We arrived at the park in the midst of tropical storm Ernesto. Much debris could be found as winds calmed, but the debris was removed early the next day by the park staff and by the end of Saturday, the park was pristine - except no water or electricity (sites are served by a well). The staff again came to the rescue by hooking a generator to a well a short distance from the campground that was accessible to the motorhomes and trailers to fill their tanks. The electricity wasn't restored until late Sunday afternoon, but everyone at the park had a great time "boondocking". The Camp Hosts were just as friendly and helpful as the Rangers. The rest rooms and showers were spotless. What could have been a very unpleasant weekend turned out to be absolutely great. Since this is our follow-up report on this park, here's more info. The campground has 4 pop-up camping units available for rent at $74/night (includes site). These are very nice, new Fleetwood units with A/C. At the moment, there are no camping cabins available, but the Ranger indicated these are in the plan. There is no pool and the park is located in a fairly remote area, so groceries and other supplies are a half-hour or so away. There is no camp store. The sites are large, private, level and drain really well - Ernesto was a huge test. The interior road is new blacktop and the sites are easy to maneuver into. Several pull-thru sites will accommodate the largest rigs. The dump station was very easy to access and had an easy return to the campsites for those staying for an extended time. For paddlers, the park has a dedicated canoe/kayak launch area as well as both for rent. Launch charges are included in the camping fee. Several well-marked trails take you to various spots on the Rappahannock River (wear old, sturdy shoes). The trails can also be bicycled. Wildlife was abundant since this is a working farm. Heron, osprey and eagles were plentiful on the river. Summary, this is a wonderful addition to the State Park system and the attitude of the staff is tremendous - they take great pride in the job they are doing and in the park. During the summer, there are planned activities for the family, but this is more of a rest and relaxation sort of place. If the kids need constant entertainment, then this would not be someplace they would enjoy. We'll be returning, frequently. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This review is based on our scouting visit to the park while staying at Westmoreland SP. This is a brand new facility on the Rappahannock River. The park itself is a working farm with a small campground. The sites are level and well-gravelled with table, lantern post and fire-ring. The interior road is blacktop. The single bathhouse is new and includes laundry facilities and separate private showers. The park has a deep water boat ramp as well as a dedicated kayak/canoe launch site with pier. We were so impressed, we're heading back over the Labor Day weekend with friends. Will write a more in-depth review then. We camped here in a Motorhome.
