"We spent one night with our dogs at the walk-in campground at James Lake. It is a wonderful piece of nature. The campsites are far away from each other. Everything was very clean and taken care of."
"Campsite was right next to lake, beautiful views and easy water access. While we were there in April we only saw a couple other groups, and no other campers were anywhere near us."

"Campground Review
Holliday Lake State Park is located in the middle of the Buckingham State Forest, so it is completely surrounded by protected forest."
"Short walk to the beach. Awesome staff. Awesome kids and learning program for the weekend. Really loved the lights in the water at night and nighttime walk."
"Has beautiful pool and lake, playground, arcade, and boat rentals. Fishing, hiking, basketball. Very friendly staff all the time."

"Lake James is a true gem, clean and beautiful, with amazing views of Linville Gorge, Shortoff Mountain, and Table Rock. The State Park has several camping areas."
"This is a lovely little campground set on the shores of James Lake. Sites are big enough for 2 small tents or 1 largish family tent. All sites have a picnic table, fire pit with grate, and bear box."
"The campground is close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiking trails (a plus!) but, definitely opt for a full hook-up site!"
"This was the perfect spot to stay after a long drive. We saw bunnies and then lightening bugs. The pool was great for the kids."

"First time camping in any part of Virginia, very nice and clean campground, not too much outside noise besides the random car driving on the one road near by."
"We set up camp then walked over to the brewery/ restaurant for some flights and dinner. I recommend grabbing some growlers to go. Showers and restrooms were clean."
ScoutTent sites are large and a good distance apart. RV sites are good and have decent privacy. Power and water are reliable. There is one dumping station.
ScoutStayed 5-5-25 It was clean, creek for water if you have filter. Nice fire ring and wood. Did not see another person.
TravelerRemote and quiet location. In season this place is very busy. Our visit is pre Memorial Day so it is low key. 80-90% of sites are 30 Amp. Limited 50 amp. TT maintains all facilities in a similar way and your experience will vary. We are passing thru so to be fair, it is best to come back for a longer stay
GuideFirst time camping in any part of Virginia, very nice and clean campground, not too much outside noise besides the random car driving on the one road near by. The Brewery itself is far enough away you don’t hear anything going on there unless there’s live music, they make some very good beer though. All around great views from our specific site of the mountains. Will be going back.
GuideNice camping spot in George Washington NF. There are multiple spots along the road - some are drive in and some require you to park and walk in. Definitely get there early to get a prime spot. We didn’t arrive until late afternoon but we were able to snag one down toward the end of the road. The spot was nice and flat, backed up to a little creek and had an established stone fire ring.
My only complaint - that whoever used it last decided to walk a few yards down the trail and use the bathroom right in the middle of the path, leaving their mess and a pile of used wipes on the ground. Gross.
Other than that disgusting discovery this is a very nice woodsy campsite close to Natural Bridge!
GuideGetting a premium tent spot allowed us to arrive late and already be checked in. We had an amazing view. Bathrooms very clean. Short walk the brewery. The only negative was you’re not allowed to bring your own wood and it’s cash only, no atm’s on site, it would have been nice to scan a barcode to pay for the wood if there wasn’t someone there to take card payments. Will definitely return.
ScoutSuper amazing person at check in! Easy reservations. Nice, inexpensive spot for a last-minute decision to get out of the house.
GuideBooking was easy. Arrived after hours, staying one night. Our tag was waiting for us with a map to our RV spot with E/W by the creek and pond. It was off season, so plenty of spots and privacy. Looks like a fun place with lots of activities to come back to over the summer.
The bathhouse was close and clean with laundry and dump site next to it. They pick up trash each morning and have propane refill, if needed.
TravelerThe site was a large group site in the trees. Private. Fire ring and picnic table. Everything you could need. Walking distance to the bath house, which was nicer than expected. Lovely trails. Ice and firewood available. Excellent checkin experience. Walk to Devils Backbone Brewery - so fun; even had a patio for our dog. Cell service was PRIMO! Loved it - biking hiking close by. We'll be back soon. Highly recommend.
