Fishing

Smith Mountain Campground

20 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

On Liberty Road in Penhook, Virginia—in the rolling Blue Ridge foothills of Franklin County less than five miles from the nearest public boat launch on Smith Mountain Lake—Smith Mountain Campground operates as a family-owned RV facility with full hookup sites, a stocked fishing pond, private hiking trail, and the quiet country character that the lake region's residential neighborhoods have preserved across the decades since Appalachian Power dammed the Roanoke River to create what has become Virginia's second-largest lake and the surrounding community's defining natural asset. The campground's private pond, four-unit bathhouse with individual tiled rooms, and boat parking give guests who came to fish and be near the water the specific combination of amenities that lake-country camping specifically demands. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections, picnic tables, and fire rings serve both back-in and pull-through configurations across the property's site inventory, and complimentary high-speed WiFi keeps connected guests online through the site footprint. A four-unit private bathhouse with individually tiled rooms—each containing a shower, sink, toilet, and electrical outlet—provides a level of bathroom privacy that the typical campground shower-house arrangement doesn't supply. A dedicated laundry facility handles the practical needs of extended stays. Dedicated boat parking accommodates the trailered watercraft that lake-bound guests consistently arrive with, and a pavilion available for private reservation serves the group gathering needs of family reunions and organized camping events. A playground and outdoor recreation area serve families with younger campers and children in tow. The private hiking trail and stocked fishing pond are the property's most distinctive natural amenities—giving guests who want to fish without launching a boat an on-property option that the lake's five-mile distance doesn't otherwise provide. Smith Mountain Lake's character—a 20,600-acre reservoir on the Roanoke and Blackwater Rivers at the base of the Blue Ridge, with 500 miles of wooded shoreline and an elevation of 795 feet—provides the fishing and boating programming that organizes the Franklin County camping calendar from spring through fall. Striped bass, largemouth bass, crappie, and bluegill populate the lake in numbers and quality that have established Smith Mountain Lake among Virginia's premier fishing destinations, and the shoreline's development as a residential and resort community has produced a marina and restaurant infrastructure that gives boating guests on-water dining access that few Virginia lakes match. Smith Mountain Lake State Park, on the Halesford Arm of the lake's western reach, provides the hiking, swimming beach, boat rental, and educational programming that bring non-boating visitors specifically to the state park when a day on the water doesn't require owning a vessel. The park's mountain bike trails and the lake's kayaking and paddleboarding resources extend the recreational programming beyond powerboating into the quieter water-access categories. Roanoke—Virginia's largest city in the western part of the state, with the Taubman Museum of Art, the Virginia Museum of Transportation, and the Blue Ridge Parkway access via the Roanoke Valley—is accessible for the urban cultural programming that a lakeside camping base supplements naturally. Smith Mountain Campground is open seasonally through the Virginia camping calendar, with the prime season running from April through October when Smith Mountain Lake's fishing, boating, and outdoor recreation are at their most active. Fall foliage on the Blue Ridge foothills surrounding the lake creates one of the most visually rewarding shoulder-season camping opportunities in western Virginia. Reserve your site with boat parking early for the spring bass season and let the Franklin County lake country earn the reputation that Virginia's recreational community has assigned to it for decades.

Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing

11 RV Sites

Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing in New Castle, Virginia, offers 11 dry-camping RV sites and cabin accommodations on an adventure property in Craig County, with a high ropes course, disc golf, kayak and bike rentals, and a hot tub. Sites take rigs to 45 feet with fire pits and picnic tables. One thing to know upfront: the campground spots are dry camping with no hookups. Eleven pull-through RV sites operate without hookups, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Portable toilets serve the sites, and a bathhouse provides flushing toilets and hot showers. Cabins offer enclosed lodging for guests who would rather not camp. A general store covers basics and firewood is available. From May through November, the Outpost opens Friday evenings through Sunday morning for food and drinks, including beer and wine. Adventure programming is what sets this property apart. A high ropes and adventure course provides aerial challenge elements almost never found at a campground, and a disc golf course, bike rentals, and kayak rentals fill the rest of the day. Trails, a pond, and a creek run the property for swimming, fishing, canoeing, and mountain biking. Volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, and a pavilion round out the on-site recreation, with planned activities through the season and strong birding in the surrounding forest. Pets are welcome. New Castle sits in Craig County, Virginia's least-populated county, in the ridge-and-valley country of the Jefferson National Forest. Craig Creek's cold, clear water runs nearby, and the surrounding Allegheny highlands carry extensive trail access. The property serves both family recreation guests and corporate and group retreats. The May-to-November window is when food service runs and the adventure programming is at full strength — plan dry camping supplies accordingly, and book group dates well ahead.

