I hiked the Forest Exploration trail. Nice hike! Heavily shaded by beautiful trees. Serene views of the lake.

My daughter’s wedding was nothing short of amazing. Swift Creek Banquet Hall was the perfect venue. My daughter fell in love with the space the moment we walked in to view it. It did not disappoint. Guests all commented on how beautiful it was, a hidden gem most people did not know existed here at Pocahontas State Park. We had a wonderfully blessed day. Rented space for two days to be able to get set up for the wedding the day before. I would definitely recommend this beautiful park to anyone looking for a venue that is fairly priced and beautiful. The ease of booking and the quality of service provided was excellent!

This is our 3rd year going to the Park as a family vacation, all 15-20 people. We had 3 camp sites together & a cabin. We booked the same 3 sites (34,35 & 36). I'd like the buddy sites but they are hard to get. We like these sites because they are nice & level & easier to back your RV in. Our RV's are 24ft & 25ft. The thing we love about this Park is a lot of sites are wooded. And the sites are spaced apart with woods in-between them so you have some privacy between you & your neighbors. The park has 3 swimming pools that are well kept & a boat ramp for canoes & small boats. You can rent canoes, paddle boards & paddle boats. And they have a concession stand with drinks, snacks & ice cream. The park & bath houses are kept clean. And they have separate/ individual shower rooms for more privacy. Each camping loop as a camp host with firewood & ice for sale. And for those that would like more than a tent, they have really large Yurts & 2 types of cabins. The more rustic cabins just have beds with fire pits outside for cooking & no AC, just electric. The larger cabins have full amenities (full kitchen, 2 full bathroom, 3 bedrooms, large open living room/ dinning & kitchen area. And large wrap around deck with views of the lake. It's very private & quite & pets are aloud! Cabins are kept clean too! There is something for everyone!!! We love it! And the staff & Rangers are very friendly & helpful! 💖👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🏕

Dear State of Virginia, You really know how to run state parks and campgrounds. Pocahontas Campground is a beautiful park with a wide range of activities. The trails are clearly marked and accessible. The water park area is spacious and clean. The campground is well-managed and has a very family-oriented atmosphere. The camp host is very friendly and was always busy patrolling. We definitely plan to return again.

A hidden gem! Water and electric provided at site and dump station near entrance. Plenty of nature trails to explore. Fishing and boating. Large pool with a water slide too . All very reasonably priced. Bathhouses and restrooms are well maintained and there are enough that you don't have to stand in line. Cabins and Yurts available for rental as well. Gorgeous views day & night.

The campsites are huge and widely spaced. Everything is clean and new. My hubs and I were able to go into the shower room and have enough space to comfortably take turns as there is a small bench to sit on. Great place to hike, bike, bird watch and nearby lakes for fishing, . Quiet and peaceful for kicking back and enjoying nature. The camp hosts were great (Keith &wife and 3 King Charles cuties). We did see the law enforcement rangers cruise around. Very safe!! Many of the review complaints are about extra people visiting. I will say we saw some folks get in trouble with this while we were there. They are very strict on their guidelines so read them prior to. The rangers were helpful and we enjoyed ourselves. Spring time visit (Mid March) and bugs/flies are just starting, so not too bad.

This park is amazing.Its tucked away is a beautiful county. It offers everything you could want. The park is well kept and people that visit all seem to be courteous to others visiting. The pool area is well maintained and lots of fun. Very nice fun experience.

The biggest state park in Virginia, Pocahontas has many wonderful trails for endless hiking, lots of fun canoeing, nature education, a big swimming pool, holiday events, and much more to discover. So happy I live nearby! Perfect for families and anybody who enjoys the outdoors. You'll never run out of things to do.

Ranger Brown was absolutely incredible! I pulled up to pay my parking fee, never been to the state park, and she was an absolute joy. Bright, spirited, and very informative, I just know the park is lucky to have her. She completely planned my day with great sites to see and hikes to take. I am so appreciative and can’t wait to come back :)

Beautiful, very clean state park. Nice, well spaced sites, quiet. Some information isn't easily available. The maps don't show the lakes so we had to drive around to find them. No distance information to get to things. No idea where the camp host was; no signs, nothing in the campground handouts. An employee cut the same area of grass twice in less than 24 hours near our site, which made no sense. It would be helpful if more roads had posted names. If you can figure things out on your own you'll be set.
