We returned from Cozy Acres Campground in Powhatan Va. tired. We had a great time, stayed up too late each night so we were all tired coming home. We got off to a later start then anticipated which is typical for us, always one more thing to pack on the camper before leaving.
The trip started about 6pm for us. We were camping with a couple and thier two kids, luckily we camped side by side in very nice pull thru sites. The sites had patio brick, very level, trees for shade, and spacious. We arrived to the campground in about 2 hrs. Could have been shorter but the first turn was easy to miss according to friends that have been there. They were right! Our friends arrived 20 minutes in front of us, so we set up together in the dark. I prefer arriving in daylight.
The campground sits on 200 acres! Three fishing ponds that are stocked very well, we caught fish in all 3. One pond holds farm raised catfish, this pond reguires a $3.00 fee, but you can keep 2 fish. My 6 year old son was the first to catch one of these catfish, what an exciting experience for him. We threw several back so we could keep hooking them, they were bighting very well. After choosing 3 larger fish to keep we cleaned them and grilled them for dinner Sunday evening.
Saturday was full of fun things to do. We enjoyed the pool and the playground all weekend long. The weather was perfect! Thank God for that. Sunday night they had a dance party with a DJ, this was nice, he played a well rounded mix for both kids and adults. This campground offers something unique. They have instead of hay rides a Fire Engine ride! An old retired truck with lights and sirens that work, belive me, they proved that the sirens work LOL…
Cozy Acres do offer hay rides but it is designed as a tour of their working farm. It was not offred this weekend but sounds very interesting. All in all we had a great Labor Day camping trip. We are now down for about 6 weeks untill October when we go to Va. Beach for a week, we will camp Trave-l-Park for the halloween festivities. They do and Awesome job with Halloween. The same friends are coming with us on this trip as well. We all have two trips scheduled for October, then I hate to say it, but November we winterize:(
Thanks for reading. Untill next post keep the camper going and the dust off!! “The Calland Family” Cozy Acres is Highly reccommended from us!!
