North Bend Park

About

North Bend Park sits on the 50,000-acre John H. Kerr Reservoir, a wooded impoundment stretching 39 miles along the Roanoke River on the Virginia-North Carolina border. As the largest recreation area on Kerr Lake, the park offers over 200 campsites organized into four loops (A, B, C, D), with standard electric sites featuring 30 or 50-amp service and water hookups, plus standard non-electric sites. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, lantern holder, and gravel parking pad. The park provides robust amenities including hot showers, flush toilets, and a dump station. Each camping loop has its own swim beach, and the day-use area offers additional swimming, three boat ramps, an amphitheater, playground, and disc golf course. A 1.5-mile paved bicycle trail winds through the property. The ADA-accessible fishing pier and nearby Tailrace Park with wheelchair-accessible kayak launch make the area welcoming for all visitors. The reservoir is renowned for largemouth bass, striped bass, crappie, and flathead catfish. Hunters can access 26 Wildlife Management Areas around the lake. The Joseph S.J. Tanner II Environmental Education Center operates on weekends Memorial Day through Labor Day about half a mile away. Gas, groceries, and restaurants are available within 2 miles in Boydton and South Hill.
