DOUTHAT STATE PARK CAMP, KAYAK, HIKE, EAT, HAVE FUN

This event is cross-posted with “We Love To Camp Over 50 Meet-up Group”
DON’T DELAY IN MAKING CAMP RESERVATION AS THESE SITES FILL UP VERY QUICKLY!!!

Douthat State Park does not have a tent limit per site if all the tents are set up in the border of the marked area of the gravel.

Douthat State Park has been one of the favorite campsites with our group. Obviously because of its endless options of hiking trails, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, hydro biking and of course it’s beautiful lake.

In 2024 some of us participated in a 10-mile paddle on the Jackson River through Alleghany Outdoors and had an amazing time so we are adding it as an option again in 2025.
CAMPSITE + PADDLE COST’S AND LINKS

Please see links below to register for campsite and/or kayak trip.
Douthat State Park fills up very quickly once the sites are available to book 11 months prior. I would encourage you not to delay in booking a site. If you end up not being able to go you can always sale your spot to another member or switch it out for another day and/or campsite with any VA state park or get a refund with which they charge a $10 fee.
We will be booking at the White Oaks Campground but feel free to book at any site or cabin and meet up with us.

• Each site on White Oaks has electricity
• Your Hosts will be staying at site W015
