Great State Park right on the James River. The RV campground is not on the river. However, tenting is on the river. The RV sites are large enough to fit any size rig. Enjoy hiking, biking, and horse back riding. There is a canoe livery and camp store at Canoe Landing. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have come to this park since it opened. With the addition of the Red Oak Campground, it is really nice. We come here 2-3 times per year We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great campground. We had a huge site with lots of shade and a lot of room bewteen us and the neighbors. The bathrooms and showers were extremely clean. The showers were some of the nicest I have seen anywhere. The staff and rangers were all very friendly and helpful. You can rent canoes and tubes to use on the James River and there are many nice hiking trails. We will be back in the fall. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an excellent State Park. From the moment we checked in to the moment we left, nothing to complain about. The park employees were all very friendly and knowlegdable about the park, its wildlife, and history. The trails are maintained and easy to walk. The canoe livery offers canoes and tubes, either with a tour or on your own. The bathrooms are very clean. The laundry room has a huge stainless steel sink in it and has clean washers and dryers. The camp hosts are very friendly. The sites in Red Oak are shaded with tall trees, plenty of room with our 36" fifth wheel, and mostly level. Each site we saw also had a sand area for tents, and the sites were clean. There was ample room between sites, you're not packed in like sardines. Firewood is $4 for 10 pieces. Bring what you need, nearest town is some distance away. Very well maintained state park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Best State Park I have stayed at in Virginia. Rangers really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

From check-in to check-out, operation is smooth. We stayed at Red Oak and found site reasonably level, large, and shaded. Bathhouse was easy walk and showers were family style. Plenty to do if you enjoy nature. Checked with canoe livery and they would transport our canoes for very reasonable fee. However, it rained and we opted to head to Appomattox Court House for visit. Fire wood available for $3 for 10 large hunks, seemed reasonable. Only two issues and not fault of campground: 1) had large bee/wasps eating sap from tree at site and some got into camper. 2) We wanted to camp near/next to friends and there seems to be no way in automated reservation system to indicate this. Ranger suggested calling after reservations were in an well before arrival; they would place us close together. It's a bit far from N.VA, but well worth the trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park! We stayed in the Red Oak section - nice large gravel sites, wooded, level, good drainage. Bathhouse was very clean. Tubed on the river both days we were there. Enjoyed bluegrass music in the outdoor amphitheater one night, visited the Nature Center and spent time with a very knowledgable ranger, hiked and biked on the trails. Trails and entire park is very well-maintained, all rangers and camp hosts very hospitable and helpful. Although there is no pool, at both Dixon's Landing and the Canoe Livery there are good swimming areas that all ages can enjoy. We will definitely return to this park! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This State Park is one of the newest parks in virginia. All roads into the park are paved and well graded...No problems with Big Rig access. All sites are gravel,level,with good drainage. New Electrical boxes with 20,30,and 50 amp service. Water pressure around 40 p.s.i. Lots of trails to bike and hike on. Horses are allowed in most areas of the park also. Restrooms were new and well maintained. This may be our favorite park yet!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The "Red Oak" camping area is excellent for any camper from a tent to a 40 footer. It has all the amenities listed and we loved it. The down side to it is that it is about a mile from the river. They have "primitive" camping right on the river in a grassy field (nice bathhouse up the hill, pit toilet near the river). I would stay there in the spring or fall when I wouldn't be craving the AC. I understand why they built the more modern camping facility at the top of the hill, the James River is subject to flooding through this area. Most of the time this is a beautiful rolling river. The park offers a livery service with canoes, kayaks, and tubes. They will work with you if you have your own boats to transport. The river rides are two, seven or nine miles(no tubes for seven+ miles). We did the seven miles in our own boats. The river is perfect for any family with little to no paddling skills, at least the day we went it was. Call and ask they are very helpful. Enjoy! We camped here in a Motorhome.
