Several properties offer special amenities including propane fire pits, outdoor kitchenettes, and private hot tubs at select accommodations. Seasonal programming includes ranger-led nature walks, children's outdoor education programs, and nighttime wildlife viewing opportunities with underwater lighting at Holliday Lake allowing guests to observe fish after dark.

Sun Retreats Shenandoah Valley
Gorgeous campground. Super clean and many amenities for kids.
Thomas B.

Narrow Outdoors
Cool campground in a remote part of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As such, very little phone service and lots of narrow, winding roads. Plenty of hikes and several interesting little towns within 30 minutes. I thought it was an interesting mix! We had a power outage during our visit, which also eliminates water access at this site. I was grateful to have an inverter to keep us online since there is zero AT&T service. I had a pull-through site and I'm not certain that I could have made the exit if the campers ahead of me didn't leave.

Sun Retreats Shenandoah Valley
A bit too expensive
Beautiful area and lots of amenities but $95 a night for RV camper even if you’re in a van. The tent spots fill up fast if there are any

Holliday Lake State Park Campground
Beautiful Park, But Noisy
This park is so beautiful, set it a forested canopy and a serene lake, BUT - between the neighboring 4-H Camp shooting with hundreds of rounds being fired each day between 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM, and then Karaoke parties from 6:00 pm to late at night, the noises were close to being unbearable. Also, zero cell phone reception, but they have free wifi at the check-in station, the office and the beach.

4.6 stars
Very beautiful surrounds and plenty of family fun to be had here. Pool, waterslides, splash pad, jumping pillows, playgrounds, mini golf, and of course the James River, to which our campsite was immediately adjacent. It's 8 minutes to the state park with the natural bridge, which is spectacular. . The staff are super nice and helpful.

Short Stay
We stayed in the tent only section for Labor Day weekend in 2024. The tent sites were not very level and close together. They were entirely gravel.
The kiddos enjoyed the swimming beach and some of the play items built in. The slide and some other pieces had seen better days and needed a bit of a refresh.
We didn't have a chance to check out any trails, but plan to go back on the future.
Brian B.GuideTwin Lakes State Park Campground
Very close together …
This time we were in a tent, but I’m glad we only stayed one night. I do have to say that the lakes were nice. The swimming was OK and the facilities were decent.
We went camping as a group and we held four campsites. The proximity was not a super big problem given that it was a group.

Middle Creek Campground
Beautiful and secluded
Mostly seasonal campers, but an idyllic environment. I am parked alongside a babbling brook. Poor cell reception, no tv. A forced off the grid experience.
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."
