2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks near Walkersville provide full hookup options for motorhome travelers. Elk River Camp and RV Park in Gassaway offers water, electric, and sewer hookups with sites that accommodate big rigs. "The sites were level and easily accessible, no shade but that worked well for us using Starlink," noted one visitor about a similar park in the region. Flatwoods KOA in Sutton remains open year-round with 50-amp service and pull-through sites on gravel pads with cement slabs. Whisper Mountain Campground in Roanoke features big-rig friendly spaces with 50-amp electrical service, while Sunny Glen RV Park provides basic water and electric connections for smaller motorhomes.
Mountain terrain affects road access to several campgrounds in the area. The approach to Eagle's Nest Campground involves narrow country roads that require careful navigation with larger rigs. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with stronger Verizon coverage reported at Flatwoods KOA but limited connectivity at more remote locations. Most RV parks welcome pets but enforce leash requirements. Dump stations are available at Bulltown Camp and Stonewall Resort State Park Campground for those staying at electric-only sites. A review mentioned that "the road is narrow and bumpy so big rigs be cautious" when approaching some of the more secluded parks. Winter camping options are limited, with Flatwoods KOA being one of the few facilities operating year-round.
"Very well lit with very modern water and electric hook ups. All slips have a fire pit, bar-b-que grill and picnic tables. Pavilions have great lighting and dimmers for a softer light. "
from $20 - $35 / night
"Stonewall Resort State Park is now the official name of this mountain retreat located around the edges of Stonewall Jackson Lake. "
"However, secreted away on the bank of Stonewall Jackson Lake, in Briar Point Campground there are five token tent sites."
"Each loop has its own showerhouse, remarkable children’s playground, and pavilion. Out of nearly 200 sites most sites have water/electric and numerous full sewer hookup."
"I’ve gone to park twice this month, it’s only 90 minutes from my house. Both times I got a spot on the lake…just 10-15 yards from the water."

"Rustic, clean porta johns, private, primitive spots on river. Community fire rings on beach area. Firewood available. Relaxing"
"Non electric spot but huge with a nice fireplace and benches. No picnic table but great views of the river and the peaceful sounds of flowing water."
from $20 - $55 / night
"Camp Creek State Park West Virginia. This was a drive through, we didn't camp here. This State Park is only 2 miles from I- 77! Exit 20.
This is a hiking park & also has horse trails.
"
"Nice sites they have; full hookups, water and electric, some just electric, and they also have boondocks sites near the waterfall."
"Great grounds, lots of shade down in a valley. Great cell phone service for Verizon. Wide RV spots. Full hookup with e/w/s. Nice pool area. Pool area is at the hotel. Hotel/KOA same owner."
"Just off Highway 79 but far enough away you feel like you are in the wilderness. The campground has 4 distinct areas for rigs which keeps it from feeling it is a RV parking lot."
from $55 / night
"Camp Holly is a beautiful campground in the mountains of West Virginia.. Off grid but they do offer Wifi."
"Beautiful, tucked away in the mountains. Owner very nice. Well kept camp grounds. Lots of fishing, hiking, relaxing. Store offers a variety of things. WiFi is strong."
from $35 - $85 / night
TravelerBeautiful camping sites along the river! This is a small State Park, but packs a punch with some beautiful trails, and direct river access from almost half of the sites. Nice camp store and heated, full bath houses with showers. Note that sites are gravel….so if tenting bring a cot and/or some extra cushioning. Wi fi is available within close range of the camp store. I was at Site #8.
TravelerThere are 25 or so established sights at Mower Basin and you're bound to find one with an incredible view of the mountains. Sight 12 took my breath away, but unfortunately as a tent camper the wind pushed us down to the lake sight just passed it. It was close to the road but still felt private. Everyone who passed our sight was very friendly. It's a gorgeous place, and from someone who's never been to Virginia, it was the perfect place to have my first experience. We will probably go back when we are heading back down south.
TravelerThis review is for the primitive boondockers like myself. It's a very established campground, full amenities, restaurant, gift shop, the works. I thought we would find a primitive campground with much more privacy based on the details and reviews of the grounds. The primitive camping spots are all in view of each other down a long stretch of dirt road. They're very clean and come with trash cans at each sight, which was nice. We were the only tent campers so it was enjoyable, but I don't know if I would have had the same experience if there were a lot of campers. I think that's a very important and left out detail about this location for the people who enjoy a more private environment. I'm still very happy with my stay, and the staff is absolutely WONDERFUL. They're all so kind and went out of their way to provide us with information when we had questions they didn't know the answer to, everyone who works there is a delight. 25$ a night felt a little much to sleep in our tent, but the showers, clean bathrooms, and care put into the property made it worth it. Waterfalls nearby as well. I'd stay again.
TravelerHuge campground. Well maintained. The lake is gorgeous, great for kayaking or paddle boarding
ScoutOvernight tent camping with my dog. Saw a raccoon in a tree. So private and peaceful. The water and wind at night made for a nice relaxing sleep. Plenty of trails to explore.
TravelerThis was a gem of a state park. It's small and older (which for me is a feature, not a bug), all entirely walkable with a central bathroom, camp store and playground at the heart of the campground. We had a site on the back of the campground that was larger than most (lots of small sites) and could fit our big tent set up. It rained like the dickens for a one of the days we were there and there was a drainage river running THROUGH our site that could have turned into a problem. Luckily the rain stopped in time and our site drained quickly. Despite all that, I loved our stay. It was VERY busy when we stayed, but I liked how it felt like a family retreat, where kids were safe to hop over to the playground to play with other kids, we could take walks right to the river for swimming or (after the rain) "viewing". If you can catch a dry weekend, this campground must be utter perfection. Would probably be dicey in sustained rain, especially if you're on the river itself.
ScoutIf youre looking for away from people. Away from most people youll be. Well taken care of.
RangerWe thoroughly enjoyed this camp spot right on the river. LOTS of different birds. And it was so quiet!
GuideThis is a very accessible trail. We brought our 22ft Ember Overland Trailer down it with ease. While our trailer has high clearance and independent suspension.. you do not need that to get to some great sites!
We tried 3 different sites here and found campground 12 to be our favorite. It is secluded off the road, had amazing views, and tons of room for multiple cars or campers.
Hiking trails are also great and dog friendly!
