Camping

Grab the marshmallows and sleeping bags, and brush up on your ghost stories! Then get the kids in the car and head to any one of dozens of state, federal, and private campgrounds for a relaxing weekend of sleeping under the stars. Not sure where to go? Check out one of the Commonwealth's 35 State Parks and spend your evenings around the campfire and your days playing on the beach at First Landing State Park, or taking in a history lesson at Leesylvania. Whatever your choice, it promises to put your mind at ease and give your kids an experience that will last them a lifetime.
