All 50 Amps are full but the problem is driving. The roads are so washed out, it feels like my class A will tip over! I was trying to avoid most of the ruts but couldn't when turning. After finding no 50 Amp full hookup in loop A, I decided to try Loop C, bad decision. Roads are just as bad, if not worse, spots are small with drop offs in almost every spot. I felt the coach if not put in perfectly would slide down the drop off at almost every site. Most sites are closed off with black bags covering the pedestal. Finally decided to go back to A and take what I can. Got a 30 Amp no sewer site. Power is good for 30 amps 123 volts. Water is low pressure 40 PSI. Running my generator as I type this as it is 90 degrees and 1 AC in my motorhome won't cut it. Sprint FMCA Hotspot had 1 bar but no real connection. Turned on my roof mounted booster and got 25Mbps D/L and 6Mbps U/L Verizon phones 6Mbps D/L. Very shaded spots so no satellite TV (at least in my spot).

There are also some obstacles you need to watch out for. There was a large tree stump that made backing into our spot somewhat difficult.Campground Notes: About half the sites did not have working electric (bagged pedestals). Upcharge $3/day for 50 amp electric. Campground stated they are working on upgrading electric during this off-season (winter 2020). We had low water pressure when we arrived (<30 psi) and then the water turned off the next day for a few hours. After the water turned back on, it was better (40psi). Site #: A55Site Rating (1-5): 2Site Notes: Large stump you need to watch out for when backing in. Site had picnic table but no fire pit (neighboring sites had fire pits). Sewer was very far back in the site so we ended up very close to neighbors even though it was a fairly large site. Lots of acorns falling very loudly on RV constantly due to time of year we were staying there. Decent amount of trash in site when we arrived.Amenity Rating (1-5): 3Amenity Notes: Laundry was unusable (2 washers, 1 broken dryer and 1 dryer that ate quarters). Path and hiking trails around lake was nice but many seemed to be closed or just not maintained. Nice swim beach on lake. Good fishing in lake as well. Decent sized playground but closed for Covid. Pool looked nice but was closed for season. Didn’t use mini-golf since they weren’t lending out balls or clubs due to Covid.Reason for camping here: Location, on our way south avoiding 95 corridor.Miscellaneous Notes: Percival Island - Nice hiking/biking trail in Lynchburg on James River about 20 minutes away. Walmart – 26 minutes away. Food Lion – 12 minutes away.Dates Stayed: 10/16-25Price Paid: $27, free with Thousand Trails membership + $3/day for 50 amp electricWeather: Beautiful, unseasonably warm weather. Clear and mid-70s to low 80sVerizon Cell Quality**: 2 bars with antenna on hotspot. Averaged 11.3Mb/s down and 1.9Mb/s up. Reading other reviews we thought we were going to be in a dead zone so that was pleasantly surprising. Signal was spotty throughout the campground loop. C loop was probably the best but there was no service down at the swimming beach.Mail: We didn’t attempt to receive a package during our stay.* For reference we are pulling a 33’ long Jayco travel trailer with a 2016 F350 Crew Cab Short Bed 4x4 which is 22’ with hitch giving us a total length of 55’. **For reference we have two Google Pixel 2 XL on Verizon ‘Play More” unlimited data plans. For data we have an Inseego 8800L on Verizon’s expired prepaid unlimited hotspot plan. In areas of low signal we use a Netgear 6000450 MIMO antenna.

But that’s where the positives end.Here are the negatives: First, we got emails fromthousand trails and the actual park. Both would say different things. We got an email from both the day before that said to call to check in. When we called, the person said to check in when we get there. Thanks for that mix messaging.Then we get there nice and early ready to relax after a day of driving and things got worse. The person who checked us in didn’t have a mask on. She was nice enough. Told us to go to the B sites and pick any of them that are not covered; we went to do that and they were all either filled or covered. We had to go all the way back to the check on where the person was no where to be found. Someone as got there and let another group checking in know that if you don’t find one to keep on checking in A and C. Useful info. She also shared a lot of other info the other person failed to share.Then we went searching for a site and found nothing in A. The roads were terrible. Not the type of roads to be driving on endlessly looking for a spot. Then we spotted the person that checked us in originally and she was burning leaves basically in the middle of the road. We had to almost drive through fire!We finally found a spot and it was the most unlevel site we have ever seen. It took us 30 minutes to get level and even then we weren’t very level. The spots were gravel but mostly just mud. The layout of our site made it impossible to hook up to the sewer. We just skipped it. Highly recommend skipping this place. Boondocking in a parking lot is 100% better.

