Customer Reviews
Newly renovated, you can camp by the creek and go to sleep with the sound of rushing water! Nice tent loop with lots of trees and an RV loop, some with pull thru sites. Very quiet. Potable water and dump station. Fishing at Otter Lake. Half hour to Natural Bridge Stste Park. Hiking trail to and around lake. No electric.
Camped here for one evening as we were traveling the BRP from mile post 1 to the end (or so we hoped). Our spot was wonderful, and very private. We backed up to a small creek and could only see the person to our left. Beautiful this time of year, and almost no one else in the campground. The restrooms were clean, warm and well lit when the motion lights were on - but bring a flashlight if you er... need to stay a while :)
This has been one of my favorite camp grounds since I was a young kid. I'm so glad it's still around to enjoy with my kids now. I only wish the store was still open because it was always a nice break from camping. We stay mostly on the tent side now. Camp sites are randomly setup. Some closer to each other then some. But plenty of space. The bath house is sufficient for us cause we typically only stay 2-3 days at a time. It's a great hidden gem of the Parkway!
A very pretty, older Campground. An easy drive from lynchburg either by 501 north or rt130 from Madison Heights, which is flatter if towing is a consideration. It is not a full featured campground but it does have restrooms with flush toilets and sinks. There is an rv dump station. The water supply there was turned off but I was able to empty the tanks. There is a potable water tap in the middle of the rv area about 50ft from the bathroom. I would imagine the B loop has one as well but didn't stay there. Plenty of pull in sites. We stayed in A57. I think it is probably as private as you can get. Lots of room and great access to the creek. Maybe 100 ft from the Bathroom. The camp host was great. Happy to assist. He showed us where our site was and gave advice where to park the trailer which
This place is beautiful and very clean. We had a blast and will definitely be back.
