Reviewed By urbanguy - Richmond, United States
This 103 acre site is "owned" by Virginia's DCR (Dept. of Conservation and Recreation). It is less than 4 miles from Heathsville, VA, in Northumberland County. The parking lot is small, maybe for 5 or 6 cars. There is a very nice trail that meanders through a dense forest until it comes down to the water level of Bush Mill Stream. A side trail, the Heron Loop, brings you to an observation platform above a beautiful marsh. But, bring insect spray!

Spent a lovely 5 August days at Westmoreland State Park. The housekeeping cabins are clean and cozy. The beaches are lovely, we found a few shark teeth at Fossil Beach. We hiked all the trails, rented kayaks, swam in the river. The park was not crowded. Masks were required in the visitor center and camp store. We saw plenty of wildlife on our walks - including deer, osprey, eagles, snakes, turtles and bats. Staying in the cabins was very relaxing. We brought cleaning supplies and paper towels - along with linens and food. The kitchen was stocked with dishes and basic cooking utensils. We didn't need anything that want provided to make our meals. The cabin was equipped with a decent AC - though a little loud at night. Park provides each cabin with one bundle og firewood. Additional bundles can be purchased.

Natural reserve that consists of 213 acres of pine forests and a beach on Chesapeake Bay.
Reviewed By DLW-VA
After a nice quiet walk through the woods (a little muddy after it rains), and over boardwalk covered marshes you make your way to the water's edge. Had a very peaceful, relaxing day walking the beach and exploring the beautiful serene surroundings. The only drawback is there is no restroom, so make note of that before visiting.
