This is yet another beautiful, rustic Nat’l Park campground on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is not as pretty as some of the others, the sites are not that large so choose carefully, but we like them all better than private campgrounds. We’ve stayed here twice-once in a smaller site along the outer perimeter and this time in A1, the first as you enter and closest to the Parkway. It was open and sunny (great for charging our solar) and surprisingly quiet as there was little traffic; especially at night. We did the gentle hike to The Bluffs Restaurant through forests and meadows as well as the hike in the opposite direction to the old homestead called Brinegar cabin. We highly recommend both. We held back a star due to the condition of the bathroom. Rustic is ok but there was no lighting at all and it was not too clean. We intend to go back and highly recommend.

We love this campground. The sites are beautifully wooded and nicely spaced. The camp host and ranger are friendly and helpful and there is live music on Saturday eve performed by talented local musicians. You can also access a hiking trail by simply walking across the Parkway. Minus one star because the bathrooms are seriously lacking. FYI-no showers but that’s not a surprise in a rustic campground. Beware that some sites in the rv section are pretty small. We recommend walking the loop to decide. Floyd, VA is a short drive and a great stop on the Music Heritage Trail. We will definitely go back.
