After leaving Tennessee we stopped by Hungry Mother State Park in Virginia for a few days. Both of us had apparently been here in our youth but neither of us really remembered it, so it was fun to explore a bit. We stayed at Camp Burson, which is a state park campground but accessed before the main entrance to the park. Online it appeared to be the only campground that could accommodate our size RV, but looking at the other RV campground inside the park I think we could have fit. Our campsite was decently spacious with a large gravel 'living area' and fire pit, and had easy access to the Lake Trail.

We were only at the park for a couple days. The first day we explored the southeast side of the lake trail, and the second Aaron's family came to hang out, hike a little more, and see the RV all set up for camping.

This was a nice little stop with a pretty lake and interesting history with the
Civilian Conservation Corps - it was one of the initial state parks developed in Virginia. We enjoyed our short stay and now it's time to start heading south in earnest!
