Best RV Parks & Resorts near Shawsville, VA

The Greenbrier River RV Park campground was fine. It was right on the Greenbrier River and you could do float, kayak and canoe trips from the campground. There were full hook-up sites and tent sites (right on the river). The sites were pretty big and most were shaded. It was close (less than 15 minutes) to Lewisburg and to the Greenbrier River Trailhead in Caldwell. There were no walking paths or bike paths in the campground which was my only issue. Some people didn't like the trains that passed by periodically, but I like trains so no complaints here. We took a day to explore the New River Gorge National Park. Beautiful!

Great small rv park in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Very level sites, considering the terrain. Many hiking trails . Very friendly owners. Will stay here again. Close to I77.

Very nice campground... Went on Labor Day weekend 2019, mainly because nothing else was available. But, I was very pleased with the Wytheville KOA Holiday, from their full hook-up, easy access sites to their very nice pool with waterslide!

The campground is so convenient to the BRP! The owners are friendly and easy to talk to. The campground is clean, scenic, and hilly.  We had no issue navigating with our 27' trailer.  We saw several class A's and a large 5th wheel here too.  All RV sites are on gravel and level. Sites are full hookup with 20, 30, and 50 amp receptacles available  Firewood is available.   We used the 2-washer laundry (not coin-op $5 wash and dry paid at office) with no issues.  Yesterday we drove to nearby Mt. Airy (Mayberry) and enjoyed the Andy Griffith Museum.  We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome campground, quiet and less than a mile off of 81. All pull thru, full hookup, and level sites. Pool and bathhouse are open. We had only planned to stay the night but decided to stay a couple of days to let weather pass us by. Thanks to reviews in dyrt we made an informed decision to stay here. Office very helpful and friendly. Will stay here again in our way home. And great BBQ a mile away.

Stayed here for 2 nights, the location is wonderful, many sites front the lake, which could be rather cold, although they provide such lovely surroundings.  Waking up to sunrise over the water, as the cold air turned to mist over the warmer water was pretty spectacular. Each site was comfortable, we had a fire ring, picnic table, and a full hook-up, although water at each site was turned off (end of November), water was still available a few hundred feet away. The site volunteers were wonderful, former park rangers, bathrooms were very clean, firewood was available and there were dumpsters to leave our trash on the way out. This is a very family-friendly campground, there were a good deal of kids riding their bikes around at all hours, so if you are planning to sleep in, this may not be the spot.

Been on the road 4 weeks and this is the best campground/rv park we’ve stayed at. Beautifully kept grounds, run by a lovely husband-wife duo. Nice level rv sites at competitive prices, we paid the extra $5 for a deck which was great. Bathrooms are so clean and feel like home. Trails and a pond as well. Couldn’t really ask for much more!

I was traveling in this area and was really excited to have found that there is a town called Austinville where Stephen F Austin, a founder of Texas, originated. While driving out to the monument in his honor I found this site and loved what I saw!

Highway access to this area is easy for all types of traveler. there are several stores in the area with just about anything you could need or want only moments away from camp and if you are there in late summer when I was, the sun rises are amazing!!!!

So what is the catch?? Well they don't accept tents!!! NOOOOOO!! I didn't find a single thing about that online when I checked their site following finding out this knowledge, however I did like this site enough to still give them a positive review because they were so nice, their facility was ample and their proximity itself.

In fact, they were so nice they gave me a tour of the campground even though I couldn't stay and gave me some great info about places around me which led me to another campground that served me perfect, a tent campground nearby.

This site has a very nice restroom with multiple sinks, a large laundry room perfect for a camper who is on the road for a while like myself. I noticed there was a very nice pool which is heated, allowing it to be open much longer than many campgrounds in the area. There is a large pet area and also playground and several hiking areas in the direct area which all looked nice.

Nearby are numerous state parks as a part of the New River Trail including the Shot Tower Historical Site which is a very short distance away. In addition, people often come here to watch the birds and deer, which are very relaxing.

Should I return with an RV I also inquired about the rates which are reasonable at $35 for standard hook ups and they do have weekly rates also. I did notice what appeared to be a few long term campers but their areas still looked kept and maintained.

TIPS:

• Call in advance if you will be arriving late in the evening. The management lives on property and will make arrangements to meet you.
• Take advantage of the historic Wrythesville walking tour, you can get information about this in the office and it is WELL WORTH IT!!

