Camp Roosevelt in VA -- Campground & RV Camping

Camp Roosevelt Campground stands on the historic site of the nation's first Civilian Conservation Corps camp, where visitors can walk past the remaining building foundations. Looming oak trees shade the campground loop and adjacent picnic area. Facilities include portable restrooms set near the loop, but no drinking water is available on site.
