Best RV Parks & Resorts near Axton, VA

We stayed in section B of the Oak Hollow Campground. It was simply a large gravel parking lot for RVs/campers. We had full hook ups and paid$45 a night for our campsite. This was the worst physical campsite we have ever had… We stepped out of our camper and if we didn’t immediately turn we would hit our head on our neighbors slide out. There was not even enough room to set up a lawn chair between our camper and the camper next to us. The hook ups were lined up at the back of the parking spot for our camper which means we had to use a ton of extensions for our water, sewage, and power. There were not any trails at the park to walk our dogs but there was plenty of grass. The staff was very nice and the campground was gated. The laundry unit was a single washer and dryer outside of each of the shower/bathroom spots and were already closed at the end of November. They had two bathroom/shower houses. The campsite featured likely over 100 camper/rv spots so two bathroom/shower houses and 2 laundry machines would not be enough. If we were not seeing family in the area, we would not have stayed here. Campsite sections A and C seem to be much more spread out, if you’re wanting to be in this area. The campsite is in High Point and is near all the amenities that you would need.

We stayed here a week and we were the only ones at the full hook up sites the whole time.

Moved here in November with the intentions of staying long term. Which we told to 2 different employees. One when we made the reservation and another one just days before our arrival when she called to ask us how long we would be staying. The manager didn't ask my husband how long we would be staying at check-in. In January we were told the rate for our cramped site was going up to$850 a month. And in 2 months we would have to pay the daily rate which comes to$1350. I was told by the manager that they needed the sites for traveling nurses who are essential workers. Didn't matter that my husband is a truck driver and also an essential worker during this pandemic. We would not moved here if we had been given the correct information. But I am pretty sure that we weren't told that it wasn't a long term campground because they had a lot of empty spots in November. I think they neglected to tell us so they could fill a spot and make money. Or else all of the staff is incompetent. If you plan on staying be aware that they charge 17 cents kwh for site 29. According to the helpful woman at Duke Energy, the site next to us was paying just over 9 cents a kwh. Our site and some of the others weren't showing up on their list. Internet was mostly good. Water pressure was horrible in the mornings when there were a lot of people there. The noise from the interstate is constant and loud. The dryers are kind of ineffective. Site was uneven, muddy and the RV next door was angled very close to ours. RV vehicle across the road nearly hit ours every time he backed out. The manager was snippy and rude sometimes when you go to get the mail. One day you can come in and get it and then next day you are reprimanded for opening the door. Which has a sign that says to come on in. Best to find somewhere else to stay. Unless tight quarters, rudeness and noise are your thing.

This park,to be honest when we first arrived, made us ask:"Is this IT??" Our first impressions were that it was a parking lot.  we even looked for the rest of the campground.  It's 10 spots, full hook-up, with an awesome view of Pilot Mountain. Each pad is concrete, with a picnic table, fire pit and full hook-ups. But after we set up, and caught out breath, we realized that this park is EXACTLY what we wanted. The main feature is the view, and what a view it has! This is more for a mature crowd, as there's really nothing here for kids to do (no playground or pool) which for us was nice. It was good to have a campfire and sit and watch the sun set. The other campers were very friendly, but you can tell when talking to the owners, that this is a labor of love and hope! In the morning, getting up early to watch the sunrise light up the mountain like a candle really set the tone for a beautiful day. Next time I want to have time to hike the mountain, but for this trip, just relaxing and watching nature was worth every breath.

Stayed here for 2 nights, the location is wonderful, many sites front the lake, which could be rather cold, although they provide such lovely surroundings.  Waking up to sunrise over the water, as the cold air turned to mist over the warmer water was pretty spectacular. Each site was comfortable, we had a fire ring, picnic table, and a full hook-up, although water at each site was turned off (end of November), water was still available a few hundred feet away. The site volunteers were wonderful, former park rangers, bathrooms were very clean, firewood was available and there were dumpsters to leave our trash on the way out. This is a very family-friendly campground, there were a good deal of kids riding their bikes around at all hours, so if you are planning to sleep in, this may not be the spot.

Be prepared to truly rough it if you camp here. No electrical or sewer hook ups for rvs. Perfect for traveling campers that are packing light and have minimal needs.

This campground is located right outside of Floyd, VA and just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a beautiful venue with rolling grassy hills and acres of woods with hiking and mountain biking trails. They have full hookup RV sites along with dry ones and multiple tent camping options!They also have free wifi along with a brand new 9 hole disc golf course!

This is a National Park Service campground located along the Blue Ridge Parkway, a short distance north of the famous& scenic Mabry Mill. It’s open Memorial day through late October and reservations are available online, but also offers a significant complement of first-come, first-serve sites. Only 28 of the sites are suitable for RVs. The larger sites are located in a loop that runs parallel to the Parkway, so you may experience a little more road traffic noise. Loop C is tent only and farthest from the main road. Bring cash or check to pay for your site if you arrive without a reservation and need to pay at the iron ranger.

