Picked this campsite as it was on our route and had showers. Thats all it had going for it. We paid a full $30 to camp with a tent for one night and I feel ripped off for that price. The showers and bathrooms didn't feel well maintained, had various insects building full habitats in the rafters and I took a lukewarm shower with front row seats to spider vs cricket directly above me. Even though the campsite was completely empty we were placed super far from the bathrooms on an uneven plot where our tent was wonky all night. Would have been 3 stars if it was $15 or $20 as I'd expect much less.

After a four night five day camping trip to Rural Retreat Lake Campground with my family we had a very nice time in site 46! This is not a bougie campground! It's very much a camp ground that has been around a few yrs! It still has a lot of life in it and the quiet atmosphere and spacious sites are very sweet! That being said you will most likely need to bring a fair amount of leveling blocks for sure on some sites in order to achieve a level camper! You will also experience a pretty laided back atmosphere in the campground as well! Most sites have a ton of shade which is super nice on these summer days! The play ground is pretty nice and my son had a great time playing on it! It would be awesome to see a bit more gravel added to some sites to cut down on the mud. We plan to be back early August for another trip and look forward to making more memories at RRLC!

Great little gem in Rural Retreat. Nothing super fancy and it doesn't need to be. Camping offers both primitive ($20 a night) and water/electric hook ups ($30 a night). Several picnic shelters scattered throughout. Good size public pool ($4 a person) and they now have a nice 9 hole disc golf course with some wide open throws that's great for beginning to intermediate players!

Gotta have a liscends to fish the lake and trout pond. After June 15th you wont be required to have the trout stamp to fish the pond. There is a free fishing weekend usually in June that allows fishing without a liscends. Check out then Virginia department game and inland website for those date and any regulations for lakes and streams.
