Event information
Campground office is open 7 am to 7 pm daily. The walk trail will be primarily along park nature trails and park roads. One of the largest municipal parks in the country, this magnificent 8,000 acre-oasis is home to an incredible variety of native wildlife - deer, foxes, otter, raccoon and beaver, to name a few - all found in a natural setting of lush woodlands, flowering meadows and shimmering lakes. Its unique natural beauty makes Newport News Park a favorite destination for campers who love the great outdoors - and the convenience of being just moments away from the multitude of activities and attractions the surrounding area provides.
