The Best Camping Near Natural Bridge, Virginia

Had an to stop early and they were very accommodating. 

Quiet and Clean

We had originally booked to stay at another campground nearby and that one turned out pretty bad and we found this one after staying in a hotel for a night. We walked up and got 2 sites on the spot for a reasonable price. They had excellent camp sites. The grounds were well taken care of, clean facilities and friendly staff.

Saved our weekend!

Stayed here for Spring Break in 2015 and then agaIn In 2016.  The entire campground was nice and well cared for. We stayed in one of the cabins. The location isn’t great, but it was a 45 minute drive to some great hiking locations to include McAfee Knob. 

Nice cabins

Located in a beautiful part of central Virginia, this campground gives you lots of options for sightseeing. It is definitely worth a trip to the Natural Bridge. 
The nearby town of Lexington has many historic buildings, and the town seems very dog-friendly. 
The campground is kept very clean, and the staff is very helpful. However, the sites are small and not leveled well. Although my camper is only 15’ long, I ran out of shims trying to level my rig. I watched a fifth wheeler spend two hours trying to position his rig so that it could be leveled. 
The store is friendly, but doesn’t stock much variety. Given the beauty of the area, I would go back, but I would insist on seeing the site before trying to set up. 
There is a wonderful country store (Lynne’s) close buy with great produce and meats. 
Be sure to check out the famous Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington. 

Needs Improvement

This was a nice place to stay, Natural Bridge is a small town and not to crazy. Beautiful area but not much to do, there is a small museum and the natural bridge. You have to pay to hike and it is kind of expensive. It was nice to stay there for a night but I wouldn’t stay longer than that.

Small but sweet

I selected this site. because it was near Natural Bridge and all that it has to offer. There were not a lot of options in the area so I bit the bullet and paid $30 for a site for the evening. While the facility was typical of a KOA I was not entirely impressed by the overall price to amenity ratio, especially after seeing other campgrounds in Virginia along this trip and their price being so vastly different.

Let me just give a full disclosure on this…. There are tent sites which cost less here, BUT there are only 5 of them in the entire campground so if you end up there on a weekend don't count on them being open at all. I even checked just for a reference of how booked they are and even checking some 2 weeks in advance on a random week day the same results appeared, NO BOOKINGS.

During summertime I can see how this place would attract a lot of people with the pool and various options, but in my opinion that does not offset the price point. And RV sites, which are more costly looked hard to get into with larger units.

My site was even and pretty basic despite having electricity. It was just across from the deluxe cabins and close to the restroom which I liked. Everything seemed well lit at night.

This campground being my hub only I did enjoy that it was very close to the town of Lexington itself as well as Natural Bridge, which is a pretty cool site with a lot of interesting history as well.

TIPS:

*   If you want a primitive site book well in advance. These are apparently quite a difficult ticket to score at this camp.
*   Call ahead about RV lengths to make sure you are booking the correct site for your size. I noticed more than a few people struggling with their units and some of this could have been avoided with proper booking.
*   Check into local sites!! There is a zoo and dinosaur area as well as the Natural Bridge, hiking and a historic downtown.

A bit expensive for no more than it was

First, middle of summer, no big issue! Was a stopover trip on our way to Pigeon Forge. nice canmpground and pool. Very close to Natural Bridge.

Great place!

We stayed at the Natural Bridge KOA for one night on our way further north and loved it!

They opened the pool a week early, and although the water was still ICE COLD (75 degrees?), the kids loved it. There is a game room in the basement of the campground store with some arcade games, pool and ping pong table, and air hockey. Each thing takes quarters so be sure to bring some. 

Your site number is assigned at check-in and you are escorted to your site from the front office. 

There is a fenced dog park. The playground is a bit dated. However they make up for that with the bathroom and laundry facilities, which were absolutely AMAZING. 

The park is a short drive from Natural Bridge State Park (pictures included), the Pink Cadillac Diner (Elvis themed, great food, pictures included), and the Caverns at Natural Bridge (we missed the last tour by 20 minutes, unfortunately!). It’s right off of I-81 and very easy to access. 

Our site was a pull through with water and electric. The site was level and had a picnic table and fire ring. Sites are pretty close to each other but not so close that you feel like you’re in someone else’s space. 

The whole park was very clean. The bridge going between our area and the bathhouse was damaged but it was still a reasonably short walk around the “long” way. The camp store seemed very well stocked with basics. 

This was our first KOA experience. It was a bit more expensive than most state and national parks we’ve camped at but reasonable considering the amenities. 

Kids loved it!

This KOA is one of our favorites.  Open year round. Very clean showers.  Pool and activities for kids. Close to Lexington with vineyards, restaurants and antique shops.  Next door to the drive thru zoo and near Natural Bridge.  

Great owners!

My husband and I love this campground.  The owners are kind and gracious.  Always fun activities year round (they are open year round).  Nice little store, gas station at the entrance.  Very clean bathroom as and showers.  We love our spot “99”!  So much to do here in Natural Bridge and Lexington.  Go to Pink Cadillac Diner - 4347 S. Lee Highway Natural Bridge VA 24578 United States and Laynes Country Store!  Ride through the Virginia Safari!  See the Natural Bridge and hear about when George Washington was a young man exploring this are.

