Beautiful display of Christmas lights. The drive through is so beautiful and perfect for the season. This year due to covid, they do not have the carnival at the end of the drive, but its still worth it for the lights show. If you book your tickets online, you get a 5$ off discount, which is really cool. Weekdays are less crowded, if you dont want to have a long line at the entrance.

In the before times, I enjoyed bringing my kids to the playground here. It seems like most people using it these days dont wear masks though. I still think it is a great place to hike though. It isnt the easiest trail around, but not too difficult even for toddlers to navigate it.

This is a Magic Experience!!! Bull Run Festival of Lights.Toyland, Winter Wonderland, etcIt costs $30 per car, it’s worth it!!! You will not be disappointed. Have your camera prepared and a pair of gloves it’s freezing cold outside!!! Take your time, drive slowly and enjoy the festival of Christmas lights!!!

Out for a round of Disc golf. Great day for it too. I just wish I could throw better. Its been a long time since I have done it and it shows.

Great place to camp! The location was perfect for hiking the site where the Manassas Battles occurred. Probably a 15 min drive. Site 36 was a pull through with water and electricity. No issues at all aside from the skeet range nearby, but I read other reviews and expected it. Very safe.

Went to play disc golf on the course here. It was a fantastic day! Easily one of my favorites in the area. Starting to get more practice in, and this being local, is a treat. Got to get a nice look at the camping spots as well. Very well taken care of, and the few people we met playing disc golf were nothing but kind.Would recommend this area for family outings, disc golf, hiking.. theres probably more to explore! Will definitely be back soon!

Beautiful, peaceful area. Nice easy to moderate trails. My only complaint is that the official park map isnt very helpful and the directional signage is pretty lacking. Although it felt like it would be hard to get officially lost (at least in the section we were at), we still got on the wrong trail and didnt realize until about 30 minutes in. We wound up having to using a hiking trails app to find our way which still wasnt ideal because cell signal and gps were pretty spotty too. Still, had a great time and would definitely go back.

My two young daughters (4 and 7) camped here for a night and had a blast! Although Id been here a couple times prior for special events I never realized how huge the park is overall! We enjoyed hikes and a friendly camping area, the girls played at the playground and we picked up a few items from the camp store where the staff was super friendly.Would recommend this campground!

Great disc golf course. Ridiculously big park. Sort of between a local and state park, except that this place seemed to be pretty full of a ton of like minded people. The disc golf course was really busy but a ton of fun. This is an hour from my house but Ill definitely be going back.

Beautiful place for a walk, run, hike. Get out and enjoy the outdoors with well maintained trails. Fresh air, sunshine, social distancing and no walls

Spent 4 nights here kids had a really good time. I am very Thankful this campground is so close to all the History,Trails, and D.C. in General.

I play disc golf at Bull run from time to time. Good Course, has a little mud and bring some mosquito spray. Its 2 bucks to play, which I gladly pay. and they have a lost/found if you loose a disc( some courses dont have this). It has some good long straights, mostly par 3s. Very flat course. If it rained wait a day before you play there is the only advice I have.

Awesome light show. Campsites are clean, easy access and friendly staff

What a beautiful park that as a regional park is better than most big name places

Park is nice but park manager and some staff are not helpful. The park manager doesnt know how to handle situation. He doesnt know how to de-escalate. Instead, he showed rudeness. So inconsiderate!!! Manager is so arrogant!!!!!Remember, Mr. Manager, you get paid from peoples tax money!!!!!You want to collect extra $10 for every camp site if campers arrive even few minutes before 1PM check in. The camp is available...our friend is on her way to the front desk to pay for extra $30 that you asked for. I asked for consideration but you booted us out. We are professionals but treated inhumanely and told us that we dont pay Virginia tax because we came from the neighboring state, what about our federal tax? We patronize Virginia, we add money to VA for tourism and we buy stuff from Virginia. Mr .Manager, be compassionate and considerate....We already compromised. He said, I will not bother again you as long as someone pays the $30. Our friend, the birthday celebrant just texted that she has arrived in Bull Run. Then, I even apologized to the manager...He left but after 3 minutes, he returned and yelled on us to pack and leave while our friend was on the admission office about to pay the $30. It was too harsh and drastic. In a matter of 3 minutes, it turned to a disaster. That was an overkill. Were not criminals to be treated that way. We are big payers of taxes.We are professionals. Because of a decision made in the midst of anger , fun was changed into hatred....Add compassion and treat people humanely.

