RV rental Occoneechee State Park, VA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

One of the largest state parks in Virginia, Occoneechee boasts around 20 miles of hiking trails that serpentine through dense woods, swooping in close to the lakeshore at times, and then back into the heart of oak, maple, and hardwood groves. Underfoot, hundreds of years of leaves and pine needles crumbled into rich loamy soil muffle the sound of footfalls. The longest trail, called the Panhandle Trail, straddles a narrow neck of land that widens into a peninsula. The trail meanders, sometimes through stands of woods, other times, into soft, wet meadows. Occasionally horseback riders and leashed dogs share the trail. In springtime, fragile snowdrop and crocus flowers peek through a blanket of fallen leaves, embracing the warm sun. Though there are no maintained beaches, there is a small splash pad that young children can use to cool off on a hot summer day. A small horse stable adjacent to the parking lot can be used to hold horses overnight (all riders must have a copy of a negative Coggins report). Access to the lake is mere steps from the parking lots and campgrounds. Three boat ramps are available for the public’s use. Buggs Island Lake is world-famous for it's bass and crappie fishing, known for large, plentiful fish, especially striped and largemouth bass, catfish and crappie. The lake regularly hosts regional and national fishing tournaments. Though this area is surrounded by wilderness, most neighboring parks are designated wilderness management areas, and thus, do not allow camping with an RV.
