Equestrian Campground

Spent 4 nights there. Stalls are very roomy with stall mats and pole gates. 10x12’ if I had to guess (bigger than standard stalls). Initial shavings included. Clean barn, quiet, nice place. Enjoyed the trails (2 loops in pics, provided by campground) but TONS of other options and distances available. More maps at office. You could ride for days and not see the same trail twice. Campsites are a lit... Spent 4 nights there. Stalls are very roomy with stall mats and pole gates. 10x12’ if I had to guess (bigger than standard stalls). Initial shavings included. Clean barn, quiet, nice place. Enjoyed the trails (2 loops in pics, provided by campground) but TONS of other options and distances available. More maps at office. You could ride for days and not see the same trail twice. Campsites are a little close together and there is not a wash rack, but that’s not a deal breaker. I was impressed that the manure pile was emptied daily, so flies were minimal. Variety of trails- easy, flat to very challenging mountains. Office has a tack store and my kids loved the fridge on the porch offering ice cream bars and cokes on the honor system. :) Recommend!

First time here and very impressed. Not only is the scenery in the park beautiful and well maintained but so are the bathrooms and other buildings etc. Camping lots are spacious and they offer lots of different options. They have several boat ramps, a splash pad for kids, playgrounds, trails, historical markers and more. Not sure what summer is like but it's the end of October and it's quiet a...

Not only is the scenery in the park beautiful and well maintained but so are the bathrooms and other buildings etc. Camping lots are spacious and they offer lots of different options. They have several boat ramps, a splash pad for kids, playgrounds, trails, historical markers and more. Not sure what summer is like but it's the end of October and it's quiet and peaceful! They have wood and ice on site so very convenient. Fire rings are on a cement slab and camping lots have a nice packed gravel base.

I tent camped at Occoneechee State Park in the Atlatl campground Saturday night. I do not recommend tent camping. The highways across from Buggs Island Lake is loud and constant. I barely slept That said the park is beautiful and extremely well maintained. It's perfect for fishing, boating, and horse trail riding ding. Panhandle Trail has what a moderate trail needs.

The highways across from Buggs Island Lake is loud and constant. I barely slept That said the park is beautiful and extremely well maintained. It's perfect for fishing, boating, and horse trail riding ding. Panhandle Trail has what a moderate trail needs. Flat areas, twists, turns, gradients. It is an out and back trail. Young to about 20 year trees. You're in nature but the highway hum noise and Park road noise is also constant until you reach the equestrian center. I was to tired and not in the mood to take the additional 4 miles out to Beaver Pond overlook. Please go to the archery range. It is a quick loop and a few "what tha'?" moments. My favorite is 4. I will stay at a cabin next time and finish the trail.

My friend and I visited Occoneechee as part of the Trail & Paddle Quest offered by Virginia State Parks. We had a great time exploring the well-maintained trails; the water wasn’t crystal clear, but that’s just nature being nature. The plant information along the path made the hike even more interesting, and the overall experience felt like a fun scavenger hunt within the quest. A wonderful stop a...

A wonderful stop along the program – I’d happily come back for another visit!
