We had one of the "glamping" sites. While it was a small site we were very comfortable. I was able to park our small van and one other car. The tent was sweet! The fact that they put a power source, a Goal Zero Battery in the tent was a really nice touch. This powers provided lights and allowed us to charge phones, etc. I would recommend an additional blanket if early season. We were there in Mid May - the nights get a bit chilly so having an extra blanket was nice. But in the summer the provided bedding would be perfect. We stayed for 2 nights. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful!! Very peaceful and family friendly, We glamped, so they had a really nice tent already set up for us, My two teens and I slept comfortably on the double bed and cot provided My only complaint is the access to the firewood, We checked in on a Friday, so we left home after work and school and arrived shortly after the gate ranger left They ask you to not bring any wood and only buy from them, so we were left with no wood that night and cold cut sandwiches.. But overall great place !!

Policies & Rules

General

  • Limit 6 people and 2 passenger vehicles (no trailers or travel trailers) at each site. Read site dimensions and driveway dimension carefully as some sites may only accomodate a single vehicle.
  • This site does not allow for an additional camping unit. There is not enough room to accomodate personal trailers, pop-ups, RV units, or 5th wheels. Any person arriving with a reservation for a glamping site hauling aforementioned equipment will be asked to park the equipment off site for the duration of their stay. 
  • Group parties or special events are not permitted. Be aware that quiet hours begin at 10:00 p.m. Gate closes, but is not locked, at 8 p.m. and opens at 8 a.m.
  • The power units have approximately 1000Wh (12.0V, 1,000Ah). They are excellent for recharging phones, laptops, and tablets, illuminating small lights, etc. They are not intended for heavy uses of heaters, large fans, cooking equipment or other heavy electronics. Units cannot be recharged quickly (once the power unit is drained it takes 18 hours to re-charge), so guests should use the power available conservatively. Charge times for various devices are located on the units and if damage or impairment of the normal operation of the unit occurs guests will be liable. 
  • Due to the natural outdoor environment and the fabrics and canvas of the tent, as well as comfort for future guests, we do not allow smoking inside the tent or on the tent porch. Please also be considerate and remove dirty/muddy shoes or boots on the tent porch. 
  • Pets are allowed on-site. Dogs must be kept on-leash or contained and supervised for the duration of your stay. Dog fences are not allowed in the campground. Pets are not allowed on the beach. 
  • Campground hosts are available to glampers, and their sites are clearly marked. Hosts are present to provide assistance and guidance to visitors at any time.
  • Fires are only permitted within established fire rings. DO NOT burn material which could contain metal objects such as nails, screws, etc...
  • No personal boats are allowed on the lake. 
  • This campground is managed by Naventure. 
  • Don't Move Firewood. Help protect our forests! Prevent the spread of tree-killing pests by obtaining firewood at or near your destination and burning it on-site. Moving firewood is illegal in some states. Visit dontmovefirewood.org to learn more.
  • Swimming area open from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., Memorial Day to Labor Day.
  • Lake Powhatan is located in black bear territory. Visitors are expected to keep all smellable items locked away inside a camper, vehicle, or provided bear box. Visitors who do not comply with this rule may be asked to vacate the facility due to an increased risk of public safety.
