Excellent park for day activities, mountain biking, assorted sports and camping. Campsites were a bit overgrown but the bathhouses were really top notch. Our campsite was along a small creek and beneath a rock outcropping making it feel like we traveled out of the DC Metropolitan area. It's a great location for a long weekend camping trip with biking and hiking but not having to travel hours away. Perfect for novice adventurers.
Want to get away from the traffic and have a calm evening. This is the best place to stop by. People spend time BBQing, Fishing. I along with my wife stop for a walk here time to time. Need to explore a little bit more on the Pool side. I think there are timing to use them.
It is a great park. We had our Bible Study Outing today. Love the tables under the trees. Perfect for a hot day like today. Amazing space. We were able to play games, prayed and sang a praise song. We saw ducks and turtles by the lake too. Which my kids loved! Thanks for the pictures Misha ang Mico!
A very big park and a very good for camping. You have plenty of activity to do within the park and there is separate campground where you do your camping with your family. Over the weekends saw school kids camping with their family and was looking so good. Heard from friends that is safe to camp .
Fantastic place, there's skate parks, sports fields and a play area near the lake. The scenery is beautiful around the RV campgrounds
This is a nice outdoor park to visit and also camp at in Reston. There are various fields for sports, picnic areas, as well as areas that seemed were designated for RVs to camp at. The grounds have heated big bathroom buildings which was a big plus when visiting in the freezing cold. The walk around Lake Fairfax is an enjoyable one, especially if you are able to come in the afternoon/sunset. There is plenty of parking to come at anytime, but they do close at dawn it appears.
Stayed a few nights a the campground. Really nice camp hosts. Very friendly. Always walking and checking on things. However it's pretty expensive for not having any hookups at site. Only has electric. Friday night some arguing was going on by the skatepark. Could hear it where we were. The site next to us seemed to think it was ok to have lots of people and vehicles late at night with their headlights on shining right into our RV bedroom. Talking very loudly outside. Saturday night took the dogs walking and for safety reasons we wouldn't go near the skatepark. It was dark and i could hear an illegal dump going on at the two large dumpster that are right there. When I woke Sunday morning, the mess they made was disgusting and so sad. Both dumpsters were filled had been empty, and broken glass and bottles all over the ground. Trash and bags piled next the the dumpster on left. Someone left a beer bottle and carton in our campsite overnight Saturday. Too much garbage laying at some sites. Cups, straws. Just no reason for it. Had to wait to fill water and dump our tanks at the station before leaving. Glad we left when we did. The line grew by the time we were done. We've never had to wait, or see a line form like this before. I think the earlier checkout has something to do with that. It's a nice place, but we won't stay here again.
It was a beautiful day until we saw a family with kids fishing smalls turtles, enjoying, hurting them without caring what happens to them.They were fishing in a bridge with a lot of turtles and this Is what happened, me and my family we where passing by and the moment that we saw the people with the fishing hook stuck in the the turtles mouth that was horrible, the caught 2 turtles and we were able to take the fishing hook out of one of the turtle and the other turtle we couldn’t so we had to cut the fishing hook in an half so we took the turtle to the wildlife rescue shelter. This things should NOT happens they should not allowed fishing in the park, is very sad.
Beautiful & relaxing lake. Perfect place for camping, RV parking, skatepark, hiking trails, grills everywhere, and a water park.
So much to do there! There’s the lake that’s always serene but you might have to go early when there aren’t a lot of people since they can play music pretty loud. There’s many skate boarding ramps. There’s a massive area for camping both tents and RVs. It’s a great location since it’s close to the “city” but far enough to be immersed in nature. They have a nice bathroom area as well as porta-potties scattered around. They’re almost always clean. The camping grounds we’ve used range from being next to someone else’s tent to being pretty far away from the next lot. You have to reserve an area if you plan on spending the night.