My wife, my 2 y/o and I were on a road trip in a rental RV. We were running behind schedule and needed a place to stay the night. Bull Run saved us!!!!! We were able to check in online, we showed up at 11pm, hooked up our RV, and just went to the office in the morning. Driving out in the morning we saw that they had a whole water park, swimming pool, its November so theyre setting up for a big christmas lights drive thru show. BEAUTIFUL PLACE! HELPFUL PEOPLE! GREAT PRICES!

We LOVE this park! Beautiful trails and tons of parking. The Christmas lights every year are beautiful!

There for the disk golf course. Lots of fun. The course was a little run down, but only a couple of places was it not obvious where to go. The arrows hanging from the baskets were very helpful.

Great park with plenty of picnic areas. Sorry I forgot to take pictures. The pavilions are closed right now but the picnic tables and picnic areas are open.

Great campground with some of the cleanest facilities that Ive seen. Price is reasonable for camping.

The park is very big, went there in winters for Christmas lights drive through, it was our first and we liked it. There was a big Marry go round and other games like Dart game and some small kids rides at the end. Recommended.

Doesnt really have any trails outside of the Blue Bell one. Seems great for big events and for glamping but... Eh, not for me.

This review is for one of the hiking trails (the name of the trail was a color I cant remember). I gave two stars because I fault myself for not being more prepared, such as bug spray, boots, and long clothing. The trail looked it hadnt been maintained for months and many parts were covered in mud that other hikers created improvised trails to go around. Horse dung littered the trail and attracted many many flies throughout the hike. Plants had grown over several lengths of the trail, making you wonder if youre still in the park - and obviously check for ticks after, we found a few. Lastly, its easy to get lost, bring a map, theres only a couple signs. Theres service so it helped.

Had a great time here! Shot wobble for the first time with some friends. Everyone there was very nice and helpful. It cost $27 in total for the rifle rental, ammo, and ticket. Definitely want to go back again.

So disappointed in this park. We had to cancel our stay, and they refused to issue a refund. Apparently cancelling 48 hours before your reservation means 48 hours before your date of arrival, not the actual time of your reservation. When I pointed out that this wasnt defined anywhere, their customer service rep just kept repeating its our policy and was unable to ever tell me where this was policy was ever made clear to actual CUSTOMERS! Ugh. Callous well, were telling you now that reservation doesnt mean your actual reservation, it means something else attitude.

Love the quiet but beautiful scenery !

Great park for camping, Christmas lights in the winter, water park, picnics, anything for outdoor fun. Full facilities for camping and more. All campgrounds have electricity and close proximity to bathhouses

Trails that are mostly untouched are my favorite. The sounds of peace and nature, and the occasional gentle water gurgle are priceless. This one offers some good grades up and down, and a satisfying jaunt through the woods.

Great parkland. Open space. Walking paths through the woods. Pool. Camping. Playground. Nice place.

Holiday drive thru light show was nice.

Amazing day hiking among the Bluebells on this wonderful nature trail.A must see/do fir locals looking to soak in a little fresh air and nature’s bounty.

From Rochester, NY and I really enjoyed the disc golf course.

So much to do and such a beautiful treasure, 45 minutes from Capitol Hill in DC!

Perfect for a hike or simple walk. Allowed for everyone to have necessary space.

Breathtaking historic area. Never forget what took place here in history. Respect it.

A very nice regional park with many activities. We enjoyed the disc golf. Beware the spongy, muddy spots. Be prepared to fight the mosquitos.

This is a beautiful park with a lot of recreational space! I highly recommend coming here when the bluebells are flowering in late April to early May! They are absolutely gorgeous!

Had a great time here. They have a great camping ground.

Lots of space to roam, well laid out, great trails for walking.

Very clean and well maintained. Just be careful if you plan to be in the grassy areas as there are swarms of mosquitoes.

Great clean grounds, spacious lots, clean, great hotwater in the showers, friendlyy staff, trails, lots of activities to get invovled in.Only downside is you can only purchase their ($9 per bundle) which burns really fast wood and cant use wood on the grounds. Make sure you have a large budget for wood especially if you are there for an extended stay

We had a great RV campsite and the entire park is beatiful and right next to a huge Civil War Battlefield.

