Bassett Goose Point (COE) - This CG is on Philpot Lake about 10 miles outside Bassett off Rte 57 ![]()
Site 18and another 5 miles back on Goose Point Road. The last 5 miles are challenging.. many twists and blind curves - be very careful. Reminds us of the drive into Mountain Stream RV park in Marion, NC. Challenging drive — but WOW is it worth it. We were parked in the premo site #18. Absolutely breathtaking. ![]()
Tight CurveThis COE is just as fabulous as North Bend..if not more so - due to the lake view we had. Sites in Loop C are best for larger RVs. Loop B looks like tents only…very steep and tight turns. Loop A is highest in CG.Some 5th Wheels & Class A’s were up in Loop A - but it had to be tough getting into their spots. We would not fit in this loop.

Fabulous ViewThough Loop C is best for larger RVs, it still has challenging areas too. The road into the loop includes a tight, angled hairpin curve. Inside the loop many turns and access to sites are hindered by the posts installed all along the road - probably to prevent toad parking. Other campers complained about the posts too. $21/night, water, 20/30/50 amp, dump station. Satellite blocked by trees but we did get many local stations with our antenna booster including FOX.
Conclusion - WOW — again I cannot reiterate enough - this CG is beautiful. ![]()
Beach View @ SunsetYou can actually see the lake from every site in this section even ones on the inside of the loop. We love it here and have reservations for mid October - hope the fall colors wait for us. Make reservations through Reserve USA and early - this place is booked every weekend - I made our Oct. reservations in Jan. and this stay in May was mid-week.

Boydton North Bend Park (COE) - This CG is about 6 miles from Boydton ![]()
Site 96 - May 2006 and 100 miles Southeast of Richmond, VA - an easy drive on Rte 4 once you get off I-85 if coming that way. Heavily wooded and lakefront sites throughout the CG - many with W&E (20/30/50 amp) though most of the lakefront sites do not have hook ups.D loop no hooksups - but very wide sites - many with great lake views. ![]()
Site 135 - Oct 2006Paved roads and campsites were hard packed with gravel in spots that looked like it had been there a long time. We had a hard rain one day — our site did not flood. We noticed drainage areas out the back of many sites. Slight slope exists to aid this. We stayed in B loop as this where most of the W&E sites exist. Paved bike trails exist from Loop A to B and C but stop before the bridge to Loop D. Beaches exist in each loop. ![]()
Alone in Loop B (96) Clears out after wkndThe Day Use beach (A) — is particularly nice. No one was there at that beach during our stay - but if we spent the day at the beach - we’d choose this one (i guess campers can utilize the Day Use Beach -we did not ask if there was a rule).
Huge fire pits, tall fixed stone tables and most picnic tables have stone tops and seats
(your not moving those picnic tables — not easily anyway). $20/night water 20/30/50 amp, satellite did not work - but we did get several local stations w/our antenna booster. Dump station.

Bike TrailConclusion - FABULOUS simply FABULOUS. The bike trails are wonderful - just a picture perfect CG —- the park attendants the most friendly folks we have ever met at any CG. I took pics of many sites (39 in total) check them out here. Make reservations through Reserve USA.

Fredericksburg Fredericksburg KOA This KOA is about 8 miles off the interstate - via a narrow windy road.
Very, very unusual for KOAs so there was no road noise. Looks like they are building a new office/recreation hall. Sites were a decent size. Our site was shady but many other Big Rig sites were in full sun. $36/night (KOA Value Card) water, 50 amp, cable, sewer - WiFi thru self-signup - $6 for 24 hour access.
Conclusion - This KOA was OK…if you get a shady site. Parts of the park were really pretty - but the area for Big Rigs looked kinda boring and hot - especially ones entirely in the sun. Fine for overnight if your willing to drive 8 miles off the interstate to get to it.
