Lake Anna State Park is a large park with several trails for horseback riding/bicycling/walking. The park is in a rather remote location so be sure and bring all the food/beverages/consumables that you'll need for the duration or your stay. The campsites are large and spaced well away from one another for lots of privacy. Since it was towards the end of the season, the campground was fairly empty. The lake is located adjacent to the campground and is accessible from a paved walkway (downhill towards the lake). It's about a 10 minute walk. It's not listed on any of the pamphlets, so be sure and look for it. The restrooms (2) were large with laundry facilities and 5 showers each. We enjoyed our stay, but may not be back due to the remoteness of the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very nice Virginia State Park. Plenty of hiking trails, swimming in the lake (roped off area for swimmers) and activities for the family. The host came by as we were setting up to tell of about events for the weekend - I saw them do the same for all new arrivals. The host even shoveled out the fire pits upon departure. The lake and visitor center are a 10 minute walk down a paved trail. They encourage boaters and provide parking off of your site if needed. Will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved this park. Numerous hiking trails are wide and clean. Even though it is not right on the lake, it is only a short walk down an asphalt trail to a very nice swimming beach. Sites are some of the largest we've seen, and very well kept. We would definitely go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Excellent campground with roomy sites. The facilities were spotless and well-maintained. The only down side was the lack of sewer hook-up. But, the quality of the rest of the campground more than made up for this. Will definitely go back in the spring. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We loved this campground! The sites are level and huge - both shady and open available. On the first night we were the only campers in the entire campground and the most any night was four. The host was very friendly and helpful. The campground loop with 50 amp is new, clean and has excellent roads. The bathroom/shower building is also new. There is no WiFi. The drive to the lake and beach is long but we were there to take in the Civil War sites around Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania. This involved some driving but the campground was so nice it was worth it. Another great Virginia State Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We just returned from a full week at Lake Anna State Park. We picked site 32, which is a long pull-thru, for our 34' double slide TT. We also had a second vehicle and a boat. Water pressure on site was very high requiring a pressure regulator. 50 amp hookup was a pleasant discovery. Our site was level side to side. Negatives were large gravel (2" nominal) making under awning area extremely irregular. Dump station and trash dumpster are very far from site. Racoons will strew any outside garbage at night. Driving distance to beach and boat ramp is almost three miles! No place to tie up a boat and leave it. Ramp closes at dusk so boat must be out of water before dark. Our campsite according to GPS was about 500' from water but there was no access trail through woodlands to waterfront. I was able to receive 110 and 119 West Dish network OK. Cell phone access OK. Nice Hosts were present. Picked up both digital and analog TV stations from Richmond and Charlottesville. Ice and groceries not available in campground, 7 miles to nearest store. +++++'s outweigh negatives. We look forward to returning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice campground. The sites are huge. I suppose this is to allow campers who bring both a camping unit and a boat. Swimming beach and boat launch are included in the camping fee. The campground is relatively flat which is good for bicycling. It also has a lot of hiking trails. We will camp there again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Another very nice Virginia State Park. A number of large pull through sites to go with the large back in sites. This is also one of the state parks that offer pop-up camper rentals. We stayed there over Labor Day weekend and one of our friends took advantage of this - I believe the rate for the pop-up was $50.00 a night. The campground is a 10 minute walk from the beach and boating area. Would definitely come back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was a beautiful Fall weekend, with great weather. The campground was filled almost to capacity, but was very quiet. The sites are large, and spaced nicely apart. The bath houses were the nicest we've seen at any state park, complete with laundry facilities. We will definitely return! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