Love love love this KOA

Wonderful KOA with lots of updates. Bathrooms beautiful and clean. Owners on site with great personalities. 

Well Maintained and Clean

Very friendly staff. Great place to visit.

Great place , very friendly . We enjoyed our time there . 

Stopped in for a quick overnight stay. Our site was a full hook up pull through which was decent sized and did not feel cramped. We were able to stay connected to our tow vehicle as the site was long enough to do so. The park had a clean pool and very welcoming staff. We wish we were able to stay longer to take in the sights as it is in a great location.

Great overnight stay would have liked to stay longer 

Nice

Nice place to stay close to natural bridge. Your average koa, well kept wasn't too busy considering location and time of year would stay again!

Convenience camping

Our first stop on our very first ever camp trailer adventure couldn’t have gone more smoothly! We had a gravel pull through spot with a picnic table on a wooden deck, fire pit, and full hook up. There is a pool and a playground, however they were both closed due to Covid. Natural Bridge is very close—an impressive rock landmark with lush trails through the woods and opportunities for creek wading. We had a great time! 

Great First Time Experience 

First time at a KOA. The staff is very friendly, the facilities are immaculate, and the camping areas have plenty of space for an expansive set up. We were in tent space 48, which was very private and had a lot of trees over it so we were able to sleep in fairly late. The bathrooms were as clean as a hotel and the shower had great water pressure. Due to covid there was a pool sign up which we didn’t have time to do but it looked clean. Amazing stay! It felt more like a low budget glamping experience — 10/10 would do again 

Excellent camping experience 

We had planned on staying for 2 nights and the move on to Nashville. Tennessee was pretty much shut down from Covid. We were glad we stayed! The campground was very nice as well as the owners and staff!! They even guided you to your site and help you level.

There is plenty to do around this area.


We were only going to stay 2 nights!

We are first time RV’ers and we really enjoyed this campground.  The owners were kind and helpful. The nearby hiking was amazing. 

Beautiful

Clean and right beside the safari park in Natural Bridge, cave mountain is few extra miles but is nicer in my opinion if you want nature and peace. This place does have hookups and sites are on top of one another not spaced out. It does have WiFi available and your phone will work here. Has a gas station right in front of it’s entrance and is directly off interstate

It’s ok

Had a great time as always. Staff friendly and very accommodating. You have to go to the Safari Park next door. Great memories. 

Great stay at the KOA

This campground is open year round and is right off the highway.  There is a gas station right next to it as well as a safari park.  The campground itself has a pool, open seasonally, a game room, and a playground.  It's an old school playground but the gkids love it.  They also have a couple of walking trails and a small dog park.  It is roadside so expect just that for this campground.  It has plenty of trees and sites for all different sized vehicles and tents.  The cabins and bathrooms are nice and clean.  The employees are always nice and helpful.  We have stayed here several times and have always had a good time.

Right off highway with great amenities

We were here in mid Sept and in site 15. It was a very small site with a half deck. If we had camper with slide, we would not have been able to use our slide in this site.  The private shower rooms are nice and clean.  The roads are rough dirt and gravel and not conducive to bike riding.  They do trash pickup and deliver firewood.  Chickens run free thru the campground. 

OK For Just an Overnighter

This is a good campground for a short stay. The sites are small and close to each other, but well maintained. The bath/shower/Laundry facility was very clean and fairly new. The utilities were great. There is a small swimming pool that the kids were enjoying, a short trail, and chickens all over. It's not a beautiful campground with a lake or other amenities, so it's not a camping destination, but still a good stay on the way to other places. There are 104 campsites, most have water and electric.  There are a few "Premium Delux Patio" sites that have a tiny grass lawn and a few shrub trees that are pretty cute and bigger than the other sites. There was a good bit of construction on the site and a few cabins that were just being completed. 

We were told that because we were only staying one night, we couldn't reserve a specific site and when we arrived we were placed in site 11, which was right next to the bathroom doors. They were able to switch us to site 8 which was right at the entrance, but had a nice patio. We were happy with it. The campers were all very nice, as campers tend to be, and it was very quiet at night. It was a good stay. We would stay again.

Well run

Nice sites with character, uses local geography to their advantage.  

Lots of character

Only stayed one night.  Electric and water hook up.  Site was not level but OK.  They had very nice complete hook ups with patios.  Will try that next time, if available.

Pleasant Experience

I can only speak to the site we are in (91) but it was a breeze to pull in our 30 foot trailer in this pull-through site and set up. It was pretty much level. The folks I interacted with in the office were very nice. The WiFi is good enough to Google or post this, but no streaming. That does not seem to be a fault of the WiFi, but rather the internet service they are able to get out here. The park has shade. You can hear some road traffic  at night but it did not bother us. 

Nice people and easy level site

Park is fantastic, best I’ve ever seen for cleanliness and friendly staff.

Excellent Park

Staff were friendly campground was nice with shade pull throughs and fairly level.
