Nice views, nice hiking trails, friendly people. Steep, windey mountain roads up to Grayson Highlands Park
While in Virginia we just checked this place out! Amazing to see the construction of older buildings! Fun time since it was so close to our site!
We really enjoy Virginia!!! 😊
Spent four days here hiking the trails. The camp site was nice size and fit my 34' camper just fine. The fire pits at campsites, need to have a concrete base. It was raining on and off while there. So the fire pit would fill with water, making the pit useless at night when not raining. Also spend $8 for firewood from campground host, which would not stay burning. Also who cleans the showers? Someone had left there items on day 2 of my stay. They where still there after day 4. There is a nice little general store. can can pick up some needed items. Would I stay here again, yes, but I'll be visiting different parks first.
Campground was easy to access in large RV, but roads up were a little scary if choosing a large vehicle :) Decent bathrooms and showers. The park has been on my list to visit, and it did not disappoint. Absolutely beautiful. My family hiked the 9 mile summit trail. We were able to see a herd of ponies with foals and a group of the long horned cattle. Although we took a picture of the trail map and that the trail is clearly marked, there are a few areas with a lot of intersections that could be confusing if you are not paying close attention. This was one of my favorite hikes.
