I was just there 9-12 August 2007. I had a huge pull thru site # 9. I have levelers so the fully paved site was a easy set up. I didn't like the pea gravel where the huge picnic table was. All sites I saw had a wonderful fire pit and grill furnished as well as a pole to hang the light- I will return here--I loved the place. Rest rooms and showers are wonderful and they kept them spotless. I enjoyed the pool-a short distance away. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really loved this park..It is small and not a lot to do in the area, but thats exactly what we were looking for. Section B was new and very nice with black top sites and roads. The sites were not level, but fixable. The bath houses were the nicest we've ever seen in our camping experience in state parks. Cons: Their reservation system stinks. They do some (or all, not sure) of their reserving through Reserve America. Although they say on the reservation site, no specific sites assigned, we talked to RA on the phone they assured us we would have a site comparable to what we needed. Not so...we arrived on a Friday to find that we were the last big rig to come it that would be getting a decent size site. There were pop-up campers in the 50-60 ft pull throughs and Motorhomes in the older section with their fronts hanging over the site. This occurred the whole week we were there...So we concluded the sites are not even assigned but given on a first come basis.The camperhost was very nice in explaining, but firm in the attitude that we could take it or leave it. She explained there would be a lot of mad people that weekend and their probably were, we were to busy to watch and see, but we did see the effects of the poor reservation system (as described above.) Other than that, it was wonderful. If you go to the park with no expectations on your site, you will not be disappointed. If you go expecting a nice pull through or in the new section, and don't get it, you will be very disappointed. Also, they need more than 1 camperhost, she was running her legs off the whole week we were there, and we never saw her leave the campground and felt really bad for her. Other than that this campground is a 10 in our book and we would definitely return again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is our second stay here. We stayed for 6 nights and couldn't ask for anything better. The only reason I gave the park a 9 was the poison oak/ivy around our campsite. Once that's addressed it will truly be a 10. We are considering going back in the fall for another week. There is so much to do and see. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We live only 20 minutes away and this park is a gem! Lovely park for big rigs in the B loop. as long as you just want quiet. If it is a lot of hustle and bustle you want, then this is not the place. Wonderful State Park with nice, though (hilly) walking/bike trails. Nice riverfront area to swim, but a slight walk or ride from CG. Cannot wait to go again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

What a great park. Easter weekend snow added to the experience. Stayed in the new B section. Sites are paved and fairly level. Bathroom was very clean. Drove thru the A section - sites are older and well worn. Most looked like it would be hard to find a level spot for MH but the TT seemed to fit fine. Excellent area for hiking and the swimming pool is a plus for a hot summer day. Visit the Historic area in the park and just a short trip (free ferry) to the Williamsburg side of the James River. VA parks are top notch. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had hoped to stay in the new B loop but due to the ceiling falling in the new bath house, we stayed in the older A loop. The sites are not as flat but we had a great stay. We arrived on Saturday and left on Wednesday. After Saturday night we were almost alone in the campground. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Excellent off the road campground. Very quiet and well maintained. If you are looking for a go getem type campground, this is not for you. If you want to relax with nature, swim, walk the beach, and enjoy peace and quiet then this is it. We will came here again, and soon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our second stay at this state park and it was great. they have just opened a new thirty site loop and it is all paved with new elec.and water hookups. new bath houses are awesome, large showers, open restrooms, laundry room, and well lit. We felt very at home in this campground. The old section may have a more rustic feel but the new loop is the bomb! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Although the sites were not level, we were able to level our 5er. There was plenty of shade and the free access to the swimming pool was a big plus. The staff there was new and not well trained but got through the check in process with some help from a ranger. The location close to Jamestown, Yorktown and colonial Williamsburg was very important to us, and we enjoyed the ferry crossing. The plantation and the museum had a special event (gas and steam engine show show) that we were not interested so we did not get to see them. The staff at the park and the museum were extremely friendly and capable. We enjoyed our stay and plan on returning some day. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

For our first weekend trip out this year, we wanted to stay fairly close to home so we decided on Chippokes. This park located in Surry County VA is located on the James River, however, the campground is back off in the park with no views of the River. It is early April, so the park didn't have the gates manned or anyone available (at gate) to give you information. So I drove to visitors center (which was manned) and found that the camphost had our reservation. Up driving around the campground, the first thing I noticed was how UNLEVEL the sites were on the upper side of the camproad. There are 32 sites and I parked on the lower side which did take a few back breaking attempts to get my trailer level. Once I struggled through this obstacle, I did relax and enjoy the quitness. A saturday rainy day gave us an opportunity to explore Surry County (Edwards Ham Shop) and a free trip across the James River on Jamestown Ferry. The State of Virginia has a ban on outdoor fires (wood burning and charcoal), so we were unable to sit by the campfire on this trip. A hard drivin rain Saturday evening and night keep us inside. The next morning I was impressed to see that the rain water had drained away fairly good. The camphost was very friendly and did say that the Park is adding more "big rig" friendly sites that supposely has sewer hookups. The park does have a swimming pool, however, like I said, it is early April and not open. Even though we were in a TT, I choose to use the facilities at the campground and they were extremely clean for a state park. Their was only one bathhouse in the campground, and separate mens and womens restrooms. They had four shower stalls which were also clean and lockable for safety reasons. I assume shared shower stalls for both sexes. There is no store on the campground, so a 10 min trip out to the closest store is required if you forgot something. Other than that, it was a quite and relaxing weekend, the DW and I would visit this park again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice campground with some trees and greenery but most sites quite unlevel and not big enough for large rigs. We only have a 30 ft class A and did find a relatively level spot with room for our toad. There is a new campground loop under construction that looks like it will have much larger, more level sites for big rigs; don't know when it will be complete. Mid-week the park was wonderfully quiet, we really liked the College Run Trail and saw Bald Eagles and Osprey with a nesting chick. The farming museum was really well put together and had lots of interesting items on display. We took the free ferry several times to the other side of the river to see Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown; we loved it. Bathrooms were just fine and there are four private shower rooms that were clean and roomy with lots of hot water and places to put your stuff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a really great state park, off the beaten path, clean, not crowded. Had the biggest pool I've seen in my life. For all it had at $23 a night, I was scratching my head over why I ever pay top dollar for some of the private campgrounds I've visited. Will go back! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent campground. Staff very friendly. They are almost finish with their expansion wich will double the size of the campground and provide pull-thru sites for the big rigs. Could not find out if they added sewer to the new section. Will stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Have visited this remote state park several times. It is a very clean and quiet park, well off the beaten path. It is across the James River from Jamestown and Williamsburg, with access via a free ferry ride complements of the VA Dept of Transportation. Camp hosts are available and quite helpful. Come to Virginia, you will love the countryside. We camped here in a camper.