As others have stated, this park is brand new and there are some bugs to be worked out, but overall, a wonderful addition to the otherwise bleak camping options on Lake Anna. The w/e sites will accomodate the biggest rigs. Several nicely equipped pop-ups are available for rent already on sites and there are 10 or so very nice cabins are also available. Sites on the camping loops have been cleared for more cabins, but I'd rather see those sites used for additional campsites. There are 2 bathhouses with private showers - very well cleaned. Many hiking/biking trails are available, but the maps are confusing - again, the park is going through the growing pains and, based on our experiences with the other Virginia State Parks, by next year, these problems will be rectified. Pets are welcome, but the Virginia State Park system charges an additional $3 per day for pets. About Lake Anna: this is the second largest lake in Virginia and was created to provide a cooling water source for the Lake Anna Nuclear Power Plant. It has become a major recreational area and power boat/jet ski noise is considerable. The park offers a very nice beach/picnic area that can be quite crowded, but it is well patrolled. Life-guards are on duty during the day at the clearly defined beach swimming area. A single boat ramp is heavily used - it would be nice to see a separate launch area for kayaks/canoes. Fishing is good and, for paddlers, there are quiet coves to explore with an abundance of birds - herons, osprey and the occasional bald eagle. Beach use and launch fees are included in the camping charge. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We decided to dry camp with our RV and found a great site with fairly level place for RV. The tent sites are huge with rounded pea gravel, excellent and soft for tents. Even the RV sites we drove past have a spot for a tent or screen porch. Restrooms were very nice and showers are family style on the back side of the comfort station, so a parent could take in several children and not have to have mom and dad each take up a shower. There is an outdoor sink space so tent campers can clean dishes. All in all a great spot and the beach area is super clean. The trail from the campground to the beach is about 1/2 mile through the woods and down a rugged trail. We took it on bicycles, but decided to take the paved road back to the camp. That was almost 2 miles. The visitor center offers gold panning lessons and history (yes, there was gold mined in northern VA) and there is a 1 hour pontoon boat ride ($3) that give a brief history of the area while cruising the shore. Biggest complaint about the sites was that being new, there is little screening from other sites and so it can be barren in spots. The VA reservation system may need some work. We called early in the week and were told all water and electric sites were taken. We got in Thursday and there were MANY sites available. By Saturday noon, there were only 4 W/E sites left, but I wondered how closely these are really monitored. We will definitely be going back, as the grounds are well kept, nature is all around, and it is less than 2 hours from Washington, DC. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a really nice campground. I am not sure what everyone compares a short walk, but about 2 miles to the beech is too far for me walk. I did have a pull through site. They do not assign a spot just tells you to go find one that doesn't have a card hanging up. All w/e sites were taken even though I had prepaid for one, so I had to wait until someone left their site to get into mine. The beech was really nice and had a blast there. We will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a brand new Virginia State campground, which just opened Memorial Day weekend in 2006. Sites 1 to 23 are for tents and have no hookups. Sites 23 through 46 have water and electric. There are several large pull-through sites that could handle the largest class A rig. All the sites are large, level and well separated. Each site has a large table, fire ring and lantern pole. The sites are constructed very well with crushed stone for car and RV and with a large area of pea-gravel for tents or other shelters. The drainage is excellent. We were there during Virginia’s record breaking rainstorms and the site stayed free of standing water. The campsites are only a short walk from Lake Anna, which has a nice clean beach, snack bar, picnic areas, and boat launch. There is a dump station on the campground entrance road that can handle two rigs at the same time. The $29 rate is for water/electric sites. Dry sites are $23. The camping rate includes the State Park admission and use of the beach. This is a beautiful location and we plan to return many times. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

For the price (Coast to Coast), this was okay. But be aware, if you use this place, that the sewer sites (half of the available sites) may not allow you to use all hookups at the same time. We are sitting on a site that has all three hookups, but the water and electricity hookups are on one side of the motorhome about sixty feet away from the sewer hookup on the other side. Interesting. The other caution is that this is a time-share business. We are not here under that compulsion, but if you see the tours office out front, don't get hooked into it. When I went online to try to find a web address to include in this review, I found nothing but awful stories about how badly people had been ripped off by the company that runs this place. If you use it as a stopover, it's a decent place. That's all. We camped here in a Motorhome.

In my opinion, I feel that everyone should petition and Black-List this facility. The owners and managers have locked-in honest campers from multiple states. The one-and-only thing professional about them is "Professional Scam Artists!" My recommendation to anybody and everybody is too stay clear of Spotsylvania, Virginia completely! Their motto should be "Virginia is not for Lover's" in this town. The only "Commonwealth of Virginia" is the wealth of the common "Scam-Artist" at the Wilderness Presidential Resorts!
