WELCOME TO HOLLIDAY LAKE STATE PARK. To make your visit
safe and more pleasant, we ask that you observe
the following:
Take only pictures, leave only footprints. Park in
designated areas only. Please note there is a parking
fee charged year-round at all Virginia State Parks. Honor
parking information is found at the park entrance.
PRESERVE – Help preserve your park. Please don’t cut or
mar any plants or trees. Collecting animal or plant life is
allowed only for scientific purposes by permit from the
Richmond headquarters. Don’t feed any wild animals.
ALCOHOL - State law permits alcohol use only in private
areas (inside your cabin or camping unit) or in areas
designated on permits issued by the Virginia Department
of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
PETS - Pets are permitted in enclosed areas or on a leash
no longer than 6 feet. Please clean up after your pet. Pets
may not be left unattended at any time.
DRONES AND OTHER AIRCRAFT - Drones, other unmanned
aerial vehicles, including remote control aircraft, and aircraft in general may not be flown in state parks pursuant
to 4VAC5-30-400.
LITTER - Please help us keep the park clean by placing
litter and recyclables in the proper receptacles and recycle
centers or carrying out your trash.
FIRE - Help prevent wildfires. Fires must be confined to
grills, camp stoves or designated fire rings. Fires must
be attended at all times and extinguished when left.
Firewood is generally available for purchase at the park.
Campers and guests may collect only down and dead
firewood. We enforce all seasonal and emergency bans on
open fires.
POLLUTION - Help reduce pollution. Dump stations,
laundry sinks and slop sinks, where available, are for
the proper disposal of wastewater. Please, no boat, RV
or car washing.
SWIMMING - Where available, swimming areas are generally open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day
weekend, weather permitting. Swim or wade only in designated swimming areas and at designated times. Children in swimming areas must wear sealed plastic pants
over diapers. Disposable swim pants are recommended
and available for purchase at the parks. Swimming or
wading in unguarded areas may be hazardous because of
swift currents, sudden drop-offs or unseen obstructions.
FISHING - Where fishing is permitted, valid Virginia fishing licenses are required. Specific licenses are required for
saltwater and trout-water fishing. Please call the park in
advance for specifics.
GUESTS - Your guests are our guests. For everyone’s safety
and security, please register all visitors with the park
office. Visitors will not be admitted to camping and cabin
areas unless so identified. Visitors are permitted only
between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
QUIET HOURS - Quiet hours are between 10 p.m. and 6
a.m. The use of generators is prohibited at all times.
CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT POLICY
Check-out 1 p.m.
Camping:
Check-in 4 p.m.
Cabins:
Check-in 4 p.m.
Check-out 10 a.m.
In many cases, campers may be accommodated prior to
the official check-in. Please remember that only those 18
or older may register. The registrant is responsible for
all occupants of the campsite or cabin. Feel free to arrive
early and enjoy park amenities prior to check-in.
If you decide to leave the park before the end of your
overnight stay, you may be entitled to a refund based on
how much of your stay has already been used and any
fees due. Once you check in for your cabin or camping
stay, that night is considered used. If you are camping,
we take what you paid, subtract the fees for the nights
used and then subtract one additional night. The balance is due as a refund. This means if you have only a
two-night stay, you will not receive a refund if you leave
one night early. If you are in a cabin or lodge, the policy
is different. First, we always keep at least the first two
nights’ fees. Second, we keep $30 per night for a cabin
($60 per night for a lodge) for each night you didn’t stay
and subtract that from the fee for any unused nights
beyond the two-night minimum. If you started out with
a week stay, you received a discount when you made the
reservation. If you end up not staying the entire week,
your fee will be recalculated at the higher, nightly fee
rate. This means that if you have a week stay and leave
one night early, no refund will be made.
PARKING - Only two motor vehicles, as well as the camp-
ing unit, are permitted on a campsite without incurring
additional fees. Cabin guests are allowed two vehicles for
a one or two-bedroom cabin, three vehicles for a threebedroom cabin and six vehicles for a six-bedroom cabin
per day without an additional parking fee charge. Those
with additional vehicles must pay the established parking
fee for each day the vehicle is in the park. The number of
vehicles allowed to park at the cabin varies according to
site design and other factors. All vehicles must be parked
in designated areas, either at the cabin or in the designated overflow parking area. Primitive and hike-in sites
may have park specific parking restrictions.

VIRGINIA STATE PARKS ARE A TONIC
FOR THE MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT.
Museums, visitor centers and
nearby historic sites make state
parks cultural treasures.
The recreational opportunities in
state parks are endless and easy to
see – from swimming and boating
to horseshoes and hiking, there’s
always something to do in a
Virginia State Park.
CAMPING - Camping is allowed only in designated campgrounds and only after following the proper check-in
procedure described in the Reservation and Fees Guide
available at the park office.
Campsite occupancy is for a maximum of six people
or the number of people in a single household. Two
camping units are allowed per campsite; only one axled
camper is allowed per site. All camping units, equipment and vehicles must be placed within the perimeter of the designated campsite without infringing on
adjoining campsites or vegetation. Where high impact
areas are designated, all camping units, equipment and
vehicles must be within the defined borders of the high
impact area. Park in designated areas only.
