Lake Camping Rules of Thumb
Reserve Large Slide Spots Early
If your motorhome has wide pull-out slides or 50-amp power requirements, reserve waterfront spots at Christopher Run 6 months in advance; these are the first to sell out.
Bring Proper Bug and Wildlife Prep
The woods are active. Keep all food locked securely inside your hard-sided vehicle or RV to avoid raccoon and deer foraging. Pack premium tick spray for woodland hiking.
State Park Cabins are Great Compromises
If half of your family hates sleeping in tents, look at the State Park's fully-insulated timber cabins. They feature solid beds, screened porches, and full kitchens.

Selecting Your Ideal Campgrounds Resort
Lake Anna has three distinct, highly maintained camping operations, each offering unique styles:
- Lake Anna State Park Campground: Operated beautifully by the State of Virginia. Highly serene, heavily wooded tent and RV sites (most with water/electric). Premium heated bathhouses with clean tile and hot water. Features 15+ miles of scenic hiking trails, a large lifeguarded swimming beach, a modern visitor center, and a quiet, camper-only boat launch ramp.
- Christopher Run Campground & Resort: A massive, active, family-centric resort layout with 200+ campsites on Zachary Taylor Hwy. Offers complete 30-amp/50-amp electric, water, and sewage RV hookups, concrete launch ramps, wet slips for rent, canoe/kayak rentals, playground zones, and cabin rentals. Perfect for active kids and summer long-stays.
- Rocky Branch Marina & Campground: A local favorite situated off Courthouse Rd. Features beautifully shaded sites stepping right down to the water, plus a fully stocked Marina Camp Store selling live fishing bait, tackle, ice, firewood, beverages, and campfire snacks. Great for active boaters.
Crucial Firewood and Conservation Safeguards
To protect Lake Anna's beautiful hardwood pine and oak forests from devastating pests (most notably the Emerald Ash Borer and Spotted Lanternfly):
- Never Import Outside Wood: Virginia State Parks and commercial campgrounds strictly prohibit bringing firewood across county/state lines.
- Buy Local: Purchase kiln-dried, pesticide-free firewood directly on-site at the camp stores or marinas. It burns cleaner, supports local scouts, and protects the woods.
Trailer Launching and Slip Conveniences
Camping at Lake Anna offers a massive boating shortcut. Campgrounds here feature private, camper-only boat launching ramps. Bypassing public launch queues is a massive advantage on peak weekends.
