We have stayed at this park several times because we are season pass holders to Kings Dominion. The bathrooms and showers were clean. They don't have cable here, but TV reception is fine. If you want to hook you satellite up, you should get a pull through below the restroom, on the park side of the campground. The train noise has never been an issue for us. The free shuttle to the park is great, but they do not allow you to take pets on it anymore. We usually drive to the park w/ the dog and drop her off at the kennel. During the day we use the shuttle to go back to the campground. Friendly staff. Just wish they had cable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great location: can easily walk to Kings Dominion Park and Burger King and Denny's. Truck stop here too with diesel fuel and truck wash available. Propane fill available at campground. Large pull-through sites. Not perfectly level, but level enough for auto levelers to work. Full hookups are available. Reservation desk gave us a site without sewer at first, which was corrected when I called the day of arrival to confirm again. Not sure why they made the mistake since I asked for sewer several times by phone and email confirmations. Worst website of all the campgrounds I have ever been to: basically the campground does not have a website. Wi-Fi is only available at the front building, not on campsites. TV antennae reception was good. To earn a 10, this campground needs concrete level pull-through pads for big rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As previous reviews mentioned, this is a large park associated with Kings Dominion amusement park. (Try to find a "real" campground map; all you get is info on the amusement park.) It is less than a mile from I-95, but we did not hear road noise; roller coaster was not bad, and the trains did not run often at night. There are a lot of shade trees, and the tenting sites are large and shaded, though most were as far from the one bath house as you could get. Registration was easy and fast, our Good Sam club having made reservations in advance. However, the bathrooms/showers definitely needed attention. Shower floors and walls were clean, but don't look up. Gunk in ceiling vents was not encouraging. Also, they have no changing area for the showers so there is one bench and 6 hooks; it's like back in junior high. Toilets were clean, but one stall had minimal toilet paper on Saturday and by Sunday afternoon still had not had new paper added. Were they 'really' cleaned? Or did they just pass a mop over the floor? But my biggest complaint is with the hidebound, rigid rules and the lack of common sense displayed by management. My wife and I went to the pool with a couple of foam noodles to use for exercise on our arthritic knees and joints. We were told, no noodles. Why--because it's a rule. I asked to see management. The manager showed up and said we could not take the noodles in. Why? Because he had to support his life guard. But WHY no noodles? It's the rule. I pointed out it wasn't posted. That's when the lifeguard said it was posted....at the water park in Kings Dominion. Ahhh there is the issue. The rules for the water park--super slides, surf machines, crowded floating rivers--are the same as for the relatively small swimming pool at the campground located over a half mile from the park entrance. Where is the common sense in that! And the manager, rather than challenging the lack of common sense, or requesting a waiver for the park, backs a young life guard who feels he needs to keep to the letter of the rule posted far away. Add to that, there were a total of 4 other people in the pool at the time. Bad enough, and enough to make us not want to go back. But in checking with our club, one member took her grandchildren to the pool on Sunday morning and the pool was closed. Why? Because the swimming pool at the campground has to have the same hours as the water park at Kings Dominion. Apparently management is only interested in getting the money and people into the amusement park and doesn't really care about campers. Now, if you want somewhere close to stay to go to the amusement park, this might be an OK spot. But if it is camping experience you are looking for close to Richmond, this is NOT a good place to stay. And if you are traveling I-95 and looking for an overnight, you would do far better staying at the Flying J a few miles north or the Bass Outlet a few miles south, both with better bathrooms and both at NO charge. We camped here in a Motorhome.
