Pohick Bay Campground and Park Office

The campsite did not show this on the map while booking, but there is a dumpster right next to it. The picture when clicking on the site conveniently keeps it out of view. People were using it, leaving the doors open, and shining headlights on the site ALL NIGHT LONG. Stay away from campsite number 39. We left a day early, what a huge waste of money - but it was not worth the frustration and lack of sleep. They should remove that campsite spot! Second, none of the rules are enforced, such as quiet hours or alcohol. Not sure what they can do about it, but there was quite a bit of yelling and singing until 1am. The worst of it were the sheer number people driving in and out all hours of the night, there is no light discipline and continuous opening, shutting vehicle doors, beeping cars even through 3am - no care or awareness of others. Might be better off with a day trip, or stay on the other side of the park with the non-electric sites, it looked less crowded.

Great campgrounds, well maintained with very friendly, professional and hospitable staff. Comfort stations are brand new and cleaned daily, camp store has all the essentials and friendly staff. Check out the mini golf (get clubs at the store) course and small hiking trials. Only wish there would be small beach area for the kidos to play in the sand.

Great little campground just a few minutes from town or base. RV’er’s are going to want reservations in advance. We were luck to get a power/water only site at the last minute. Poorly angled space (#40) for backing in a TT, but since the one across was empty, no issues. Comfort stations were nice, clean, and pretty close to all sites. Office staff was always friendly and helpful. Gift shop is stocked with the usual trinkets, shirts, stickers, and a few common use RV items. Playground is nice for the kids, water park in the summer, boat launch, and the disc golf was a nice surprise. Would absolutely stay here again.

Clean bathrooms is a must and they didn't disappoint. Also, the patrons might have been very nice about not bring slobs 😁 Can't say anything about the Gents side tho since I would probably get escorted out 😏 Anyhoo! This is my 'local park' so maybe I'm biased but it's not too big, it's not too small. The shelters are clean and affordable. A grill is attached to reach shelter for your grilling needs. If you can't or don't want to get a shelter, there's plenty of green space to lady out your blanket or hammock.... your own foldable table and camp chairs. I've seen people bring their own little Weber. There's a water park and mini golf within the park and a campground for RVers or the weekend tent enthusiasts. $8 entrance for non Fairfax County residents fyi.

Nice nature campground. Near of Washington DC. Very calm. We went to the big pool outside of the campground. It was perfect. We try to launched our own kayak and paddle, but the fees are to high. Don’t understand that we have to pay for each kayak. For a family of 5 to bring our own kayak was 50$.
