Mountain terrain presents navigation challenges for larger motorhomes traveling to campgrounds in this area. Many parks near Glasgow require advance reservations, particularly during fall foliage season when sites fill quickly. Dump stations are available at most parks, though water pressure can vary significantly. A recent review noted, "Our only complaint was water pressure was very low. Otherwise happy with everything." Most RV parks in the region welcome pets and offer propane services, though availability differs between locations. For level parking, bringing stabilization blocks is recommended as several campgrounds feature terraced or sloping sites. Cell service ranges from excellent near Interstate 81 to spotty in more remote mountain locations.
"VERY well kept and super friendly staff. I highly recommend. Larger rigs need to stay in the lower campground and there are no sewer connections, but the dump station is all good."
"Full hookup only on upper campground. Lower campground only has water and sewage."
"Remote 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."
"The campground is close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiking trails (a plus!) but, definitely opt for a full hook-up site!"

GuideI would highly recommend this area. It was very quiet with only one other vehicle passing by my camp during the time I was there. I found my spot around 4:30 Thursday afternoon and left around 8:30 Friday morning. I could hear the river which made for a very pleasant sleep. If you check out this area, I really hope that you have as nice of an experience as I did. I was there on 10/22/26
TravelerShowers 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.
GuideReally nice property and clean rest rooms. Milo and I only stayed one night as we were meeting up with fellow overlanders. Price seemed a bit high @ $57.00 for parking on the grass with no elec or water.
I don't think I'll be back, unless we all meet up there again.
GuideThis is a no frills campground with just a few sites. Tent camping, small rigs and even some larger rigs could easily fit in the large grassy center where there are two fire rings. Our 25 got nobo had no issues.
GuideThis is one of the best campsites we’ve stayed at in VA. It’s easy to find and super well kept. There was an established fire ring and the bathrooms (pit toilets) were clean and in great shape. It seems pretty popular but we got there around 4-5 and were able to secure a spot.
ScoutResponsive hosts, great sites, fun family activities.

ScoutGorgeous campground. Super clean and many amenities for kids.
ScoutNice quiet campground, showers needed to be cleaned but were not bad. Communication was not good with park people.
