Goose Point

About

Goose Point Campground occupies a wooded peninsula on Philpott Lake in Patrick County, Virginia. The lake covers 2,900 acres with 100 miles of shoreline, set among steep, rocky banks and mixed forests of oak, maple, hickory, pine, and cedar. Wildlife is abundant: deer, turkeys, squirrels, raccoons, and various songbirds and waterfowl are commonly seen. The campground has 63 sites, 53 of which feature 50-amp electric and water hookups. All sites are back-in with gravel driveways; the longest sites accommodate RVs up to 58 feet, though the access roads are hilly, winding, and narrow, making them challenging for larger rigs. Amenities include flush toilets, hot showers, drinking water, and a dump station. On-site recreation includes a swimming beach, boat ramp, dock, fishing pier, picnic shelter, playground, and amphitheater. Philpott Lake is adjacent to Fairystone State Park and Fairystone Farms Wildlife Management Area, adding over 5,300 acres of public recreational land nearby. Anglers target largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, bluegill, crappie, and catfish. Miles of hiking and biking trails surround the lake.
