Great place to camp, kayak and fish

Great campground at Lake Anna and it’s also near Virginia’s Lake Anna State Park. The staff here at the campground are very friendly, pleasant and very accommodating. A super nice campground with clean bathrooms and showers. There are both kayak and boat launches at the campground . A great place to relax, swim and fish. We enjoyed the campground so much that we are looking forward to returning next year. Thanks, to everyone at Christopher Run campground for a great stay and a awesome good time.

Great for Adults

The campground is pretty big and has a wonderful beach with swim access to the lake. Most of the campers are long time seasonal campers, and a lot even live here. The beach is well maintained and campsites are spacious. Pull through options available. The playground is for kids 5+ and there’s not much to do outside of swimming in the lake for 5 and under. People at the lake were friendly but long term campers seemed to want to have nothing to do with anyone. I’d recommend for adults and teens more so than large families with younger kiddos.

Great campsite off of Lake Anna in Virginia.

We've spent a number of nights tent camping at Christopher Run. The people who manage the site are very nice. The campground and bathrooms are kept clean. The bathrooms are even air-conditioned. Christopher Run has a boat launch as well.

Ok for a quick trip

This was our first trip here. First let me say it was very clean. We came for the last weekend of their season and there were few campers. The area has some pretty water views, nice large Oak, Maple and Poplar trees, and lots of paved area to walk. There is a nice playground for children.

There was only one bathhouse open, however several Porta Johns were scattered throughout the campground. (Not pleasant when it was 30 degrees overnight). The bathrooms were clean.

The shower left SO MUCH to be desired. First, the shower head is on the ceiling which is about 10 feet tall. There is a push button to turn water on (no temp adjustment) and it only allows 36 SECONDS of water before it shuts back off. (I timed it several times after showering) The water is Lukewarm. There are no hooks near the shower area to hang towels, washcloths or a shelf to set your shampoo, soap, etc.

The beach area is small with a concrete ledge next to the water. It didn’t look very safe for small children. There are NO CAMPFIRE RINGS or CHARCOAL GRILLS, except at the cabins. Huge drawback.

There is a very busy main road just across the water that is noisy. You hear traffic late into the night.

If you’re looking to make a short trip or need a quick overnight stay it is pleasant enough, however if you want to get away from it all and enjoy nature I would recommend Lake Anna state park.

We made it work

To be fair, I only went the once but wasn’t impressed. The site was so tiny - barely large enough for my friend and I to each park and set up a tent. We were super close to the road and dump station, so avoid that site (I don’t recall the number). There was also very little privacy between neighboring sites. No established fire ring or fire area. We asked the store attendant if we could just build a fire ring with rocks and he said that was fine. It’s the only time I’ve ever seen a site like this haha. The small beach area is nice enough, but it is tiny. Would definitely recommend Lake Anna State Park over this one; they aren’t too far apart.

Great site for all things!

It’s a great place for one night or a month. They have a general store on site, boat ramp, equipment rentals. The grounds are clean and well kept. They have cabins, RV sites, and good old fashioned sites. They host events every now and then. Price is not bad for the area. Make sure you reserve your spot on the weekend they go fast.

Great for vacations by the lake

Christopher Run Campground is located in the small town of Mineral, Virginia. It is located right on Lake Anna, a beautiful man-made lake. The lake is a great way to relax, spend time with family, or try out some water sports.

I've actually lived on Lake Anna my entire life, so my summers were always filled with great times on the lake. Christopher Run is one of the places that my family loved to go camp. The sites are nice, lake is amazing in the summer time, and the family that runs the place are always helpful.

The campground has canoes that can be rented, places to fish, mini golf, and weekly events. It is a great place for the whole family to enjoy.
