    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!

    Douthat State Park Campground

    Amazing Park With Everything You Need!

    This park is in one of my favorite parts of VA. Very beautiful area with plenty of off grid seclusion! It’s a nice scenic drive getting to the park on a quiet and well maintained back road.

    The rangers at the park are very knowledgeable and kind and have no problem answering questions. There are many camping areas in the park, Some near creeks and on the lake as well. There are also cabins here! Plenty of picnic areas and great fishing as well!

    It’s $8 a day for a fishing pass and you can rent John boats or kayaks here as well, In season the lake and creek are stocked with plenty of Rainbow trout. You can keep them for dinner if you like! Just follow all DNR laws on size and amount!

    Some spots include clean bathrooms, hot showers, soda machines, fish fillet tables, Picnic tables, fire pits and so on.

    I highly recommend this park for your next getaway or along your way!

    Loft Mountain Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Loft Mountain Campground in Shenandoah National Park

    In our opinion this is the best campground in Shenandoah National Park. Sites are large and many offer privacy. Sites include fire ring and picnic tables. Some of the sites have a mountain view where you can watch the sunset. The campground has great facilities including flush toilets, hot and cold running water, indoor showers ($1.75 for 5 minutes), laundromat, camp store with groceries, camping supplies, wine and beer, sandwiches, and morning coffee. The sites are $15 per night in this campground, and there is an entrance fee into Shenandoah National Park (we paid $30 for a week). The Appalachian Trail runs thru this campground and offers some great hiking.

    Sun Retreats Shenandoah Valley

    Great Summer Location

    We recently stayed in one of the cottages. The cottage had a basic kitchen with sink, plenty of counter space, mini fridge, and some utensils and dishes. Perfect for the simple life! There were multiple picnic tables out back of the unit with a fire ring and of course lake front not even a stones throw away. The campground has plenty of activities from multiple playgrounds to activities every weekend. They rent golf carts which it great because the place is huge. There is also a very small fishing pond in the campground.

    Bear Creek Lake State Park Campground

    Well maintained with lots of recreational activities

    Part of the VA State Park system, BCL is exceptionally well-maintained. Most of the site are RV accessible, but there are a few tent-only sites along the lake, which is where we stayed. These sites are absolutely beautiful--great lake views, and while the only swimming allowed is at the roped off beach area, there is a canoe launch and fishing opportunities right at the campsites.

    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.

    All sites have fire rings, lantern hooks, and extra long picnic tables. Tent pads are of varying sizes--we stayed in site A12 and our 6 person tent fit easily, and we could have fit a second one-many of our camp neighbors had 10 person tents set up.

    The water view loop was not heavily trafficked, though the water does provide a hazard if you have small children as it is not roped off in any way. Our kids loved having the water right there and we loved watching them, it just requires extra vigilance. Loops B and C have more sites that are very shady but closer together, and there is more vehicle and bicycle traffic going past campsites.

    Bathrooms are clean, and have showers and electrical outlets to charge devices if needed.

    The park has lots of hiking, including trails that go directly from the camp sites to the swimming area, boat/canoe rentals, cabins, fishing, and a lakeside diner that sells concessions. Campsites allegedly have Wifi though we did not test this to see how reliable it is.

    Cumberland County is only at 455' elevation, so the heat and humidity in the summer is intense--we were very uncomfortable our first night because of this, so fall would probably be the best time to go as it is when central Virginia has the best weather.

    Montebello Resort

    I had a nice time

    Montebello is a lovely campground. There are tent, RV sites and cabins with campground bathroom. There are showers, slop sink and laundry. The pond at front has stocked trout and a small lake in the back has bass and crappie. Suitable for paddle boats or kayak. There was also a playground for children. You check in at the cute store across the street.

    I stayed in the tent area. The site has a fine gravel pad, picnic table and fire ring. I was in site 2 near the lake. A crowd with chairs sat above my site on the hill that were rather noisy. But biggest drawback was distance to bathroom which I had to drive to.

    Lots of good trails nearby and a small one around the lake. I plan to return in the fall.

    Loft Mountain Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Shenandoah National Park

    We did not have a reservation and were lucky to get a site. It is a large campground with 200 sites for RV's & tent campers. The site we had was primitive, no water or electric, but had a picnic table, fire ring, & a bear box. Although the sites were close, they were situated to maximize privacy. The campgrounds had plenty of restrooms with flush toilets & sinks. The camp store has laundry facilities and showers that you must pay for, $1.75 for 5 minutes. The grounds and facilities are very clean. An added bonus, you can access the Appalachian Trail right from the campgrounds that provides amazing views

    Loft Mountain Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Camping in the national park is the best!

    Loft Mountain was the third stop on our tour of Shenandoah National Park. First stop traveling south on Skyline Drive was Mathews Arm and second was Big Meadows at about the halfway point. Loft Mountain is at about the 3/4 mark. These parks are well spaced for viewing and hiking in between each campground.

    I'm a big fan of campgrounds in national parks. Why do I like this one? Pretty much the same reasons as I liked the other Shenandoah campgrounds:

    • All the basic needs are available in a scenic setting.

    • Generator-free sections (because I hate noisy generators)

    • About 75% of the sites are first-come, first-served sites so you should always be able to find a site if you arrive early.

    • The $15 price is a bargain and our Lifetime Senior Pass cuts the fee in half.

    • Hiking: There's a lot to keep you busy in the entire national park, but rainy, foggy weather kept us from exploring as much as we'd like. We'll be back!

    Things to Know About the Sites

    • Some sites have food storage boxes. Use them as an alternative to keeping food locked in your vehicle.

