Park Status: Closed

Hello, I hope and pray each of you and your families are staying healthy. I have received numerous inquiries today concerning the campground opening up. The same restrictions that applied yesterday to OUR campground STILL apply today and will apply to OUR campground until Governor Northam, Virginia's governor, says otherwise. I understand that other campgrounds are open now or will be opening; some with restrictions, some without. We are NOT other campgrounds.
