Laurel Creek RV Park

Cyclists and hikers heading to the Virginia Creeper Trail have a direct staging point at Laurel Creek RV Park, where sites sit alongside the creek and within walking distance of Damascus's restaurants, bike shops, and shuttle companies. The campground accommodates RVs up to 55 feet with full hookups, water, electric, and sewer, and reservations are available. No bathrooms or showers are on-site, so self-contained rigs are a better fit than tent setups requiring facilities.

The creek runs directly beside most sites. A few spots up the hill give open sightlines above the water. Stephanie W. notes "lovely, creekside spaces and a few up the hill with views," with blue jays, cardinals, and other birds active around the sites. The owner draws consistent praise across reviews, and the location makes it easy to walk into town after a day on the trail.

One detail worth knowing: the park sustained significant flood damage in September 2024 and has been working to rebuild. Campers who visited in spring 2025 found it operational, though conditions may continue to evolve. Checking current status before booking makes sense. Nearby options in Damascus Brewery and Trail Days Tent Town give additional choices if the park is at capacity during busy events like Appalachian Trail Days. Those planning a broader trip can also browse places to camp around Damascus for a fuller picture of what's available in the area.
