Fancy Gap KOA features yurts and glamping tents along the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, while Stone Mountain provides climate-controlled glamping cabins and yurts nestled among wooded sites. Both locations provide elevated sleeping arrangements with real beds, electricity, and private outdoor spaces where guests can relax after exploring the surrounding mountains. "The Yurt overall was very clean and cozy. They have a nice large deck that is great for hanging out on while the kids were asleep," noted one visitor about similar accommodations in the region. These glamping options balance rustic charm with modern comforts, including kitchenettes, heating, and furnished interiors—ideal alternatives to traditional camping for those seeking to experience Blue Ridge Mountain views without sacrificing comfort.
Hiking trails directly accessible from these glamping sites connect visitors to notable natural landmarks, including Pilot Mountain's distinctive knob and Stone Mountain's massive granite dome. A recent visitor mentioned, "There is a trail leading from the parking lot and traverses above the climbing area so you have quick access to set anchors from the top." Eco-friendly glamping pods at several locations incorporate sustainability features like solar lighting and environmentally conscious design. Beyond hiking, guests enjoy rock climbing, fishing in stocked ponds, and swimming in on-site lakes during warmer months. Most glamping accommodations remain open from March through November, though some locations like Stone Mountain offer year-round availability. The Blue Ridge Parkway provides scenic driving opportunities, while nearby Mount Airy (the inspiration for Mayberry in The Andy Griffith Show) offers small-town charm with local restaurants and shops just minutes from several glamping sites.

GuideNeed 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
GuideDriving 14 1/2 hrs I was cooked called and had the most easiest booking. There was a sites available so I booked it. Needless to say I got there in the dark and a kind person helped me to my site and got me backed in. Soo exhausted I hooked up electric only hit the bed passed out
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.
GuideGreat spot to visit, with pool fishing ect. Very nice people and clean.
GuideWe had a blast here. My kiddo was able to roam freely and safely with other kids. We enjoyed a hike with the dogs, as well as swimming at the beaches.
ScoutThe campsite was absolutely terrific. Everything was very well thought of and well kept. The owners were extremely friendly as well. My friend and I had a very peaceful stay. There were really nice bathrooms and showers as well. I am planning on staying again soon.
TravelerCamped here Aug 7-11. What a great place; the hosts were fantastic and the people were very friendly. If craft beer is what you like there are four (Im sure there is more) interesting breweries within 30 miles. There are also trails to take if you are a jeepster like myself. I'm going back in Sept!
ScoutThe campground is beautiful and extremely well maintained. The entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Very quiet, adjoins the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the small community of Fancy Gap is interesting.
ScoutThis is a nice little place with level sites and easy shower/restroom access. I thought it was a little pricey and we had to drive to the lake, but it's a nice place to paddle board or kayak because they don't allow motor boats. They have a nice beach that our kid liked. You also have to the fairy stone hunting ground - we didn't find any. But there's a cool hiking trail with a couple of abandoned mine entrances.
Glamping experiences near Cana, Virginia center around the Blue Ridge Mountains at 2,500-3,000 feet elevation. This region sits at the intersection of the Virginia Highlands and North Carolina Piedmont, creating distinctive camping microclimates.

Rock climbing at Pilot Mountain: The distinctive knob offers climbing routes for various skill levels with convenient access points. "I've been here several times, and it's one of my favorite places for toprope climbing in the area. If you're not a climber, the views are still worth the drive," notes a visitor to Pilot Mountain State Park Campground.
Explore Andy Griffith's hometown: Mount Airy (just 5 miles from several glamping sites) inspired the fictional Mayberry. "Visiting downtown 'mayberry' is a must if you remember the TV show. Book a ride in the police car," recommends a camper at Mayberry Campground.
