GuideThis is a nice little campground. They have sites with electricity and water hook-ups, just electric hook-ups and some with out either. The sites are very well maintained and with all of the trees, they feel pretty secluded and spaced out. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nature get away.
ScoutTruly a gem of a place if your on two wheels. The sites are perfect for tents and plenty of trees if hammocks are more your thing. The amenities are clean and work well. No complaints about anything other than not having a fireplace at your site, but there is a big community firepit.
TravelerSuper simple. Big space and only 3 camping families tops. We had only one other - Yes please! Creek was so clear. BYO water and food. Fished, grilled, relaxed, kids went full feral for 24 hours. Everyone slept like logs and woke up to the creek. 5 stars always.
TravelerJust book. You will survive a night or two without electricity. Just plan accordingly. This was our third camping experience, we are learning as we go! This is the spot we wished we camped our first try. No cars on property is the bonus. Waking up to the creek is in fast the payoff! We had a waterfall to ourselves most of the time. Fishing was good (nothing too big, but plentiful). Walk up and down the creek through the neighbor's properties on both sides (which is legal), what amazing land! EB JEFFRESS is like 15 minutes away for hiking and a waterfall.
TravelerI don't know much about the location other than i worked as a sub-contractor for Direct TV and had to service someone at the place and it was really pretty and everyone was super nice was 4th of July and they do a fireworks show of their own. It has been hard to find since but wanted to make sure it got the attention it deserves. it may be more of a vacation rent the lots by the season I'm not 100% sure.
ScoutHas a very peaceful environment
ScoutPool, Level sites, nice restrooms., cable. Easy on off highway. Quiet area.
ScoutThere are a number of sites. Most with rock fire rings. Most also back up to the creek. There is zero cell service. I was able to get spotty, but serviceable starlink. There was traffic on the gravel road from adventure motorcycles. You can utilize the dumpsters in the established Hurricane campground. Overall, I did enjoy a very peaceful stay.
RangerThis RV/tent camp is in beautiful Fancy Gap, Va. It’s just a few minutes from the entrance toof the Blue ridge Parkway. It has water,sewer, 30/50 on each site. Shore trip to Walmart , Food Lion, and local restaurant’s. Less expensive for the area.

Hiking to waterfalls: 1.5 miles from Sandy Creek. At Sandy Creek Family Campground, visitors can access Stone Mountain State Park's waterfall trails directly. "Our sites were creek side.

Wildlife sightings: Deer are common at most campgrounds. Many campers report regular wildlife encounters. "We camped at RV site 40 and I think it's the best.

Proximity to Blue Ridge Parkway: Easy scenic drives. Several campgrounds provide quick access to this famous scenic route. "I was looking for a campground in the latter half of April and so many of the NF and NP campgrounds were not yet open... located this KOA just off the Blue Ridge Parkway that was ideally located for my exploration of the area," explains Jean C. about Fancy Gap-Blue Ridge Parkway KOA.
Water pressure varies by location and season. Some sites have limited water service. At Fries New RiverTrail RV Park, one camper noted: "Even though we were in the back, the wifi worked great the entire time. Being at the end of the water line for the park, our pressure wasn't great so we used our fresh water tank and water pump for showers."
Campsite spacing differs significantly between parks. Some offer privacy while others prioritize community. "The campgrounds were perfect for a few days and there were enough hiking trails around to keep us busy. Most of the trails were very easy, but the view on top of Stone Mountain was nice," shares Maggie J. about the varied terrain.
Cash payment required at some locations. Not all campgrounds accept credit cards. "We were close to Mayberry but we were on our way to Florida for a rocket launch. Campground was nice, clean and well kept! The checkin was easy BUT we had to have CASH," explains Ralph L. about Mayberry Campground.
Playground options: Multiple campgrounds have play areas. Sandy Creek Family Campground features kid-friendly facilities.

Multi-generational activities: Varied difficulty levels. Trail systems accommodate different abilities and interests. "Jump on the AT or any number of other trails for a multi day or just a simple day hike. The wild ponies make this area so special and worth the drive," notes Kevin G. about Hickory Ridge Campground.
