Stayed two nights (6/10-11). We arrived at 5pm after the park rangers had left for the day and proceeded to our reserved camp site. The camp host John (along with his dog Max) dropped by during our setup, gave us our reservation package and provided a great review of the facilities and amenities available. The park offers good walking, hiking, biking and boating opportunities. All RV sites are spacious, well separated, pretty level and include elec & water. The is an excellent dump site on the way out of the park. The bath house was spacious and and very clean. Well off the beaten path, this was a great place for leisurely days and for quiet & star filled nights.

One of VA’s newest parks. Clean, private, great for bikes, hiking, or water rec. Bathrooms are clean and private. Host were super friendly.

This has been one of my favorite state parks in Virginia. Not much close by, but a beautiful drive in and easy to find. Our site was partly shaded and very easy to back in to. All sites have easy access to the bathhouse which is very clean and well taken care of. There are also great hiking trails throughout the park as well as river access. If you are a bird watcher, there are so many great birds and my favorite, the Bob Whites, are all over the park! The entire park did so power for one night and the staff and campiest came by to check on everyone which was nice. We would definitely come back here.

Being a fairly new state park, Powhatan was spotless. Cleanest state park we’ve stayed in. RV sites are nicely spaced with good distance and trees/bushes between. Some sites on a bluff with spotty views of the James River. Train track a mile away on the other side of the river, so expect some train noise, but nothing annoying. Being a distance away, it’s actually quite relaxing. Great canoe launch area for paddling the river. Beautiful park with rangers excited about their keep.

This park is a bit off the beaten track. It is in the country so it is very quiet and peaceful. The camp hosts and park staff are very friendly and helpful. The sites have water and electric so it's on the pricey side especially with no sewer. Everything is clean and new – the RV area has only been open a few months. Most of the sites are surrounded by trees with only a couple out in the open. The sites are all big enough for any size rig; however, due to the narrow, curvy interior roads and deep ditches, some of the sites would be challenging (even impossible) to get into for larger rigs. The sites are long enough but they are not very level so it's hard for big rigs. We sufficed with almost level for our 45 foot motorhome. The sites are gravel and have nice big patio areas. There is also nice spacing between the sites. There is no sewer at the sites but there is a huge (and clean!) dump station that can handle four units at a time. Satellite coverage is only available in a couple of sites due to all the trees. Verizon coverage is good. The bathrooms are individual and clean. Some of them are pretty big too. There are hiking, biking and horse trails. They are shared so be prepared for some horse dung! Also, there are several access points to the river where you can put in a boat. The place really fills up on the weekends but it was quiet during the week. We will definitely return.
