    Natural Tunnel State Park - Cave signage

    Natural Tunnel State Park

    Clearly, this place is marketed to resemble Natural Bridge, Virginia's better known (and frankly,…read moremore impressive) attraction. The park here is set up with a number of camping facilities and trails that have a separate entrance, while the attraction itself is accessible by parking at a visitor center and either walking down a fairly steep trail or taking a (seasonal) chairlift. On the dreary day I visited, there was barely a soul in sight, but the park seemed to be setting up for a winter lights festival. The tunnel itself is used for a railroad line, and a viewing platform allows you to go to the edge of the tunnel but you can't actually go through it, which is disappointing. The trail downstream through the gorge is pleasant and worth a brief jaunt but it terminates quickly. Those seeking more of a hike will find the ridge trail that heads upwards worthwhile, and the views of the tunnel from above are probably at least as good as what you'd get walking up close to it. The local Lover's Leap is majestic (and horrifying, if you think about it). I did not think it one of the more impressive state parks in either Virginia or in the the confluence of states in this region, but there are some nice things to see.

    I love this place. It's beautiful!! The trails were amazing. The staff was amazing. Santa didn't…read moregive me a present, but the kids loved him so much lol

    I called here to try and make a reservation and the woman who answered the phone was rude. She…read moredidn't even answer the phone like a business. I had to ask if it was a campground. She didn't want to make the reservation for me because it was too far out and she said she didn't want to kick out her full-timers for someone only wanting to stay for a weekend. I was trying to book a year out, but maybe she has full-timers staying more than a year out or something, not sure. She wouldn't explain it to me, so I had to hang up. If this rude over the phone, I can only imagine what it must be like in person if you need assistance while camping.

    The folks running this campsite may not have been in the business long but I tell you what... I've…read morebeen to several campsites now and this is one of the best I've been to. It's not huge but they have a lot to offer! We went this week, so fall, so we weren't able to go tubing but we were able to go kayaking which was so great! Now this kayaking isn't like huge rapids or anything, in fact it is more of a slow pace with a few blips of tiny rapids. So pace is left completely up to you, and since this was my first time kayaking I really enjoyed getting the feel of the kayak without having to worry about being spilled out. The Campsite was really spacious, there was plenty of firewood available if we needed it and there was plenty brought over to our campsite for our use. They had an awning that was used for other things during the summer I guess we were able to use over our pick-nick table which was really great since we had a lot of stuff and the back of our car doubled as a second tent for our third person. Cooking was a bit of a challenge since there weren't any built in grates for the fire rings but we were able to figure something out so it all worked out. The bathroom was just a shower and toilet/sink room however the lighting system was well set up and (at least in the fall) was never so busy we ever had to wait. Also, it was extremely clean! We stayed here because it was the closest campsite to the place where we were picking up a puppy but we were so happy with Something Squatchy Adventures we plan to visit next year! PS. Prices were great and they're pet friendly!