Cell service is poor. Some of the sites have bear lockers, so be sure to put away your food and scented toiletries. Sites are wooded, though the T loop is more open

Facilities are limited, with hot water and flush toilets, but no showers or hookups. For RVs, there is a dump station. Firewood is for sale. There's also a group site located near the back of loop C

In addition to the scenic drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway and historic sites, there are trails to explore, including the more rigorous Rock Castle Gorge trail that will take you past waterfalls and an old CCC camp. A downside to many of the hikes along the Parkway is that you start at the top and hike down, so you’ll have an uphill hike toward the end. You may see wildlife: deer, turkeys and bear frequent the area.

Oak Hollow Campground is located in High Point NC.  It is immediately off the highway and just a couple turns through neighborhoods and you arrive at the campground.  You turn left off the main road, across from the golf course and pass by both the tennis center and the gazebo with the covered picnic tables.  You can hear both the highway and neighborhood traffic from the campground.  

When we pulled up, the first thing we noticed was the campground sign, with the electric gate with a key code.  We also were immediately greeted by a man on a golf-cart - which made us feel like they take care of who is in and out of their campground.  

Pulling in, all registration and fees can be paid in the little brown building on the right.  There were many signs on the door giving us all the info we needed, seeing as the attendant was out. 

We pulled through loop A and could hear music - we guessed from the lake, but soon realized it was from a house in the nearby neighborhood.  Several of the sites in loop A were crooked, but an RV could level acceptably.    

Loop B was an RV loop - consisting primarily of a gravel parkinglot and RV's stacked one after the other.  The lake was an easy walk from this loop - and also had a gazebo with picnic tables underneath and 2 swings, doggie pick up stations, recycling and trashcans. 

Loop C was the tent sites - many with interesting platforms that gave us a good view of the lake.  This view came at a price though - the sites were just off the road - meaning 4 or 5 feet from the road.  We parked strategically so the kids would always be between our van and our site - but there was no room for exploration on their own.  

Continuing on down the road, we came to Loop D which was another RV parking lot.  There was a semi-permanent gate separating the neighborhood from this parking lot - but people could easily walk in and out in this area.  

There was coin laundry, vending machines and a sink for washing dishes at the bathhouse.  Toilets, showers and changing areas were provided inside and a fenced in pool just behind the bathhouse.  

This is not a campground we would frequent - but I could imagine people staying here if visiting from out of town or if they needed to crash for a night.  The views were beautiful down by the lake - but it was clear we were in suburbia.

We went off season in March of 2018. It was the perfect time to go as it was still "wintery", but had days of mild weather to allow for hiking. The lake is huge and allows for boating and fishing. There's a beach that you can swim from. They have several cabins that are well maintained and clean. We stayed in a cabin. But, we also checked out the tent camping pads. I would not recommend for camping with a tent as the sites are stacked on top of each other offering little to no privacy. The RV/camper sites might be better. I can't say for sure as I don't rv camp. The cabins were phenomenal. They offer a clean and basic setup with a wood stove. The exterior has a porch/deck, grill, firepit, and picnic table. Some of the cabins backup to the lake. The cabins are spread so that their is ample space between them offering privacy. Beautifully maintained, the park was pristine. The visitor center is large and offers education, camp store, literature. I am going back!

We had the opportunity to stay a couple of nights at this campground on our way to the east coast. Wow, getting there was quite a journey over narrow curvy roads but once there it was a nice area. We stayed in a full hookup site 8 on top of a hill overlooking other areas of the park. They have sites for everyone and every type of camping! The grounds are kept mowed and cleaned, ample trash receptacles that are emptied daily and clean bathrooms. The laundry was nice and if you ran low on quarters the campground store would give you quarters in sandwich bags😀. Really enjoyed our stay there and took a day to explore Floyd.

Restrooms/showers: very clean, spacious, centrally located. Shower stalls are separate from the restroom and are basically their own room with lock.

Lots: Well maintained gravel lots.  Spacious and didn't feel like we were on top of our neighbors.  Good shade,  lots of trees.  Nice firepits!

Cell service: I have google fi and we had good service.  We were told by one neighbor that they were able to use a hot spot and were able to do zoom calls while using it.

Area:  We were glad we brought our bikes because the roads going around the park were very bike-able (hilly, though!) without much traffic so we felt safe and enjoyed touring about the park.  The campground is about 2 miles from the public access/beach part of the lake, so that'd be something to plan for.  

Hookups: I had a 30amp hookup with no issues. They also have up to 50amp full hookups. All of them looked well maintained. 

Staff: super friendly; good check-in experience.  Camp host greeted us pretty quickly as we were setting up.  FYI per someone else's comment - most campgrounds allow you to take firewood and if you don't have cash or the exact amount, you can tell the visitor center on the way out to run your card rather than leaving extra $$ in the box.

Overall: great trail system around the park, quiet campground, had a good time.

