18 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Several RV parks with full-hookup sites operate near the Blue Ridge Parkway, offering varying levels of amenities. River Country Campground & RV Park provides 61 sites with water, electric, and sewer connections, along with access for big rigs and both 30-amp and 50-amp service. "Some sites have problems with their power staying on," noted one camper, though recent reviews mention the property has been transformed with improved facilities. Peak Creek RV Campground offers a smaller, more intimate experience with just two sites featuring full hookups in a creek-side setting. Riverwalk RV Park contains 51 sites with water, electric, and sewer hookups, accommodating larger vehicles with 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service.
Most RV parks in the region require advance reservations, particularly during fall foliage season when availability becomes limited. Navigation to certain campgrounds may involve narrow mountain roads with elevation changes, so travelers with larger motorhomes should verify access conditions before arrival. Roaring River Vineyards RV Campground offers 50-amp electric service but lacks sewer hookups and water connections at individual sites. Sanitary dump stations are available at several facilities including Doughton Park Campground along the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 239. According to one visitor, the RV loops at Doughton Park feature "asphalt pads designed for shorter travel trailers" with an extra pad for tow vehicles, making this a consideration for those with longer motorhomes.
"Private and quiet. Creek is like a river, cool getaway during the day. Great attractions close by. West Jefferson, home of Ashe Cheese, and much more, less than 30 minutes away."
"Quiet spot, great views. Host was very accommodating and had inner tubes for floating in the stream."
from $60 - $65 / night
"This campground has been transformed into a beautiful place to get away from it all! River front sites, pull thru sites and tent sites. New playground for the kids!"
from $45 - $70 / night
"Had a great time here...campground is behind the restaurant and a pond. Very nice peaceful setting and you can wine taste while you are visiting."
"There is a play ground and game room for older kids but nothing for the smaller children to do. If it was just adults going, or even older children maybe 7 and up it would be a great location."
"Definitely not the campground to book if you are looking to enjoy the surroundings/scenery as things are very packed in. Close enough to Winston-Salem to do day trips though."
"We were looking for a campground near by over Martin Luther weekend and used the Dyrt app and found this nice campground."
"Large back-in spot, fairly level. Very quiet during the week but have been told by the camp hosts that every weekend is booked for a long time. Would definitely go back."
from $70 - $85 / night
"Full hook ups. Cable TV was a luxury for us! Great WiFi the entire time; even for a couple of zoom calls!"

"On the Blue Ridge Parkway, nestled in the trees and mountains of North Carolina, this campground has been well maintained."
"Low key and quiet. Very, very enjoyable.
Road Noise: Sites 1 and 2 are close to the parkway. The rest of the sites are set far enough back that, maybe motorcycles can be heard."

ScoutGreat location , clean bathhouse
ScoutLet me first start by saying that this campground is absolutely beautiful. I have lived in this area my entire life and the Doe is one of my favorites. I am a avid camper and have camped all over this area. I decided to give this place a try, I own a small pop-up camper and knew it was going to get cold 10/20/2026-10/22/2026, so me and my sister rented the RV at Doe River. #1 check in is not until 3pm, I always order a load of wood from a local guy who delivers to camp sites, I do all my cooking in a Dutch oven over the fire or burgers and dogs in the fire, what is a camping trip without a nice warm fire. The owner came over to my campsite and asked if I had ordered this wood and I replied yes, she then asked what I was going to do with it all, I replied I am going to burn it. So, I told Carl (the wood guy) where to stack it, the owner then said that I need to leave it in my truck bc if I didn't use it all I would have to put it back on my truck and take it home with me, I said really? It's just a unspoken rule that if you don't use all your wood that you pay it forward and leave it for the next camper?? She said absolutely not, So we moved the wood from his truck and into mine. She then asked again why I needed so much wood and that most ppl just buy small bundles from her. And just like that I understood! Carl the wood man and his wife also made a comment about how rude she was about the wood. It does not end there, Not only does she have camaras on some of the out blds which I get, but I don't get why they are pointing directly at camp sites, We felt like we were in a fish bowl the entire time. Every single time we went to the bathroom she showed up abt 5 mins later, There is a camara right above the bathroom door, One on the pavilion, and one on each side of the bathhouse, at the entrances and who know where else. So much for privacy in the great outdoors. I didn't even feel comfortable hiking, we felt like we were being watched constantly. She was constantly there, walking her dog which was not friendly and so big she could hardly control him on the leash which was really scary, she also was driving through several times throughout the day. Then came the kicker, about 1 o'clock in the morning we were freezing, I had turned the heat on in the camper