Aqualand Marina and Campground — Hotel in Dahlgren

I've been living here full-time for 10 months. It's not that far from most places and I feel super safe here, especially during the CORONAVIRUS epedemic.

Central to DC area and Northern VA.

The bad: they offer no internet which is a massive problem here. I got lucky and share my connection with a neighbor. Nomad is the only thing that seems to work properly around here so expect to pay more for that.

Utilities are good, and rent went up during pandemic which is crazy, especially since they are making bank by renting out their marina due to bridge construction which will be going on for the next 4-5 years.

Due to construction the beach which I prized a great deal is inaccessible. The noise from construction doesn't interfere too much to the peace that is here most of the time.

The office folks are great but they have insane office hours which makes no sense and VERY inconvenient because of not being able to get mail at the office mon- Wednesday and they give no explanation why they operate Wed- Sunday at reduced hours. Why are they open on a Sunday but closed on Monday?

Neighbors are helpful to me as well as the staff otherwise. The public areas are kept very clean. They are improving the water system but I don't drink the tap water.

All in all I happy here and would recommend. I'm loving here at least until Covid runs it's course and I can save up money to buy my own land. Rent is reasonable and you have your own little space to grow food or whatever you like to do.

I feel comfortable here and if you are looking for a spot to live temporarily it's better than ALL RV...

Worst campground you could possibly go too! Employees are very disrespectful the moment you walk in the door. Its as if your inconveniencing them by trying to get them to do what they are paid to do! The owner sits in the office as well and he is just as rude! Very disgusting bathrooms are filled with bugs. Its not even really a campground, its been turned into more of a trailer park. People are loud all times of the night. Alot of break ins happening so if you stay make sure you lock your car doors and take anything of value inside with you. Absolute worst place to be!! They also do not like black people! I watched as they treated a customer differently because of the color of their skin. If you want to have a good camp stay in this area, just go to Goosebay in Welcome, Md. Office people are super nice as is the owner. Sits directly on the water. Super peaceful and an amazing environment. Aqualand is a trash place and i do not recommend anyone...

We are just doing an overnighter so don't have much feedback on the park facilities. Our site is not paved but it is level, full hookup with 50 Amps. If I were camping with a boat, this could be perfect having the marina so close by. Down sides I see for this park are : OTA tv stations are 50+ miles away so no tv. No park internet. Pretty good cell phone reception so we have internet thru our hot spot. My only real complaint was in order to check in you have to drive to the marina store. While the store has a pretty large parking lot to get turned around in, I had to disconnect my towed car in order to turn around. Not a biggie but we had a pull thru site so a...
