On-site activities include trout fishing, guided waterfall hikes, and evening stargazing programs. Several properties offer special amenities including propane fire pits, outdoor kitchenettes, and private hot tubs at select accommodations.

    Natural Bridge-Lexington KOA

    It’s ok

    Clean and right beside the safari park in Natural Bridge, cave mountain is few extra miles but is nicer in my opinion if you want nature and peace. This place does have hookups and sites are on top of one another not spaced out. It does have WiFi available and your phone will work here. Has a gas station right in front of it’s entrance and is directly off interstate

    Crabtree Falls Campground

    easily accessible near a great waterfall!

    This camp ground easily accessible. Store, Bathrooms, and running water are very close. Seemed very family friendly. Some of the campsites are super close to a creek and its worth trying to get one of those! these sites are walk in, but there are some drive up sites in other areas. Crabtree falls and the AT-the Priest shelter are very close!.

    Montebello Resort

    A nice location within the Blue Ridge

    We spent five days here over Memorial Day weekend, the campsite itself is nicely wooded, has a well-supplied store with very friendly staff, a stocked trout pond, and has a nice small lake. The trout pond is a nice touch you can fish without a license, and you pay for what you catch, we enjoyed fresh trout for dinner during our stay, and from what I saw, anybody with a hook can catch one. We watched them restock the pond in the morning before the holiday weekend. The other lake on the property is a nice place to walk, the campsite provides kayaks and paddle boats as well, at no charge. We had a site on the permitter, which was nice, as the interior sites are really on top of one another, we were just a few sites off the lake, but backing up to the woods certainly gave us a little more privacy. The sites are rather small and close to one another, and definitely showing signs of age from the washed-away, uneven gravel pads, to some other aging amenities. We noticed serval sites loaded with perhaps a dozen people, often blasting music (during the day and not during quiet hours, but still…) really living it up, not the fault of the campground, but it did seem a little unregulated and overrun with multiple vehicles in the roads etc. There is a central restroom facility, just the one, for the entire campground, and the men's room was 2 stalls and a urinal with 2 showers, it was cleaned daily, although not what I'd call spotless, and the woman's room apparently had some plumbing issues the weekend we were there. The location of the campground is remote with zero cell coverage or wifi, and other than the store on-site, there isn't much outside of a few hiking trails, within 30 minutes.  Roughly 45 minutes away are from some breweries and wineries. I think we would have enjoyed this campground a little more had it not been as busy, the older facility couldn't really keep up with the crowd.

    Sun Retreats Shenandoah Valley

    Best Family Resort for Summer Fun

    Spent 3months here and absolutely loved it! There’s always tons of activities to do for everyone of age. Gold cart parades, crafts hours, poker run, corn hole tournaments. And of course their lake that has two jumping decks, water slide, snack bar , restaurant and off to the side a little store for floats with putt putt golf and Jenna,etc.

    The restaurant has great food, but a quick snack is usually preferred. On weekends the staff and owners make sure your having fun and go out of their way to cheer you up.

    There’s also a huge playground with volleyball and basket ball court near the pavilion. Along with a small arcade room and a huge fire pit ring to hang out at. Not to far from there is a dog run for both big and small and a fishing pond next to it.A few hiking trails that have the creek follow you around along with wildlife all around you.

    They also have golf cart rentals :) A lot of gravel with a few green patches on their sites. But still easy enough to bike ride around. Weekend sites are spacious and so are the monthly/seasonal areas. And there’s tons of cabins to rent in front of the lake. Bring the whole family!

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Natural Bridge

    Family Fall Camping Trip

    We had a great weekend with the whole family! There was a carnival for the kids, trick-or-treating, hiking, tons of bike riding, campfire watching, hammock swinging, laughing, loving, and hanging out! We had a campsite with electric and water close to the bathhouse which is great because we have a popup camper with no bathroom and six kids. There were plenty of decorations for Halloween and the kids had a super time. Great for families. There are also a couple of playgrounds, two bouncy pads, basketball court, and gaga ball. During peak season there is also a water play area with a waterslide and mini golf. It is located on the James River. We had a great time.

    Thunder Bridge

    Beautiful forested sites

    Sited on an old CCC camp, this private campground is a few minutes from convenience stores, has water, showers, toilets, fire pit, community room, and picnic tables. Close to the Appalachian Trail. There is an AT hostel and shuttle in nearby Glasgow. Rock Bridge and waterfalls just minutes away, by car. Minimum two-night stay for $100 is a little pricey, for me, but they do have Wi-Fi, and they don't have T-Mobile coverage. Some road noise and barking dogs in the distance.

    Dundo Group Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Beyond our expectations

    We camped here with a group of nine of us (4 tents) and we had plenty of extra room. There was a fire ring with a adjustable grill rack and 6 picnic tables. We had five cars parked right in front of our site and that was super nice. 

