Came for the Christmas lights experience. It was a lot of fun (fire pits, free marshmallows, letters to Santa, create your own ornament) and the tunnel is pretty incredible. I recommend riding the chairlift back up.Restrooms: Conveniently located at top and bottom

Fantastic journey through a magical Christmas wonderland complete with lights, music, Santa, food, and the natural beauty of the tunnel. Everything from the shuttle to the chair lift ride was planned extremely well. The lines moved quickly and efficiently. Visitors as well as staff seemed to be having a great time. I can't wait to return.

Very nice in the fall. Camping facilities are clean and well kept. The weekend before Halloween, they had Appalachian storytelling and music on the platform at the base of the gorge/tunnel entrance. It was unique and fun. A lot of good, friendly people here.

Wonderful place! My family went here for Sukkot. The mountains were beautiful!! Our cabin was clean … cleaner than most hotels. My only complaint were the stink bugs cause we were near the woods. We hiked the mountain (which I do not recommend in flats, lesson learned, easy to hike down, had to take several stops going up) as well as took the lift (a short ride)to see the tunnel. So many nearby places to visit and see as well. I would definitely like to go again sometime.Picnic area: Lots of picnic areas and space. Saw a few parties just passing by.

Nice state park. The chair lift was closed and store they were only open on weekends when we visited. Hiked to the bottom it wasn't to bad. Got lucky and a train came by it was pretty cool. Little cabin is down there also.Dog-friendliness: Pups on leash

We had lots of fun as a family exploring and seeing the tunnel. There is also a cabin that is from 1774. It's very cool to see. Kids had fun playing in the water. We used the ski lift to go down to the tunnel and back up. They also have a small information area and a gift shop back up at the top. They charge a daily fee to come in and park $5 per car. And there is an optional trail instead of the ski lift. We opted to pay to use ski lift for both ways $5 per person. Overall, we had lots of fun and will be back.

Awesome sights all around. The view from lover's leap was breathtaking and great views from below also. Alot of stairs to the bottom (lift only runs on the weekend now). And if you're lucky (I was), a train will come thru.

This park is a little-known gem and after one visit, it is one of my favorite Virginia State Parks. Amidst rugged (and somewhat remote) terrain, the scenery is beautiful. The highlight feature is the natural tunnel through the mountain, upon which a railroad line has been laid. Take the chairlift down to the tracks at the tunnel entrance for the best view. The park also has several well marked and maintained trails, offering nice scenery. We stayed in the campground; there are also yurts and cabins to stay in.

Nice park, chair lift was fun, so was the cave tour. We rented a cabin which was a pretty deal good and dog friendly! The devils bathtub hike is very popular in the summer so parking was hard and the site a bit crowded.

The people who work here are extremely friendly. This was my third trip to the park, trying to catch a train. So far, I've failed, but I'll keep on trying. Eventually, it will happen. I am very happy to see the chair lift back in service on this visit. I could just ride on that all day and be happy.Restrooms: The facilities down by the tracks definitely leave something to be desired however at least there's something available. Bring some napkins just in case...

I had a wonderful visit at the park. I camped for three nights. The park is so interesting with the train tunnel. I ran most of the trails which were in very good condition. I think this park has the most picnic areas of any park I have visited. The campground was totally clean and the camp host was fantastic. It's a wonderful destination and will certainly be returning.

Stayed at “Lovers Leap” campground. The sites were not level, but not so bad that some leveling blocks couldn’t fix. Power, water, gravel site with picnic table, fire ring, and trash pole. All well maintained. There was also a decent amount of space in-between so you didn’t feel like you were on top of your neighbor. The tunnel and trails were interesting to see/use, but the cave tour was the show stealer. Such a quiet and beautiful place!

Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful natural wonder of the earth!!! We visited on railroad day so we actually went into the tunnel. Do not attempt to walk back up the path unless you are in pristine physical shape. I literally thought I was going to die. Ride the chair lift. Ride. The. Chair. Lift. Honestly the only issue and it wasn’t really an issue was that the girls working the chair lift were rude in the form of just staring at me and my daughter. I thought there was an issue with my weight (165lbs) by the way they were looking at me so I said to them. “Y’all are giving me anxiety over this by staring at us is there an issue?” Absolutely no reply. So other than that we had a great time.

Generally it was a nice experience! We loved the chairlift option for the people who don’t want to hike up and down! We walked down and up on the hike and the hike wasn’t that hard! We found some raspberries and they were really delicious! The park was very clean, people were very friendly! The tunnel and the view are amazing! Overall, we enjoyed our little trip at the Natural Tunnel Park!

We were there for Railroad Day so we could walk on the tracks the only time of the year to do so. The green moss on the rocks was magical. We took the chairlift down and walked back up. We then walked the Tunnel Trail back to the picnic area where we were parked. We had a great time! We were told you can do guided walks through the tunnel via the creek several times a week.
