I have posted some information from the website, which is easier than me trying to list everything. We stayed here one night in a tent and I have to tell you it was wonderful. Our campsite was really close to the showers and they were clean, clean, clean as was the laundry room.
Even in November the campground was crowed but everyone was quite and the surroundings were beautiful. We arrived a bit too late to try our the restaurant, but the building was cool, build by the CCC back in the day with stone, got love stone buildings. The visitor center, where you check in has allot of nature stuff to look at.
All of Virginia state parks have a rubber stamp that you can get an impression to remember your visit. I collect stamps from the National Parks and there is a book you can get to press your stamps into. I use this same book to collect other stamps like the Virginia state parks stamps.
Some states, like Tennessee, have their own passport book you can get for free at any state park. It tells you about the park and it provides a place to stamp the parks stamp.
Anyway, since we live in Virginia we have visited and/or stayed at a few and we have always enjoyed our stay.