    There were two vault toilets right across where we parked our cars. The bathrooms were super clean with stainless steel toilet seats. We were very happy with the cleanliness of the bathroom. There were also an area for trash disposal. It was nice not having to drive our trash out!

    We stayed at campsite 3 which is right next to campsite 2. We could hear the conversation from campsite 2 and see them. Campsite two and one had a water pump. Campsite 1 was right next to the bathrooms and the public picnic area. I would not recommend booking campsite 1. Campsite 1 was also smaller than 2 and 3. On Saturday the public picnic area next to the group camp ground was over flowing. People kept coming into our campsites to use our picnic benches and set up picnic blankets around our campsite. This was very annoying. 

    We enjoyed making the short trip to the Loft Mountain Camp Store which had souvenirs, food, wood, milk shakes, ice cream, coffee, camping equipment, showers, flushing toilets , and laundry. 

    We also enjoyed making the short trip to the Loft Mountain Wayside to eat in the restaurant there. 

    At night the you could see stars. We took a walk to the overlook in the middle of the night to stargaze. 

    We loved our time here.

    Dundo Group Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Very open group campground

    Very large and very open group campground situated on either side of the picnic area road back out. Each of the campsites provides plenty of tent space, a couple picnic tables, fire pit with grills, bear boxes, potable water, and a shared vault toilets in the middle of the sites and nearer to the picnic area and parking for up to five vehicles at each site. Firewood, ice, laundry, showers and camp store are available three miles north at the Loft Mountain Camp Store.

    Natural Bridge KOA

    Quiet retreat in nature

    This KOA was a very nice surprise given that it was right off the highway. We only were there for 1 night and we didn't hear any highway noise. They had a very nice nature trail as well as chickens running around and baby goats in a pen. Check in was easy as they had a tent set up so we didn't have to go on the office. An employee led us to our site. The main campground is rather hilly, although our site was a rather level gravel pad. They have a new area, not flat ground, that has cement pads and pretty wood benches around fire pits. It looked like these campsites were for the large class A or fifth wheels. We had electric and water. Cable TV is included. The Verizon wifi was spotty with 2-3 bars. We will definatly go back if we pass through this area again.


Guide to Greenway

Camping options near Greenway, Virginia range in elevation from 455 feet at Bear Creek Lake to over 3,000 feet along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The region's varied terrain creates distinct microclimates, with higher elevations offering 10-15°F cooler temperatures during summer months. Fall camping season typically extends through mid-November, with October bringing peak foliage colors and nighttime temperatures that can drop into the 30s.

What to do

Hiking the lake perimeter trails: Bear Creek Lake State Park Campground offers a 6.2-mile trail circling the lake with varying difficulty levels. As camper Stephanie J. notes, "The park has lots of hiking, including trails that go directly from the camp sites to the swimming area... It is VERY hilly, so even the easiest trails have some climbs."

Fish after dark with underwater lighting: At Holliday Lake State Park Campground, a unique nighttime activity awaits. "On Saturday nights they turn on a few lights underneath the water so you can see the fish swimming around," explains Andrea N., adding that ranger-led activities include "spear throwing, how to start different types of fires, nocturnal animals sounds, and watching fish at night."

Access the Appalachian Trail: Crabtree Falls Campground serves as an excellent basecamp for AT adventures. Camper Britt S. confirms: "Crabtree Falls is a mile up the road and very easy to get to the trail head. The AT is also close by and easily accessed."

Explore historic sites: While camping near Natural Bridge, take time to explore nearby historical attractions. Jacob S. at Holliday Lake mentions, "Courthouse was only about 15min away and offered a very interesting visit of a historical site."

What campers like

Riverside camping sites: Many campgrounds offer water-adjacent sites that provide natural sound barriers. At Crabtree Falls Campground, "The tent sites we stayed in were 10 ft away from the Tye river, we literally fell asleep to the sound of the water every night," shares Britt S.

Clean facilities with private shower options: Natural Bridge-Lexington KOA maintains high standards for their facilities. As Anthony K. notes, "The private shower rooms are nice and clean," making it comfortable for families and those seeking more privacy.

Night sky viewing: The region's limited light pollution creates excellent stargazing conditions. Jacob S. from Holliday Lake State Park Campground appreciates "the sites were a good combination of sun and shade, great view of stars on clear nights."

Shredded tire tent pads: Unique to Bear Creek Lake State Park Campground, the tent pads offer extra comfort. Stephanie J. explains, "The tent pads are filled with shredded tires instead of gravel or dirt, which provides a little extra cushion, but can be uncomfortable on bare feet."

What you should know

Significant elevation changes: Prepare for steep roads in certain areas. Quinn G. from Montebello Resort advises, "FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE CAMPGROUND WEBSITE. VA56 is a very windy road not recommended for pulling a camper through. Use the blue ridge parkway."

Cell service limitations: Most campgrounds in the region have limited connectivity. George L. from Holliday Lake State Park Campground warns, "As indicated on park web site there is no cell service in the park. WiFi is available outside the contact station."
