Lake Anna State Park, VA

Thanks Nerak. Looks like a clear shot on 15 all the way. To Va 3.
Thanks for your help. Getting ideas and info from RV'ers throughout the country is what this forum is all about.

You do not go on 15 thru Orange, you will be getting off on Rt. 3 to get on to 522 south near Culpeper so you do not go as far as Orange. If you ever do go thru Orange, we have gone under that bridge with no problem. Stay on 522, follow the VA State Park directions and you will be just fine.

I failed to mention ......before you ever get to Dickinson's store, you will see another sign for a turn to Lake Anna State Park. Do not turn left until you get to Dickinson's Store. That other route is very narrow with multiple turns and you sure don't want to be lost in the dark! The directions from Dickinson's store are also the ones that the park uses to guide their guests safely. It's the best way for you to enter.

Thanks for the heads up. It appears there are no low clearances from Frederick , MD to Cullpeper. I do see a low clearance on 150 thru Orange,VA

We live in the area and love Lake Anna. You said you will be coming in on 15/29 . You will exit onto Rte. 3 in Culpeper. At the end of the ramp, make a left turn and travel to the stop light where you will make a right turn. This is 522 south that will take you to the Lake Anna area. It's a bit of a hike so don't panic. Once you start crossing water you will soon see Dickinson's Store on your left. you Turn left at the store (208). Travel 8 miles, cross a bridge. At 601 turn left (Lawyers Road). Go 3 miles and the park will be on your left. There are some narrow roads but no bridges that will present any problems. Just take is slow when you get on the narrow roads and watch for deer! The campground is very nice and quiet. Enjoy your visit!

Not sure how complete this website is, but here you go....

I come to Lake Anna from the SW so I'm not familiar with the roads in from your direction. Route 208 is a good road but is undergoing some construction just north of the turn to the Park. The road into the park is a "small road" for sure. Large RV's travel it all the time but it's a rather narrow road.
The state park is a very nice facility. The campground was just opened in 2007 so it's still fairly new and clean.

Thanks for the response. I'm not bothered by small entry roads at all. But I am leery of following my GPS down a small narrow dirt road or coming across a 12'high overpass. There is a good chance I'll be traveling at night.