Sadly many were unavailable due to electrical issues. We ended up in site B1 and it was level with lots of tree shade. Beautiful lake and excellent walking/running trail. My AT&T cell phone had 2 bars and the hotspot worked ok. There was no wifi available anywhere in the park. Clean bathrooms and showers. I would like to recognize the excellent staff at this park. Our original reservation was for 2 weeks and we had to take our RV into the shop for service. The staff allowed us to leave for a week while also keeping our original site. Wow! Then the general manager extended us for 2 extra days on short notice due to flash flood warnings at our next stop in North Carolina. Thank you Joyce! We were also approached on 2 separate occasions by staff members inside the park and given the new gate code (it changes every 2 weeks.) Thank you so much Lynchburg team for the excellent customer service! TIP: There is an RV friendly gas station about 1 mile from the park called Lester's Market/LFM fuel. Our 28 foot class A motorhome with tow car had no issues getting in and out successfully.

The sites are literally butt to butt and very close side to side as well. The sites were rough and not level. Muddy and some gravel. There was no grass to potty our dogs. There was a fire pit full of pieces of plywood. There was another spot that was heaped full of ash and junk, from where the fire pit had been. We had seen reviews saying the AT&T was best in the C loop. We hoped that was true because it was intermittent and no upload at all. My husband works full time on the road and good internet is vital. We have the best signal booster we could find because we HAVE to have internet. We parked our rig, and immediately jumped in the Jeep to look at other sites, without 50 amp, in hopes of getting a better signal. As we started down the road, (we were 4 sites from the beginning of the loop), we ran across problems. We couldn’t possibly get our class A any further down these roads. They are rutted so badly, it was like off roading in our Jeep. There were very deep ruts running all the way across the road. All up and down the roads. We headed to Loop C hoping for good internet and better roads. The internet was worse! The roads were just as bad. We then realized that the hurricane coming up the coast was going to dump a bunch of rain here, which could cause the ruts to worsen and maybe even flood. We immediately got online, with our terrible internet and searched for a new place to stay. We hated to have to do this as we were staying here for free, and we were getting our moneys worth. So, Sunday morning, as we were heading out, someone was passing around a petition to send to TT to get the roads fixed. We didn’t see the basketball courts or bldgs. However the tennis courts were a wreck. We made a video of the roads before we left. We may download a bit of that if we can later. Anyway. Don’t come to this park. It’s a shame. The location is really nice. TT is letting this one fall apart.

I know the campground cannot help the temperatures, but when I think out of time at this place, I mostly think about how hot it was. We were there July 18-21, and the heat index was 104-106. We have two small kids, so it was a lot of camper time, which is tough.

We were there July 18-21, and the heat index was 104-106. We have two small kids, so it was a lot of camper time, which is tough. We chose a site in the C loop, and our site was very well shaded by trees, and it felt very private. The site was also spacious. The bath house was very clean. The pool looks beautiful from afar, but once we were in it, I realized that it could use a good, deep cleaning. There were rocks on the bottom and many bugs floating around. The lake (pond) is a decent size, but it’s not very practical for swimming or even sitting on the “beach.” The “beach” is dirt, not sand. The employees have added some tables and chairs and tried to make it look nice, but it’s muddy and dirty, which is tough to overcome. It is a little bit of a drive to major stores or amenities, but it is beautiful farm land and scenery. The location is great for visiting historic sites, and I look forward to returning when the weather is more agreeable!

Stayed 4 nights as part of our Thousand Trails membership. We wanted 50amp (instead of 30amp) so we paid a nightly fee of $3 to have them unlock a power box with 50amp.

Water pressure was pretty weak at a max 38psi.It's a bit of a drive to get here and depending on which direction you approach from you'll end up navigating some smaller farm roads with dips and turns. But the approach into the campground is beautiful and the views of the lake are nice.We ended up finding a somewhat level spot with some shade and room to setup the hammocks. Most sites are dirt and very unlevel. Our neighbors told us that the campground put some gravel on our site the morning we arrived after the last customer had difficultly leaving with so much mud after a rainstorm.

Driving to the preserve was good, they are located away from the town's most times. Check in was quick and with a map we drove around with some guidance from the ranger as to a place to start the search for spot. As we drove around the C loop there were quite a few annual folks in what seemed to be the better spots. Some of the sites and roads were eroded from rain washing down the hills in the park. C loop was quite hilly with some good size gullies to go through,, not impassable but good way to find stuff on the floor of your unit kinda stuff. After driving around pulling a 30 ft, loaded to the gills Airstream we decided on site C-1.. just off the lake and close to the entrance which created a bit more dust on the truck before the rain that day. Site was equipped with Sewer port, water spicket, and 30 amp elec connection that worked. One of the major issues noticed when walking around was a lot of the sites need to have some additional gravel added to help level the site as you can see from the picture we had quite a stack of stuff used to get level. This place has nice trails for bikes and walking around the lake, sandy beach area, lots of kids activities on site LP i believe and a friendly staff. one issues was the gate code.. We were given a gate code when arriving on tue afternoon. We had ventured out get some supplies and came back to gate.. I got out to input gate code and it was not working.. tried a couple more times and no luck.. got on the microphone and called ranger and was informed the code had been changed. got new code and good to go.. Our t-moblie as good and especially with booster turned on and our ATT hot spot worked good as well. Overall this is a nice campground, not super, not a crap hole either. We would stay here again.

