Reviews
Really beautiful small campground with RV spots and tent camping spots. Sits on a bend in the James River and there is a spot to wade in and fish the shallow water. You can catch a bus up river and float back to the campsite. RV spots have electrical and sewer hookups. Everyone gets a picnic table. Tent campers get a fire ring. You can get a fire pit for the RV spots or bring your own fire pit. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The (small) bathrooms with showers are very clean. Love this place !

Our entire experience was amazing! I absolutely loved the staff, from the lady I spoke to on the phone to make our reservations, to the people we met upon arrival. Everyone was so kind and welcoming! We tent camped for the weekend. Bathrooms and showers were extremely well kept, and the campsites provided more than enough room, even with a large group. We simply could not have had a better experience! We were all local to the area, but chose to stay here for the 4th of July to watch the fireworks and I could not have picked a better spot to see them! We will definitely be back! Thank you to the entire staff for an amazing stay! You guys are awesome!

This is a great, small, family run campground. They have a nice spot to wade in the water. We used their bus service to take us up the river and float back down. We brought our own floats, but they have some you can rent. We loved the place and we will definitely be back again!
