Guests love staying here "We stayed in Birdsong cabin for the Halloween campout weekend. The cabin was ready for us upon arrival and very clean. We enjoyed the privacy of our covered porch and fire ring. The bird feeders hanging all around the cabin are wonderful to watch all the birds during the day. The community fire ring is close enough to enjoy with other campers, but not to close that we could hear anyone in our cabin. Amber and Michael checked on our needs many times during our stay. They hosted a chili cook-off that we greatly enjoyed and passed out candy to all the kids. Overall a great time and experience. We will stay here again."

The best camping near Wilderness Road State Park guide

Overview

About

Travel back in time to the beginnings of the Virginia frontier of 1775 at Wilderness Road State Park. A living history museum and theatre featuring the docurama “Wilderness Road, Spirit of a Nation,” gives visitors a first person perspective of settler life. Step away from busy modern life and learn what it’s like to cook over an open fire and care for horses. An ideal spot for scouts, church groups and history fanatics, Wilderness Road is more than a history lesson–its authentic.

When to go

The best time to visit Wilderness Road State Park is between May and October when the weather is warm and all facilities, including the historic Martin's Station, are open. Winter brings reduced hours and limited access, making the vibrant spring and lush summer months ideal for exploration.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's operating hours, as they vary seasonally, with the Visitor Center open from 8am to 4:30pm mid-March through December 22.
  • Remember to bring drinking water when camping, as only portable toilets are available, with no showers.
  • Accessibility is a priority, with universally accessible visitor centers, shelters, and restrooms available.
  • For fishing enthusiasts, a valid Virginia freshwater and trout fishing license is required within the park.
  • Planning an event? The Karlan Mansion and amphitheater are available for rent, perfect for weddings and gatherings.
