Westmoreland State Park Campground sits at 177 feet elevation along Virginia's Potomac River shoreline. The 10-site campground offers both tent and RV camping with electric and water hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables. Mature trees provide partial shade across most sites, and the park's Fossil Beach and Big Meadow Trail are accessible from the campground.
Campground 151 accommodates tent camping and RV sites, with some offering water and electric hookups. Group camping and cabin lodging are unavailable.
Weather and SeasonsSpring delivers the best camping conditions, with daytime temperatures between 55 and 75°F from mid-March through May. Nights stay cool, humidity drops, and wildflowers emerge under the mature canopy. Trails are pleasant for hiking, though early-season mud appears on some paths after rain. Ticks are active during this period. Weekend crowds pick up in spring, but weekdays remain quieter. The park occasionally closes its gates on busy holiday weekends when capacity is reached.

Natural Features and SceneryMature hardwoods create a natural canopy over the campground, offering partial shade throughout the day. The Potomac River shoreline defines the park's eastern boundary, and Fossil Beach provides access to sediment layers containing ancient marine fossils. Big Meadow Trail winds through mixed habitat near the campground. The terrain is level enough for comfortable tent setup, with gravel underfoot at most sites. Tree cover moderates summer heat but opens enough to allow sunlight into individual sites.
