What to do

"Lots of hiking trails, but make sure you look at the map because we unfortunately did not look at it well enough and thought that the trail was a loop when it led to the opposite side of the mountain and we had to hitch hike back to the campsite," notes one visitor who recommends checking trail maps carefully before setting out.
Visit Safari Park: Located adjacent to Natural Bridge-Lexington KOA, this drive-through wildlife park offers close encounters with animals. "There is a gas station right next to it as well as a safari park. The campground itself has a pool, open seasonally, a game room, and a playground," shares a camper who enjoyed the convenience of this attraction.
Enjoy water recreation: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Natural Bridge offers multiple water features. "We partook in all we could and enjoyed the swimming hole, pool, splash pad, jumping pillow and arcade. I'd stay again and would love to head down to the river for some tubing and fish in the stocked pond," writes one visitor who found plenty of water-based activities.
Hike Sharp Top and Flat Top: These mountain trails near Peaks of Otter Campground offer challenging but rewarding hikes. "Definitely check out sharp top and flat top hikes. Both were beautiful, but slightly difficult so just be prepared. Also bring bug spray because the flies were terrible at the top," advises one hiker who completed both trails.
