Stony Fork is located in a natural forest setting at the foot of Big Walker Mountain and adjacent to the Big Walker Scenic Byway. A short drive from I-77 and I-81, the campground is popular with RVers and tent campers. The East Fork of Stony Fork Creek winds through the campground and provides water play and trout fishing. A one mile nature trail will take campers through stands of pine and hardwoods, while the campground loop road itself is popular with walkers. For the more experienced hiker, Seven Sisters Trail leads from the campground to the top of Little Walker Mountain and back to the Scenic Byway.
Volunteer hosts are on hand to answer questions and make campers feel welcome. Campsites are ideal for both RV and tent camping. Warm showers and flush toilets are available, plus parking aprons are paved. Most sites come with electric hookups.
From Wytheville, VA, follow I-77 north to Exit 47. Turn left onto Route 717 and drive 4 miles to Stony Fork Campground. Total travel distance is 10 miles.
$20 per site per night. $6 for electric hookup only. $10 for electric and water hookup.
A great camp ground! Very woodsey, and private site feeling.
Great 1 mile loop hike right at the campground. Great hosts, Roger and Jim and his wife. It's dated, rustic but so nice. I'll stay again no problem
So this one is cash or check only. Not available for advanced reservation through the app apparently. But definitely worth the 5 minute detour off the highway. Nice and clean tucked away. There is a little bit of road noise from the only road that can get you there and back. The volunteer host was very friendly and welcoming and helpful
Great spot off of 77. Beautiful scenery and well kept campground. The bathhouses are nice. It was unseasonably cold when I stayed got in the 20s hot showers were nice.
This is a good campground with service for RVs, and in my case for van camping. Of course tent camping is welcome too! Bathrooms are clean and the showers are hot. Strong cellular service is present. Be sure to hike the Stony Fork nature trail. It's 1 mi and passes through a white pine forest planted in 1959 and the trail passes through rhododendrons. Very nice hike and peaceful place to stay.
Came for 1 night, came back for a week+. Great Campground with flush toilets and hot showers (4 bathhouses), located just inside Jefferson National Forest. $20 for a no service site, and they have 1 service for $26, 2 services for $30. The site had a large picnic table and a fire ring with a grill. Driveways are paved into the sites, and it's easy to walk around the loop, also has a small stream running through the grounds. Came in late October when the leaves were peaking, absolutely beautiful. There is even a path through the forest, 1 mile, leading out from the campground. There are deer, raccoons, plenty of types of birds, squirrels, rabbits, and best of all.... no bears. They've only had 1 bear in 3 years. The hosts are super friendly and do a fantastic job keeping everything clean and running smoothly. My car battery died and they even helped me Jumpstart it. Kim and Joe are fantastic! Will definitely be back if I am in the area next year.
