Lake Powhatan

Weather was great, no fire due to the statewide burn ban, campground was a bit loud

Busier than I expected. Not many sites available to choose from. The site we ended up with was nice. The showers and restrooms are well kept. The water could have been hotter but very grateful for the amenity. Welcoming and helpful staff. Nice work!

We had the best time. It is a very nice campground.

The campground is awesome! The sites are spaced reasonably apart, so you’re not stacked right up against other campers. Each site is spacious and well maintained. During my stay, they were in the process of installing new bear boxes on freshly laid cement pads at every site.

There are sufficient water stations and dumpsters throughout the campground, so you’re always in close proximity to running water and waste disposal.

All of the hosts and staff were very friendly and polite.

I am only giving 4 stars because of an issue with Recreationdotgov, not the campground itself. I was completely unaware of the statewide burn ban when reserving my 5-night stay. Nothing during the reservation process informed me of the burn ban—no notice on the website, no complimentary email, nothing until I checked in at the campsite.

I do take partial responsibility for not knowing, but I also feel this is something Recreationdotgov should clearly communicate before reservations are made, because it would have changed my itinerary. I likely would have moved my reservation to Tennessee, where campfires were permitted.

Aside from that, my stay was pleasant, and I would definitely stay here again—and most likely will in the future.

Only there one night but plane to return. Beautiful site and loved that it had electricity, water and sewer. Bathrooms a little outdated and worn (probably due to unfortunate federal budget cuts) but overall great.

Wonderful campground with excellent staff.

Great campsite. Plenty of privacy and space between sites at 59. Staff was friendly. Average bathrooms and showers. Big bear boxes at sites to store food. Not a knock on the campsite, but I wish the website would let you know about burn bans. There was a state wide burn ban at the time , so I would suggest checking elsewhere to see for any alerts.

Very nice

Great place to camp! We enjoyed the mountain bike trails.

Everyone was so helpful and accommodating. Cannot wait until I can go again.
