Stayed at Goose Point Park for the first time Memorial Day Weekend and it will be the last time. Very disappointed with the closeness of the RV sites (we were in a pop-up camper), the lack of showers in the upper loop, the ongoing problems with the toilets in the upper loop and the lack of water pressure on Sunday. Told a park ranger Saturday the toilets were once again broken and he says "it's after 5pm - there is no one to fix them". Also do not inforce the limit of vehicles per site. The motorhome two sites down had 3 -4 cars lining the narrow path all day and evening. Nothing like staying at a State park where the rangers and attendants keep an eye on things.

We live exactly 2 miles from the lake but we still go camping at least 4 times each year. Our oldest daughter, who turns 4 next week, starts hollering in dec"when we going camping?" The campsites at salt house and horseshoe are wonderful. We try to get the same campsite each time we go because its big enough for the camper, 2 cars, and still enough room for the kids to have room to play. As well as enough room for us to play corn hole. Both campsites are well maintained and if you have any problems the tenants at the guardhouse are quick to fix the issues. There are playgrounds for the kids, and swimming areas (which we use only for the youngest (being one) since I don't let her in the water while out on the boat)

Visited Philpott Lake many times in the past to take advantage of the several sandy "beaches" used for swimming, but this time, we opted to tent camp overnight at Horseshoe Point. Just 3.5 miles up from the more popular Salthouse Branch of Philpott Lake, Horseshoe Point offers standard and electric w/ water hook-up sites,several being right along the lake's edge. We were fortunate enough to score one of the beautiful water's edge sites (non-elec)! Plenty of room for our minivan and 10 person tent. Lots of neat nooks and crannies for the kiddies to "explore," and even a small set of steps leading down to the bank side (@ our particular site). Grills large enough to prepare food for the average size fam (and then some - we have a fam of 6) at one time, bathhouses w/in a short walk of most sites. We stayed at site 20 - WOW! What a gorgeous view to wake up to of the lake, and the bathhouse was just a 30 second walk! Of the two branches mentioned, we found the attendants of Horseshoe Point to be much friendlier than Salthouse Branch. There's not a heck of a lot of privacy at either branch, but having your vehicle parked "in" your site and once your tent is up, they do offer somewhat of a barrier. Large dumpsters on site for disposal of your larger trash. CLEAN beaches, CLEAN park. Two cars max per site, $25/night (tent camping, as of June 2013). You are in the woods, so don't forget your OFF! =) Definitely a hidden jewel and great close by jewel, rather making the 6 hr+ drive to the beach!!

Philpott Lake and state park is a great family lake to go to on a hot summer day. It is never crowded, always clear calm waters and plenty of parking for boat trailers. The best thing about Philpott is it's run by the corp of army engineers and there are no homes built on the lake so the shore line is open around the whole lake. Deepest level runs around 110 feet, there are plenty of coves to explore and go swimming in and because of the low amount of traffic the waters are always calm never choppy from over crowding.

This is a great lake- BIG LAKE, GREAT to take your boat and let the kids tube or knee board. Water is clear and cool. We go every year!

Philpott is our favorite lake to camp at..We take our boat so the kids can kneeboarding and tube.. water is very calm!.. We camp at Goosepoint and have for several years..Not much to do close by, but we love to stay in the campground and relax..very quiet campground.

We love Philpott lake. We prefer it over Smith Mountain lake. It's not congested. Not houses. I can bring my dogs to the campgrounds. The sites are nice and they just built a new bath house near the camper camping!

Stayed here at Goose Point on Philpott Lake and loved it!! Beautiful level sites with mature trees all around to provide the ultimate shade. Not too heavily lighted on the A loop which makes for such a peaceful experience...just us and the stars! Nice and quiet and you can get assistance from the very friendly staff at any time. Biggest word of warning (which they will tell you upon check-in), the entry gate closes at 10pm so if you have a situation and have to leave, make sure to stay outside or be prepared to park outside the gate and walk in. The bathhouse is very clean and the shower stalls nice and roomy. Water pressure in the showers, however, is very strong...almost too strong. We had an amazing time and will definitely return!

This is truly a secret gem in the Collinsville, Martinsville area. the vista from the Dam is breathtaking, I went in September when the leaves were starting to change there was fog and mist on the lake just beautiful. Being from Washington State this was an amazing eperience to compare with our blue lakes and mountains.
