Being outdoors and experiencing a screenless moment is rare. You can fish, place various games, make a fire, roast s'more's or weenies, swim in a pool, lay out in the sun, stare at the stars and watch the satellites and planes roll by, say hello to your neighbor, bask in some music, walk around pond and look at the beautiful wildlife.. the options are endless and what you make them. Grab your family and make it a weekend (or longer) they remember. Memorial weekend is so fun. They have candy bingo, karaoke, ice cream socials, pancake breakfasts, and more. The shop is perfect are for your needs if you forget something. They have the best colored shirts and awesome hats. Don't have a camper? No problem, rent a cabin :). You really can't go wrong coming out here. Experience life is a new way. I love this place and we plan to come every year regardless of where we live. We currently travel 4 hours to get here and it's worth it.

We got to rent the smaller boat this time and cruise up and down the Chickahominy River. The owners could not be nicer, they even let my partner borrow their kids fishing pole for the day!

At low tide you can even bring lawn chairs down the stairs to the river and use the makeshift beach to relax.

Thanks Lance and Jennifer for making our first camping trip a success! Chris and Karen.

Endeavor Point is a Paradise! Everything about this place is…read moremagnificent, starting with the hostesses, Sophie and Beth. Communication with both was great from booking to leaving. Located by the Patuxent River with a breathtaking view, Endeavor Point, is a ridden gem with campground, private beaches you can swim, a huge fishing pier, and cottages for rentals. From the moment you step onto the grounds of this place you feel your entire body relaxing. It is an amazing experience! I rented a cottage (Mermaid Folly) for the weekend. The place was very well furnished with a fully equipped kitchen, living and dining room furniture, very comfortable beds with soft linens, clean baths with soft towels. In general, the place was very clean, well decorated, and very functional. What I loved the most about the cottage was the balcony with a fantastic view, sitting outside under the tree close to the water, and listening to the waves breaking by the river shore. I also loved my walks in the mornings and afternoons by the breezy beaches and pier watching people fishing, the sunrising, and the sunset. I strongly recommend Endeavor Point if you want to just relax on a visit during the day, if you like camping overnight, or staying in a very comfortable cottage over the weekend.

That special place where you can getaway from the stresses of life and get back to relaxing with the sounds of nature and the tranquility that being on the water often brings.

Endeavor Point is a place where all are welcome and all we ask is that you respect nature and your fellow people.

I was expecting more companies trying to sell you things on how to grow your herbs. If the government would stay out of this everyone would benefit from each other. Whether from a economic standpoint and for the help it does for others. Now only the government is making the money because they are the only ones who are allowed to sell you the herb and then they have you in the system . The government allows these companies to functionson, so they get the profi. You can't buy seeds for your 4 plants you are allowed to grow. I didn't give it low stars because it really isn't their fault. Maybe next year the government with get off its heiney and get on with what was promised to the voters.

Amenities: -playground:The playground is nice and has enough space for your kids to run around and burn off energy! -General store: this is on the smaller side compared to other campgrounds that I've been to, but they do have your essentials. They sell firewood here and strongly encourage you to use their firewood. -bathhouse: they do have bath houses on the property. They were not in the greatest condition. They do function, but could use some updating. Tent sites -on the website there are different kinds of tent sites that you can purchase. Some have water, some have , etc. -When we checked in to our tent site, we were told the tent options our first come first serve. I didn't really like this because that means there is a chance you're not getting what you paid for and somebody else could get the water and electric when they didn't pay for it so that part wasn't great. -the layout of the tent sites was a little confusing. There were not clear to find spaces for your camp area. -Some of the camp spaces were not labeled so it was hard to understand what your site number was. -the scenery around the area where we camped at was stunning. We are located right by the water and had really nice site lines to see the fall foliage. It was very pretty. Overall, we had a good time bringing in Halloween at this campground. I think there are a couple of things that just need to be updated like the bathhouses and the picnic tables at a lot of their sites were rundown and not in good condition.

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.
