    I am a sucker for outdoors everything, well almost everything (wink). Seriously, this park is a…read morecomplete gem. It's not very large and definitely not your typical park i.e. with tons of seating and a children's play area. This is more of a fishing off the dock and hopping into a boat park. As you enter the you'll notice benches w/ seats - this is such a great area for catching up on your novel. This area will shade you from the scorching sun rays. I enjoyed reading a book and meeting locals. Most people came to fish, run, and for the scenic walk. The benches on the dock/walkway are metal so if you're planning to sit and hang bring something to lay over the metal before you sit - it may burn your bum!

    Shhhh.... let's keep this between you and me... I'm still mesmerized by this quiet, natural, hidden…read morepark. I love that the whole park is sprawled over a marshy creek and there a boardwalk meandering through it. And guess what?? The boardwalk has been extended all the way to the next neighborhood. Now there are two entrances winding around this rustic, reedy park. It's a bird watchers delight... not to mention some other little critters. Today I came on a crisp, cold day to get some fresh air, exercise and then settle on a bench and read, while soaking in nature and and reflect on the constraspects of the current pandemic. Perfect place to gain positive perspective! My favorite park!

    Undoubtedly the best park in town! Unfortunately, there's often no one else there. Hopefully,…read morethat will change and this will help the word get out. Here, you get it all--shade sail covering the adult area with many picnic tables, a separate patio area for adults with chairs, a giant playpen-like structure with a bouncy ball in it and lined with garage tiles for safe falls for younger toddlers. There is a play set for younger kids and for older. I would say about age 3 to about 8 or 10. There is a car on a spring that rocks; a big, spiral slide, straight slights, a fake climbing mountain with seats on top, and tons and tons of options to climb and swing, including a jungle gym and even spiral-style monkey bars (they go in circle, rather than just in a straight line. There's a balance beam, different types of swings, and really everything you could possibly want. All that's missing is the kids, really. Absolutely amazing place. The greatest likelihood to catch other kids to play with is before lunchtime. The only downside is that there is zero shade on the actual playground itself. Very important note: This place is public and at the back of a church parking lot. Turn in right beside the blue library sign, and drive alllll the way back. You cannot see the playground from the street at all, not even upon turning into the lot.

    My girls loved this playground and they are older too. We happened upon a Fall event there when we…read morevisited this time. Everyone was super sweet, the forgot was going, lights were hung, bathrooms were very clean. Great all around.

    Beautiful campground and can accommodate tents all the way up to the big trailers, like my family's…read morebig ol trailer. It is nice, quiet, peaceful and they always have interesting activities for adults and children alike. They also have a free library and sell firewood. The bathrooms are spotless. The employees are by and large very friendly and helpful (with exception of the young female ranger who told my sister in law "You have legs! You can hike, can't you?" She may want to brush up on the Americans with Disabilities Act and learn not to be so, as they say "ableist") I also love their gift shop. They have fun t-shirts, pins, stickers etc. I look forward to coming back--I love this park and Powhatan.

The RV lots are spacious, wooded, and impeccably clean, with gravel pads, picnic tables, and even metal posts for lanterns--great little details that show how well the campground is maintained. We arrived just after 4 PM, which is the cutoff for staffed check-in, but our site was clearly marked with our reservation on the post--smooth and stress-free. We didn't use the restrooms or other facilities, but from what we saw, everything looked clean and well cared for. The campground itself is large, with lots of quiet roads for walking or biking, and big open fields that add to the peaceful atmosphere. Each site has a nice wooded buffer for privacy--we barely noticed other campers even though it looked to be about 60% full on a weekday. We had electric and water hookups at our site. No sewer hookups, but the dump station was easy to access. Rates were very reasonable, especially given the serenity and space you get here. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet, scenic, and well-kept camping experience near Richmond. We'll definitely be back!

My best friend and I went to Pocahontas State Park a few weekends ago to do the Beaver Lake trail. This park is pretty big and they offer a variety of trails to explore. I love that you are able to walk, fish, bike, and even camp here. I just learned that if you are an REI member, you can take your receipt and use it as a payment to enter this park! It's usually $7 to enter with a car, but it was nice to be able to enter with a REI receipt. I've come twice this year and while the trees are not green yet, it's still a lovely park to explore. It's very family-friendly. There is a playground in the space. They also seem to have pools here. You can use All Trails to find a trail you want or ask the park ranger for recs on the map. They also have an information center and museum. If you live in the RVA area, I recommend checking out this park at least once.

You might spot hawks, eagles, or herons. In spring, the path leaving the reservoir is often covered in tiny frogs. They have no self-preservation so watch your step. The park hosts concerts at its amphitheater, including touring acts like Dark Star Orchestra. Snakes are common, especially near water. They're native, and you're trespassing so leave them be. Or text a picture to the VA Snake Hotline (804) 617-7086 to confirm that you don't need to freak out. As for the paw prints in the mud: I've seen them. They look like mountain lion tracks. Officially extinct in Virginia, but the prints say otherwise. Leave no trash. Pack out everything. This place is awesome/wonderful/beautiful!!! Don't mess it up.
