Description

Park is open for day use and overnight camping. Honor parking at posted daily rate. Hiking trails, picnic shelters, comfort stations and boat launch.James River State Park is one of the states newest parks. The park offers access to nearly 20 miles of hiking/biking/horseback riding trails. There are restrooms in major day use areas. No water is available in the campgrounds.The primitive aspect of the camping must be considered. But if you like to fish, like a more primitive and less crowded setting, like to canoe or like river activities, make note of this new camping opportunity. While its not for those who bring hair dryers and fans, if you dont mind roughing it, youll love the park.
