Occoneechee State Park is a state park near Clarksville, Virginia, located along Buggs Island Lake. Occoneechee State Park is 2,698 acres in size. It is named for the Occaneechi Indians, who lived in the area. "Bacon's Rebellion abruptly ended their prominence in 1676. This armed rebellion is considered to be the first to occur in the New World. It began when Nathaniel Bacon’s plantation was raided by Susquehannock Indians, who had been displaced from their home to the north. Bacon asked Virginia Gov. Berkley to raise a militia and retaliate. Berkley denied the request so Bacon raised a militia, in violation of the governor’s wishes."Make Occoneechee State Park a part of your Clarksville vacation plans using our Clarksville trip app.

A park with something for everyone. I enjoyed checking out the terraced garden area and reading about the history of the plantation. The trail is nicely shaded and allows a time for contemplation of those that lived there at that time. Also checked out the enormous boating launch area. Enjoyed the deck looking out over the area.

We camped in Loop B and had a great time. It was comfortable and quiet, the bathhouse was very clean and well maintained and the right size for the number of campers. There's no water access from this loop and it's about a half mile from the splash pad. If you've got children, prepare for that excursion. Having said that, it is a boaters paradise and there's plenty of opportunities for that. We visited the camp store/visitor center and learned the history of the park and the Occoneechee Indians. The store is not as well stocked as some of the other campgrounds within the Virginia State Park system. We will return, especially while attending events in the area.
