Willville Motorcycle Camp
Great stop!!
Best campground I’ve stayed at on a bike. Very welcoming, quiet and peaceful. Few small town stores about a mile away including gas. Nice bath houses with shower. We had a fire every night and good conversation. Great stop, 10/10 I will make a point to be back!
Fort Chiswell RV Park
New Price
Dyrt says $40-$42. Price now is $56. Decent place. Easy on off off IH77. Prefer this to most KOA’s for value. Nice, tree filled sites, clean and well lighted shower rooms, rural setting, but near a city. Definitely would recommend.
Gatewood Park
Pricey
Saw $44 per night on website. Was charged $54 when I showed up.
Fancy Gap-Blue Ridge Parkway KOA
Favorite KOA yet
Our favorite KOA yet. Beautiful campground, nestled into forest with pines, deciduous trees, and native Rhododendron. Beautiful. Clean sites and facilities. Just off 77 not far from Roanoke. Would stay here again!
Fort Chiswell RV Park
Excellent Overnight
Busy but we spent a very quiet night and woke up to local livestock out the window. Glad we tried it!
Got propane and had easy access to highway in the morning.
Will be back
Salthouse Branch Campground
Nice
Nice and clean area as far as tent camping, beautiful area all and all. Would return for sure.
Wytheville KOA
Overnight
Overnight stop on our trip south. We got in early enough that we were able to get a game of bowling in before they closed. The pizza was good too. We had a nice pull through.
Wytheville KOA
Wouldn’t stay again
As far as the sites goes, ours was okay, but a lot of the sights were not level. All the sites to the left of the pond had the tongue on the ground and the rear jacks had pretty extreme crib blocks just to get the jacks to stabilize. The landscaping was not very well taken care of and the sites really need gravel. It was a muddy mess when it rained. On a positive note each site had a concrete pad.
The pool was extremely cold and had a lot of algae around the rim, but it does have the slide which my daughter enjoyed. The bowling alley had I think 6 lanes and it was pretty good. The putt putt golf is in rough shape so we didn’t even do it.
The staff that I dealt with were definitely odd. They weren't friendly at all, but rather very straight forward and weird. Altogether, I won’t stay here again. I will try on up the road at Fancy Gap or Mayberry on our travels through 77/74.
Fancy Gap-Blue Ridge Parkway KOA
FANTASTIC!
I typically steer clear of KOA's because most of the sites are super close together. This KOA is different! There is a row towards the front that are pretty close together, but I think they use those for one-nighters. We were in a tent and loved our spot. The staff was UNBELIEVABLY awesome and nice. They have a pool, a pond, a playground, a dog park, and a great camp store. The bathrooms and laundry room are exceptionally clean. If you order ice or firewood, they bring it to your site. They also have food you can order and they will bring it to your site. I am sure there are many things I am forgetting, but this is a must stay and we will be back.
Wytheville KOA
Beautiful campground, uncomfortable bed
There are a lot of good things to say about this campground and one negative. We stayed in a camper cabin to break up a long drive and the mattress was so thin that we could easily feel the metal frame through the "mattress" (really a thin pallet--hence the 3 stars, rather than 5). This KOA really needs to upgrade their mattresses, especially if they're charging such a high price for a cabin without a bathroom. Now onto the good stuff: it's a clean campground with a nice pool area and good camp store. The bowling alley was great and the on-site cafe has really good pizza. Tent campers have good options: I liked the 3 sites near the camp store because they were grassy and roomy enough for both tent and canopy. Other tent sites at the back of the campground were smaller, level, and had gravel pads. RV sites to either side of the fishing pond were mostly level and looked easier to navigate than the ones at the back of the campground; however, RV sites at the back had more shade. Had the bed been comfortable, I would have given this place 5 stars. I would be happy to return again (but this time as a tent camper).
Fancy Gap-Blue Ridge Parkway KOA
Beautiful and Quiet
Cool mountain breeze and cold water…wonderful visit and close to BRPkwy and Mt Airy
Mayberry Campground
Super Clean
Spent a month here. Had a nice end spot that allowed for a sneak peak of the mountains. Nicely laid out in levels that were nice. Great location for checking out the area too. Wifi worked fine. As did the cable.
