What campers say

Horseshoe Point Park is a well-kept Corps-managed campground on Lake Philpott with sandy swim areas, a boat launch, and scenic mountain views. Sites are generally spacious with tent pads, picnic tables, fire rings and showers in the restrooms. The water is clear and good for kayaking and fishing, and the park accepts the federal annual pass. Practical tradeoffs: camping is seasonal (May–Sept for reservations), some sites sit on steep overlooks that make lake access difficult, tent stakes can be hard to drive, and restrooms or water hookups may require a short walk. Watch posted length limits and narrow approach lanes for RVs.

📖 About This Campground

Horseshoe Point Campground is nestled on the shores of Philpott Lake in the rugged foothills of Virgina's Blue Ridge Mountains. The park is located in a rural and sparsely populated part of Franklin County near the small community of Henry. Philpott Lake's clear water and natural shoreline make it a unique place for visitors to enjoy boating, fishing, hiking, picnicking and camping. The park offers both camping and day-use facilities: 15 campsites with electric and water hookups are available, as well as 34 primitive sites without hookups. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water and a dump station. For additional family-friendly entertainment, a beach, boat ramp, dock, picnic shelter and playground are also on-site. Philpott Lake covers 2,900 acres and has 100 miles of shoreline. The lake's steep, rocky banks meet beautiful mixed forests of oak, maple, hickory, pine and cedar. Wildlife is abundant throughout the area: Deer, turkeys, squirrels, raccoons, and a variety of songbirds and waterfowl are commonly viewed. The lake provides visitors with great boating and swimming opportunities. Anglers enjoy fishing for large and smallmouth bass, walleye, bluegill, crappie and catfish. Many miles of hiking and biking trails surround Philpott Lake, allowing visitors to get out and explore this scenic area.
