Highly recommend lake Anna state park. 8 was thoroughly impressed by the staff that help direct you to cabins. The park,cabins, bathrooms, and beach are all kept in superb condition. The staff are working tirelessly throughout the day making sure everyone is safe and the ground kept clean. My only downside was the website is not user friendly at all! They could definitely use and upgrade. Otherwise highly recommend if you're looking for a weekend getaway in a cabin or campground. read more

This review is specifically about the Lake Anna State Park, not about the lake itself. We are regulars at this park, but were disappointed with our visit today. It's still the same beautiful park, with nice hiking trails, a public beach ($), fishing, picnic tables, etc. However, today's visit was FAR short of being a relaxing day in nature. We arrived by boat around 9:15 am on a Saturday morning. *There is a lot of ongoing vegetation restoration so many areas near the water that previously had been available for park goers are currently blocked off. *Even by 9:15 am, all of the picnic tables were taken by what appeared to be large groups. Some of those groups were BLARING music -- that we could still hear from the lakeside hiking trails. The swimming area was also PACKED with people. *Also, while the park is usually kept very clean, there were areas where some trash had accumulated. (For instance, there were 3 extra large, empty plastic bottles in the covered structure by the pond near the boat docks). *Finally, there were many (20?) park goers using the area near the boat docks for non-boating activities, making it potentially dangerous as boats and jet skis were coming in and out. There were people swimming in this area, while at the same time some Jet Skiers were teaching beginners how to ride. There was also a man teaching his two toddlers how to fish while sitting on the edge of the docks. Another group was sitting on the edge throwing sticks to their dog that was in the water. We will, of course, return to this state park, but will more likely visit on a weekday. read more

Maybe we got lucky because we visited on a Monday morning when it was cloudy, but the park was fairly empty and we were able to walk the trails with our small group and 2 dogs without running into anyone else. There were areas where my dogs could walk right into the water to cool off and the lake was so clean and clear. There unfortunately was a noticeable amount of trash around the park which is why I had to remove a star rating. The entrance fee during the week is honor system and cash only at the gate. We were able to pay by card at the visitor center since none of us had cash. read more

I wish we had more time to explore the park. We camped here for two nights in lou of sleeping on a pullout couch during a family reunion held at an airbnb elsewhere on the lake. The women who checked us in to our campsite were very polite, helpful, and knowledgable. We bought firewood for $7 a bundle. We enjoyed getting to watch the stars -- the were truly spectacular-- and sit by the warm fire. We were at campsite 17, and it was alright. It was one of only a few available at the time we booked. It is right by the road, as well as a hiking trail, so this is not the site to choose if you value privacy. However, it is located well to hop on a number of hiking trails, all of which were beautiful. It was easy to walk down to the lake. We drove to the bathrooms as needed, which were well kept. read more

Rented a cabin for a few days and stayed here. This is the third largest lake in Virginia and it's so pretty! The Waterfront cabins have amazing lake views, will definitely go for one of those next time! Was close enough to DC to venture in there one day and check out the zoo. Also close enough to the parks along the Potomac, so that was a bonus! The cabins are lovely and feel very private. read more

We really enjoyed our stay, Cabin 2 was quite large and clean, the staff was friendly and helpful. It was great to have our porch shoveled after a snow, and when we couldn't initially get into our cabin, a ranger was there within 5 minutes. The State Park is beautiful in the winter, and we enjoyed our little family stay at the cabin. The cabin itself was very spacious inside, the beds were comfortable, the bathroom was very clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots/pans, silverware, cups etc. The view from the cabin was underwhelming, but it was nice to have rocking chairs on the porch outside for relaxing when it's warm enough. read more

