Rocky Knob Campground — Blue Ridge Parkway

Passing through. Stayed one night. Quiet and easy pull through. No hook ups on sites.

Stayed here during a thru drive of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was amazingly empty! I had my pick of lots of great campsites. The entire campground is under a forest canopy. There isn't much brush for privacy, but the sites are large and spaced out well. Mine had a nice level grassy area for tent pitching.

The air was pleasantly cool here, and there was a slight breeze. This made for a good night's sleep... once the thunderstorm passed, that is. It blew in without much warning; I was glad I already had my tent set up.

The only thing that bothered me here was the bathroom. It was bizarre. Zero lighting. The campground has electricity, but the bathroom does not. For sinks, you have a choice between one with a ridiculous low flow timed faucet, and one that blasts water onto your shoes and pants. And that thing on the wall that looks like a soap dispenser in the dark? Yeah, that's actually just hand sanitizer. No soap, no paper towels, no hand dryer. I prefer a nice vault toilet to this oddball thing. At least there I know what I'm getting and there are no surprises.

Right on the BR parkway. Nice, large sites. Great hiking. Quiet. Friendly staff.

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.

Rocky Knob is a good campground for a couple nights along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Loop C is tent only. Inner part of the loop sites are quite close to each other but have convenient access to bathhouse, which is kept pretty clean. Firewood $7 a bundle on the honor system, but is locked up at 5:30 each night. Great views of surrounding mountains in late October as the leaves fall away.

This was an absolutely gorgeous campground I wish I could have stayed at longer. We popped the tent for a night up here and although it poured on us all night, we still loved it. Hope to come back and visit again soon

On BRP near Floyd, VA. A lot of amenities in town and hiking trails nearby. Clean and quiet: no generators allowed in tent camping area and quiet hours after 10pm. Tent sites $20 per night at time of my stay.

Really nice campground on the parkway. Tons of open sites even on the weekend. Clean bathrooms, well maintained overall park.

This is a beautiful nature campground that has very primitive camping. Unless you have a self contained camper you should be ok. No running water at our site. But what it lacked in amenities it made up for in breathtaking mountainous views. Absolute beauty in its rarest form.

Wide open beautiful sites.   Many with pull through sites.   Lots of room.  Great for astronomy buffs.   Stopped here on our way north.  Drawback is no hookups or WiFi.  Would have been great to at least have water.  Only a few miles from Mabry Mill.

Hammock camping allowed

prinitive campsites with fire rings

hike in required on the gorge trail

beautiful area.

Located on the BRP not far from where it intersects with US-58. Sites are primitive, very shady, and for the most part sites are pretty small. Very nice place if you're into dry camping, or car camping.

C loop is best IMO. Far from RV sites, the spaces are quiet with plenty of room. We love it! A winery, meadery, restaurants, convenient stores, hiking trails, Mabry Mill, live music and Nancy's candy factory are all within short drives. Get firewood at nearby Poor Farmer's Daughter in Meadows of Dan as they don't sell it at the campground.

Rocky Knob Campground is right outside of Floyd, VA off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Southwest region of the state.

Why stay here? It's right outside of Floyd. They host Floyd Fest each year as well as a Yoga Jam. It's right off the Blue Ridge Parkway if you are traveling. Did I mention it's to Chateau Morrisette Winery?!

Our family stays here multiple times a year, it's a nice little getaway, yet still close to home. This Campground offers toilets and running water, but no showers so remember to bring your dry shampoo and bug spray depending on the time of year.

Sites are pretty close together, but we didn't mind. We pitched an 8 person tent, a hammock, and were quite cozy in front of the fire ring. Can't wait to visit again.

Good for families (kids ride their bikes through Campground), couples, singles.
