Stopped here for a quick overnight and this beautiful campground had us wishing we could stay longer.
Traveler
We stayed a night on a long trip up the coast and had a great experience. The shop was well appointed with necessities and wine from local. It was easy to get around the campground, and there were many nice spots and cabins to choose from. We had plenty of room to park our RV and there was a very nice new swingset Nearby. Noticed multiple people utilizing the fishing pond and there was a cornhole tournament going on at the other side of the park. That looks like a lot of fun. The only downside was that the shower house had one shower stall per gender and was not very clean. It also would’ve been nice to have some more places to set belongings or hooks.
Guide
Staff were GREAT!! Very clean bathrooms and hot showers. Grounds were clean and well maintained. 50+ sites with 4 bathrooms scattered in campground and 2 host sites. Wildlife abundant.
Scout
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.
Traveler
I’ve stayed here at least a dozen times. Nice loop with decks to put your tent on. Bathhouse is nice and has been renovated in the last few years.
Scout
This place was awesome. Private but well equipped with all the necessities you need. Very pleasant.
Traveler
The campground, paths, and bathrooms were very clean. Beautiful views at Rock Falls. If we didn't have our dogs with us we would have done hikes longer than 4 miles.
TravelerGreat spot, private, with good running water hot showers and flush toilets. Picnic table and fire ring with grate, the creek by our site was so nice and bubbling. Every spot was private and maintained. Absolutely no issues and was worth the $20, easy check in, self check out. Felt very safe here despite it being remote
Scout
Beautiful campsite. Well maintained. Bring ur own Wi-Fi as there is No cell coverage and the Wi-Fi does not work.
Ranger
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!
Scout
Super cabin huge swing on porch along with ample seating. There is a fire pit within a short walk. Our host JP was always available and helpful. Definitely will be back
Guide
The staff was very friendly, I received a warm welcome. The sites are clean, level and laid out well. I needed a quick overnighter and it was convenient. Easy to access of I-81 but that leads me to the only thing that kept me from giving all 5 stars.
The campground is very, very close to I-81 so you do here the traffic. A lot. If you are a light sleeper you may have issues with the traffic noise. That is the only negative in an otherwise very nice site.

When looking for a convenient ride on the trails and a place to stay that provides for all your needs, Hilltop Escape is the place! The campground is literally on several trails. Restaurant on-site. From breakfast to supper. Campfires in the evening. Lodging is comfortable and CLEAN! The stars from the mountaintop at night are amazing. The owner will meet you with a smile and can answer any question from the best place ride to giving helpful hints. Enjoy your time at Hilltop Escape.
ScoutWe stay here all season! Love all of the rentals and the campsite is top notch! Always clean and in great shape. Right next to outlaws and Hatfield McCoys plus a terrific restaurant right there at camp. We LOVE Hilltop Escape and highly recommend for all ages!
ScoutClean, well maintained campground. Rv sites are large and easy access to back into your site. Fire pits and picnic tables. Restaurant right next door. Cabin and camper rentals very well kept. Trails are literally out your front door. Popular place to stay yet not crowded. Don't be fooled by other places claiming to be right on the trails. This is it!
ScoutBusy 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
TravelerThis campground is well-maintained and in a beautiful location.It’s a pretty clean place with a friendly and personable staff.

I have stayed there many times. Awesome camping. Great views friendly staff
Traveler
We had unseasonably warm temperatures in October. Fall colors were just past peak. Our site was clean, spacious, level. Easily accommodated our 25 foot RV. Trails started close to our site and were just beautiful. Bath house was ok. There is a washer and dryer available. Plenty of grass for the pups to enjoy.
TravelerStayed here at the end of October and saw amazing foliage change. Beautiful colors hard to see elsewhere. The trails were great and clearly well maintained. Mike and Pam were fantastic helping us get settled. Likely will go back to catch some snow.
RangerLoved my site- I’m a tent camper and my tent just fit on the site- I had a tent footprint and padding inside my tent so as not to damage the tent floor - the site is a paved site meant for campers but I wanted to be by the creek! The bathrooms were in great condition and the camp hosts were very friendly!
TravelerFirst time visiting and camping, really enjoyed how clean and quiet the campground was. Campsite itself was perfect, close to hiking and easily accessible. Definitely will return!
Guide
Great spot right on the parkway. Owners are such a sweet couple!
Scout
Beautiful campground with cool playground, pool, pond, and arcade for kids. But the owners are grouchy.
Guide
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.
TravelerAs 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.
TravelerI 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.
