RV Park Review - Bull Run Regional Park - Centreville, VA

Check- in date: 06/26/16

Check-out date: 07/01/16

Type of Accommodation: Pull through- full hook up RV site

Price: $245 with Good Sam Membership

***SPECIAL NOTES*** There are two ways to get to Post Office Road. Make sure if you come in on I66 that you take it to Lee Highway 29. DO NOT turn on Compton/658. Compton/658 is very narrow and is difficult for big rigs. We actually made it through but it was very stressful.

Crazy narrow road

Customer Service: The Park Rangers were great. We ended up getting there right as they were closing the park and a young man still escorted us to our spot. We had to check-in with the main office the next morning and it was no problem.

Site: The site was U-shaped from the main road and was covered in gravel. You will need some leveling blocks. The electric hookup was good. There is only one water hook-up so you may need a splitter. There was a picnic table and fire pit, as well. The area dedicated to us was quite large, we could have parked at least 2 more cars on the site with no problems.

U-Shaped Campsite with plenty of room

Amenities: There is plenty of camping and picnic area to enjoy with some wildlife. We got to see a beaver, deer and some geese.

There is a Frisbee Golf course, although the holes seem to be amongst the trees. I don't play but it seemed a little odd to me. They do have showers and restrooms but we did not use them. The dumpster for all trash is in the front of the park and you basically have to drive your trash to it. They did have bins for recycling though which was cool. There is plenty of open grass area to take your dogs to play and do their needed business.They also have a small Waterpark on the grounds which we went to. It was $8.50 a person to get in but is half price if you stay at the campground.

Wifi/Cell Connection: There was no wifi here. We did use our AT&T hotspot and Cricket phone with no problems..

Our favorite things to do in the area: Pretty much everything we did was closer to the DC area which is about 45 minutes or so away from the park. You can details of our trip our earlier post, but here is a quick list:

Atlantis Waterpark
The White House
Lincoln Memorial
Smithsonian Air and Space Musuem - DC Location
Smithsonian Air and Space Museum - Hazy Center

Things we wished we did: 

The Winery at Bull Run is only 8 miles from the campground. Doh! We didn't notice this until we were packed up in our RV and on the road. There is also the site of the Battle of Bull Run nearby.

Favorite places to eat: We ate a place in Old Town Alexandria called Gadsby's Tavern. It had a colonial theme and was very good. It is pricey though so be prepared.

Grocery stores:  We went to a Trader Joe's which was about 10 minutes away

Gas nearby: We did not have to get gas in the RV while we were there but there are plenty of gas stations nearby.

We would recommend this campground and would return.