It was our first trip to the festival of lights and it did not disappoint! Every place you looked there were beautiful displays movement was a part of many. I highly recommend taking the time to see the lights! Great job Bull Run!

Wow! Great camping sites and amenities. Hoping to return soon

This was a pretty park with some nice hikes through the woods. I didnt realize that its in Fairfax and not Prince William though. There were many people there but hardly anyone on the trails, which is the best. There were many places for picnics and playgrounds.

We have made it a tradition to visit the Bull Run Park annually for the Christmas Lighting drive through festival that they set up every year. Every year we see everything from the past and some new surprises. Highly recommend for a fun time with family, especially if you have a pre-schooler who gets fascinated by animation.

A yearly tradition for our family that certainly helps to celebrate the magic of Christmas and making memories. The Winter Festival is definitely pricey when it comes to food, rides, games, etc., but the pictures with Santa are well done and reasonable.

Nice for Trail running very challenging, beautiful scenery for hiking.

The festival of lights were very nice

Nice easy trails. A bit messy from the crowds who dont pick up after themselves, but still very nice.

Nice shaded hiking along a meandering river. We hiked on a Wednesday and went south from the Bull Run Regional Campground.I live in North Carolina, and my hiking buddy lives in New Jersey. Both of us were very disappointed to see the amount of trash and litter along the hiking trail and in the river.It is common practice in the places where we live to take out whatever you bring into a wilderness area. It was sad to see you how many lazy or sloppy people go hiking along this trail and think its somebody elses job to clean up after them.

This is a great RV Park. We have stayed here several times over the years while visiting relatives in the area. The light show for the Christmas season is a wonderful treat. Kudos to the park district and people that set up and keep the lights working. Love it

Very nice RV campground with cabins, a water park, and a playground for children. Of note, Google maps will lead you through the adjacent shooting range. Navigate to the park entrance instead and youll be fine. Very hard for an RV to turn around once you hit the gate for the shooting range, be aware

A very nice and quiet place, great for a walk alone/with family. Try to get some bug repellent on you before you come here though, a few spots have flies hovering right on the path. The bluebells are astonishing, great to take famil pictures in.

This is a very nice, clean park with very friendly staff. I am here in early March so the trees are bare but it must be spectacular when the trees are in leaf.

Good park overall. Bring bug spray and if you camp there, the sites include power hookup, fire pits, trees for hammocks. Only down side was that the camp pads are just dirt

Great place to take out my 3 & 9 year old, nice trails, amazing nature, good old fresh air.

Nice hiking a bit more than easy.

The one mile loop around the museum, Henry house and Robinson house was perfect for the entire family. My 72 year old parents and my 8 year old son all handled that well.

Lighting wasnt that much in volume, could have been better with more lights. It was average experience.

Great place to do all sorts of outdoor activities with wide open grassy fields, walking trails that take you away from the busy urban setting into a world of natural beauty.

The park is a wonderful place for long walks or easy hikes. The bull run trail starts from here and continues till Occoquan which is about 15 miles away, making it a fairly long trail. The trail itself is well maintained but had parts where the soil was completely wet and sticks to your shoes despite two sunny days after the last rain.Its a perfect place for taking your dogs on walk. Its fairly isolated and cool even in summer due to the nearby stream and dense canopy.

Great for my baby girl of 3

Mismanaged park. Very few grills, almost no shade. Even if all the grills are unused and not reserved, the useless employees cant allow you to use the grills, you have to reserve grills weeks in advance through a horrible, clunky website. Local government at its worst.

Nice area with lots to do. Disc golf is worth the try

Love camping here every year with my family! Great site

The lights were great! $25 per car and a small carnival at the end!! Would have got 5 stars if it wasnt so expensive at the carnival!!

It was a moderate Hiking trial.. really great place for some fresh air.

Acres of natural space and facilities for hundreds of possible activities and outdoor adventures for everyone. Bring your family book one of large picnic areas for a company picnic, or enjoy a relaxing weekend . Home to the Bull Run Festival of Light. I attended few cultural events and the place is perfect for huge gatherings.

Its a gem. Its a lovely walk in the woods, excellent for exercise, and also a place to take your dog for a walk.

Great place for dog exercise.

