Description
Westmoreland offers Camping from March 1 to the first Monday in December. Reservations may be made over the Internet. A reservation guarantees you a site of the type reserved in the campground but not a specific site or campground. The park assigns sites upon arrival to best meet the needs of the campers. The Park also offers 3 buddy sites & a large group tent area that can be reserved. The park will make every effort to accommodate campers wishing to be located on adjacent sites; however if more than 2 sites are involved we recommend reserving a buddy or group tent site. 2 picnic shelters are available for rent by calling the Reservation Center.

Alerts and Important Information
Notice for Campers
LEAVE YOUR FIREWOOD AT HOME!!
A firewood quarantine has been established for the following localities: counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier, Louden, and Prince William; and the entire cities of Alexandria, Fairfax City, Falls Church, Manassas, and Manassas Park. It is unlawful to transport firewood from these localities. In general, firewood can harbor insect pests under the bark and in the wood. The transport of infested firewood has been identified as a leading cause in the introduction of harmful forest insects into un-infested forest areas. Help us keep our state parks pest free by leaving your firewood at home.

- Between Aug 14 to Labor Day each year, many of our parks that offer swimming may experience a shortage of qualified lifeguards, resulting in swimming being available on Saturdays and Sundays only (closed Monday-Friday). Swimming is available Saturday, Sunday and Monday of Labor Day weekend. If your park trip depends on swimming daily, we advise you to reserve at another time. We apologize for the inconvenience. There is no refund to overnight guests when swimming is not available. from Aug 14 2008 to Sep 01 2008
- Pursuant to Code of Virginia, no fire of any sort is permitted, including charcoal, between February 15 and April 30, except between the hours of 4PM to midnight. This includes campgrounds and picnic area / cabin grills. Camping stoves that are self-contained are permitted (ex. Coleman Stove). from Feb 15 2009 to Apr 30 2009
- The construction of the new building will reduce users access to the open field &/or the overlook. Construction processes & noise will impact the guest's visual & audiotory enjoyment.
This project will also include redoing the roadway from Murphy Hall, including Murphy Hall's Parking Lot, to the Big Meadows Field & Trailhead. We hope to keep available Murphy Hall (even though Parking may be in grassy fields adjacent to the hall) and cabins 19-25 (even though there may be time periods of travel across unpaved areas). The timing of road construction will also effect access to the Park's current visitor center-amphitheater & to the Big Meadows trailhead. from Jul 01 2009 to May 31 2010
- Construction work will begin July 1st. This will impact the parking lot at Murphy Hall. Parking will be moved to the nearby field. from Jul 01 2009 to Jul 01 2011
