Forest Service to Open Hidden Valley and Blowing Springs Campgrounds

The George Washington & Jefferson National Forests will open Blowing Springs and Hidden Valley campgrounds on the James River and Warm Springs Ranger Districts on March 17, 2022.

Blowing Springs and Hidden Valley campgrounds are available on a first come, first-served basis and require cash fees.

Many of the area’s recreation sites, including hiking and biking trails, are open year-round.

Visitors should note that the Blowing Springs roadside portal sign is down, and a replacement sign is on order.

The Forest Service recently conducted prescribed burns in several fields at Hidden Valley, with more to be completed this spring, to improve habitat in this popular fishing, hiking, and hunting area.

Please check the Forests’ website for updated information: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recmain/gwj/recreation
