Reservations are available at Gatewood Park, a municipally managed campground set on a reservoir outside Pulaski, Virginia. The drive in requires some patience since the campground sits well off the main road, but campers consistently report the distance is worth the effort. Around 35 sites ring the water, and most have direct waterfront access along with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. RVs up to 50 feet are accommodated.
Cell service is essentially nonexistent here. That's worth knowing before you arrive, and for many visitors it's part of the draw. Anglers and paddlers get the most out of the location: kayak rentals are available on site, and the reservoir supports regular fishing. Sites are level, and the bathhouses are kept in consistent shape, with multiple reviewers noting they are cleaned daily.
Nightly rates have shown some variation between what's listed online and what's charged at arrival, so it's worth confirming the current price directly before your trip. Dane R. describes it as "extremely clean and well maintained facility," a sentiment that surfaces across multiple reviews. Campfires are permitted, pets are welcome, and a dump station is on site for self-contained rigs.
Campers looking for something with a different setup nearby might consider Gatewood Park & Reservoir Campground just to the southeast, or Pioneer Village a few miles south.