Pros: This is a large and beautiful lake and recreation area, with nice hiking trails as well. Definitely recommend if you need a nice lakeside getaway within a few hours from the DMV area. When I went, the beach was closed due to Covid19 beach closing guidelines, however I walked along the lake and found a sandy/rocky area to sit that was almost like a private beach in itself. If you are familiar with the lake, the area I was in was "Pirates Cove" or the "Children's play area" Clean: This lake itself appears to be quite clear and clean-- I would feel comfortable wading in it or letting my children or pups walk in it. Boating: Lots of motorboats followed by tubes or water-skiers. Definitely a great late to take your boat onto. Relatively calm: The water was pretty flat and calm-- waves were created by the passing boats. Generally dog friendly: Dogs are allowed here, however they must be leashed. The park rangers are very strict about keeping your dog on leash...I was sitting in a remote area with my dog laying next to me, and I had dropped her leash, though she had a leash attached to her collar. A park ranger popped out of a bush, where he had been watching me with binoculars, and informed me that he would fine me if he saw my dog unleashed again. It was a honestly a bit dramatic, but I suppose it is ok....lesson learned here, don't unleash your dogs. The same park ranger kept checking back in on me every 15 minutes or so Picnic table: There are some picnic tables set up near the beach and parking lot area which are a nice place to sit and eat a meal A bit crowded: The lake was a bit crowded, which was somewhat to be expected, as I went on a nice summer weekend. It wasn't overwhelmingly crowded, and you could get your own space so long as you walked a bit. Cheap: It cost $10 to drive into the park and park our car for the day. Bathroom onsite: There is a small indoor bathroom onsite which I appreciated. It is right next to the parking lot. Good parking: There was plenty of room for parking even on a busier day. Nice hiking trails: The hiking trails are well marked and the trails seem well maintained and provide a nice workout and relaxing walking experience. Cons: Bottom is sharp: The bottom of this lake is very full of jagged rocks, I might recommend water shies if you want to wade. A little bit of trash along the shores: My pup's legs got caught in a fishing line a few times-- people seemed to be a bit careless about throwing them out. Not really polluted overall, just some careless things left around. Other: No alcohol in the state park area-- the park rangers approached me and my friend and asked us what we had in our cooler and if there was any alcohol in it... read more

Lake Anna is about an hour and fifteen minutes south of NOVA. They have several activities for day trips, picnicking, hiking, boating to name a few. They also, like other VSPs, offer cabin rentals and camp sites. We rented a two bedroom cabin in the winter. The cabins have fireplaces which is a must for winter! You can choose a lake view, but those cabins go quickly on the online reservation system. We could see the lake from our cabin, but it was far too cold to use. The cabins are pet-friendly; we brought our dog. You have to bring your own linens and towels. The kitchen is lightly stocked with silverware,cups,plates,bowls and some supplies for cooking. There is also a grill and a fire pit outside. In fact, a fresh bundle of wood greets you at the front door of the cabin. There are no TVs but they do have radios. There is a spate of furniture in the main room, including a couch and chairs. We liked it so much we are visiting again for a week this summer and bringing our canoe! read more

This review is specifically for the swimming beach during the COVID-19 pandemic. My family and I wanted to take a visit to a beach to go swimming with our toddler and let her play in the sand. We were very worried about social distancing though, so did a lot of research to see what was a good beach option close to the DC area that wasn't high profile such as Virginia Beach or Ocean City. After some extensive research, we chose Lake Anna State Park. I'm glad we did because we overall had a really great time other than a few snafus. The state park itself is pretty big, with a trailhead, boat launches, camping sites, and multiple options to explore it. It cost $7 to get into the park itself, and then to use the beach, we had to get wrist bands ($3 for adults and $2 for kids over 3) from the snack bar. There was a tiny sign in the parking lot indicating that we had to get wrist bands from the snack bar, but it wasn't very clear. The staff was definitely implementing this policy as they came by to tell us that in order for us to be on the beach and/or in the water, we needed wristbands. Which was fine with us, but it would've been helpful for better signage. The parking lot was surprisingly large with plenty of spots available close to the beach itself so no walking a long way and lugging our stuff. Unfortunately not many people were wearing masks at all and while not super crowded, there were enough people there to make an effort to avoid them and find a place on the sand to pitch our tent and hang out. We went on a Wednesday so it was definitely manageable to do that, but I have read that things can get very busy on weekends and summer days when the weather is nice. If that happens and the parking lot is full, they will close it off until crowds die down. The beach itself was cute and not too small but not overwhelmingly big either. When we stayed in the roped in area, it was very shallow and easy enough to swim with our toddler. That said, I would definitely describe this as more of a family friendly oriented beach for wading/playing in the water but not so much serious swimming. All the staff that we ran into from the entrance booth to the lifeguards to the snack bar staff, were all very cheerful and helpful which was really appreciated. We saw staff continuously patrol, remove trash, be attentive to the public, etc. The next time we come, we would definitely like to check out the hiking trails. read more

Bring cash because they don't take credit cards at the entrance, and Ranger Rick is dying to write tickets for those who don't pay (I always pay). You would think that they would offer season passes or accept electronic payments since almost no one carries (or accepts) cash anymore. They also don't offer discounts to military, veterans, or first responders, so your service doesn't really mean much. read more