Nice campground.  Like a lot of private RV parks, the sites tend to be very close to each other.  Beautiful backdrop of the mountains with mist and low clouds.  Gravel parking pads.

Fort Chiswell RV park in Virginia is a very clean park beautiful trees paved driveways and a bathroom that is very clean and at the end of the bathrooms actually have tables at Pavilion They have Wi-Fi they also have cable TV so that was nice to have the extras while camping we camped there for four days and it was very nice the people are extremely nice

This is the second time I am reviewing this State Park campground. You can see my review from last year on my ranger page. Pipestem is chock full of plenty of activities to keep your family busy. You can trout fish at the bottom of the mountain from the main lodge accessible by a four person tram ride. There is a couple nice restaurants on site and off site. Horseback riding, hiking, boating, a fire tower you can climb, and an outdoor movie theater on the wknds a few miles from pipstem. You can find out what is showing for each wknd on the (Pipestem drive-in) FB page on every Tuesday. there is a very big swimming pool with a wonderful golf course situated right beside of the pool. The campground itself has over a hundred camping spots. half with full hook ups for campers, and the other half for tent camping. Each site is spacious enough to not be right up against another campsite. There is fire pits and picnic tables at each site. You can get a camping site with electric which is very convenient when camping for several days. They have shower facilities and a laundry room. There is also a place to empty your camper refuse. all in all this campsite isn't one that is rugged and can be very busy at times, but it is a good one for a families with kids. I try to go once a year with my wife and kids because there is just so much to do.

Camped in one of 5 tent camping spaces. They also have cabins / RV spaces and a motel. Check in was quick and the people running the campground were so friendly and great to deal with! Each site has a water pump and power. And the bathhouses are immaculate - showers are nice and hot and have good pressure. Firewood and fire starter available for purchase. Laundry room on site. Would absolutely stay here again!

This campground is located right outside of Floyd, VA and just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a beautiful venue with rolling grassy hills and acres of woods with hiking and mountain biking trails. They have full hookup RV sites along with dry ones and multiple tent camping options!They also have free wifi along with a brand new 9 hole disc golf course!

Small campground, but very nice. Well maintained, full hookups, they also have cabins and a motel. The owner is very nice, and helpful . Would definitely stay again!

This is a National Park Service campground located along the Blue Ridge Parkway, a short distance north of the famous& scenic Mabry Mill. It’s open Memorial day through late October and reservations are available online, but also offers a significant complement of first-come, first-serve sites. Only 28 of the sites are suitable for RVs. The larger sites are located in a loop that runs parallel to the Parkway, so you may experience a little more road traffic noise. Loop C is tent only and farthest from the main road. Bring cash or check to pay for your site if you arrive without a reservation and need to pay at the iron ranger.

Cell service is poor. Some of the sites have bear lockers, so be sure to put away your food and scented toiletries. Sites are wooded, though the T loop is more open

Facilities are limited, with hot water and flush toilets, but no showers or hookups. For RVs, there is a dump station. Firewood is for sale. There's also a group site located near the back of loop C

In addition to the scenic drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway and historic sites, there are trails to explore, including the more rigorous Rock Castle Gorge trail that will take you past waterfalls and an old CCC camp. A downside to many of the hikes along the Parkway is that you start at the top and hike down, so you’ll have an uphill hike toward the end. You may see wildlife: deer, turkeys and bear frequent the area.

We visited Pipestem State Park for the first time in Sept 2022. We arrived after dark and although we had great directions provided to our site, for a first timer to the park it was a little nerve racking maneuvering around the campground in the dark. The roads and sites are tight for a larger camper (ours is a 37’ TT). Electrical hookup is on the opposite side than the water and sewer, so make sure your cord is long enough or carry an extension cord (ours was site 14 full hookup). We only spent the weekend, but we’ve decided to come back in the summer and spend at least twice as much time since there’s so much to do. We rode the tram, did axe throwing, hiked, visited the nature center, and rode horses in our short time there. Definitely a beautiful park despite the smaller campsites.

Great campground, we have stayed here several times, great home base while scouting the surrounding areas. Lots to see and do in area. Not to mention lots of activities. They have lots of cabins different types including tee,pees full hookups and lots of amenities.
