We were both wrong. Chickahominy Riverfront Park is not state and not commercial; it's a county park. I knew it was not a state setup but it's surprising since I don't know of any other county parks around here that offer camping, although I have stayed in them in other states. While it gets good reviews and evidently has some nice facilities, I still think it's too much to pay for an overnight camping space when cycletouring.
