Did you know that Virginia State Parks are perfect for group getaways and gatherings? Many of our Virginia State Parks have lodges that can easily accommodate 16 people comfortably!  

Virginia State Parks lodges typically consist of two wings with 6 bedrooms and three large bathrooms. In the center of the lodge is a massive common area for families, friends and groups to mingle and have fun!  The main gathering area of the lodge features a huge window-walled living room with fireplace, sofas, chairs and coffee tables and a large dining table that seats 8 with counter space to seat another 8.  These areas are perfect for scrapbooking, Bible study, puzzles, board games, drawing or anything else you have in mind.
