    We are proud to be part of the Old Dominion Hangers.

    The Park is less than an hour south of DC and hour or so north of Richmond and less than 2 hours from Charlottesville.
    Directions
    https://www.nps.gov/prwi/planyourvisit/directions.htm

    We will be hanging in the Oak Ridge Campground. 'A' loop, sites 25-35.
    Link to campground page
    https://www.nps.gov/prwi/planyourvisit/oakridge.htm


    The park is hammock friendly and can accomodate up to six hangers per site. The caviat is just two cars per site. There is overflow parking nearby. The park has a 1.5" strap requirement but double wrapping the tree counts.

    Costs
    There is a $7 fee per car.
    Each site is $20 per night, all paid on the honor system at the campground. If we group up with around 4 hangers per site, that works out to $5 per person a night.
    The sites are on a first come / first serve basis. This time of year the park is fairly empty.

    There are several hiking trails through the park and other things to do

    Meal planning discussion is welcome. Last year we had potluck for Saturday's dinner. The food was out of this world (sorta like a nova).

    In years past the temps have been in the 20s and last year we were in shorts. Welcome to VA weather.

    Worried? Maybe not worried. I do try to bring some excitement though.

    I'm planning to come this year. It being over Vet Day weekend helps a lot. My wife may come, but it depends on her schedule. I'll know better when it gets closer.
