RV camping near Scottsburg, VA ranges from full-hookup lakefront sites to seasonal resorts with 30-amp and 50-amp service across multiple campground loops. Staunton River State Park Campground provides RV camping with electric hookups and water connections on well-maintained sites. Full-service motorhome sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and trash disposal. The park accepts reservations year-round and accommodates large rigs on level gravel pads. Thousand Trails Lynchburg RV Resort operates seasonally from late April through October, offering both 30-amp and water hookups across multiple camping loops. North Bend Park features lakefront RV sites with 50-amp electric service, sewer connections, and water hookups on spacious pull-through rv pads. "Almost every site has a bag over their electricity. Limited 50 amps. Lots of road wash outs."
Advance booking is essential during summer months and holiday weekends when lakeside motorhome sites fill quickly. Most RV parks in the region maintain dump stations, though Longwood Campground at John H. Kerr Reservoir restricts their use to overnight guests only. Several campgrounds report sloping terrain that can challenge larger motorhomes. "A lot of the sites are sloped. Very hard to level out an RV," noted one visitor about nearby Hyco Lake State Park. Mayo Lake Park maintains 30-amp service with water hookups and can accommodate big rigs, though the access road features curves that require careful navigation. Cell service varies throughout the region, with stronger signals near larger towns and potential dead zones in more remote camping areas.

TravelerWe stayed in Henderson Point Campground, loop 2, site 68 in late August. 30 amp hookup, drinking water hookup was easily accessible (no need for a super long hose), no sewer hookups. The site was a back in and pretty level with only a slight decline as you move toward the rear. The view was absolutely gorgeous. East facing, the semi private beach was easily accessible and only maybe 50ft from the site. From what I could tell the campground was booked that weekend but you could barely hear any noise from your neighbors. The only complaints would be that the bathrooms are kind of far from this site (I never actually went but imagine a good 5 minute walk) and the dump station is about a mile away. Neither of these would keep us from returning; we can hardly wait to go back to this campground.
TravelerThe site is directly on the lake. Mere steps from your door. Beautiful view on the adjacent shoreline and bridge. Rocky shoreline. Easy to back in. I only have 2 complaints. The proximity of neighbors. The only thing separating you from site 24 is the tent pad. And the site length listed is a little misleading. It says 40 feet which I assume is true. But we fit our 27 foot travel trailer in there and had a really hard time wedging our tow vehicle (F250) in there. Parked at an odd angle on the tent pad. Wouldn’t choose this site again but definitely recommend for a smaller trailer.
GuideWe camped here during Thanksgiving. It's a county run campground so the employees were off during Thanksgiving so they gave us a key to the gate if we needed to leave when no-one was there. The campground is primarily designed for small campers but there are a few spots that would accommodate campers in the 40 foot range. Three are two loops, one for RVs and one for tent campers. The loop for RVs has a one way curvy road to the loop. The bathhouse isn't in the loop it is at the top of the hill. The site that is closest to the bathhouse is site 27 and it will accommodate large campers. The dump station isn't near the RV loop it is near the tent loop.
GuideSite 16 Left (non-electric) September 18-21, 2020 Average Daily Temp: 76 Average Night Temp: 51 Arrived on a beautiful early Fall Friday afternoon. Host was extremely friendly and welcoming. He offered great advice and information for this first time visit. Firewood is not available on site. You have to travel back to a self service trailer about 4 miles near the local CVS on Route 58. In my humble opinion, Site 16 was the best view of the Lake and has easy accessibility (see photos). Because of the low evening temps, most of the non-electric sites were empty. We basically had run of the area. Pet friendly and very well kept areas. Rock pad for parking and tent set up. Bring a pad if you plan on sleeping on the ground. Two tables, fire pit, and lantern post on sites. Boat parking available close to this site. Swimming was fantastic. Fishing was even better. Will be back.
TravelerHad everything we needed and was a nice 30 amp hookup and water hookup and a dump sight but the wifi extended do need a bit of an upgrade.
TravelerRemote and quiet location. In season this place is very busy. Our visit is pre Memorial Day so it is low key. 80-90% of sites are 30 Amp. Limited 50 amp. TT maintains all facilities in a similar way and your experience will vary. We are passing thru so to be fair, it is best to come back for a longer stay
TravelerGreat inexpensive State park right on the Kerr Lake reservoir. Large gravel pads with fire ring, picnic table and on our site a beach where we could swim and launch our kayaks from. We are tent camping. Other sites for tents, and RV’s have electric. Easy online reservation.