    • Walk-to tent sites: It's not a long walk to your site from a designated parking spot.

    • I was surprised to see that most sites (other than walk-to tent sites) have long, pull through parking pads, and most have a grass buffer (and possibly a few trees) separating the site from the road. These asphalt pads can accommodate RVs of all sizes and have a spacious area behind the pull through with a picnic table, fire ring and room for a tent. Great sites!

    • Generator-free sites in loop F and part of G are reservable sites. If you want one of these sites, I recommend a reservation. See the site map photo.

    Amenities

    • Restrooms with a utility sink outside some of them

    • Potable water and trash/recycling stations are spread throughout the park. These are all shown on the site map photo.

    • Camp store with ice, wood and limited food choices is a short walk from the campground entrance.

    • Showers: $1.75 for 5.25 minutes. These are located in a restroom near the campstore and look new. There is a handicapped accessible shower/bathroom combination.

    • Laundry facility near the camp store

    Loft Mountain Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Pleasantly surprised

    I’ll admit, I was slightly skeptical booking this place. I don’t really dig large group areas and car camping much anymore... but this place was pretty cool. We got a walk in site, so our tent was way far away from cars and other people. The site included a fire pit w/grill grate, picnic table, and metal bear box. We did have any neighboring campers that we could see or hear, just a few groups off in the distance. There was a convenience camp store that came in super handy. It also offered showers (for $1.75), laundry, and hot coffee, among other things. The campsite was tucked between some really nice hiking areas, so we didn’t have to go far to check stuff out. I absolutely approve of this place. Recommended.


Guide to Roseland

Cabins near Roseland, Virginia range from basic shelters to fully equipped mini-houses within a 30-mile radius of this Blue Ridge Mountain community. The area sits at approximately 800 feet elevation with surrounding mountains reaching over 3,000 feet, creating temperature variations between valley and ridge accommodations. Most cabins in this region are accessible year-round though winter road conditions may require four-wheel drive for properties along unpaved forest roads.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Montebello Resort maintains a stocked trout pond where visitors pay by the pound for their catch. "The trout pond is not what they make it out to be on the website. It's a very small pond with zero shade at the entrance of the resort. It is not catch and release, it is catch and keep, whatever you catch, you pay for power pound," explains one camper who stayed at Montebello Resort.

Star-gazing sessions: James River State Park offers exceptional night sky viewing opportunities as an International Dark Sky Park. "This is a wonderful spot for viewing the stars because of the lack of light pollution. James River State Park has been named an International Dark Sky Park," notes a visitor to Red Oak Campground.

Waterfall hikes: Multiple trails lead to cascading water features within short driving distance of cabin accommodations. "The falls are a great hike and there are lots of services nearby. A great Parkway stop," reports one camper who stayed at Crabtree Falls Campground.

What campers like

River proximity: Many cabins offer direct access to flowing water for wading, swimming, and relaxation. "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," notes a camper at Crabtree Falls Campground.

Trust-based operations: Several cabin providers maintain an honor system for firewood and store purchases. "A lot of things are bought on the trust system (pay for what you use for firewood, put store items on a tab until check out). Loved this place," explains a visitor to Crabtree Falls Campground.

Private bathhouses: Newer facilities at some properties offer individual bathroom units rather than communal setups. "Best bathhouse I've encountered with something like 7 unisex bathrooms each with their own shower," reports a visitor to Lynchburg / Blue Ridge Parkway KOA.

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Most cabins experience limited connectivity with spotty data access. "Verizon service is spotty 1 to 2 bars and unreliable data but with a directional cell booster we are able to get enough signal for our Verizon Jetpack to work," explains a visitor to Red Oak Campground.

Bathroom facility access: Some properties have central facilities requiring significant walking distance from cabin sites. "The campground did have facilities that were about a quarter mile walk away from our sites; this is something to consider if you are camping with older folks or children," notes a Crabtree Falls Campground visitor.

Weather considerations: Mountain cabins experience rapid weather changes including sudden storms and temperature swings. "It rained the whole time we were there, but the on site, free dryer was a life saver - no dog trapped in a wet hoodie!" shares a camper who stayed at Crabtree Falls Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Interactive ranger programs: Several parks offer scheduled educational activities led by staff. "We enjoyed a fire making class followed by s'mores on Friday night and then an owl searching hike on Saturday night," notes a visitor to Red Oak Campground.

Activity variety: Properties offering multiple recreation options help keep children engaged. "Activities that can be done include tubing on the river, canoeing and kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding trails, wagon ride, and lots of park events," explains a camper from Red Oak Campground.

Kid-friendly water access: Some cabins provide safe water play areas suitable for younger visitors. "This place was so serene and secluded. Each campsite was a little drive away from each other which was very nice in terms of privacy. Plus, the campsites have trails that go directly to the river!" reports a visitor to Misty Mountain Camp Resort.

Tips from RVers

Site selection factors: RV sites vary significantly in size, privacy, and hookup access. "The sites are piled on top of each other. The amenities like paddle boats and kayaks were a fun addition to the site pay. The lake is small but nice. The bath house is very big," notes a camper from Montebello Resort.

Tight access roads: Several cabin properties have narrow entrance roads that present challenges for larger vehicles. "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," advises a visitor to Montebello Resort.

Hook-up positioning: Some sites have unusual utility placement requiring extra cords and hoses. "Site 50 is a bit strange. Camping area is big enough for a small rig but the power pedestal is far away, so you might have to be creative in setting up. Unless you have a long power cord or don't hook up at all," explains a visitor to Misty Mountain Camp Resort.