Lake Anna State Park - Parks Near Me - Spotsylvania, Virginia

My friends had told me I would absolutely love this beach. They really led me to believe it's the next best thing to being in VA beach or the OBX LOL- yeah um no First of all, you have to pay per car to enter the park, as if its some super exclusive resort or something, it's a freaking park.... I kinda thought they were free? Then, the little sliver of a beach is jam packed with people and the water is stagnate, like a hot swimming pool. And if you want to be ON the beach, guess what? YOU HAVE TO PAY PER PERSON! Insane.... Why you'd pay to park here then pay per person to be on this beach I have no clue. It's nothing special or even beautiful. I have no intention of coming to this 'beach' again read more

They hiked up their prices just to park your car- even for off season- which when we'd go there's hardly anyone there in that time and I guarantee it's costing them more $ to have someone at the booth than what they bring in! used to love to go to the playground and short walks with kids, but now way not worth the price & attendants at booths can either be nice or "power trippy" Very sad- been going to the park for 30 years and it has definitely gone down hill. read more

I stayed here last fall with my 3 boys and dog. We stayed in one of the camping cabins and had most of the area to ourselves. The showers were very private. Take a short walk through the woods to get down to the lake and to the fishing area. We had a wonderful time and plan to go back again. read more

I've been here in the past when my kids were younger. They enjoyed the beach area. You really couldn't swim in the beach area though. You basically get in the water and stand there. When you turn around, you're touching 3 people, at least. The saying "Packed like sardines" really fits here. (Pun intended). Lots of screaming and splashing but it's mainly a kid crowd so, know this. That was probably 7 years ago for my family and today(7/14/18) when I went to Lake Anna, I rounded the curve to check out the park and saw the insanely filled parking area for the beach I just turned around. So glad my kids have grown. But, I came here to go hiking! This is what I enjoy doing and this was a great place for doing it! There are about 8 trail names, each trail approx .5 to .8 miles long. Not much but when you walk them as one big loop, I ended up with 11 miles and 23,019 steps on my fitbit. It did take me a good 4 hours to hike it. I have learned to slow hike in order to save energy so while I could have jogged some of it it or power walked it, I instead chose to slow hike and I rather enjoyed it. Stopping at benches for water and my snacks. It was rather flat trails but there were some hills along the power lines. Some paths had nice woody view of the lake and boaters. I stopped at Picnic area B to check it out and it was o.k..... Sunny and shady areas. Flushing toilets and a playground for the kids. Let me say, people do irritate me like none other with the dog poo left all around the playground. There was so much of it and in this heat it was really smelly. So here's all these toddlers running around at a lake picnic area w/no shoes on and dog poo everywhere. - Also 12 pack of beer cardboard carriers cut open and left behind at the picnic tables. Talk about lazy people. There is a garbage bin not 40 yards away. The building with the restrooms was right next to the garbage bin so that whole place was smelly also.... If I had to picnic there, I'd pray the wind was strong and to the South. I ended up by chance, meeting this survivalist! I talked to this guy for a whole hour at one of the trailheads. He was a retired Navy Seal and as he's 60 some years old now, he Geocatches around the world. (This is what he's saying...I mean who knows really but..) He showed me some of the survival skills he learned and I swear I had so much fun just listening to him. His tips were worth millions. Amazing things you can do to stay alive for one more day if your lost or trapped somewhere. I'll never forget some of these tips and I was so glad to have met him. - In closing here's my all around points of Lake Anna State Park: If your kids are young, the beach may be enjoyed, If your hiking, you should enjoy this location and if you are a boater you're good to go though I'm not sure about the rules in the open water when boating and rafting so I'll say good to go rather lightly.... I don't know why it was $7 to get into the park though. and if you're swimming you have to pay extra...... At Sky Meadows it's only 5 on a weekend. High Bridge State Park is free even.... Anyway, just some notes for everyone but I did enjoy the trails! I'll come back, I'm sure. read more

