Mattaponi WMA Sandpit Pines Parking area

Nice love hunting here

Fun little place

Went camping for one night here in April. This was my first time visiting a WMA. I definitely recommend this place for camping with a few caveats.
The trails here are not very scenic, they are wide and grassy and simply meant to get from point A to B. Being that there very few trails here, finding a camping spot can be a bit tricky. I took my motorcycle here and drove down the gravel road and back through the wide grassy trails until the trail ended. Then I bushwhacked through the briers and foliage for about 1/3 of a mile until I reached a spot nearby the small river.
Couple things of note - the places I was here seemed extremely unused. I barely saw any signs of anybody being there.
There are train tracks nearby so you will hear trains off and on throughout the night. If you're camping, I recommend bringing something blaze orange because these grounds are hunted. From where I was I would guess the fishing would be rather lackluster because the river was more of a creek at my location. I didn't see much poison ivy but I did see a lot of ticks. Obviously there are no camping amenities here but the town of bowling green is nearby.

Tons of deer. I love this area. There are ample deer and many opportunities for quality bucks. I routinely kill big bucks during rifle season at this WMA. Also, there are hardly ever any other hunters out there. A true hidden gem.
