Picture Lake Campground

Being here for 3 years while stationed at Fort Lee has been one of the best decisions we made. All of the staff are extremely helpful & friendly. They’ve always been so accommodating. There is a huge sense of community here & we have made lifelong friends. We are sad to move on but the Army has other plans for us. We hope to return as soon as we can. We will truly miss out PLCG Family.

Everyone who works here has been friendly, helpful and nice! The short term spots are great--they are paved, pretty level and some of them have a water view. The pool looks nice and is right next to the water making it feel very open. When I stayed it wasn't yet open for the season. The laundry room, while functional had a truly awful smell, of mold and mildew I assume. Washing there did make my clothes smell funny but I assume that's because of the well water, as the same smell sometimes happened during my shower. I don't suppose there's much they can do about that. Unfortunately the nearest public laundromat looked even worse. It's a small rural town.

Looks like a squatters village, people have been here long enough to throw tarp lean-to's up and throw down carpets. Lock in the 4 wheel drive to get to the overflowing trash dumpsters all the way in the back. Chug-holes? Yeah they've got big ones!!! If the oversized speed bumps up front didn't knock all your stuff off the shelves the chug-holes will finish that off. Peaceful??? Hard pass on that!!! Drag strip close enough to rattle the dust of the drapes, and they run everything from chainsaws to funny cars on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Spacious lots??? Not so much. Level parking??? For God's sake no!!! Bring extra cinder blocks!!! One side will need to be raised 6" while your steps on the other side drag the dirt. Hook ups??? Yeah those need a lot of improvement. Price??? I've paid less at KOA's and gotten more amenities. There's no grocery stores or choices for restaurants around either. It ain't good folks. The owner is expanding, but not making improvements.

Update: the owner Ryan made it right for my husband. Upon hearing of our site he had the office move us to a more permanent space, it is larger and has a lovely concrete pad. Now we feel appreciated and find value in our stay. Thank you We were looking for a long term ( 2 months) spot for my husband to use while working. Got call back from Picture Lake Campground that they have long term spot for $600 month Thought it was going to be at least a decent spot as they have semi-permanent campers there. We arrived and drove to the postage stamp smallest site we have ever utilized. Literally the person beside us has their power box and sewer hook up 2 feet from our door.

We had a great time! Very clean, everyone was very nice. The view of the track, Lake and sunsets were beautiful. Met some really nice people. The pool was clean although we didn't swim. We were there for races. The bathrooms were kept clean.. The only thing i would say negative is there was no soap in ladies room, and hand dryer didn't work all weekend. It was very quiet at night. They keep their wood in a shed so it stays dry. I would definitely return! Don't forget your fishing poles!
