Want to get away from the traffic and have a calm evening. This is the best place to stop by. People spend time BBQing, Fishing. I along with my wife stop for a walk here time to time. Need to explore a little bit more on the Pool side. I think there are timing to use them.

Reserved a campsite for Friday, Sat, Sunday of Memorial day weekend 2022 with our 27ft camper. Being a holiday weekend the campsites were not mowed in preparation. The pavilions were but for people staying a few days, more care should have been taken given the price per night and the higher end location of the campground. Campsite was extremely uneven and we were not prepared nor was our neighbor, who we loaned a purchased board to. Price for wood was $10 for 5-6logs - wow. Perhaps we are used to more accommodating and reasonable places. I will say that the location is close to everything and that was enjoyable. We didn't get to see everything at the campgrounds or lake but it is a nice area. The poor lots and lack of information ahead of time is the reason for the lower rating.

Fantastic place, there's skate parks, sports fields and a play area near the lake. The scenery is beautiful around the RV campgrounds

So much to do there! There’s the lake that’s always serene (but you might have to go early when there aren’t a lot of people since they can play music pretty loud). There’s many skate boarding ramps. There’s a massive area for camping (both tents and RVs). It’s a great location since it’s close to the “city” but far enough to be immersed in nature. They have a nice bathroom area as well as porta-potties scattered around. They’re almost always clean. The camping grounds we’ve used range from being next to someone else’s tent to being pretty far away from the next lot. You have to reserve an area if you plan on spending the night.

Questions & Answers

I have a 35 foot class a rv how much will it be for a night with full hook up ie. Electic sewer and water

Joseph Hardy | Aug 6, 2020
Rich Buteux | Aug 7, 2020

They do not have full hookups. Electric, 30 and 50 available. There is a dump and water fill. Dump has been reliable last few years. Rates are variable, as out of county senior residents we pay 40 weekdays and 44 weekends . OK spot if you have family there or need to work nearby or want to visit DC. Bull Run has some full hookups, nicer place, but further out.
