    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

    Food
    Saturday breakfast. - Yojimbo will be cooking French Toast for all. Additions will be welcome.

    Saturday's dinner - Potluck. In the past 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.

    There are times I wish I was still in that area until I remember the traffic Lived in the DC area for 11 years and never once made it to this park. I used to boat on the Occoquan river with my little 9.9 hp motor a lot so I'm surprise I never made it to this park. You guys enjoy and have a good hang.

    If traffic stops us..... I guess "we'd never do nuthin' or go anywheres".

    At this point I am planning to attend.

    It didn't stop me when I lived there but I can say life is so much easier without that hassle. You guys have fun.

    Possibly interested, though I'd probably be tent camping instead of hanging - is that total blasphemy around here if I'm trying to just dip my toes into ultralight hiking/camping?

    Tent campers are always welcome. This is a great place to look into whats out there in hammocks and try 'em out before buying.
