Very secluded (Permit required..?)

Stayed here a night after heading to Williamsburg and jamestown, at the end of the road is a boat launch into the river and just before are the "camp sites" (just a large area of grass off to the side w/ parked rv's) but i dont see why you couldn't pitch a tent. Not very well marked just pull off and park in the grass alongside the road. I found a really nice spot in the woods though on the other side of the road, if you go all the way down to the boat launch, there will be a site on your right hand side that has an amazing view just one site about a quarter mile through the woods and you have your own little spot! opposite the rv parking. Other than that its pretty rustic, no fire rings or picnic benches. Looks like an area kids come to on the weekends, there was a small camp with a trash bucket someone had brought out and sadly, freshly downed trees and quite a few of them. The view here though was unbelievable! WMA wildlife management area's require a permit, but i only stayed one night everything was just fine.
