The scenic 7,724-acre park is located five miles from the Chesterfield County Courthouse in the center of Chesterfield County. Park amenities include picnic shelters, a heritage center and an amphitheater complex, all of which are available for meetings, conferences and special events. Park offerings include a swimming pool, boating, bicycling, hiking, and individual and group camping. Pocahontas State Park has been named one of the top 10 campsites in the United States by the editors of Citysearch, an Internet local-search service. Rental rates for cabins and camping vary by season. Please visit the web site for more detail.
In honor of the men who worked to build Virginia State Parks, the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation has opened a new museum at Pocahontas State Park, the Civilian Conservation Corps Museum. Historic photographs and personal mementos are carefully displayed in an original Civilian Conservation Corps building. Visitors may learn about the dedication and sacrifice in the words and letters of the men whose contributions will last forever. Museum hours vary seasonally.
The park is open from dawn to dusk year-round. The campground is open March 1 through the first Sunday in December.
