About
National Forest
Blue Ridge Campground is located about 5 miles north of Blue Ridge Reservoir, as the crow flies. It is about 10 miles by road. This narrow, winding body of water looks more like a canyon-bound river than a lake. Nestled between forested canyon walls it provides picturesque water recreation in a secluded, wooded setting. If fishing is your cup of tea, you can catch rainbow, brown or brook trout here.
There's plenty to do for everyone, including sightseeing, wildlife watching, hiking, and mountain biking available here in these canyon-carved uplands. If just talking about all this activity makes you want to kick back and relax with nothing more strenuous to do than watch the squirrels bury pine seeds, then one of these shady, forested areas is probably just the place for you.

Only rating this 4 stars cause I broke my femur and pelvis out there. Had a fantastic time though!
GuideGreat campground
The camp hosts Chris and Jerry are wonderful. The camp was very clean and well managed. Each camp was like a little zen garden. Manicured very well and organized. The community toilets even smelled good!
TravelerSmall but good location
This campsite is very small and you can see everything going on in almost all of the other sites, all of the time. Aside from that, well kept, friendly camp host and a short drive from Blue Ridge Reservoir (C.C. Cragen). Has been fully renovated in the past few years will all new tables and tent pads. Must be a creek bed nearby as there were a lot of gnats and other bugs in the evenings/mornings.
Only one set of toilets for the entire site so this can get busy. Short drive to Clint's Well for supplies if needed, including water and firewood.
