Lake Holiday VA Camping
Lake Holiday VA camping is another one of the fabulous amenities you’ll enjoy when you choose a home or a membership lot in Lake Holiday. Camping by the lake is a beautiful way to enjoy roughing it without going far from home. Even though you’ll be close to home, you’ll feel as if you’re deep in the woods, camping at a traditional full-service campground.
Getting together with friends, cooking out in the open, then nodding off to the soft lapping of the lake against the shore is a stress-melting way to spend a weekend. You can fall asleep after an evening of brilliant star-gazing and then wake up ready for a fun-filled day and the adjoining beach.
There are nine campsites available for members to use near the newly expanded and improved Beach 2. Enjoy the sandy beach, the boat dock available for boaters, bathrooms close by, and picnicking using one of the built-in grills.
While tents are the most used way to camp at the Lake Holiday camping sites, you can also use a small camp trailer. There are no water or electric hookups for trailers, but you will have access to the portable toilets and the showers a short drive away at the clubhouse.
To reserve a campsite, call the Lake Holiday office at (540) 931-0951. You will need to be a member of the Lake Holiday POA and reserve your campsite for up to 14 days. You’ll need to wait an additional 14 days after renting to reserve a space again. The following rules from PRP No. 2 in the governing documents apply to renting a campsite at Lake Holiday:
LAKE HOLIDAY VA CAMPING RULES AND GUIDELINES
Camping is an amenity enjoyed by association members and guests at the designated area on the south side of the lake. Charcoal and gas grills are permitted, and a special container is provided for the disposal of ashes and/or hot coals; however no open fires are permitted. All campers are expected to respect the danger of fire and exercise extreme caution.
Campers are responsible for following the camping rules. Campers are expected to maintain a clean and safe campground. Members must be present with their guests at all times. The guest list is limited to six (6) persons including residents and children unless specifically authorized by the Board of Directors.
1. All assessments and fees must be current at the time of filling out the application for use of campsites as well as when the rental of the campsite begins.
2. Campsites are rented for a minimum of one overnight stay and a maximum of two weeks (14 days), and rental priority will be given to LHCC lot owners (members that do not have a home in the community). Lot owners without homes may reserve a camping site up to five months in advance. Lot owners with homes may reserve a camping site up to three months in advance, if a spot is available.
3. No less than one week in advance, Members must provide a written request, a $40.00 check or money order deposit, and $5.00 per day usage fee per campsite in order to make a reservation. The $40 deposit will be returned upon inspection of the campsite provided there were no violations of rules. Reservations will not be taken more than three (3) months in advance. You may request a specific campsite(s). There is a 14-day required waiting period before you can rent a campsite again.
4. Camping sites are located to the right of the numbered post as you face the lake. RVs and similar vehicles must pull straight into their site.
5. A camping permit issued by the association office must be displayed on the owner’s tent or RV at all times. If there is no permit or the permit has expired, all personal property on the campsite will be removed and brought to the Association office. The Member having made the reservation shall be responsible for all costs associated with disposal and/or storage of personal property left behind. All personal property must be removed from the campsite at the end of the reservation.
6. Be respectful of others and keep your noise level down. Sound carries easily over the water. No loud music or other disruptive noise from 9:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. daily at the campsites or on the beach. Call the Frederick County Sheriff to report noise disturbances.
7. All refuse must be picked up and disposed of in the trash receptacles provided.
8. Boats may be docked overnight near the campsites when a dock is available and only when the owner of the boat occupies a campsite. The occupier of the campsite must notify the office when they reserve their campsite that they will be docking a boat there and provide the boat’s LHCC registration number. A camping permit will be issued to place on the dashboard of the boat connected to the campsite. Otherwise, any overnight docked boats shall be removed and/or given a compliance citation.
9. All LHCC Boating Rules and Regulations apply (PRP-3).
10. Call 911 in case of an emergency.
