Virginia State Parks are a tonic for the mind, body, and spirit.  They are special places where we can leave behind life's daily pressures and recharge our spirits.

Virginia State Parks offer something for everyone - 34 state parks and nearly 30 natural areas, more than 1,400 campsites, 180 cabins, hundreds of miles of trails, and hundreds of activities, workshops, festivals, programs, and natural wonders to stimulate and educate every visitor.

Virginia State Parks are perfect for a three-hour relaxing picnic or a two-week vacation.

Virginia State Parks also make great base camps from which to explore the countless historic, recreational, and exciting opportunities across the Commonwealth.

Virginia State Parks have been recognized as some of the best in the nation.

Virginia State Parks are growing and expanding to make your next visit the best ever.  We've added new programs and activities and recently completed construction projects and improvements to provide more ways to leisurely enjoy the beauty of Virginia's great outdoors.

Virginia State Parks offer hiking, camping, hunting, retreats, cabins, wildlife, fishing, environmental education, canoeing, biking, and swimming beaches.
