Highway noise from Route 60 provides a constant backdrop at this small walk-in campground that accepts cash or Venmo payments on-site. Waltons Campground sits near water features and offers basic amenities including a clean porta-potty, drinking water spigot, and a woodshed stocking firewood bundles for $5. Security cameras monitor the entrance and exit points.
The walk-in access keeps vehicle traffic minimal within the camping area itself. Picnic tables and fire rings accommodate traditional car camping setups, though campers pack gear from parking to their sites. Solo travelers and those wanting campgrounds near Clifton Forge will find this spot manageable for weekend trips when seeking basic facilities without frills.
Description
Located just minutes off exit 29 on I-64 in the beautiful, eastern end of Alleghany County is the newly formed Waltons Campground. This cozy, family owned and managed area offers seven rustic tent campsites and one additional site that can accommodate a small camper not exceeding 15ft in length. Providing a great balance between primitive and comfortable, Waltons Campground offers county furnished, potable water and a non-flush toilet. Every campsite is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring and lantern hanger for your convenience. Parking for one vehicle per site is included within the interior of the campground with additional parking available to the left of the exit. We do not have a shower facility.
Less than 1000 ft across Nicelytown Road you will find the Sharon Park and public access to the pristine Cowpasture River where many kayak, fish, and play all summer long. The charming small town of Clifton Forge is 4 miles away.
