This is a great find if you’re able to get on the military base and want to visit Richmond. Water and electrical on site, dump station just down the road. There’s flashy about this place but it’s cheap and meets the mark if you’re looking to visit Richmond or the surrounding areas

This is a great military campground. The whole installation is just recreation. Plenty of amenities: pools with slides, beaches, boat rentals, fishing, playgrounds, mini golf, camp store. They also have scheduled activities (tie dye, hayrides, ice cream social, bingo, etc). I stayed on a partial hookup site. Originally my site didn’t have power but they had someone out to fix it same day and we were up and running.

This campground offers no amenities other than sites with full hookups, WiFi and a dump station. But it’s cheap, easy to get to, and conveniently located if you’re visiting the city. We opted to camp here while down for a Carolina Hurricanes hockey game, instead of paying outrageous prices for a hotel. The sites are easy to get into, the hookups worked great, and the price is right. You’re not going to get the quiet seclusion of the wilderness here, but that’s not what we came for. The sites on the ends of the row are right by lamp posts, so expect some light pollution. The nearby traffic and trains are audible. But again, it’s city camping so that’s to be expected. There’s plenty to do nearby. The sassafras children’s playground is the nicest public park we’ve ever been to. And the art museum right down the road is free.

This campsite is great if you’re going to the park. They have a free shuttle to and from the park which is really awesome. Some of the sites are small and rustic but the hookups are sufficient. It’s nice and woodsy but pretty noisy being near the highway, the theme park and a train track. I wouldn’t go out of my way to stay here unless I was visiting Kings Dominion.

This is a great spot if you’re looking to visit northern Va and DC. It’s a little ways from the city but very reasonably priced for the area. The camp sites are great, nice level concrete with quality hookups. The sewer is a bit far from the power/water which was a stretch for my little camper but it worked out. Beautiful water views, clean bath house and coin based laundry. A bit noisy being on a military base in the city but not bad.

We stayed here for my son’s spring break so that we can visit the attractions in the area (natural bridge state park, caverns, zoo, boxerwood gardens in Lexington). The park staff was very friendly and helpful. There are a ton of amenities including playgrounds, jumping pillows, arcade, camp store, catch and release fishing, pool, water slides, and a splash pad (the water attractions were still closed for the season while we visited). The campground is pretty dispersed and it seems like a lot of folks rent or have brought golf carts. I paid the lock fee to get a site close to all of the amenities and I’m glad I did. The bathhouse was clean. The WiFi is a little slow and cell signal was minimal on T-Mobile. Overall we’re very happy with our stay!

We love this campground! The lakes are beautiful and they have an awesome aqua glide park to play on in the middle of one lake. Theres a nice swimming beach and fishing without permit. You can kayak as well. The gravel sites are nice with a little wooden deck, picnic table and fire pit. I got lucky and got one with shade but most are full sun. The hookups are convenient and work well. We camped at Davis Lakes Campground in a Travel Trailer.

Overall we really enjoyed our time here. The park is really nice although I was surprised at the amount of trash all around. The bathrooms were very clean though, even if they were a bit of a trek from our site. The hookups were all at the rear of the site which made it hard for a small camper like me, my connections weren’t really long enough (I didn’t hook up water because I have a leak I’m waiting to repair). The amenities are good: playground, jumping pillow, arcade, camp store, kayak launch. There’s a water park walking distance but it was closed for the season. All of the amenities are at the front of the park, not exactly centrally located. There are a lot of cabins, rental RVs, glamping tents, etc and it seemed like a lot of the guests were staying there instead of rv sites. It was a lot noisier than I’m used to, dogs barking and TVs blaring. I don’t like their “No tents on rv sites” policy. There was plenty of room on the site for a tent, and again as a smaller camper pitching a tent is the only way to have more than 2 people stay with me (up to 6 guests are allowed per site). WiFi was spotty away from the main building.

For the price this campground has a lot to do. None of the facilities are new or pristine, but everything worked fine. Again, for the price, I can’t complain. There are two pools, which were clean and well kept. They had a small slide in one pool. There were several playgrounds throughout the campground, a 9-hole mini golf course, arcade, pond with peddle boats and kayaks, nature trail, and a par-3 golf course. The camp store had all of the amenities you’d need: firewood, ice, a small selection of pantry items, and souvenirs. It’s definitely a rustic, woodsy campground, and the sites are pretty closely spaced, but overall it’s a fun place to visit, especially on a budget. For about $30/night work full hookups, I couldn’t ask for more.

We stayed in the pre-season when it was significantly cheaper. This is a great campground on hatteras and I prefer it to the one that’s next door because it’s not quite as large and crowded. There’s a lot more grass and less concrete. The kiddo loved the beautiful, huge pool, the arcade and the jumping pillow. This will definitely be my go-to for trips to hatteras.
