It's very depressing driving through Grindstone (Federal Park) now because it looks absolutely deserted. We've camped here several years ago & loved it, so while we were staying at Grayson Highlands (VA State Park), we wanted to visit an old favorite. OMG, the Feds have let us down... dropped the ball. After research, we see they are planning to replace the sewage/water system since it's about 50 yrs old. Also, appears it will take them YEARS to accomplish this. As other reviews stated, there are a few tent sites, but we didn't feel comfortable getting out of our car. It's 😔 !!
