Campsite: Bly Gap - Dispersed Camping
Roomy tree-covered area that allows for many tents in various locations. One area is almost like a central location with several smaller spot to fit tents and hammocks for those who want more privacy from others.
Solid water source, but you will have to work a little more if you have a squeeze-filter instead of a pump because there are no convenient deep areas in the stream except for one we found, which I actually had to dig deep to speed up the time it took to fill my pouch.
Campsite: Rock Castle Gorge Backcountry Campground — Blue Ridge Parkway
I recommend anyone doing the loop to go in from the East Trailhead. You will save yourself about 2-3 miles of additional hiking. The fire road is about 1.75 miles from the parking area to the loop intersection. There are two creek crossings without bridge crossings you will find elsewhere on the trail. When it rains, there is very little way to cross without walking calf-deep through water. If you're going this way, bring a towel and be prepared to remove your shoes and socks twice, or enjoy walking with squishy, water-logged boots.
