Claytor Lake State Park Picnic Areas

About

Claytor Lake State Park Picnic Areas offer seven day-use shelters for group gatherings on Virginia's scenic 4,500-acre Claytor Lake. The shelters range in capacity from 30 to 100 people and are available for reservation year-round, though shelters 6 and 7 at the beach bathhouse operate only from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Most shelters include 12-foot or 8-foot picnic tables, electrical outlets, water spigots, fireplace or pedestal grills, and nearby horseshoe pits. Restrooms are within walking distance of all shelters, ranging from 140 to 470 feet away. Shelters 1 and 4 are universally accessible with paved pathways and ramps. These facilities are strictly day-use with park hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. No overnight camping is permitted at the picnic areas. For overnight stays, visitors must use the park's separate campgrounds, cabins, yurts, or lodge facilities.
