This park was an absolutely beautiful park. The sites were spaced apart enough for privacy. The park looked like it had some recent renovations and I can't say enough about it. The hike up to the overlook was fun, but a bit challenging. Make sure you pack a lot of water and a bite to eat with you. The beach area includes a canoe rental shack. It was too early for swimming, but wading really cooled us down after a long stay on the trails. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

After making a reservation through the web site, received a call telling me that the Beaverdam campground was not yet open and we had to switch to the White Oak campground which was also electric/water campground. Ok, no problem. Get there Friday afternoon and discover we can camp in the White oak campground but the water is not yet turned on. I have rechecked all my paperwork and nowhere does it mention that the water is not turned on until April 1st. We had to fill up the water tank at the reservation office but were assured that the water outside the bath house was also turned on. We looked but couldn't find a faucet that was working at the bathhouse. Would like to have had a warning about the water so we could bring our water containers. Also, paid full rate for E/W campsite even though we had no water. Most of sites were long but there wasn't much privacy between the sites. Enjoyed hiking around the dam and lake. Will probably go back to spend more time checking out the area and trails. Also, this is a Verizon dead zone. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an average park. The sites are adequate although some of the larger rigs may find it difficult to impossible to set up. The size of the sites are not consistent so it's somewhat of a chance to get the right size. There are no laundry facilities available which is becoming common at state parks. The bathroom facilities are worn out, and I wasn't comfortable with the cleanliness of them- - I opted not to use them. I enjoyed hiking the trails, and the lake (too bad the campsites at the lake do not have electricity) is very nice. My biggest complaint is not with this specific park but with the State of Virginia. They have increased the pet fee to $5 per pet per night. For me this is an additional $10 per night. I do not have the maximum number of people allowed in my party (6) and figure my regular nightly fee is already inflated because I'm not using the resources (electricity and water) the State has estimated to base their fee. My dogs don't use extra electricity, and the water they do drink is less than the maximum number of people allowance. So why the excessive charge for pets? I can only assume the state is trying to use the pet fee to deter people from bringing their pets. These comments have also been sent to the State from me. Sadly, I'll have to rethink my visits to the VA State park system. Their fees are close to a private campground fee which would include cable and Wi-Fi. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A nice park with lots to do, i.e., hiking, fishing, etc. The bathrooms were clean for the first few days, but as time passed and more people used them, they weren't kept as they should have been. Regarding the restaurant. We were a group of four. The service was awful and the food was bad. There was one other group of people in the whole restaurant. They were not pleased, either. It does have a lovely view of the lake and very nice decor. I didn't take the restaurant in to consideration in my overall rating because it's kind of separate from the campground. Clifton Forge had some nice restaurants, and a hardware store that topped off propane and charged by the pound. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Typical Virginia State Park campground; overall very nice and well maintained. There are three campgrounds available here: Lakeside(on the lake), Beaverdam and White Oak. Lakeside has no electricity, I'm not sure about water. The other two have water and electricity. There are a few pull-through sites in each but not many. Access for large (>40') vehicles would be difficult and the roads in the campground are pretty tight with a fairly narrow turning radius. We stayed in White Oak which is by far the more wooded and secluded of the three. The sites in the other two campgrounds are right on top of each other without much to screen you from your neighbors. Really nice lake to swim in and a nice restaurant, Lakeview, which is open in the summer from Wed-Sun. We didn't eat there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park! We camped here for 2 nights in the electric loop. The bridge coming into the campground is a bit harrowing, especially when there are folks fishing on the edge of the bridge. The camp host rode over on his bike to check on us, very nice gentleman. The campsites are well spaced and very well groomed, a nice mix of pea gravel and grass, with trees around the perimeter. The bathhouse is older but clean. There is a dish washing sink on the back of the bathhouse as well as a fish cleaning station. The lake, with its swimming area, is the main attraction at the park and it is beautiful. There is a nice trail surrounding the lake and the dam. The park store is compact and stocked with the essentials, and the restaurant is very nice. We enjoyed our stay, and will be back! We camped here in a Tent.

