About
Longwood Park is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campground situated on the Grassy Creek arm of John H. Kerr Reservoir in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. The 50,000-acre lake, also known as Buggs Island Lake, extends 39 miles along the Roanoke River with over 800 miles of wooded shoreline spanning Virginia and North Carolina. The campground's 66 sites are nestled among mature trees providing ample shade. Amenities include flush restrooms, hot showers, a dump station, and potable water at individual sites. Select sites offer water and 50-amp electric hookups for RVs. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring, and lantern post. A swimming beach and reservable picnic shelter are available for day use. Maximum RV lengths range from 25 to 45 feet depending on the site, with all sites being back-in configuration. The reservoir is renowned for fishing, with largemouth bass, striped bass, crappie, and flathead catfish among the catches. Twenty-six Wildlife Management Areas surrounding the lake offer hunting opportunities for deer, turkey, quail, and waterfowl with appropriate state licenses. Clarksville is just 10 minutes away for supplies.