This place has a lot of potential but sadly I've seen it get worse and worse every year. My experience is just with the "beach area" of the park as I've never wandered anywhere else. This state park is one of the go-to places for people that live in NOVA, so it does get pretty packed in the summer months. There is kind of two sides to where people can swim. There's the "beach area" that has sand and is closed off by rope. This area includes lifeguards and the restrooms are closer. There is a fee starting at 10am for anyone who wants to swim in the beach area. For adults it's $4 and for kids it's $3. Once you pay the fee you're given a wristband that you have to wear the entire time you're swimming. There's another section where you don't have to pay but you run the risk of hurting yourself with rocks that are inside the lake and there's no lifeguard. A lot of people choose to go to that section if they're wanting to grill near the water and be in the shade. You're also allowed to grill directly behind the beach area by the playground. Also, I forgot to mention that there is a $7 fee per car when you enter the state park. Now let's get to why Lake Anna is only getting 3 stars. For starters, the restrooms are absolutely disgusting! They really need to get someone to clean them every couple of hours with the amount of people who go there. They also made everyone get out of the water around 12pm to check wristbands. I've been here many times before and have never had that happen so this must be new. Not only is it inconvenient for EVERYONE to get out of the water but it's totally not fair for people who paid money to swim in this area. I understand that some people don't pay the fee but why punish those who do? We had to wait 10 minutes for the staff to scan the whole beach area to see if people were wearing wristbands. Crazy thing is, they didn't even do a good check! It was more of a scare tactic I guess but it was totally unfair. Now let's talk about these lifeguards. So it was about 4-5 of them today and all of them were huddled in one section for about an hour and a half just talking. They are obviously getting paid to watch the people who are swimming and make sure they are safe however, for this entire time period they were not doing that. What's the point of paying the fee to swim in this area if the lifeguards are busy chatting away? They eventually got it together but it shouldn't have taken that long. This lake truly has potential. It's a big area and I like the fact that it has a beach vibe even though it's just a lake. I also think it's pretty cool that they let you bring your own grills to enjoy your own food near the water. Overall, I just feel like some improvements can be made to make this a 5 star state park! read more

One of our beautiful state parks. I visited this park after a long early drive from home. You never know what your going to see at any of our state parks but I'm slowly visiting them this year. You drive down this long road and are greeted with a beach (for swimming at the end of the road) Apparently you pay for this- we were not there for that. They offer gold panning as well as other events specific for this park. Check the events and plan ahead. There is a snack place just up from the lake. An old playground and train play area for small children. This area desperately needs some repairs. Tree roots are growing all around the playground under the swings and between equipment. A definite hazard for young kids playing and not watching where they are going. Equipment is falling apart. I would almost say it needs replacing versus repainting. Maybe a quick fix to the tree roots would be a few loads of mulch to build up the flooring area. read more

Lake Anna State Park - The lake busy with swimmers, stand up paddle boarders and boats! - Parks Near Me - Spotsylvania, Virginia

After living in VA for 2 years we finally made our first visit here. We came on a weekday so it wasn't terribly busy. I was a little bummed with this they rope it off, and you can only swim so far out, but I suppose I understand. My biggest complaint were there were lots of barking dogs and lots of people smoking that kind of ruined it. We brought hammocks and food for a picnic after swimming and we walked down away from the beach and found a somewhat secluded spot on the shore where we could hang up our hammocks and relax. But while the people to the right of us were a ways away we could strongly smell their cigarettes the entire time and their dogs barked incessantly. Despite this it was a fun place and I would enjoy to come back. Nice "beach" without having to make the 3.5 hr drive to the beach. read more

We visited on Mother's Day. It was busy, but we were able to find a place for a picnic. Pretty view of the lake. However, the restroom was terrible. Filthy, toilet paper all over the floor and the toilet erupted when flushing, spraying water and who knows what else all over. read more

Visiting in the off season: There was a gate guard though at the entrance collecting the five dollar admission fee. The road in is bumpy and long and boring. We drove over to where the visitor center and found it was closed. There is a tiny beach area and the lake was crystal clear. A children's play ground is in the area behind the waterfront and was popular with kids during our visit. There is a short loop nature trail around a pond that is neat. There are longer trails also though we didn't stay very long so we skipped a hike. The restrooms were open however the women's restroom reeked of urine very strongly. Bring your own food as there is really nothing around to get. read more

Update. It's not very clear, based on when you get to the park, you also need to visit the main building near the beach to purchase swim wristbands. Bring cash when you are entering the park, it seems like a burden for them to run a credit card despite the stickers mounted on the window indicating they accept them. Also, you should bring small bills, preferably $1s or $5s as your given scolding comments when you pay with a $20. read more

What a way to kick off the new year! Went to a new year's eve lake house party on Lake Anna. Contrary to popular belief, the water is not THAT warmed by unnatural means, at least not to the point where I want to swim in December/Janary. However, it was definitely warmer than the 35 degree air on NYE, and some silly members of our party decided to take a swim to ring in the new year. Lake Anna, however, is beautiful during the summer. Pretty clean facilities, and not too crowded. read more

This place is wonderful. Great for kids and family to spend a day. You can picnic in the shade of several big tree. Or visit the beach and swimming area for a small fee. It's a bit far from DC for a day trip but definitely worth it. We stayed overnight in Fredericksburg so that we can get here early in the morning when it was not that hot. Turned out to be a great idea. read more

