Hurricane Campground

We stopped here for the night on our way to Kentucky. The campground is nice and the host was very friendly and attentive. There were showers, but when we were there there was a problem with the well, and we were advised to be careful about how much water we used. 

  

I have no complaints but that for just tent camping, the price seemed a little high. Now we could have found something cheaper, but I do feel it's a bit higher than what I typically pay for sites similar to this. 

  

At the end of the day, this was a nice spot, close to some trails and it's pretty well taken care of.

A nice spot, albeit a little pricey

Great campground with large sites and a nice bathroom with warm showers. Stayed 2 nights but would have liked to stay longer. Really good access to the AT, we saw no one for 6 miles except a bear. 

Quiet and Well-kept

Closed for the season

This is a beautiful campground located alongside a stream with trout fishing. Site#2 in particular is susceptible to flash flooding, but if the forecast is for dry weather, it would be hard to beat this site. Opening delayed in 2021 because of difficulty getting a campground host, but volunteers had been clearing and cutting wood, stacking it at the campsite. Another volunteer group had recently done some restoration along the riverbank.

  

Sites are large and wooded and first come, first serve. Bathroom facilities include vault toilets as well as flush toilets with showers. The steep road to the campground is also the AT, so it’s not unusual to see through-hikers making their way (I passed at least a dozen in late April). There is a loop away from the river with a number of sites best suited to tents or vans rather than RVs.

Wooded sites along the river

Getting close to dark on a holiday weekend when we found this place. The hostess was very friendly and welcoming, even offered to deliver our firewood since we were on motorcycles. 

The Hostess with the Mostest

Amazing little campground in the heart of Mount Rogers recreational area in Western Virginia. Wonderful fall colors crisp, clean, mountain air was totally the best!￼

Colorful and Crisp Camping 

This camp ground is located well off any main roads under a nice quiet canopy of Hemlocks and Laurel trees. Easy walking distance to several well maintained and very clean outhouses. The camp ground has a small babbling creek on one side. Some open grass areas and a few hill side camp spots. ( Heavy Rain and this may flash flood ) We had 5 miniature poodles with us. Nothing but good fun at a wonderful campground. I was happy to pay the $20 a night fee. You can tell it really does go to upkeep there.  

Nice and Quiet

Located in the George Washington &amp; Jefferson National Forests this campground was a nice find.

Not crowded at all, maybe 5 other campers. Extremely quiet &amp; relaxing stay.

With 26 sites no one was stacked on top of each other.

We grabbed site 19 I believe.  Had a great parking area for the bikes and a small walk to the site.

Nice open fields, which were well maintained.  Close enough to the brook.  Sadly, water level was very low so no fishing. 

Fire ring, picnic table, pole to hold a lantern, and even land to pitch a tent.

All grounds were well maintained, spigot area and toilets were clean and well stocked.

Small, quiet little gem

We absolutely had an amazing time even with the rain. Very quiet and peaceful. Nice creek for kids to play in as well as a open field great for catching the night sky.

Fun, small and clean.

Stayed for 3 nights after visiting laurels caverns from up north - absolutely no reception so be sure to have everything squared away before entering the park! 

Extremely clean sites with designated tent areas. Showers are also warm one on each side of the campground. Just be sure to leave a 2 dollar payment at the station by the entrance.

Despite the 3 days of constant rain, we made the best of it and enjoyed the hell out of our stay!
