Kings Dominion Camp Wilderness

My girlfriend had visited this campground with her family a lot as a kid so we planned a last minute trip to tent camp and visit the park. The recent renovation seems to have done wonders for the campground. We had a tent site along the right hand side of the campground. When we arrived, there was someone booked into the site we were assigned and upon returning to the front desk were given another site which worked out great. Staff was very friendly. This is not a backwoods camping experience, there is some noise between the proximity of other people and the occasional (maybe twice a day) train that passes by. It was also very quiet at times and I enjoyed sitting in my chair in the late afternoon sun enjoying the fall weather. We live in a downtown area so noise is not a huge issue to us. The shuttle to the park came swiftly. We wanted a place to camp that was easy, clean and right near the park. This is a great place for families and couples alike.

Great campground. dont go for a back woods experience cause thats not what this campground is made for. only complaints are that the lights in the bathroom will shut off randomly if you take a long time and it gets noisy as you can see and hear the park and the rollercoaster rumbles. The staff also did not know much info if you had a question as we asked 2 different people a question and got two different answers. The campground is great if you have kids and the sites are big though. The campground has a store and a pool along with a few sports courts such as volley ball also has a nice common room with furniture if it gets to hot.

Clean bathroom and great camp store. You can’t walk through the campground to get to Kings Dominion. You have to walk along the road (~20 minutes to ticket entrance). Walking probably took the same time as the shuttle, since you have to wait for the shuttle to leave the campground. A loud train might wake you up in the morning. The campground is almost purely pine trees. Most people were staying in RV sites. The staff at the registration desk (in the camp store) was slow but friendly and helpful. They said if we didn’t like our assigned campsite we could move if we let them know.

2 stars for the convenience to the park but other then that this place is really disappointing.
Our site was set up against a beautiful barbwire fence and what looked like all the transformers used to run the park. So when you’re not listening to cars whiz by on the highway 50ft away you can hear the constant hum of a couple thousand watts at work.
My biggest complaint was that our neighbors on both sides were raging it until about 4:30am and this establishment has quiet hours but no one came to say anything. Now Im no damsel in distress but Im also not getting out of my tent at 3am in my PJ’s to chastise a bunch of hammered adults that can’t respect normal party hours.
The shuttle should be awesome but it makes too many stops causing the 10 min ride to become a 45min extravaganza. We actually walked from the park back to the campsite at the end of the night and beat the shuttle back.
Final straw was that the bathrooms were pretty cruddy. Like never scrubbed ever cruddy.
I will never go back.

Nice campground. Clean facilities. Site is gravel but large. Very friendly staff and good Sam discount! Was a great stopover and time to visit Kings Dominion, has a free shuttle runs on half hour.
