Bring big rigs up to 95 feet to Fredericksburg / Washington DC South KOA and you’ll have a choice of full-hookup patio sites by the pond with up to 50-amp service, or perfectly shady water and electric sites.

Lake Anna State Park offers 46 pet-friendly campsites available for RVs and tents from March until December. The campsites are divided into those that are site-specific and non-specific. In other words, the 12 non-specific sites are randomly chosen by the staff. When you reserve one of these sites, you know you are going to get a spot, you just will not know the specific details or number of the campsite until you get there. The park has 13 primitive sites while the rest provide 50-amp electric and water hookups.

Amenities at this campground include hot showers and restrooms. Each site has a gravel pad, picnic table, a lantern holder, and a steel fire ring that can be used for campfires and cooking. You will be close to nature trails and recreational facilities. Most sites provide shade under scenic forest views. There is no generator use allowed, and quiet time is observed from 10 PM through 8 AM. You can stay for up to 14 days in a 30-day period, and reservations can be made up to 11 months in advance. Your RV or trailer must not be longer than 60 feet in length.

You can also choose to stay in one of the park’s six camping cabins. These are like a mix of camping and staying in a cabin. These sites are mixed in with the rest of the RV and tent campgrounds and can be reserved up to 11 months in advance just the same. Pets are allowed as long as you keep them supervised and on a leash at all times while you are there. In these wooden structures, you will have two sets of bunk beds, electricity, a ceiling fan, and windows with screens so you can enjoy the weather.

You’ll be able to cook indoors on your camp stove or outdoors on the provided campfire ring that has a grill for cooking. The picnic table provided by the park allows you to eat outdoors or inside although there are no chairs or tables inside. There is also no air conditioning or heat. Be sure to bring your own linens and cooking utensils just as if you were camping in your RV.

If you have never camped in a yurt, now is a good time to try this unique experience. A yurt is a large round wooden shelter covered with thick canvas similar to a circus tent. The park has four that each come with a twin trundle bed and a queen bed that can accommodate up to four people. However, no linens are provided so bring your own sleeping bag and pillows. They also do not allow pets so your furbaby has to miss out on this experience.

Although there is no heat, air conditioning, electricity, or water, you can cook outside on the fire ring or the BBQ grill provided by the park. However, it is good to bring your own portable grill just in case. You’ll have to leave your rig in the lot, but the park provides a cart to pull your belongings along the short trail to the yurt. A community water spigot, restrooms, and showers are nearby. There is also a large picnic table, so you don’t have to balance your food on your lap while you eat. Reservations can be made up to 11 months in advance.

Thinking of spending a night or two indoors? Lake Anna State Park boasts 10 cozy cabins by the eastern edge of the park with two bedrooms. Each cabin can accommodate up to six people with two single beds, a queen-sized bed, and a pullout sofa bed with a queen mattress. The kitchen is fully furnished with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker. You will also find dishes, towels, and cooking utensils. Bring your own seasonings, coffee, dish soap, food, and cooking spray.

The living room/dining room area has a couch, chairs, dining table and six chairs, air conditioning, fireplace, and heat. The deck has a BBQ pit, rocking chairs, and tables for eating outside. You will even have a boat slip provided on the lake. Cabin 10 is ADA-accessible and cabins one through three do not have a lake view. Pets are allowed so go ahead and bring your furbaby in with you. Reservations are needed as these are a popular camping option in the park.

If you have a large family or group of friends with you, there are two lodges at Lake Anna State Park with six bedrooms each that can accommodate up to 16 people. Two of the bedrooms have two sets of bunks, two have two twin beds, and two of them have queen beds. The park also provides bed linens and towels for each person. Although the lodge has heat and air conditioning, you may want to bring a warm comforter with you just in case you get cold.

There are three restrooms in each lodge and the kitchen has everything you need including a toaster, coffee pot, microwave, fridge, and stove. You won’t have to worry about dishes, pots, pans, or utensils either. If you brought your boat, you can park it in the boat dock that comes with the lodge rental. Just be sure to bring food, dish soap, coffee, and spices. Pets are welcome to join you, but they must be restrained and cleaned up after during your stay. Reservations are required.
