We decided to take the RV to Pocahontas State Park for the weekend to enjoy a warm weekend after discovering on the actual Park website that half of the campground was still open. Virginia State Park Campgrounds are normally closed on Dec 1st for the season and reopen March 1st of the next year. We booked a reservation direct with the Park and had to choose a Lot in the white-marked areas that were not site-specific. I thought Lot #101 was a good spot, looking relatively flat and was close to a bath house. Turned out it was close to flat as I was only off one inch in the back which was easy to level out.