Awesome place. Close to home. They charge on weekends but it was totally worth the 8 bucks. Had a nice walk on the blue bell trail

Fun place to go whether you want to shoot shotgun, archery, or just hangout in the park. They have rental shotguns and ammo but no loaner archery equipment. I wouldnt count on anyone from archery returning your calls or emails though. The Holiday light show is nice. Just try to fill the car if you go because they charge by the car, not per person. And, yes, those are actual shots from 18 meters.

When you enter this park, youll notice that at least ten bullets were discharged against the doors of an abandoned restroom. This is a bit scary. Yet, amid old plastic bottles thrown here and there, and despite the neglect it suffers, this park has beautiful places where your spirit can find calm and serenity observing nature. What could be improved are the walking paths leading to this park... its a tragedy to have to need a car to get to this park... Unfortunately, cars are the only means of transportation. Public transportation and real bike paths will render more accessible the natural beauty of this region.

We camped here for the weekend and checked out the park too.verybbig and clean. Lots of picnic areas and shelters for rent. Lots of areas along the stream. The playground were very nice.The water park was great too. While every spot was taken it did not feel packed.

Best place for family functions and families reruns

Nice pinic areas. Great for RVs. And nice water park.

Well kept area for hiking.

It is the type of places that I would recommend to my friends, the decoration is beautiful and the price is very cheap but, and this is why I do not give 5 stars, there should be more decorations, I think it is not enough.

The campground is wooded and spread out, and all sites have electrical hookups, some have water and sewer. The bathrooms and shower facilities are very clean and modern.

This is my favorite place for a weekend camping trip, being just an hour and a half from home. They can accommodate everything from tents to Class A motorhomes. The park is open year round and hosts a holiday festival of lights. The sites are spread out as its a regional park and not a privately owned campground. Full hookup sites are the most expensive at $55 a night, still cheaper than full hookups at other places and at least double the site space. Plenty of trails, fields, shelters for rent, picnic tables that are first come first serve, and playgrounds. The bonus is the Atlantis Water park at only $4 if a registered camper. Its close to Jiffy Lube Live for concert goers. It also has a shooting range, which some dont like, but never bothers us.

Where I was was the Bull Run - Occoquan trail Rt. 28 trailhead. Once you are a ways down the trail its fairly secluded. It takes you from Bull Run Regionsl Park all the way to Fiuntainhead Regional Park. 5000 acres.

Great prices for groups. We had 5 people, rented 1 gun and shot for 3 hours. $40/head

Had a great time playing Disc Golf until we were attacked by a swarm of bees. If you play the course be careful. The guys that maintain the disc course do a great job but you cant stop mother nature.

This trail great place to hike for as long as youd like.

Beautiful campground. Cool design to have pull-thrus along the road and have personal space next to the camper. Next time we will stay in one. I always love places with trees. Internet access was good. We had our hot spots. Loved the light display. We went in the fall during Thanksgiving day weekend. Very quiet. Only 4 stars because bathhouse could have been cleaner. But it wasnt horrible. I do love individual showers!

Bull Run is an awesome park and their Christmas lights exhibit is second to none. Within an hour of D.C..

Well kept, many things to do, great for kids.

A lot to do here, camping, swim park, skeet, frizbee golf etc

We drove through their yearly Christmas light display.It was spectacular. The kids loved it. It took about a half hour to drive the entire route through the animated display.The cost is $25 per car.Its a must see!!

Nice place to drive through lights. The village is nice to take pictures but the stalls needed coupons and there was only one coupon counter. Wish there were more counters so people could get coupons sooner.

A wooded trail that winds left and right, up and down, rocky+earthly, and rooty leads you through the park in proximity of Bull run.

Its a great place for holding huge public events.

Great park to walk outdoor.

This is a great park! Sites are little uneven and that is the only thing I could be complain about. Some say mosquito bites and ants, and I say that you are camping so come prepared. Area is really kept up, safe, affordable, and the staff is super friendly. They even have a water park and great trails!

My daughter and I went to see the Miracle of Lights. Great show for kids around the holidays

Amazing display of Virginia bluebells.

Bull Run Shooting Center, awesome staff! Great place to learn, trap&skeet shotgun skills. Rentals available at a very reasonable$

Enjoyed the light show!

I have been to the drive through Christmas display. It was amazing. Also they have things for the family to do at the end of the light show. And a few rides to enjoy. They have many activities throughout the year and it is very successful events.
