Falkland Farms Hunts

Closed — This is a managed hunting area rather than a traditional campground. DCR offered managed deer hunts in November 2024. The property is still being developed for broader public access and recreation.

About

The Falkland Farms hunting area encompasses nearly 7,400 acres of preserved woodland in Halifax County, representing the largest private land conservation donation in Virginia history. The property was donated to the Commonwealth in 2021 and adjoins both Staunton River State Park and Difficult Creek Natural Area Preserve, creating the largest DCR-owned property to date. Historically known as one of the best hunting preserves in the region, the property features abundant mature forests, water resources, and diverse wildlife including deer, turkey, and waterfowl. Virginia State Parks now manages the property for conservation and limited public hunting access through managed hunt programs. The area is still under development for future public recreation activities, with long-term plans to integrate it more fully with Staunton River State Park amenities.
