Mountain side camping
Peaks of Otter campground was built on the side of the mountain, many sites are terraced. Your RV is on one level and your picnic table and grill are on another. Some sites are pull through and others are back in. Few are level. Make sure and bring your leveling blocks with you. Our 23ft. trailer and truck just fit in site T44. Once you are all set up and find a space to fit in you are good to enjoy a very pretty and shady campground. There are no hookups so be prepared. We stayed in the T loop for trailers, it was just up over the hill from the main road, there was traffic noise until late in the evening and then started again in the early morning. We enjoyed the hiking trail to the restored farm stead and walking around the lake at the lodge. This is a great place to stop on your trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
