Beautiful park. quiet and clean. We love taking food with us to have small picnic there
Absolutely on the beautiful and varied side of a state park. The elevation makes it special on the east coast. It's well manicured, clean, and very pretty.
Beautiful Park, lots of trails, history, and agriculture. Well worth the stop, and/or bring a picnic and spend the day!
This place is amazing. Plenty of hiking trails. Also the views are amazing. It is what it says it is. Meadows that are up high. Definitely a different kind of viewpoint from what I’m used to in this area. Also they have a clean toilet.
In the tapestry of Virginia’s beauty, there's a gem that shines brighter after sundown - the Sky Meadows State Park. This splendid slice of nature, with its carpet of green by day and a blanket of stars by night, is a true testament to the glory of the great outdoors.
Our recent visit was an adventure in celestial beauty. As the day surrendered to the night, the park transformed into a stage for the stars, each one twinkling with a light show that could rival any Broadway production. It was a spectacle that left us in awe, our gazes pinned to the heavens, counting more stars than we thought possible in one lifetime.
Yet, Sky Meadows is more than just a stargazer's paradise. By day, it unfurls into an idyllic setting for a picnic, with spots that offer more than just a patch of grass. They are invitations to connect with nature, to breathe in the clean air, and to let the tranquillity seep into your bones.
We couldn't explore the full extent of the park's offerings this time, but the camping experience is already on our bucket list for the next visit. From what we've seen and experienced so far, we know it's going to be another date with nature’s grandeur.
If you're in Virginia, and the call of the wild resonates with you, or if you're just looking for a place to marvel at the universe’s nightly performance, Sky Meadows State Park should be your destination. Trust me, the stars look better here.

By far the most beautiful state park I have visited in Virginia. The varied topology and splendid lush green meadows comforts the feet like a carpet. There are plenty of trails, we started on the Piedmont trail followed by the North Ridge trail to South Ridge before merging back to Boston Mill Road.
The entire experience was a WoW.
Pictures do not do justice, so do visit the park and enjoy Nature at its best.

First time here today, extremely scenic and peaceful trails (dog friendly too), with blooming eastern redbud all over the rolling hills. Can’t wait to come back for more hiking and family friendly activities. PS: paid online since no staff at the park entrance to collect the fees.
