The state park is just 22 miles from downtown Richmond, VA. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and only shared our section of the campground with one other camper. That changed as the weekend arrived!

This was the view of the woods just outside our dining room window. The dogwood is Virginia state flower and it was in full bloom while we were at the park.

This is just one of the trails that are maintained inside the park. Not only for hiking, but also for bicycle riders.

All the trails are well marked, so we didn’t get lost!

We hiked up to the old CCC camp building. The Azalea was blooming right outside of the window. The building wasn’t open yet—not until after Memorial Day!

I couldn’t help taking this picture of the dogwood blooming over the top of a chimney on our hike. It was a beautiful park and we really enjoyed our stay.
