Beautiful and serene state park. Like campground C with waterview and the unique equestrian campground. Clean bathrooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Be aware of azigzillion of squirrels, always stash your food.

My wife and I are in B Loop. Its a great loop for campers larger than 18' and well shaded. The spots are fairly level but you are close to each other. C Loop is tight for anything over 18 feet, well shaded, but not as level as B Loop. The bathhouse is kept up well by park staff. It's a great boating and Kayaking lake. I recommend putting your Kayak in by the office verses the Marina. There is a Splash Zone for the kids but no official place to swim in the lake. We did see Kayaker's swimming off shore on some beachy type areas. Bugs Island Brewery is 5 min away and super easy to get to. Great beer and the food is amazing. This is another fantastic state park in all aspects. Well done to the staff here!

This was a very nice park. The space between lots gave room so your not on top of each other. 30 Amp electric and water. Dump site is inside the park on the way out. A lot of hiking and walking trails, horseback riding and activities for all. Plan to return next year, same spot I hope. Park folks are very friendly!! Camp host came out to assist in parking, gave us information about the park and checked on us each day to see if we needed any help which was great. I needed all the help I could get. LOL. Even has a dog pole to hook your dog to so he/she are allowed to walk around. Really nice place so far this year.

A park with something for everyone. I enjoyed checking out the terraced garden area and reading about the history of the plantation. The trail is nicely shaded and allows a time for contemplation of those that lived there at that time. Also checked out the enormous boating launch area. Enjoyed the deck looking out over the area.

Questions & Answers

What are the rates for the cabins?

Matthew “TableTerrorMatt” Moiczek | Jan 10, 2020
Sarrah Drago | Jan 11, 2020

For a grooms party, probably ideal. There are 2 bedroom ones that sleep 8 I believe it was (2 bunks and 1 queen). October is off season so it would be the cheaper rate. Just remember, keep it classy, it is a beautiful park ;) hope you enjoy. https://www.reserveamerica.com/explore/occoneechee-state-park/VA/140179/overview This should bring you to the rate and reservation site. Cabins were fully stocked with kitchen items, linens and pillows on beds etc

Wich cabin number is close to water and it has a fire pit outside thanks

Michelle Bowyer | Jan 10, 2018
Nick Benipayo | Jan 11, 2018

My cabin did not have an outdoor firepit, I was there about a month ago. It had an outdoor grill and a table. I don't remember ever having a fire pit at a cabin there, however, there are fireplaces inside of every cabin. Refer to the park website to figure out which cabins are close to the water.

Is tent camping safe?

Rick Krasneck | May 14, 2021
Arun Sagar (spark) | May 15, 2021

Yes, this is no primitive camping place. Park rangers and camp hosts are also pretty frequent. With all the road and boat sounds, the bears probably are only in the signs.
