The park is hammock friendly and can accomodate up to four hangers per site. The caveat 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. Trees must be 6" in diameter.

Costs
There is a $10 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).

Don't forget to add your contributions to the sign-up page.

Other notes
In years past the temps have ranged from the 20s to 50s. One year we were in shorts. Welcome to VA weather.

There’s a heated bathroom building within 50 yards of the campsites with hot showers. And this is a NICE bathhouse. Trust me.

Here is a map of the park. Please note the campground is at the other end of the park from the entrance. It takes about 25 minutes just to get through the park.
