About
Horseshoe Point Campground is nestled on the shores of Philpott Lake in the rugged foothills of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Located in a rural and sparsely populated part of Franklin County near the small community of Henry, this US Army Corps of Engineers facility provides a peaceful retreat with 49 campsites. Fifteen sites offer electric (50 amp) and water hookups, while 34 primitive sites cater to those seeking a more rustic experience. Philpott Lake covers 2,900 acres with 100 miles of shoreline. The lake's steep, rocky banks meet beautiful mixed forests of oak, maple, hickory, pine, and cedar. Wildlife is abundant: deer, turkeys, squirrels, raccoons, and a variety of songbirds and waterfowl are commonly seen. The clear water and natural shoreline make it ideal for boating, swimming, and fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, bluegill, crappie, and catfish. The campground includes a swimming beach, boat ramp, dock, picnic shelter, and playground. Many miles of hiking and biking trails surround the lake. The adjacent Fairystone State Park and Fairystone Farms Wildlife Management Area add over 5,300 acres of public recreational lands to explore.