On my way to Virginia from western North Carolina, I decided to stop here. It makes the eight hour trip less tiresome if you can break it up. It is convenient since it is along the interstate. However, staying in one of the cabins at this KOA in Greensboro requires a minimum two-night stay, and they run about$100 a night. The person in the office was really nice and informative, but I think KOA is trying to discourage tent campers. She told me that since it had been raining, the ground was saturated and tent campers don’t like all the noise from the road; and she is 100% correct. Nevertheless, a tent site was my best option. The tent sites are sloped and very small. There is very little privacy since the sites are just about on top of each other. Don’t get me wrong; there are good things about this KOA… for RV campers and RV campers with children. The RV sites are spacious and mostly level with electric, water, and sewer hookups. The cabins are really nice(this being based on staying in a KOA cabin in the past and the exterior looks, which have been updated since I last stayed in one). The children will love the caboose/play area, and there is a large pool, which was actually open. There is also a fenced dog walk and another playground for children. The main bath house is located at the end of the office, and there is another bath house which was closed due to repair(?). Perhaps I’m being a little too harsh since it had poured rain for two days, but being on a small, unlevel, tent site with saturated ground is not my favorite way to camp. There were only brief minutes to take any photos since it was constantly raining. With all this said, if you want an alternative to staying at a motel/hotel/inn in Greensboro to experience the numerous things the city has to offer, this is a good choice for RV campers or for those who want to stay in a cabin.

My husband and I just returned from a May visit to this campground. It is fairly small, 43 camp sites. No water and electric hookups which we sort of prefer as it seems to be less attractive to mega sized RVs with noisy generators. It was a ratio of about 75%/25% tents to smaller RVs when we were there. Camp site has raised level tent sites not concrete, but hard packed dirt. Also, picnic table and fire pit. The grill on the fire pit was adjustable for height to the coals which was kind of cool. Bath house was a little rustic but plenty of hot water. Firewood is available from the camp host for $6 a bundle. Cash only. If you’re not in good shape get a site above the bath house. Below the bath house involves a good little climb every time you have to go!

Best part of this campground is that it is right on the trail to the summit. The first trail is Grindstone Trail which is a 2 1/2 mile up and back. It’s a moderate trail with equivalent inclines, declines, and level switchbacks. I’m 63 and healthy and it was an appropriate challenge for me. To get to the summit it’s about a half mile of strenuous climb on the Ledge Springs Trail. That part is strenuous in my opinion.

You can also drive up to the summit where you get views of the Yadkin Valley and the knob of Pilot Mountain. It’s crowded up there but accessible for a wide range of people so that’s good. If you don’t prefer crowds go at the beginning or end of the season. Season runs May through October I believe.

We were a little taken aback when we first arrived at our site but quickly began to appreciate the beautiful field we were camped in with electric and water hook-ups. Not sure about other sections of the venue but we had privacy due to the very few people in sites around a huge field that appears to be a venue for outdoor music festivals. Proprietor guided us and our 17' travel trailer to our site. A bit of a walk to the bathroom but shower was hot and bathroom, tho' a little rough around the edges, was clean. We would definitely stay again.

This is a very well maintained& clean campground. The owner is great and the camp host was very attentive. There is a good sized catch and release pond, we were at site#17 that was one site from the pond and not sure if you could see the water from#18 but the short walk to the pond is up a small hill/bunker like thing so there’s not a direct view of the water from#17 if that’s what you are looking for. There is a good play area and nice pavilion for groups and a smaller camping area down from the bathhouse. We have a 22’ TT, but I imagine the turn into the campground with a large motorhome would need some consideration for the driver to take their time. The drive to Smith Mountain Lake is not bad. The entry road off of RT 40 is at an angle, not a 90 degree turn so if you are coming from the East, it’s at the top of the hill but more than a 90 deg turn, coming from the West on 40 it’s an easy turn but you can’t see the traffic coming up the hill so be careful. There’s a convenience store, Penhook store, on 40 and it does have some raw and frozen meats, bait, ice, charcoal and the other basic store stuff. We came from the West and Rocky Mount has a Kroger and Wak-Mart. Wi-Fi was standard campground speed, didn’t use the bathhouse,power and water presser were good, site could have been a bit more level but they may work on that over the winter. Check in was a breeze, directly to the site but still greeted and checked on by the host. Some full timers and seasonal trailers but they were in good shape and clean. September stay so still had mosquitoes and fresh stink bugs, yeah! Have fun!

Great campground for hiking, rock climbing and scenic vistas. Campground very rustic but nicely spaced. No hookups but warm showers and flush toilet. Most site were designed for tents since it is very old State Park but many sites will accommodate RVs. Campgrounds fills up on weekend but plenty of spots available during week. I Highly suggest making reservation.very rural setting makes it a beautiful place to visit.

We stayed here for a quick one night while driving through. It was conveniently located off the interstate and quiet. We were able to hookup 50amp electrical and water is shared with your neighbor which was fine for the brief stay. Nice for the price.