This the other place we stay in VA to visit family. If you want cell reception and do not have a booster then you will definitely want to stay in C1-C8, C37-C60, or in the C90's... you'll have to check your phone; it's really weird how there is a line right through C loop that seems to have decent service.

If you want cell reception and do not have a booster then you will definitely want to stay in C1-C8, C37-C60, or in the C90's... you'll have to check your phone; it's really weird how there is a line right through C loop that seems to have decent service. Not great, but good enough. Streaming might work for you, but sometimes the reception drops right off to minimum. All of C loop seems to be fine for voice on Verizon.Loops A & B are dead zones. I mean dead like Orlando D loop. You might get voice or text service, but don't count on it.The roads are often times not good, but they are gravel roads built on the side of a hill, so you'll get that. The park does try to keep them groomed, but you can only do so much with gravel on a hill.The large pond/small lake is pretty and the pool looks really nice and is usually busy during the summer. They have a store with snacks and such. The rec hall is huge but usually empty. The laundry facilities are sub-par and we usually go to a local place in town. Like all TT parks I've visited, the staff are friendly and helpful. As always, if you don't like your spot, you can ask to move.This is a get-away-from-it-all park with lots of seasonal people, so don't look for much entertainment outside of your site unless you're willing to spend some quality driving time. This is not a complaint, because there are times when we definitely want to be away from it all. The Food Lion is OK, so we' don't mind the occasional run into town for supplies.If you NEED great cell service, keep going as this whole area needs better coverage.Unless your neighbor is blaring their music, the place is quiet (except for the occasional cow in the nearby pasture), and at night get's pretty close to pitch black.

We pulled in late and called to let this 1000 Trails property know we were having repairs done on our TC and would be late. Policy is gate locks at 10.

We arrived around 8ish and the lady at the gate was extremely kind and said they typically wait till 11 but even then, they let you park on tennis courts with power until morning. I’m certain this is to not disturb other guests. As for the property... very old and not well maintained. The setting is lovely, much what we are used to in our SE TN camping environment, the sites themselves could use some love. There was power and water, a picnic table, and grill. A small fire pit (no ring) was also present. Bathroom and showers were also on site if you need that. There is a small lake (I’m guessing manmade) with a designated swimming area. The tennis courts are in disrepair as were most of the things we could visually see. The dump station had only one working space, no trash can to dispose of gloves etc after dumping, and honestly just not very clean. This was the second of these 1000 Trails properties we have tried (free membership) and have a few more scheduled during a long cross country trip, but what I have seen would probably discourage me from ever renewing. That being said, we are used to dry camping not RV parks so this may be typical. If so, then the pretty setting may be enough for you. We did have some cell service and spotty internet. Actually turned on the TV just to see if anything and there was quite good reception. This place is a distance from main roads. Getting there from the Salem area took us around 1 1/2 hours in our TC. Roads were ok coming in. Leaving for the VA coast however was awful. Only way over there (for probably first 2 hours) were narrow country roads with an occasional divided highway (beautiful for the ride) but when 18 wheelers come flying through and you have to pull in your mirrors and hug the tiny shoulder....we’ll just bear that in mind. Happy travels!

Lake is nice and the trail around it is great for an afternoon stroll.

I love it here quiet , friendly campground. Bathrooms were clean which for me is a plus . Had fire pit, grill and beautiful new Picnic table . We parked on back row. Wouldn’t even know we had any neighbors. I would come back again.

We very much enjoyed the heavily wooded sites and well maintained common areas. The campground offered some of the most private sites we've found in a commercial campground. We were in loop C which was very heavily wooded, and luckily, the place was nowhere near full when we visited. Other than on the weekend, we basically felt like we had the park to ourselves. But even if you're there during high season, the sites offer enough space and there are enough trees that you won't feel like you're on top of your neighbors.Site quality here is very mixed. Our site was large, relatively level, and the utilities were well placed (Note: they only offer 30 amp service). However, many other sites were heavily sloped and/or much smaller. More problematic was the fact that numerous sites had electric boxes that were covered with plastic - indicating that they were out of order. We also noticed there was a lot of trash left in our grill. It seems like the folks who work there work hard to maintain the large common areas, but the campsites themselves are often neglected. Hopefully this was all just because we were there at the start of the season and not the sign of a larger problem. Other than that one issue, we thought this campground was really nice. The staff was friendly, the location was decent, and the campsites were spacious. We would stay here again.

We absolutely loved the Lynchburg RV Resort. Ok, one small downside. Poor connectivity at the hotspot. Otherwise, it was great.

The wash houses were immaculate and the grounds looked like a golf course. There was a small pond, a rec room, a pool, a Jacuzzi, tennis courts, a park for kids, a beach with canoeing, and much more. We wish we could give it a perfect score, but the internet was problematic. If they invested in a business center with a strong internet connection it would be perfect.