The region sits at approximately 300 feet elevation with a humid subtropical climate featuring hot summers and mild winters.

Stargazing opportunities: Staunton River State Park Campground has been recognized as an International Dark Sky Park with exceptional night sky viewing. "The park offers rentals of telescopes that can be checked out for free at the visitor's center. If you love stargazing this is the park for you," notes Elena B. The park has a large open field by the check-in area specifically designated for astronomy.
Hiking trails: Occoneechee State Park Campground maintains several trails including the Plantation Trail that passes historical markers and sites. "This is a great campground all around. The sites have ample room and they're spaced far enough apart that you actually have privacy. The lake is gorgeous and offers fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and SUPing," reports Lisa M.
Water activities: The region offers multiple lake access points for fishing, swimming and boating. "We kayaked around Bugg's Lake. Used the boat launch near the office - nice place to put in. The whole trip we saw lots of birds, squirrels, deer, and raccoons," one visitor mentioned about their experience at Occoneechee State Park.
Lake access: Many sites at Hibernia Campground — Kerr Lake State Recreation Area offer direct water access. "We had a great site, right on the lake. Could launch our kayaks, fish and swim right from our site! Was a great way to cool off and just enjoy the beautiful water," shares Jeanna Marie C. Sites 41, 44, 22, and 20 are noted as particularly good waterfront locations.
Clean facilities: The bathhouses at multiple campgrounds receive positive comments. "The bathrooms here are impeccable, best of any campground we've been to," says EMRY H. about Hibernia Campground. Facilities are routinely maintained with many campgrounds offering shower facilities.
Privacy between sites: North Bend Park gets high marks for site spacing. "The lot was level and I didn't feel like I was on top of my neighbors. The facilities are well maintained and they have handicap bathroom and shower stalls," notes Heather. North Bend features multiple camping loops with Loop C frequently mentioned as a favorite.
Seasonal operations: Many rv campgrounds near Scottsburg operate on limited schedules. "The campground is close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiking trails (a plus!) but, definitely opt for a full hook-up site! Only open from May to October each year so be sure to check that out before just showing up," warns Bran P. about Thousand Trails Lynchburg.
Site leveling challenges: Several campgrounds in the region have uneven terrain. "Site descriptions on the website could be updated to better reflect the site. Site 65, as well as others in the immediate area, are listed as 'level' but that is far from reality," shares Glenn F. about Hibernia Campground.
Limited cell service: Coverage varies significantly throughout the Scottsburg area campgrounds. "If you have to have cell phone service it is very spotty," mentions Barb T. about Mayo Lake Park. Signal strength improves closer to towns like Clarksville.
Pool access: Staunton River State Park Campground maintains a swimming pool that's popular with families. "Large, flat and level spots were great. The pool here is amazing and it's a designated star watching area," shares Carrie A. The park also offers a nature learning lab with wildlife exhibits.
Beach areas: Look for campgrounds with dedicated swimming zones. "There's a cove with a sandy beach and clear water just steps away. Our kids enjoyed hours of time swimming and floating on rafts," reports S K. about their experience at Hibernia Campground on Kerr Lake.
Wildlife viewing: Multiple parks offer opportunities to observe local animals. "While staying there I saw a skunk, a groundhog, several deer and a great variety of birds. We enjoyed gorgeous sunsets from a little beach area near the cabins," explains Elena B. about Staunton River State Park.
Hookup limitations: Check campground utilities before booking. "Remote and quiet location. In season this place is very busy. Our visit is pre Memorial Day so it is low key. 80-90% of sites are 30 Amp. Limited 50 amp," reports John B. about Thousand Trails Lynchburg. Many Scottsburg area RV sites offer water and electric but fewer provide sewer connections.
Road conditions: Some rv campgrounds near Scottsburg, Virginia have access challenges. "The road leading to the camping area is single lane so if you meet another camper going the other way it could get a little dicey," explains Brandon C. about Mayo Lake Park. Longer rigs may want to check accessibility before arriving.
Site selection research: "Sites are in close proximity by pairs, but large enough not to feel cramped," notes Mike C. about North Bend Park. When possible, check site photos on reservation websites before booking, as many campgrounds provide images of individual sites to help with selection.
