About Machicomoco State Park

Set in southern Gloucester County along the York River, this 645-acre park highlights Virginia Indian history through an open-air pavilion and a walking path through native plantings. Visitors can follow paved and gravel trails, watch for deer, turkeys, songbirds, and birds of prey, and use a car-top boat launch. The campground offers vehicle sites, walk-in tent sites, and three yurts, and two picnic shelters are available to rent.
