As with most Thousand Trails parks - it's a hit or miss with the various amenities. This park's were better than the average. There is a mini-store on site near the swimming pool. There is an 11 acre lake - but no one was swimming in it - there were people fishing however. The roads & sites are all gravel and there is a lot of rain erosion (read bumpy). All sites are 30 amp max with sewer and water. Verizon service is good. - Wandering With Us

Not a huge TT but fairly nice sites; Sections B and C are FHU; it was hard to find a level site as the campground has hills all over the place. The electric was good; water quality good. Wifi is not real good, but acceptable; TV antenna toward Roanoke is good. There is a nice trail around the lake which is part of the Walk the Trails; also used by golf carts & vehicles. The trails into the woods are roped off. I found one trail into the woods but won't go again as the woods are full of ticks. They have a nice activity center, pool, lake to swim in or boat; generally have all the normal activities. Disappointed in the laundry - only one washer and one dryer. They do not mow enough; seems like a full time job. The baseball field is not mowed; nor the field beyond it. The tennis court looks in rough shape and the shuffleboard courts are neglected as well. - Kerch Family

We have stayed here before but it was in the fall. This time it was spring . Everything is ok but still needs ground work. They need to put in some 50 amp sites for the bigger units like ours. - Vagrandma

30 level pull-through sites. Very bright at night - each site's electricity post had a light on top, plus additional nighttime lighting. Very close to VA 460, but noise level was tolerable. Excellent electric service, water pressure OK. Uncrowded mid-October weekday visit. Each site had their own oversized wheeled trash receptacle - very convenient! - D-S

GREAT Location to Appomattox (see posted pictures)

The Water Pressure is not that great - ours was just over 40PSI - BamaBob

Not much here for the money: no picnic table, no fire ring, no pool, very poor wifi but it's LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. It's within 5 miles of Appomattox National History Park. We had a long pull-thru which was level and had all the hook-ups. We parked in the front row under the trees, other sites are in the back two rows and there are no trees at all. As a campground, this is a high price to pay for what you get. But, it's close to Appomattox. On the other hand, Appomattox is a wonderful national park. We listened to ranger talks and living history talks, the film is an excellent explanation of what led up to Lee's surrender, the museum is good with lots of artifacts and explanation, the trails are fun, the store is quite complete. There are lots of benches in the shade and the roadside kiosks are also very good. We can't say enough good about the National Park. - swike

Off the beaten path, this state park offers clear night sky viewing and large sites. This is a true camper's campground. No cell service or other signals. Many hiking trails and a nice lake with diving decks and canoe, kayaks, and paddle boat rentals. Bathrooms were clean, but a little dated. Showers were also clean. Plenty of staff around and you see them everywhere. Rules are enforced. Nice snack bar, but tiny store. Bring what you need. We very much enjoyed the nature activities with the ranger. Not dumbed down and sorely needed for today's kids. They enjoyed it too. This is great for a weekend get away, but probably not much more. It is one of the oldest state parks in Virginia. - hopefulone

Another of Virginia's terrific state parks. Roomy and quiet. Lots of trails and lake activity including swimming, fishing, canoeing. Only downside to this park is getting there. GPS want's to route you down a dusty gravel road. There is another route, but it is a bit narrow without much shoulder. - HokieDon

Laurel Ridge campground is better than Red Bud with larger, more level sites. Campground host was very helpful. We rented kayaks for $8 per hour and enjoyed the lake. The beach is wonderful with lots of climbing structures in the water for the kids. Wonderful hiking trails. No cell service or wi-fi though. - Breezy2011

This is our second visit to this park. We have family in Lynchburg and this is the closest RV park to Lynchburg. It is clean, well run, kept up and a pleasant place to stay. The price is too steep but when you're the only game around....There is Wifi but we didn't use it. Our site was open sky so getting sat signal was no problem. There are also tree covered sites. There is a section that is seasonal, but it is separate from the transient section and it would appear that the seasonals keep up their area. Utilities are well placed and work as they should. We will stay here again. - jomark

Stayed for one night on Site #7. It was a level site on gravel with full hook up. Water, Sewer and 50 amp. I was notix able to get OTA TV or Satelite due to the trees. There is a lake for swimming and a large open field in the middle of the park for play. Close to Appomattox. It is a few miles from US 29 but a pleasant place. - PBD

Aug 2019 - $54.00

Nice park - good spaces many/most at least partially shaded. Lake with swimming and fishing areas. Pool, great game room, patio overlooking lake, camp store, lots of space to walk a dog - lots of open grassy areas to walk/run through. Shady areas to sit in. Down side, no wifi, no cable - we got 4 channels on the TV with our antenna -and during rain storms, you do want either tv or wifi...just how it is. - Dixies Mom

Terrific state park. They have some excellent educational programs. Great park for canoeing / kayaking. So much to do, couldn't do it all in one trip. Will be back. - HokieDon

Jul 2019 - $35.00

We very much enjoyed ourselves at this campground. The park is centered heavily on water activities because a section of the James River is, of course, inside the park. They have two launch areas, and if you drive your car to the one downstream, they'll shuttle you back upstream so you can float down to your vehicle. The shuttle costs $5, and the float took about two hours. We brought our own kayak, and nearly everyone in the park seemed to have a truck full of inner tubes, kayaks, or canoes. If you don't have one, you can rent one from the park. The campground itself was nearly 100% full when we were there for the holiday weekend, but it was surprisingly quiet both during the day and at night. Most of the sites are good in one way or another, although we're used to a little more space in between sites at Virginia State Parks. Thankfully our neighbors were nice. The rangers were fantastic, as always. The bathrooms and showers were not bad, but not exceptional either. The park is VERY isolated. The nearest shopping is at least 20 minutes away, so bring everything with you! - SteveMM

We chose this campground for proximity to Skylar and Appomattox. The park is set way back (7 miles) from the main road. This makes for a very quiet setting. Our site (Red Oak #15) was a very long pull through and was directly across from the bathhouse. The bathhouse is newer and of the same design as Natural Tunnel State Park in Duffield VA (women's and men's restrooms, 4 showers including one handicap accessible and laundry area. Very clean and well kept, great showers! Laundry contained 2 sets of washers/dryers, $1.00 per load. We were close to the camp host site which is where firewood was available ($6 per bundle). The camp hosts were very friendly and joined us at our camp fire one evening. No digital channels available on TV, no wifi and no AT&T cell reception. We weren't quite prepared for total tech-free. Park ranger was very visible and made frequent rounds. Make sure you are gassed up and have all staples and supplies before heading in. The area is very remote. No AT&T cell coverage though the camp host mentioned a strong Verizon signal. - MangoandJune
