Level sites, wooded areas between sites for privacy and shade. Plenty of walking trails. Water (pool) facility was nice. Staff was friendly. Close to Richmond.

The first dozen or so sites are pull throughs and heavily wooded, making a stay here very pleasant. However, some of these first sites are on an incline and getting your RV level can be challenging (especially #1 & #7). These sites are also flanked by roads that often see drivers dangerously exceeding the posted 25 mph, making them hazardous for pedestrians. Further back in the park, sites appear more level. Pocahontas is a big park with a lot of trails, kayak rentals, summer concerts, and a large public pool complex. The staff is friendly and helpful. Would like to see grassy areas cut to hopefully limit ticks! Great place to camp though and we visit when we can.

Largest Virginia state park is a beauty, with good hiking trails. We had a very nice, shaded, paved, pull-through site. Rest rooms fine; laundry facilities ditto. Very friendly staff. Well maintained. WiFi only at a designated spot

The campground is one of the oldest CC camps around. But it is huge and bicycle friendly unless you ride on the main road to the picnic and pool area. The traffic on the weekends is not only heavy but fast and inconsiderate. Dangerous. AT&T service is a spotty 1-bar 5G and at most 2-bar if you are lucky. Slow beans. Sites are numerous and pretty good. Our site #62 was near the end of our loop and we sat a bit up on a hill. Water and electricity. Plenty of sun for the solar, which we didn’t need. Hotter than the blazes. Shower rooms are situated for an easy walk, and for the most part satisfactory, though dated. Large and wide dump station on the way out. A decent state park but not as favorable as nearby more rural Powhatan. Still, we managed to visit Richmond again and the Hollywood Cemetery as well as the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

We enjoyed our stay here. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We didn't go to the pool but it looks like an excellent place for children. The lake was teeming with wildlife and the trails were well marked/well maintained. The facilities were clean and campsites well spaced. Some campsites are unlevel and would be a challenge with an RV. We didn't have any trouble with our small TT.

We were here for 4 nights in May 2023.
Sites are nicely private and well maintained. Park staff were great.
Trails are the main feature of this park. Horse and mountain bike. Close enough to Richmond to visit/tour.

I travelled here with a 35’ 5th wheel, long bed pickup and parked in the site #70, an E/W, PT site for $43/night. Roads and sites were asphalt. This site was easy to get into and was a normal pull through orientation. Some of the sites had significant slopes. Many pull through sites were on the crest of a hill so you would have to be very careful when parking to avoid a tenuous position. Most sites had ample space around and trees between them. It didn’t feel like you were close to neighbors at all. There was a large area for the picnic table and fire pit. It’s a huge campground with loads of sites that would fit any size rig. It was late in the season so the campground was pretty quiet. I had 2 bars 5G with Verizon, lots of OTA channels and no wifi. There were lots of hiking trails and playgrounds in the park which was nice. Grocery stores were only about 15 minutes away. Showers were showing rust at the bottom of wall panels but otherwise the bathhouse was clean. Cabins and buddy sites are also available if you have a group traveling together. I would stay here again.

My family of five visited this campground in our pop-up camper at the end of January 2023. This campground is one of four state parks in VA that is open year-round for camping. They have several shops/offices to buy souvenirs or camp supplies and a visitors center with programming.
During the day, it was in the mid-50s. At night, it was high-20s/low-30s. At night, we ran our furnace on low and were toasty warm in our 3-season sleeping bags.
We stayed at site 122, which was really good for families. There are trees on both sides of the site, so there is privacy on the sides. The bathhouse is on one side, and there is a little path through the trees. The site is a little larger than some of the other sites near the bathhouse, which was good for my children. There is a little hill at the back of the site and a little ditch on the front side, which acted as natural barriers to discourage my toddler from going into the street.
The campground was pretty quiet. As a family of five, we were probably the loudest ones. (Sorry!)
The playground near the bathhouse is pretty nice. There is a Gaga Ball pit there. There is another playground about 1/2 mile away via the trails.
The park itself is nice for "nature bathing" in the winter. There were a lot of hikers and bikers. During the summer, it looks like there is a cool water park.
It's about 35 minutes from Richmond, VA.
