The Augusta County Parks and Recreation Department is excited to announce the reopening of Natural Chimneys Park's Campground on Wednesday, July 22. Online reservations are currently open at www.naturalchimneys.net. Phone reservations will be available beginning Monday, July 20, through the parks' visitor center phone number, 540-350-2510.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have modified our procedures and regulations in order to protect the health of our campers. Please note the important guidelines listed below. 

Enhanced Camper Safety Guidelines - No one with a fever or symptoms of COVID-19, or known exposure to a COVID-19 case in the prior 14 days, is permitted on the premises. For the health and safety of all, please maintain proper social distancing of at least 6 feet at all times. Wearing a face covering in public places, including when outside your campsite, is strongly suggested, and is mandatory at indoor public places. 

Campsite Availability - In order to provide the safest environment for our campers and ensure safe physical distancing, we are only opening 61 of our campsites for this season. See below map for site availability. 

Check-In procedures - Incoming campers must have their primary occupant check-in upon arrival. Check-in time is 2:00 p.m. and check-out time is 12:00 p.m. No early check-ins or late check-outs will be allowed. 

Enhanced Cleaning & Sanitization - We have increased our sanitation measures for all facilities and touch points to help ensure the well-being of our guests and staff. Facilities will be closed while being cleaned and sanitized. We ask for your patience and understanding during these important procedures. 

Day Guests for Campers - Limited day guests for campers are allowed, but all day guests must be registered.

Thank you for your cooperation with these important safety measures. We recommend that all visitors to Natural Chimneys wear a mask, wash hands frequently, and remain conscientious of their impact on the places and people they interact with. Together we can keep the park safe for your enjoyment!

The Natural Chimneys Pool will remain closed.
