The Wilderness Road Campground is located approximately 3 miles from the park visitor center off of Highway 58 in Virginia. It has 160 sites in a beautiful wooded setting.
20, 30, and 50 amp electrical hookups are available at 41 of the sites. Hot showers and potable water are located in the comfort stations. A dump station is located near the campground entrance. Campsites are easily accessed along paved loop roads. Many of the sites are large enough to accommodate an RV or trailer of up to 50 feet. Most sites require backing, site C4 is a pull-through site.
This state park had bison! That was the highlight for my kids but, the views that surround it are gorgeous. The visitor center is a must it explains alot of the history of the park & then spend some time exploring the buildings on the park. Its quiet & peaceful easy walks
We had a short visit here. Stopped to have a picnic lunch in their picnic area and checked out the visitors center. Used the restrooms in the visitor center. The highlight was visiting the buffaloes. There were five adult buffalos and one baby.
We visited here on a Friday in early April. It was actively raining so we decided to not go on our planned hike. We did look at the couple exhibits inside the visitor center and looked at the store. The ranger and other lady at the kiosk were fun to talk to.
There is a video for the park they show in the theater on demand. It was a nice quick way to learn about the park even though we didn't get to hike and explore it much.
We also have been trying to collect all the VA State Park pins and unfortunately this park's pin is a bit underwhelming. It's a green shield with a buffalo and the park's name on it and it's very very small Almost the size of a button. We did end up picking up a couple of the cool looking stickers and a patch.
There are bathrooms and a water bottle filler inside the visitor center.
Definitely worth another visit to this park just to do a couple of the interesting looking trails. Martin's Station the historical living history area/fort was also closed on our visit. They are currently only open on the weekends.
What a cool place this is. An old fort that you can explore and a beautiful mountain in the background. Well worth the $5 per vehicle entry fee