Very nice older park. Great for small rigs and tents. Lots of big wooded sites and great hiking trails. Nice beach for swimming. We really like this park. We used to tent camp here a lot. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a beautiful park with excellent facilities. The toilets and shower house were very clean. The personnel in the park were very friendly. This has been a dry year, but normally fly fishing available nearby, a lake to kayak, and lots of hiking trails. Located just north of I64, it's a great stop in VA. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great activities. Very friendly staff. Great deal. The best bathhouses I have ever seen. Well worth the trip of the curvy road to get there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We really enjoyed this park overall. Most sites are of decent size, we stayed in the Beaverdam section which had a new bathhouse in it which looked a lot nicer then the ones in the other two camping areas by far. The Lakeside campground was real nice but lacked electrical hookups, but did have an area in the bath room building to charge trolling motor batteries, as motors can't be used on the lake. I have read reports of the White Oak campground being tough to get into due to the bridge and the possibility of bottoming out, it looked as though the bridge had been repaved solving this problem. I don't believe I would've had a problem getting into the campground with my low riding trailer. There were a lot of nice sites in White Oak. Now for the only things I can find troubling are not having site specific reservations. When you arrive you get your tags, and just pick whatever site is open in the area you reserved. When I arrived I had a choice of two sites, with one being nearly impossible to get into with my less then 30 foot trailer, if I would've been stuck with the tight site I would've had to leave, as it would've caused damage to my trailer from nearby trees. We were happy when a nicer site opened up on our second night there. We were also charged $3 +tax per dog per night so that was an additional $25.50 I wasn't expecting to have to pay when we arrived, yet no pet bags, or other things were provided for my dogs. Seems like a ridiculous charge. Just an FYI our Verizon service didn't work in the park, though I saw folks at the swimming area chatting on cells, not sure what service they had. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We found this campground to have lots of things for the kids to do. Lake swimming,Ranger led activates,mountain bike trails,Free concerts, and always friendly park rangers. The only bad side we saw is that most of the sites in whiteoak campground where we stayed were not very level. it took 5 in. of levers to get us level. Also as posted in another review the bath and showers could have used some really good cleaning. A big bottle of bleach could have fixed it right up. Overall a good place to stay. Had a good labor day holiday. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a pretty nice campground in a beautiful area. The sites are spaced decently in the White Oak area where we stayed, but not very private. The bathrooms are always dirty and there's alot of mold in the showers. Unfortunately that alone will keep us from returning. We really enjoyed the hiking, biking, and lake swimming. The restaurant at the park was good and affordable. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a real pretty little state park located in the Allegheny Mountains and features some outstanding scenery. We would have rated it “10” except that we think that the restrooms/showers need a good hard scrubbing and/or modernizing. They are not dirty, but not as clean as they could be. That said, we should note that the restroom/shower building in section "B" (“Beaver Dam”) is being renovated at this time. We hope that the facilities in section "C," (“White Oak”), where we camped, will be re-done in the near future. The sites are shaded, very deep and wide, and they are (with a few exceptions) far apart. The whole of the White Oak section is heavily treed. Each site has a table, fire ring with a grill and a lantern post. The position of the lantern post will interfere with your rig’s awning if you do not pay attention to where you are parking. The lake is great for swimming and, I am told, great for fishing, but I never caught anything! There are two pull through sites in the White Oak section and we saw several large rigs, in the 38’-39’ range in the back-in sites. The dump station is conveniently located adjacent to the restroom/shower building. The lake side sites do not have water and electric hook-ups and are mainly for tents. There are many hiking trails in the park and a restaurant overlooking the lake. The town of Clifton Forge has two supermarkets and is only 6 miles from the park. We plan to go back many times. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

At the time we visited this park it was the fall of the year and the leaves were at their peak. Each campsite is level and gives plenty of privacy. This whole park is well maintained and the lake is beautiful. There are plenty of hiking trails and bike trails. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We stayed at Beaver Dam campground that was next to a state road; however, there were very few cars that went by the whole weekend so that was not a problem. White Oak campground has very private sites; however it is closed part of the year and there is a length restriction for travel trailers because of a drag going across the bridge into the campground. We will definitely be returning to this campground in the future. This campground would be a 10 if it had full hook-ups. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here right before the July 4th weekend and had a great time in spite of the rain (every afternoon)! We stayed in the White Oak loop - by far the nicest if you are in a MH. Most sites were occupied by tents or popups, with a few travel trailers. We only saw one other MH. We looked at the sites on the lake. They are small, packed together, and no hookups, but if you have a conoe or want to fish, it is a great location. We also looked at sites at the Beaver Falls CG. It has a little less shade than White Oak, and more crowded. The entrance to White Oak CG is over a narrow, low water bridge. We did not drag as we pulled out of the bridge and up the slope, but it is obvious from the asphalt that lots of people do scrape as they enter. Our site was level, shaded, and backed up to a steep slope with the creek down below. Our son enjoyed going up and down the slope and playing in the creek. The park is dog and bike friendly. There is a fee for dogs and there are bikes for rent if you don't bring your own. We were there for three nights and could have stayed many more before we felt we had truly explored the park. We plan to go again in the fall! We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of our favorite campgrounds...large, spacious, landscaped sites, paved roads, stocked trout streams and lake (in season) and even a kids only stocked trout stream. It is very beautiful and well maintained. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This State Park is gorgeous! The place is manicured. It has a lovely lake, lifeguards on duty, stocked campstore and nice restaurant. The campground for the tenters is lakefront and the larger trailers have a beautiful wooded area, although the road is a little tight and it took a little effort to get our 5th wheel backed in. Many hiking trails throughout the mountains and boat rentals are available as well. Very lovely place. We camped here in a camper.

Park has 40+ miles of hiking trails, fishing -- both lake and stream, fire grills, playgrounds, dump stations and a camp store. Clifton Forge is an interesting small town filled with friendly enjoyable folks. We've stayed at the park 3 times and have throughly enjoyed each time. Virginia charges $3.00 per day/per dog. We camped here in a camper.

One of our favorites. This park has three different campgrounds (A, B, and C). A is lake front without any hookups. These are beautiful sites but you must dry camp. B is our favorite because it is fairly close to the lake but also level. C is located on top of a hill with nice views. All are shaded. This park offers a restaurant, lodge, cabins, fishing, boating, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, lake swimming and lots of scheduled activities. Virginia has a well run state park system. We camped here in a camper.
