General Notes
- Taking VA-10 all the way to I-295 goes under a dubious underpass/tunnel
- No reasonable place to stop for first 40 miles
- Tree trimming is dubious through the park, be prepared to slow and move into the other lane.
- Campground is gravel with serious potholes, go slow
- Water fill is at dump station on downhill side of the bath house. Take right hand loop and go around the outer edge of the campground to get to water fill
