We stayed at Lake Anna State Park in Virginia during the last week in June. The amenities and activities are wonderful.
Lake Anna has fishing, boating, swimming, as well as planned activities. We brought our boat and tent camped. The first day there we went out on the boat for a couple of hours and then went swimming. The "boys" went fishing again later. The next day we were boating for about 6 hours. We were fished out and out of bait. The third day we rested and didn't do much.
The park...Swimming in the lake at a beach setting with a lifeguard. They also sell refreshments and food at a pavilion with the showers and restrooms. Swimming is included with camping entrance. Boating...Large lake. The dock area has picnic tables if you want to eat lunch there, which we did one day: docked, ate and went back out. Boat launch is included with camping. Fishing...from the boat or from a dock. Camping...not a lot of shade, in my opinion. Bring a shelter for shade in the afternoon hours. There are cabins, but they are basic. No A/C and no baths. The bathhouse was clean and there was a laundry room, too. Swimming and boat launch is included with the camp fee.
There was this great little store off of the main road where we got our provisions. It was out on Lawyers Road, but I can't remember the name. I'll get it and add it to here.
Vehicle: 2002 Ford F350
Boat: Grandfather's 14 ft (?) fishing boat with 15 HP motor
