Wow! Wi-Fi is in. Hot spot is in their 24 hr game room and laundry rooms. What a friendly group of people, nice pull-thru sites for overnighters. We thought this park was exactly as described by others recently and a perfect fit for our needs. We were pleasantly surprised to see rigs from a Prevost to a class B here. We received a AAA discount and were told they are going to be a Good Sam and FMCA park soon. We were recommended to come here by our friends and are so happy that we found this place. The improvements are visible and you see the people working everyday. They made each of us feel special and we left feeling like friends. They have a saying on their name tag-"come as guests, leave as friends" how true it is! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We thought this park was exceptional-so natural, clean, woodsy, wonderful nice workers, with pull-thru sites for all overnighters. They separate their longer staying guests. Very clean restrooms, nice store and working on installing wifi presently. We have been here many times but the new owners improvements are exceptionally noticeable everywhere. We will be back, recommend this park highly! We stayed 2 days in our Motorhome. On one last note, when you are escorted to your sight, asked if they can assist you in hooking up and are welcomed with a smile in their office-this is a place you know you will always return to, what service!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here overnight. We checked in with no reservations after hours and had no problems finding a site. The sites we stayed in only had 50amp service. Staff was friendly and sites were good. Water outlet was heated which was a big plus in the cold weather. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
New owners are wonderful! Love this campground, is spread out not to close to neighbors and has everything I need to go camping! Great place to stay and see all the historical sites, stay for one night or longer. Well kept and working on making things even better and Wi-Fi will be coming. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A "lake" is an overstretch, but there is fishing in the pond. The sites are dirt, but OK unless it rains, at which time they become mud. There is a little Italian restaurant just outside the gate - owned by the same people. Very friendly and a treat when getting off from a long I-95 haul, but do yourself a favor and don't order the chicken marsala. If there is nothing else available, this is an OK place to spend the night. As for us, we plan on taking a different route in the future, so that we don't keep finding ourselves in this sorry and under-maintained place as it gets time to leave the road. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a one night stop over for us on the way to Hatteras. Campground, was clean, had gravel roads and pads. We were on a pull-through site which was nice as we didn't even have to unhitch. Our site was shaded, which seemed to be the norm - lots of mature trees. We arrived late and found our reservation information taped to the window at the registration booth. We didn't use any of the facilities. Staff was friendly upon checkout. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Spent two nights here. Had a nice laundry room, but bathrooms need some fresh paint. Otherwise, very comfortable. Good Italian restaurant within walking distance. Quiet setting and easy drive to historical sites in Petersburg. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
It's another old KOA that needs an infusion of money. Not a bad park, just tired and in need of spiffing up. Office store had few items, most expensive. Game area had pool table with ripped covering, broken Pacman game and a couple other old electronic games. Laundry was mostly clean but washers didn’t wash or rinse long enough to get clothes clean. Bathrooms were as clean as possible considering their age but it’s time for a remodel. Playground area has a few swings that need an overhaul. Pool was closed but in need of paint and cement deck fixed. A few sites have 50 amp, water and sewer. The majority is only 30 amp with water. Most long term/permanents are in back area by small pond, a few in wooded area. Overnighters are put in front. Sites need to be better marked but are roomy enough for putting out awnings. Rain almost flooded some sites by pond. A couple old trailers by pond need hauling away. Staff was friendly but seemed ill trained to handle registrations. The lady in office said she was only temporary as the regular managers were away. Dump station can be accessed on both sides and you can get propane tanks filled. We checked out other private parks in the area and this is probably the best and safest. Good for overnight when stopping to see the Battlefield but not a destination park. Easy access to I95 and Richmond. Nino’s Restaurant at entrance to park was okay and reasonably priced. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Agree with Jul 06 post. We also could not get a sewer site even though the park was not crowded. People are very nice. Thought it was over priced for its current state (KOA price but not the KOA quality). No wifi, a dial up connection is in the office. Sites were gravel at one time but most of it is gone now so may be muddy in rain...there is a lot of grass between sites. Our restaurant experience wasn't as good but that is because there was not enough staff and the one waitress was pulled everywhere. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First of all, I'm not completely sure about the nightly rate. We had no problem getting a full hook-up site. The site we were on was kind of close to the site next to us because we were on a site directly across from the lake. It was pretty to see the water out of our mountain view windows. The sites in the front part of the campground are spaced better and offer a lot of shade. Most sites offer cable tv. There was around 70 cable channels available through Adelphia. We just stayed at this campground for one night. The people working in the office were very friendly. I would recommend this campground for people looking for a decent overnight stop or a nearby weekend getaway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is fine for an overnight stay. I reserved a full hook-up site, but when I arrived I was given a water/electric site. Nothing could be done to change this since all full hook-up sites had already been given out. They do have a nice dump station for those without sewer hookups. The layout of this campground has a lot to be desired, especially for larger rigs. We made out okay (40' fifth wheel and truck), but that's only because we arrived early and didn't have to navigate around a lot of campers. Others that came in after us (5:00 p.m.) didn't have the same luxury and had to weave through the wooded area. The current managers did everything they could to help us and were very friendly. There's a lot of potential with this campground. Hopefully, some improvements will be made to bring it back up to par. The restaurant on the premises is excellent! I highly recommend it...large portions for a very fair price. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed here for six nights. Very friendly staff. Mostly overnight and weekend campers. Some monthly sites available. Campground is kept very clean. Campstore with limited supplies and pricey. Quiet atmosphere with very little noise from I-95. Would come here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is now called "South Forty RV Park". It is no longer affiliated with KOA although they still provide the KOA discount if requested. Roads are narrow, sites are not level, but there are lots of trees and a nice pond. The park is laid out well--not in a grid but in a manner that accents the natural curves of the land. Staff was pleasant and trash pickup was at each site. South Forty RV park appears to primarily cater to daily travelers--there were only a few RVs that appeared to be full time. I recommend it if you have good RV levelers and are just passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Older KOA campground. Arrival reception was pleasant and friendly. Escort service to your site by personable staff member. Our pull-thru site with 50 amp was level but sites are very close together. Older type bathroom/laundry facilities but were always clean and tidy. Pool water looked green and in need of attention. Not really a destination campground but good as an over-nighter. We camped here in a Motorhome.
When we arrived we could see evidence of recent digging and work on the sewer line. Raw sewage flowed "big time" from our neighbor's sewer and across our campsite the last 2 mornings we were there. Other campsites also had sewage flowing out of the ground sewage connection pipe. The management claimed to be working on the problem, but continued to fill the sites around and uphill from us. We complained loudly and were given a refund for one night. We had so much extra work when we arrived home to sanitize our rig. This was our first and will be our only visit to KOA campgrounds. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Park personnel friendly and our teenagers enjoyed the pool. Easy-on, easy-off I-95. Very
quiet campground. Campsites mostly dirt with some tree roots and little gravel, many are not level. Okay for dry weather, would be messy when wet. We stayed heading south and liked it enough to stop again heading north. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a very quiet and peaceful location. It appears to be primarily an overnight type stop just off I-95 as our neighbors were changing everyday. We spent 3 days there during our visit and found this to be a neat, tidy, clean campground. There were some long term campers but they were located in areas away from the RVers. There was no road noise, no trains or planes. Level sites and shade was available. The staff was working hard at keeping things neat and clean and presentable. We would stay here again. We camped here in a camper.

Campground would be rated higher, except for the price ( typically KOA and overpriced ). Nice restraunt on-site with very good Italian food. We camped here in a camper.
