Knowledgeable rangers, grounds beautifully kept. This is a good reminder of our countries past history, one that tore us apart. It's also reminds us that sometimes surrendering you believes can rebuild a country. Would recommend.

Great place to stop and experience some very important history. Spent about an hour and half walking the grounds visiting the museums and attending the 15 min movie. Plenty of parking on my visit which was Sunday afternoon. Well done park. Entrance is free.

Rangers that know their subject. Well maintained grounds. Excellent restoration of the buildings. Allow yourself time to walk the grounds and take in the story. Open every day 9 to 5, with the exception of the usual holidays.

We visited for 4 hours and still did not see everything. The rangers and Historical interpreter were very knowledgeable and informative. It is hard to believe we were given the privilege of learning from such talented and passionate individuals at this beautiful park… even harder to believe they don’t charge an entry fee.

The Appomattox national historical park is breathtaking early in the morning, teeming with wildlife throughout the year, and droves of wildflower fields that are a feast for the eyes

This park exceeded our expectations. It’s incredible to see how much of the original village has been preserved. Walking through the McLean House where Robert E. Lee surrendered was a powerful experience. It’s an amazing place to connect with the past and reflect on the events that shaped our nation.

Abe's living history presentation on the porch of the Clover Hill Tavern today was simply fabulous, easily the best such thing I've ever heard, and I've heard many.

Wonderful small museum. You'll need at least an hour for a quick visit. They charged us $13, but it's more like a $7.50 museum. Just saying

A great learning experience. It's a walk thru museum with a lot to see. They have a gift shop. The bathrooms were clean.

Kinda what you would expect at a museum. Nice layout, guys up front were friendly and enthusiastic.

Great stop for adults.. but if you have kids, there is little to do to entertain them while you soak in the info. I had to take pictures of everything so I could catch up later. My small ones were antsy to leave, but my middle schooler was engaged. The outside cabin and grounds were fun! We saw cotton and tobacco plants and a cabin from the era. Would love to see this lovely place incorporate more for smaller minds. Thank you for educating us!! We appreciate you!

If you visit here - check out the multi site discount to visit this location plus the two sites in Richmond, too: the Confederate White House and Tredegar Museum. A small site but very informative - to include General Lee's sword and uniform that he wore to the surrender. There is a gift shop and free public WiFi - no theater movie experience but a short video on loop. Staff were friendly and helpful, too..!

This museum packs a punch. A number of original pieces making this a must see in Appomattox. I won't spoil it but Lee's uniform and sword at the surrender are just a few items here. Don't be turned off by the admission fee, you'll be glad to took the time.

This museum has the most impressive collection of artifacts from the Civil War that I have ever seen!!! From General Lee's actual sword, officer & soldier uniforms from both sides of the conflict, and even ACTUAL battle flags & documents from different units throughout the war!!! The museum is extremely well laid out & clean, the staff friendly, and everything well kept. A definite must see for any historian, history buff, military history scholar... really just everybody!!!!!! Extremely informative about the Civil War, what led up to it, it's impact on everyone involved, the happenings after the war, & it's impact on life today!!!

Great lake for paddling around on and fishing. First time fishing this lake and I was pretty happy with it. Multiple ways to launch your canoes or kayaks into the water. Dedicated boat ramp and sandy beach for launching. There is a dock they will let you tie to as well. No gas powered motors which worked fine for me. Makes less wake for the kids who are just being introduced to kayaking. They were incredibly comfortable on the calm water. Swimming area is always a hit too. Plenty of park rangers which helps keep it a family friendly atmosphere but its the Rangers are not over bearing so everyone still gets to enjoy their time there. Id recommend it anytime. Plenty of places for trash disposal as well which to me was a huge plus. Seems like you can't do anything these days without amassing a decent pile of garbage.

My wife and I just returned this afternoon from a Thursday thru Sunday camping trip at Holiday Lake State Park. Overall it was another great stay at a Virginia State Park. We booked this last of the season trip on someone's cancellation and accepted the site we set up in based on the online photo. We did the 6.5 mile Lakeshore hike which was beautiful this time of year. But there is only one thing that would have made this trip better which is better non-gravel road direction into the park. Google offers two quicker routes to the park from our home base in Charlottesville VA but both are eventually leading us onto dusty gravel roads. The actual website for Holiday Lake State Park should be updated to give campers a choice. Quick and dusty or 15 minutes longer and dust free. Again, beautiful park with plenty of lake recreation opportunities. We will return at some point.

We are huge state park fans and we loved this park. The lake is beautiful and great for fishing or boating. The beach area was really nice and clean. The lake trail was incredible, but several trees were down and there were a few spots that required walking in water to get across. We camped on Redbud 13, which was absolutely awful. It was tight for our 25 ft. TT and terribly unlevel. The bathhouses were clean and shower was roomy, and had great water pressure. We will definitely come back, but we will definitely stay at another campsite.

Camping - Red bud is good for tents, horrible for an rv. It is a single lane road with 1' drop offs on each side, making it all but impossible to back an rv greater than 20' into your site. When you are finally in, your steps end no more than 2' from the wood line. The picnic table and fire ring are behind your rv. The mens room was atrocious. Filthy, covered in literally 100s of gnats. Most of the sites were horribly unlevel. There are a few pull thru sites in a loop at the back of the campground, but seem to be an afterthought, no shade, no character, very close together. Laurel Ridge is much much better for rvs. Bathroom is new looking. Only problem is very few spaces. The beach area and boat ramp are very good. Although the bathroom there was dated, it was clean and in working order. All the staff I interacted with were fantastic, very helpful and caring. The hiking trails were well maintained and marked. Bottom line; do not use Red Bud for RV camping. Hopefully DCR will rennovate the camping facilities in the near future.

The staff was so helpful and understanding. The grounds are extremely well kept. We will definitely come back with our Trail life scouting troop again.

We love the beach, water and all aspects of Holiday Lake !! Nice to have an affordable snack bar. They have an outdoor shower and showers In locker room as well as lots of grassy area and tables!

Campsites are nice and staff were very friendly. Hills are a little steeper than expected, but nice flat paths along the lake. I’d like to come back and do the 10K loop around the lake.

If I lived any closer, I would be here every night. Alas, I’ll still make the drive out several times a year. This group has such a unique touch on everything they produce. Prepare to drink good mead and laugh your head off.

Always a 5 star experience watching the Wolfbane pack and all of their highly entertaining theatrical experiences. The actors are always next level, and they always have amazing backdrops that really sets the stage, pun intended. Don’t miss out, one of the best venue for engaging entertainment, get your tickets early as shows tend to sell out quickly, for enhanced show experience select VIP seating for one of a kind show engagement with actors.

We have attended two shows so far, one downtown Lynchburg and the other was outside venue in Appomattox. What a Great organization!!! Well put together! Looking forward to their next show.

I have seen productions inside and outside. It's a great setting. Lots of fun like-minded folks enjoying the performances. Bring your own chairs and a blanket for the chilly night air.

What a superb performance! Also the set was just magical. My lady and I had the best time. Thank you!

What a unique experience for this area. The venue in the woods is the best! Extremely reasonable ticket prices for top notch entertainment.

Highly recommend going to a show whether it's outside or inside. You have to sit in the splatter zone when it's offered. I prefer vip seating because I don't want to miss a thing.
