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.
