Who are the Friends of Pocahontas State Park?

​Our  mission:

The mission of this 501c(3) organization is to operate on a non-profit basis, specializing in providing volunteer assistance to Pocahontas State Park. We shall provide labor and funding for programs and events that are in accordance with the mutual interests of both the Friends of Pocahontas State Park and Pocahontas State Park

Volunteer hours accrued (logged in to the DCR database) will allow volunteers to earn benefits such as free camping, free parking passes, and other rewards.   Members of the FoPSP support the park by assisting staff, performing improvement projects, and coordinating with other organizations associated with the park.
