Very clean, both showers and parking lot. Actually watched the crew pressure washing around the gas pumps. Close to highway but sheltered from the noise.

Chantilly Farm RV/Tent Campground & Event Venue accommodates pets at its tent, RV, cabin, and glamping sites. The campground spans picturesque rolling grassy hills with acres of woods featuring hiking and mountain biking trails for outdoor adventures with canine companions. Full hookup RV sites, dry camping areas, and multiple tent camping options provide flexibility for pet owners. ['The bathhouse and laundry facilities remain clean and well-maintained, making extended stays comfortable for campers traveling with animals.'] The campground's amenities include a 9-hole disc golf course, fire rings at each site, and picnic tables, though some visitors note difficulty lighting the firewood sold on-site.
Dragon's Tooth camping area allows pets at its primitive sites near the Appalachian Trail trailhead. The gravel parking lot provides relatively level overnight parking with vault toilets and bear-proof trash cans available. Dogs must be leashed on trails, particularly important as the path to Dragon's Tooth becomes strenuous with rock scrambles that may challenge larger dogs. The beginning of the trail follows alongside a small creek offering drinking water for pets that can be filtered for safety. Camping spots near the trailhead feature level ground with stone fire pits, though the designated tent camping area appears to be fenced off for environmental protection. Campers report the area feeling safe despite minimal road noise until about 10:30 PM, making it suitable for overnight stays with well-behaved dogs.

Showers themselves are nice but don't have privacy room to dry and get dressed. Spots are fairly close together. $50 for one night seemed kinda high. There is highway noise. You do get a discount on your cave tour.

Overnight Stay
Need an overnight stay on 81/77 this is the place. Booked is call them complete the reservation via Campspot app which they use so I had to download it. Place had plenty of sites pull through which I didnt need but they were so accommodating. I had a perfect view of mountains and cow pasture Relaxation and sleep close to bathhouse and office. They also have propane fill for your camper

Ferrum Park Campground
Nice campground for dry camping. Campground is fairly new and is still improving. The network of hiking trails are very nice and connect with nearby Ferrum College. The nonprofit that owns the campground has plans to add electric and water in the future.

Limestone Park
Nice quiet campground, showers needed to be cleaned but were not bad. Communication was not good with park people.
Jordan Y.ScoutPioneer Village
Nice place
Owner is friendly, people staying here consist of workers and retired people for the most part so the people are very quiet, beautiful river running through the end of the campground and a nice little hiking trail and a wide open area for kids to run and play. Only “bad” part is the road noise you are about 200 yards off that highway and can here it all day and night! But if your like me and don’t mind you will love it here!

Quick overnight
Not bad for a quick overnight especially if it’s raining (concrete level). Little loud overnight with incoming traffic.