Mayberry Campground
Big Rig Friendly
This campground is probably 90% big rigs. It’s a huge campground with 2 lakes, playground, RV store and shelter houses. There is only one shower house with one shower and two toilets on each side. Pet friendly on leash. Close to Mount Airy for those over 60 who want a trip down Memory Lane.
Mayberry Campground
Nice campground
Campground was nice, staff was helpful.
Site was level. Wifi was decent.
Only complaints it was near interstate traffic. The noise didn't keep us up at so it was tolerable. I was in site 95. Sites in other sections may have better.
Also there was only trash cans in the front of the park near the office. This made it inconvenient picking up after my dogs.
Wytheville KOA
Great KOA
This is a great stop! Clean and lots to do! Big campground with all the fun stuff!
Wytheville KOA
Great stop if passing through
We stopped here while driving down 81. It’s right off the highway, but nice and secluded. It’s a little barren (not enough trees) but the facilities and sites are quite nice. They even have a bowling alley on site! It’s nice enough we are stopping again on the way home.
Fort Chiswell RV Park
Beautiful
We stopped here on our way to Florida, extremely convenient to the 81/77 junction. The star of this show is the scenery - absolutely gorgeous, and their seriously out-of-date website doesn't do it justice. Surrounded on three sides by open fields full of cows and sheep, and awesome mountain views, this place couldn't have been any more peaceful. There's a pool but it was closed, and when I asked why the person working said, "no idea." That was the answer to a couple of questions - the person on wasn't the friendliest. We had to stay an extra night because of mechanical trouble, but we did laundry, walked around, just relaxed and watched the cows. Small store, ice and propane available. Full hook-ups. Some shade trees, close spaces but not packed too tightly overall. Lovely spot. Lost one star because the staff was meh.
Wytheville KOA
Awesome spot!
Passed through one night... exceeded our expectations! We are a triple axl 5th wheel and had tons of room to maneuver. Awesome family fun center with tons of games bowling, good etc.
Fort Chiswell RV Park
Quite But Just Off 81
Very relaxing. Great to take a couple days relaxing out of the hurry of city life. There is plenty of room to walk your pet and some of the sites provide shaded areas. You are just about .25 miles from the freeway, but you do not hear it. Staff is very friendly. They have propane and a little store for those that might need.
Fairy Stone State Park Campground
Our favorite
The park is so beautiful. The sites are a little rough but easy to level your rig. The park has great trails around it, they can be pretty challenging when it comes to elevation gain. The lake is wonderful. They were updating cabins when we were there last, they look great. The showers were clean and the bathroom was the same. The host was a nice gentleman. No Verizon service or WiFi. We go here to get away.
Mayberry Campground
Fantastic!!
This place will stay on our list for years to come! Very friendly staff and they had a camp store that rivaled camping world, which worked out for us because we ended up needing a specific part while traveling through. Sites are spacious and full hu. Super easy drive into “Mayberry” and you HAVE to go!
Willville Motorcycle Camp
One of my favorites
This is a great place to motorcycle camp. Clean showers, big fire pit, free coffee in the morning. Several restaurants nearby.
Claytor Lake State Park Campground
Just one night
Ideale for boating
Salthouse Branch Campground
Quiet
We came during week. It is real quiet, the bathrooms and showers are WONDERFUL!!! Even Heated one cold morning.
Fancy Gap-Blue Ridge Parkway KOA
Homeward travel disaster
As my fairly new truck self destructed climbing the Blue Ridge MTN, it was all I could do to get back to this campground. The staff was beyond helpful in getting us a spot for the night and moving us later on to a spot for the week after my truck went to the local dealer for repairs.
Fancy Gap-Blue Ridge Parkway KOA
Beach trip pit stop
Wonderful campground close to exit of I77. Old growth canopy of trees provide ample shade. Pool was nice. Restroom/Showers were wonderful and clean, also ample water pressure.
Wytheville KOA
Awesome family oriented place !
