Virginia State parks new site specific policy
Anyone here who camps at the VA state parks have an opinion on this? One of the reasons we enjoy the state parks was the fact that the reservations were non-specific. We like camping 4 or 5 nights ...

Funny you started this thread, as I'm totally frustrated with the Reserve America in regards to VSPs. I was looking into visiting Douthat this fall, for the first time ever, but the system employed by Reserve America is awful. It looks like the entire CG is full, when the folks at their campground office told me it's not the case at all. Makes things difficult for first time visitors to any park....I like being able to drive in and scope out the best of what's available when I get there. Like others have mentioned, that seems to be a thing of the past and it's no good.
Douthat is a gorgeous park and area. If you have a decent size RV, you are going to want to stay in the Whispering Pines section. The furthest from the lake, but the newest section. I imagine during the fall "leaf colors" season, the place fills up completely.
I may end up at Bolar Mountain (another Reserve America system) if I can't resolve the Douthat SP confusion. We're looking to visit an area we've never been too.
