Walnut Grove — James River State Park

Peaceful, quiet, only a few sites. Separated nicely. Gorgeous views.

Reserved a water/electric site only to be near a bathhouse. Traveling with a toddler equals twice the mess.

Site was a decent size because it accommodates RVs. The site was crushed rock, which wasn't ideal but it was quiet even throughout. 

Bathhouse looked like it was fairly new. Loved that the showers were individual stalls accessed on the outside of the bathhouse. 

The night sky was amazing. You could see stars for miles. Enjoyed a nice sunset by the river.

We were not prepared for the stairs 😂. They say walk in but it’s a more a short hike. So getting our gear (we aren’t minimalist people) in was a workout but worth it.

On a gorgeous cove, you don’t have the waves from the boat traffic on the rest of the lake. It was wonderful for our paddle boards. Given that there are only 20 sites you don’t get a feeling of crowded. Multiple empty sites during the week. Mostly full during the weekend. Our site had a little trail down to the water.