before going to bed and heard it come on, Well the propane ran out between 11pm and 1am, I called her at least 10 times we had every blanket and was still freezing, We decided we would go to the bath house bc it had a mini split hanging on the wall, Out of luck there, it was set on air conditioning with no way to change it, so we found a blow dryer trying to get warm, still the entire time trying to call the owners, We finally ended up in our car until the husband arrived. He acted so annoyed at us and said all u have to do is fip the switch on the propane tanks outside! We had never stayed in a travel trailer before and according to them all we had to do was show up and start glamping!! So, I was supposed to know to go outside at 1 am and switch over propane tanks?? No, It should have been FULL when I got there!!! With attitude he said,"Its Basic Camping" No sir it's not, what I do is basic camping, I was told on the phone that I was glamping, She, the owner also said we should have called 911 when we could not get hold of them so that Carter County police officers could come and wake them up!!! Not sure if that is putting our tax dollars to good use?? Like I said it is truly a beautiful place and has great potential, we left that second night at 11pm because again the heat was not working, we have not asked for any refund we just took the loss. it would be to much of a hassle. We just know better next time. With owners like that they can keep it. Windy Wells/Debra Price
ScoutMy husband and I arrived at Doe River Landing for 3 nights and enjoyed everything the resort offered. While there we read the 2 reviews posted by Kylie T, and by Andrew W, who gave the resort a 1 star rating. Not knowing the facts that caused the rating by them, and occurred prior to us, we approach the owner and asked.
The owner showed us videos from their security cameras. These adults has stated in Kylie T review and confirm by Andrew W review that they were a group of 20 adults and "every single one of us is over 21 and family". So why are these adults playing "hide and seek" under the pavilion as they stated? Andrew W stated, "It was not blocked off", yet they had to crawl on the ground and around bushes to get under the pavilion. When the owner yelled at them approximately 10 adults that were under the pavilion crawled out which was captured on the security cameras. Andrew W stated in his review the owner called them hooligans, which is rowdy, destructive persons and from the security cameras, that description is correct. There was no mention of damages in their reviews such as the Adirondack chair they broke or possible damage to the water pipes and electric wires under the pavilion, which the owner was currently checking.
Once we read these two reviews by Kylie T and Andrew W and saw the owners security videos, we felt future customers deserved to know another opinion based on our findings.
These entitled adults justified their review of a 1 star by stating they paid money to use the campground.
I would ask these adults "why do you think it is OK to treat someone else's property in this destructive way?"
ScoutWe brought our whole family out and rented almost every cabin on the property, plus the event center, for the weekend— we gave this place a lot of business. And honestly, the stay itself was great— nice place, no complaints about the cabins. The owner is the problem. He came flying in in his blue F-150 doing 20–30 mph where the posted speed limit is 5, and started screaming at us over something that could've been handled with a simple conversation. His exact words:"Where are your parents? This is a family establishment. I will not have hooligans running around here." Every single one of us is over 21 and family. All we were doing was playing hide and seek— which isn't against any of the property's rules— and there were no other guests to disturb, since we had the entire area rented. He still threatened to call the police, even though it wasn't even quiet hours. Before anyone could get a word in, he peeled out so fast the gravel sprayed up at us and our cars. Then on his way out he drove the wrong way down the property's one-way road, so apparently the rules only apply to guests. It's sad, because the property itself is great, and we were never anything but nice to the owners the whole weekend. To be treated in such an unprofessional manner— screamed at, threatened, and never given so much as an apology afterward— put a real dent in the weekend. We won't be back
ScoutOur group of about 20 rented nearly every cabin at Doe River Landing for my friend's wedding weekend, with the reception held on site. The cabins were nice and well-equipped, and the only other guests were in a cabin half a mile away through the woods. Unfortunately, the hosts ruined the stay. One night, some of us were playing hide and seek in an area that wasn't blocked off or against any rule. The host's husband came speeding in at roughly 30 mph(the posted limit is 5), jumped out of his truck screaming that he"will not have child hooligans running around the campground," told us to"go back to the motel we crawled out of," and demanded to see our parents— despite all of us being adults in our twenties. He then peeled out so aggressively he sprayed gravel at us and our cars. It wasn't even quiet hours, and we weren't disturbing anyone. Afterward, the host called us again, passive-aggressive, and questioned our ages— even though you have to be 21 just to rent a cabin there. The property is lovely, but the hosts' behavior put a real damper on what should have been a joyful wedding celebration. It's a shame they treat people paying good money this way. We won't be back.
