If you’re looking to get out and enjoy the season, Richmond has two state parks within an hour’s drive. Both parks have camping options ranging in intensity, from primitive plots to furnished yurts.
Pocahontas, ~30 minutes
Pocahontas State Park has yurts, cabins, and tent camping options. Campsites feature electric and water hookups, public toilets, grills, picnic tables, hot showers, and lantern holders. See individual pricing for cabins and yurts.
Powhatan, ~40 minutes
Further west, Powhatan State Park has three yurts and 29 campsites with electric and water hookups, plus additional amenities, similar to Pocahontas.
If you’re feeling a bit more hardcore, Powhatan also has nine primitive (canoe-in or hike-in) campgrounds available year-round for $16 a night.
Camping costs
Prices range depending on your stay and accessibility to amenities. At both parks, electric and water hookups are $37 for Virginia residents. Buddy + group camping fees are also available. You can also find individual park pricing for yurts and cabins.
