State parks are having the same problem in getting workers as every other enterprise, which may cause some services not being available from day to day.
Recently don’t allow umbrellas and canopies. It’s because people have been impaled by part of the umbrellas, and if you were an area that has a problem with wind this is a lot of reasons why they don’t allow.
That lady was full of it. We go to Douthat VERY frequently and they put the parking pass in the packet, or it’s given at the front check in area. Glad to know how things are there, as we’ve considered this park as a destination. Thanks!
Thank You!! We were getting some responses on FB from people saying it’s pretty standard at most of the Virginia SPs now. About half of our trips have been in Virginia and the others were in NC. Only once was the packet attached to the post and it was an entire envelope. At the end of the day, that wasn’t the reason we left, but seemed so silly for the lady to argue about. We’re headed to Douthat this fall. We’re looking forward to it!!
It’s not a bad place depending on what you want to do. We wanted to go fishing and the launch area gate is closed during prime hours. If we had an umbrella, we would have stayed for the swimming. Just a lot of information we didn’t know about and had we known prior to, we would have had a much better experience.

Douthat is absolutely beautiful.
Christopher Run campground is a nice campground at the lake. Mostly enjoyed by people with boats who want to access the lake.
Wow, good to know. We won't be booking there. That's sad since it looked like a decent place.

Bummer. Thanks for letting us know!
Wow what a bummer!! Sorry you guys had to deal with the nonsense. The canopy situation makes absolutely no sense.
Yall shouldn’t be campers. End of story, also there is plenty of places to launch at lake Anna about 11-12
Obviously you’re a die hard Lake Anna fan. Enjoy. It just wasn’t for us. Scroll on.
@@billtessgreatadventure1481not at all just do research before going camping . Clearly yall didn’t know how to google anything which is your fault
What a pity party.
@@roberthughes9773 We never asked for pity. It’s just the reasons why it didn’t work out for us. If you love the place, then enjoy it.
