Staunton River State Park, A GREAT Place!

I just took a trip to Staunton River State Park in Scottsburg, Virginia.  While at the park I got a tour of their facilities.  The park is a little off the beaten path, but once you get there what a great place to spend a week.  The park has a beautiful swimming pool with giant water slide and a kiddies swim area.  What I liked about the pool area is that it even had picnic tables there to sit with your family and have a nice picnic lunch.  Right outside the swim area were 2 tennis courts that looked like a great place for a little competitive battle.  The park has 8 cabins that may have been built by the CCC in the 1930's. but have modern amenities and a great location above the river.  I would much prefer to stay in these cabins than any four star hotel.  In addition for overnight accommodations the park has a beautiful campground.  The sites looked spacious and there were lots of trees to provide shade during the hot summer months.  For boaters, the park had a nice lighted boat ramp with floating dock.  The park also offers hiking trails to go get some exercise during your visit.  If all that wasn't enough for a great stay, the staff there makes you feel welcomed and want to make sure you have a memorable experience.
