            Smith Mountain Campground

            Nice clean & spacious independent campground

            This is a very well maintained& clean campground. The owner is great and the camp host was very attentive. There is a good sized catch and release pond, we were at site#17 that was one site from the pond and not sure if you could see the water from#18 but the short walk to the pond is up a small hill/bunker like thing so there’s not a direct view of the water from#17 if that’s what you are looking for. There is a good play area and nice pavilion for groups and a smaller camping area down from the bathhouse. We have a 22’ TT, but I imagine the turn into the campground with a large motorhome would need some consideration for the driver to take their time. The drive to Smith Mountain Lake is not bad. The entry road off of RT 40 is at an angle, not a 90 degree turn so if you are coming from the East, it’s at the top of the hill but more than a 90 deg turn, coming from the West on 40 it’s an easy turn but you can’t see the traffic coming up the hill so be careful. There’s a convenience store, Penhook store, on 40 and it does have some raw and frozen meats, bait, ice, charcoal and the other basic store stuff. We came from the West and Rocky Mount has a Kroger and Wak-Mart. Wi-Fi was standard campground speed, didn’t use the bathhouse,power and water presser were good, site could have been a bit more level but they may work on that over the winter. Check in was a breeze, directly to the site but still greeted and checked on by the host. Some full timers and seasonal trailers but they were in good shape and clean. September stay so still had mosquitoes and fresh stink bugs, yeah! Have fun!

            Thunder Bridge

            Idyllic forest campground

            Thunder BRidge is a unique property tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Near Natural Bridge State Park in Virginia, the campground was once a CCC camp. Now it is home to many quiet tent sites, screen cabins, log cabins, and even some fully furnished rental cabins.

            The campground is about 60% wooded, the rest is open ground with buildings from the camp's earlier days. The open area includes  several artists' studios.  At one edge is a forest creek, great for wading. 

            The campground is mostly tenting sites and rustic cabins, but there are RV sites in the open area.

            This is not a "resort" but you won't find a more beautiful, quiet campground!

            North Creek Campground

            A Peaceful Camping Getaway

            Our camping trip in Virginia was a step into serene simplicity for just $15. Nestled in a beautiful forest, we found peace with no electricity, no internet, and no phone signals—just pure nature. The campsite featured picnic tables, a fire pit, and even hooks to hang a cauldron for boiling water or cooking fish, adding to the rustic charm. Although there were no showers or sinks, the pit toilet served its purpose well. We spent our time enjoying a barbecue under the stars, fully embracing the natural world around us. Despite bear warnings and the lack of modern conveniences, this getaway left us refreshed and grateful for the peacefulness that only nature can offer.

            COE Philpott Lake Goose Point Park

            Scenic, tranquil, well-maintained, accommodating.

            Our family recently had an excellent experience camping at Goose Point Campground. Nestled along Philpott Lake, the campground offers stunning views and a tranquil atmosphere. The well-maintained, spacious campsites provided privacy and convenient water & electric hookups for our camper.

            We enjoyed a variety of activities, including swimming, fishing, and jet skiing on the lake, as well as hiking on nearby trails. The clean facilities and friendly, helpful staff made our stay even more enjoyable.

            Overall, Goose Point Campground is perfect for both a peaceful retreat and lake life adventure. Highly recommended!

            Basic private startup site with hookup

            Chris is establishing a couple of sites on his private property and getting organized. Simple and just off the road, but quiet. Chris is friendly and reachable by phone. A short 100 yards to a rushing creek. We needed a last minute spot during Memorial Day weekend and Chris set us up. Now showers, flat gravel site with pull through between hookups and picnic table platform.

            I stay here at least once every summer. Has beautiful pool and lake, playground, arcade, and boat rentals. Fishing, hiking, basketball. Very friendly staff all the time. Close to stores and restaurants but far enough out to not hear any noise. Phone service is superb. Clean shower and restrooms. Hot water. Electric tent sites!!! Has everything I live and will continue to go here as long as I’m in the state of Va. def recommended

            Neat, tucked away and quiet

            This place is relatively small, but surrounds a small lake. Sites are close together, but everyone is respectful. Bathrooms leave something to be desired, and there is no family bathroom, but otherwise decent and the water is hot. With a little work this place could be great.

            Tranquility! You will see deer while looking at the mountains all around!

            We spent 2 nights away from any road with lots of deer and beautiful mountain views! The owner is very friendly and so accommodating! our 40 ft rig is maybe not the right camper for this area but we enjoyed every minute of it! We had a beautiful hike in Fairystone Park and relaxed the rest of the time.

            We will come back!!

            Peaks Of Otter Campground — Blue Ridge Parkway

            Mostly perfect

            The pros:

            • Clean Bathrooms with flushable toilets
            • quiet campground
            • close to the lodge and “store” if you need firewood or other items
            • bear boxes scattered throughout the campground
            • $20 per night
            • BEAUTIFUL in the fall!
            • they have more campsites available on FCFS basis than they do for reservations on recreation.gov

            The not so great:

            • the campsites can be tricky to get into depending on your vehicle. Many of the parking areas are on a hill.

            Overall, I would stay here again!

            The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

            The Good: nice staff; easy check in; easy access from the interstate; felt safe; no problems with electrical/water/sewer. The Bad: sites too close; gravel roads need attention; sites not level; constant highway noise. The Ugly: a few rigs appear not to moved in the past two decades with mold covering every surface. The Summary: didn’t use restrooms or bath house; would stay here again due to proximity of Roanoke (family).

            Outstanding

            The owner David is the most accommodating host I've ever met.  Some friends & I stayed during the 2023 Blue Ridge Rock Festival (which was a disaster) & David & his crew went EXTREMELY far out of their way to make sure we had water, power, & even transportation!  I can not say enough kind things about this place & the people.  We will see you again!!
