous reviews with one fairly sizable exception, if you are a light sleeper, this campground is not for you! I don't have much of that problem but my wife does and the I-95 traffic kept her awake for most of the night even with A/C running AND a sound machine right by her pillow. I was awakened more than most nights but can pretty well ignore such things - a light sleeper will be miserable here! 30 AMP breaker at our site (#30) had obviously seen better days and it would not hold, tripped whenever we turned on A/C, so got the adapter and plugged into 50 AMP, no problems. Guess a bit more attention to maintenance might be in order. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is really great for an overnight stop. It is very close to I95, but we did not notice road noise with windows closed and air conditioning on. Clean restrooms. There are very limited items in the camp store. The sites are level, gravel and, wide enough for slides and awning. The staff is friendly. Easy entry and exit. It was rained like heck with high winds while we were there - roads and sites drained very well. It is a great stop over while traveling either north or south on 95.

We arrived after several days of rain, and the sites were pretty flooded. We were only overnighting, so just hooked up to electric and cable, had to stand in about 6" of water to do so. Site was a good size and pretty level, but there were sections of the interior gravel roads that were very flooded making cg travel difficult. Cable worked fine, but no NBC, odd. We did not have a strong verizon signal, but good enough for aircard and cell. Pricey, but would use again traveling I 95. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The charge cited included use of a 15 percent-off coupon and all taxes. This campground is somewhat high-priced, but its' nearly ideal location on Interstate 95 makes it a irresistible stop for those travelling long distances north or southward. It is within several hundred yards of the highway, so some road noise filters into the park. We do not consider it to be bothersome. After an unsettled year, the new ownership has initiated upgrades to campground maintenance and personnel. We will gladly return again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our first time at this campground. While it would be easy to find in the daylight, it can be tricky at night. The people were extremely friendly. The roads are quite narrow to navigate. Garbage was left on our site from previous campers. The cable TV was terrible as there were got only a few stations and they were fuzzy. All hook-ups were within reach. Tree branches are not a problem.we did not use the restrooms or showers. It has a good WiFi connection. It is a little pricey for off season. (800) 628-2802 We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not a classy resort type campground, but a great place to stay in a big rig if in the Richmond, VA area. They have a pool, playground, and game room for the kids. The roads are easy to navigate (we are in a 40' dp with tow). The sites weren't too narrow, but not wide either - think moderate KOA sites. This cg is right off of I-95, which was not a problem at all for us. I prefer noise to sleep, so I actually found it quite cozy. The staff in the office/store were nice enough. Overall, we liked it here. We were close to our family in the area and being right off 95 we were convenient to shopping and restaurants in the area. We will stay again when in the area.

We have stopped at this campground in most of the past 20 years. It has always been a premium but ideally located overnight stop along Interstate 95. Americamps at Ashland changed ownership last year. It is under lackluster new management. Staff acts pro forma polite but uninterested. Trash bags left at sites by the previous night's campers weren't collected until 4:30 PM...including the one we were assigned at 3:30 PM. The garage/maintenance area is now parked full of large commercial vehicles and campground scraps...not an attractive view. This has become pricey camping for no-longer-premium camping.

Overall, a nice park. It was too close to the interstate, so the noise level was high. Also, the drainage was poor, so the rain caused a lot of the campsites to be in the middle of large pools of water. The showers could have been cleaner and a place to park for laundry would be nice. The Wi-Fi was intermittent (continually dropped the signal all day). We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an excellently designed and maintained campground. Primarily an overnight park for I-95 travelers, it is too convenient a location to ignore. Staff members are efficient. Large motor homes pulling bigger trailers will have to drop those in an adjacent parking area in order to fit pull-through site lengths.

Nothing spectacular about this park, but it is a good stopover. Very easy access to I-95 and the sites are level, adequately spaced and all of the facilities worked. It is a touch close to I-95, and you can hear some road noise, but it is definitely not as bad as many of the parks we have stayed at. We had no major complaints about the park, but then again we were there in the winter so we weren't too interested in using most of the facilities.

We were in town for a trip to Kings Dominion and decided to make a weekend of it. We stayed for three nights. I can not emphasize enough how close the campground was to I-95. It is the equivalent of parking on the side of the road. It was so loud that we could not sit outside at all. At night we had to run the fans to drown out the noise of the highway.

This park is just as advertised. Convenient. Easy access to it off I-95. Staying 1 month or so while I wrap up some work. Really nice employees. The lots are level. Property is well-maintained. They did "pack them in" for the recent race, but I can't blame them. Large rigs down to tents. Not a vacation destination. Safe, clean, friendly and well maintained park to set up in for a day or 2 or monthly. We stayed here in 2000 in MH. Same. It is very near I-95 and from where we now are parked you can hear traffic. But, we don't mind. A good park to set up in while you take day trips to explore Civil War sites, antiques in Fredericksburg , Colonial Williamsburg, Richmond, Richmond Braves, Mount Vernon, Wash DC, Busch Gardens, Kings Dominion and so much more.

When we got to the campground upon driving up we just started laughing. The campground
was about 20 feet from the interstate! So I guess you could say it was easily accessed from I-95. Once we pulled in a guy on a go-cart guided us to our lots. We were registered for two sites side by side. They had put someone in one of our campsites even though numbers were assigned. So he directed us to another site and told us our travel trailer and tent and two cars would fit in one site and it would be fine. We set up and then went to get our refund on the second site. The manager told us there were no refunds given even though we were put in one site. And to pick our second site. After an exchange of slightly unfriendly words, we decided to just put our cars in the second site and we picked one in which we could see our cars from the camper. After about an hour another RV pulled in and we were in their site. The manager wanted us to move our cars so we moved one site over. The manager then told us that two cars were not allowed on one site even though they wanted us to place two cars on the first site with a camper and a tent and it was in their rules that two cars were allowed per site. After about an hour we had the manager and about 9 other employees standing out at the sites arguing with us. The manager even told me that we were not allowed back to their campground even though everything we had done was what we had paid for or been asked to do. We finally ended up putting one car on the site with the camper and tent and the other car on the other site. To top it all off as we were leaving we over heard a lady in the office say another customer was going to need a refund because he was going to leave a day early. This was after the NASCAR race we had come to this campground to see. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed at this place for one night, as a stopover on the way South. It's actually a perfect campground for this purpose because it's easy on and off I-95. The site we had was adequate for our purposes. The major problem is the noise from I-95. You can hear cars wizzing by continuously. I would not recommend this place for anything but a quick one-night stopover. We camped here in a Motorhome.