This campground is obviously very new, as the facilities were clean and the layout was different than a lot of other campgrounds. I like how there was one trash area on the way outside the campground, which reduced nasty smells by your campsite! The bathrooms included free showers (they're located to the back of the restrooms, I almost didn't find them). This helps for the impending traffic jam in the mornings of busy weekends, as people can wait away from the restrooms. There were a couple things that were disappointing about this place. One, since the campground is so new, a lot of the trees are new as well. I felt there were very few campsites that seemed "secluded." Hopefully in the next couple years the brush will thicken out and make the individual campsites more private. Also, while it is Lake Anna State Park, the campsites aren't situated even within sight of the lake. It would be nice to be able to camp close to the lake. There is a nice, paved trail that you can take to the lakeshore (about 5 minutes away). Overall, I would recommend this place. The staff was very friendly and it was pretty empty for September. Getaway from the DC hustle and spend a weekend tending to your campfire. read more

If you haven't been to Lake Anna, then you need to go! It's the 2nd largest lake in Virginia. This is more than enough size of a lake for you to come out and have your fun in the water. You can come out here and to boating, fishing, jet-skiing, swimming and whatnots. I came out here to jet-ski and I just had a blast! Of course, I had an idiotic moment that could have been filmed and sent to America's Funniest Videos. Nonetheless, I had fun. Afterwards, you can go boating and then go drooling over the beautiful houses on the lake. People there are friendly and wave as you go by. So, just c'mon out with family and/or friends and just have a relaxing time in Lake Anna. read more

A very beautiful park with lovely hiking trails. Most are wide and flat which would make them excellent for trail running as well. Horse parking, cabins, campgrounds are all available. There's also apparently a pool and other family-friendly things, but I was just there for a hike. Try and make it around sunset and be lakeside, it's simply gorgeous. Careful driving in and out, especially around sunset/dusk as there are lots of deer and the drive in is quite long. Trail maps are available. Parking was $4 on weekdays, $5 on weekends for a standard vehicle. read more

Me and my family went to lake anna since we live 6 miles away from lake anna and it was wonderful

beautiful lake near Richmond. Not far from DC/Northern VA. Took us about an hour and a half to get there from Fairfax area. There are a bunch of lovely homes you can rent but if you want to rent a kayak or pontoon be sure to reserve ahead of time, especially in the summer. We went in mid August and didn't think to do that so they were all booked up. The lake is lovely and very busy. Be careful if you're in a small boat or just floating around. The speed boats and jet skiiers can be a little reckless at times and a lot of times have been drinking. read more

Lake Anna State Park - Perfect night! Our very own expert marshmallow roaster hard at work!! - Parks Near Me - Spotsylvania, Virginia

Very relaxing and plenty of space between campsites. A truly beautiful park. The only disappointment was that the dump station was out of order, which we did not know about until after we had stayed the first night and went to throw our trash away the next morning. We were told it was due to the large amount of rain they've had causing the tank to collapse. The closest campgrounds charged $20-30 to use their dump stations or would not allow it because you did not stay there. The only other option provided was to go to the Flying J at exit 104 ($5 with club card). We opted to stay the second night and while we were packing up to leave the next morning someone from the park came to our site to tell us that the dump station was out of order. read more

We've been 2 this park many times over the years and have really enjoyed it. Nice camp site layouts with pea-gravel tent pads. Excellent camp host, excellent bath/shower facilities. They have a couple easy hiking trails, beach, park programs, playground, and boat ramp. Now, If your coming here to just camp and hang around the campsite or plan 2 use the parks amenities any day except SAT/SUN then please consider this a 5 STAR Campground. However, I believe its only fair 2 review the beach & Water activities at the park since water activities r on the agenda of most who visit. The entire park beach area is a circus during the summer weekends. It is clear the park rangers have given up trying to regulate park enforcment and have been reduced to picking up the trash when instead they should be kicking out the trash. This horde's sprawling congest sidewalks, boat ramps, roads and beach access. FYI... there r no close convienence stores unless youre on the water. No close walmart, menu planning prior 2 arrival is essential. read more

My family rented a log cabin over the 4th of July weekend. What a great way to get away from civilization. No internet, cell phones, cable were accessed here. Walk outside the backyard from the cabin and walk into a woodsy path to the lake. There were neighbors in other cabins nearby, but we never heard them, and were pretty much secluded from any civilization. Don't expect finding restaurants. We all brought a week's worth of food to bbq, because restaurants are at least 30 minutes away from the lake. During the weekend, we took a boat ride tour of the lake. The lake is great for jet-skiing and fishing. My niece and nephew (1 and 5 years old) had a great time learning how to swim in the water. Lake Anna is the place to retreat when you need to just unplug your electronics, and unwind on the water. From DC, Lake Anna is about 2 hours away toward Fredericksburg. From Manassas, the drive was an hour an a half either on Route 15 or 95. read more