ScoutFrom check in to our stay, large big rig drive through lot. Quiet and clean park. Even had pizza and delicious wings delivered right to our coach. Next time through we hope to stay again.
ScoutThis is not a resort type campground. It is a place for people to bring old campers to live full time and long term. The electric and water utilities are original from the 50's and there are constant problems with both. There is a lot of unrecognized potential because the owners do not reinvest any money into anything for the campground.
Blue Ridge Parkway campsites sit between 2,000-3,500 feet elevation, creating cooler summer temperatures compared to surrounding lowlands. Fall camping requires advance planning as sites fill quickly when autumn colors peak. Winter closures affect many campgrounds seasonally, with facilities typically operating from April through October.
Creekside relaxation: At Peak Creek RV Campground, visitors can enjoy wading in the stream. "Host was very accommodating and had inner tubes for floating in the stream," notes Lynn S. The creek "is like a river, cool getaway during the day" according to another camper.
Trail access: Campers at Fries New RiverTrail RV Park can reach the 57-mile New River Trail just blocks from their site. "The start of the trail is less than 1/2 mile from the campground and travels along the New River for miles," explains one reviewer. Another mentions you can "ride bikes from your campsite to the trail."
Wine tasting: Overnight guests at RV parks near Blue Ridge Parkway can visit local vineyards. "You can wine taste while you are visiting" at Roaring River Vineyards RV Campground, according to Kristi D. The area around Elkin is wine country with "many vineyards in the area" accessible for day trips.
Waterfront sites: Campers appreciate riverside locations throughout the region. "We loved camping here and can't wait to come back. The swimming pond was awesome with a spot for the dogs," mentions Donna B. about her stay at Riverwalk RV Park.
Convenient town access: Many rv sites near Blue Ridge Parkway offer proximity to small towns. "Jonesvillle and Elkin both have antique stores and Elkin is a nice town to stroll through with shops and a local brewery," notes Ricky J. Another reviewer suggests visiting "Creek Bottom Brewery in Galax (less than 30 min). Great food and beer options."
Well-maintained facilities: Campers frequently mention the cleanliness at campgrounds along the parkway. "Impeccable gravel sites, bathroom and common areas," writes Nancy C. about Fries New RiverTrail RV Park. At Linville Falls Campground, Phil W. states they are "the cleanest bathrooms we've ever seen."
Extended stays available: Some locations accommodate longer visits. At Doughton Park Campground, "A small group of folks, older, play music together on a regular basis. Bring your instrument and join them," suggests a camper who enjoyed the community atmosphere.
Mountain driving considerations: Access to certain RV sites near Blue Ridge Parkway requires navigating mountain terrain. "The roads were windy and a tad narrow but definitely do-able as long as you took your time," mentions Jennifer K. about reaching Fries New RiverTrail RV Park.
Seasonal limitations: Weather affects operations at higher elevations. "It would close for the season on November 4 so we were good!" reports one camper about an autumn visit. Most campgrounds along the Blue Ridge Parkway operate from April or May through October.
Kid-friendly activities: Lake Myers RV Resort provides family entertainment options. "Many activities offered for family with 2 large pools," notes Gennie C. Another visitor mentions it's a "fun activities, kid friendly" environment.
Age-appropriate planning: Consider the age of children when selecting a campground. "If it was just adults going, or even older children maybe 7 and up it would be a great location," advises Keanu G., who found limited activities for children under 5 at Lake Myers.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Several campgrounds offer chances to observe local wildlife. At Riverwalk RV Park, one visitor noted, "Deer came right up to our camper and my husband saw them while walking our dog." Children often enjoy these natural encounters.
Site selection: At Laurel Creek RV Park, the location varies by site. "Lovely, creekside spaces & a few up the hill with views," notes Stephanie W. At Doughton Park Campground, Roger W. advises, "Best sites: 9 very best, 4, 8, 7. Next best: 5, 21, 19."
Hookup variations: Electric options differ between campgrounds. Fries New RiverTrail RV Park offers "WiFi and cable are great in the entire park," while other locations may have only partial hookups. Some sites have 50-amp service while others offer 30-amp connections.
Pad dimensions: RV owners should verify site specifications before arrival. At Doughton Park Campground, sites feature "asphalt pads" with "an extra pad for tow vehicles." One camper notes sites at Riverwalk RV Park were "very roomy, many pull through sites" that could accommodate larger rigs.
