It was my first time camping in the staff at the front gate was very knowledgeable and very patient. They explained exactly how it all worked. The campsite itself was easily navigable and scenic. Not to mention the bathrooms and the showers, which were convenient and very clean. I highly recommend this campsite, especially for any first timers.

We had a nice, large, flat site that was close to the bathroom; however, several other sites had to walk directly through/against our site to reach the bathroom. That is a weird set-up that I've never seen at any other campground and it is not mentioned on the website. The bathhouse was kept very clean but having extremely loud air dryers with campsites so close was sometimes annoying. With so many campsites in one loop, and only a few seeming to be RV only, having only 2 showers and 2 toilets is crazy. When it rained there was absolutely NO drainage on our site. Also, our site was one of only few on the whole loop that didn't include a bear box--which would be nice to have as the bears were out nearly every day we were there. The beach area was also disappointing. The "swimming" area (which wasn't actually deep enough to swim in) was very small. Hiking trails are abundant but also very crowded. Overall it's a beautiful park and location, and the staff was very nice. The weather just wasn't very cooperative while we were there.

The site was great, bathrooms clean, everything well maintained and Marcy the host is one of the nicest and most helpful people you could ever meet.

Lake Powhatan was a great place to take our little ones on their first camping trip! The facilities were clean, staff was super friendly and helpful, and the campground is well maintained. Plenty of trails to explore, close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and NC Arboretum, and close enough to town without the noise or traffic. We will be back!

Overall, we had very good experiences! Staff are helpful and friendly. Restroom and shower room are very clean. Will plan to come back next year. Thank you!
