I'm partial to this campground because it's right down the street from my house. It is close to Mattox Creek, so there's water nearby. Plus, there's a marina right next door. It's a nice, scenic drive to get to the campground, past farms and fields. The terrain is level and easy to navigate. (Lucky for me, because I ride my bike around here a lot!) Nearby there's a diner, hardware store, gas station and convenience stores. You're only about nine miles outside of the actual town part of Colonial Beach, so it's an easy drive to get to all the attractions the area has to offer.

My dogs and I love to hike here. It's such a beautiful state park and there's so much to see. Horsehead Cliffs are just breathtaking. The Potomac River views are spectacular. It's not all that far away from Colonial Beach, either. It's straight down Route 3 and the entrance will be on your left.