BluFin Bungalows & Marina

Chincoteague Island, Virginia, sits at the narrow end of a causeway connecting the Eastern Shore to the barrier islands of Assateague, where one of the Atlantic Coast's most distinctive wildlife spectacles plays out each summer. BluFin Bungalows & Marina positions guests at the water's edge in Chincoteague's working waterfront district, combining conventional bungalow accommodations with the property's most unusual offering: the Bungalow Boats, floating accommodations moored at the marina that put guests literally on the water. For anyone who has ever wanted to sleep rocking gently in a coastal tidal channel surrounded by marsh and open sky, BluFin delivers that experience. The property offers both land-based bungalows and the floating Bungalow Boats, which are self-contained units moored at the marina dock — a genuine novelty that makes this one of the few places on the Virginia coast where a night on the water doesn't require boat ownership. The marina provides access to Chincoteague Channel and the tidal waters surrounding the island, with crabbing and fishing immediately accessible from the dock. Soft-shell and blue crab are the local specialty, and the channel produces flounder, rockfish, and red drum for those fishing from the pier or launching kayaks from the property. Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge covers the southern portion of Assateague Island across the bridge from town, protecting one of the East Coast's finest shorebird habitats and the internationally famous Chincoteague ponies — a herd of feral horses that has inhabited the island for centuries, believed by some to be descended from survivors of a Spanish shipwreck. Guests staying at BluFin are within easy reach of the refuge's beach, dunes, and pine maritime forest, along with Assateague Lighthouse, whose distinctive red spiral stripes make it one of the most photographed structures on the Delmarva Peninsula. The Chincoteague Pony Swim, held annually on the last Wednesday and Thursday of July, has drawn crowds to the island since the 1920s. On the appointed morning, the pony herd is rounded up by volunteer Saltwater Cowboys and swum across the Assateague Channel to Chincoteague, where foals are auctioned to benefit the local fire company before the adults swim back. The event fills every available accommodation on the island and surrounding area weeks in advance, and watching the ponies emerge from the channel is one of the genuinely memorable wildlife moments available anywhere on the East Coast. Kayak tours of the refuge's back channels offer intimate wildlife viewing year-round. Summer is high season on Chincoteague, with the Pony Swim in late July representing the island's absolute peak demand period — plan reservations months in advance if that event is the draw. Spring and fall bring migratory waterfowl and shorebirds to the refuge in enormous numbers, making shoulder-season visits especially rewarding for birders; the crowds thin dramatically after Labor Day. Winter is quiet and uncrowded, with the ponies visible on the beach and excellent birding without competition for viewing spots. The island's restaurants, galleries, and gift shops cater to visitors year-round, though some seasonal businesses close November through March.

A splash pad and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with a boat ramp, fishing pier, and beach opening the river for boating, paddle boats, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing.

Timberline Glamping at Williamsburg

5 Glamping Sites

Timberline Glamping at Williamsburg delivers a premium glamping near Williamsburg VA experience inside Chickahominy Riverfront Park — a 140-acre James City County park on the banks of the Chickahominy River, just minutes from the most historically significant triangle of landscape in the country. For travelers who want a uniquely comfortable outdoor stay alongside Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown without sacrificing modern amenities, Timberline Glamping provides the ideal answer. Fully furnished Safari Tents accommodate families and groups in genuine style, configured as two double beds or a king with two sets of bunk beds. Each tent comes with a mini fridge, coffee maker, air conditioning and heating, and a ceiling fan — amenities that make the word "camping" something of an understatement. A hammock, wood fire ring with cooking grate, picnic table, and two outdoor chairs complete the tent's outdoor living space. Bathhouses with modern restrooms and showers are a short walk away, and two outdoor swimming pools provide a social gathering space for guests of every age. A small store, boat ramp, fishing pier, and direct access to the Virginia Capital Trail for cycling and walking round out the on-site amenities. Pets are welcome. The Chickahominy River frontage sets the glamping property's natural character — a tidal river winding through coastal Virginia lowland forest with the estuarine beauty that defines this corner of the state. Kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and stand-up paddleboarding on the river provide water recreation from the park's own shoreline, and the Capital Trail's miles of scenic bikeway begin directly at the property. Colonial Williamsburg, a short drive away, is the most complete living history site in America — costumed interpreters, preserved 18th-century buildings, and immersive colonial trade demonstrations that fill a full day without repetition. Jamestown Settlement, where Powhatan's Confederacy met the English colony that started everything, and Yorktown Battlefield, site of the final decisive engagement of the American Revolution, complete the Historic Triangle that makes this corner of Virginia genuinely irreplaceable for any American traveler. Busch Gardens Williamsburg adds roller coasters, live shows, and theme park scale for families who want to balance history with thrills. Timberline Glamping at Williamsburg is open seasonally, with the warm-weather months delivering the full combination of river recreation and regional historical access. The blend of comfortable furnished lodging, Chickahominy riverfront setting, and proximity to three of America's most significant historical sites makes this one of the most purposefully positioned glamping destinations on the entire East Coast.

Montebello Camping & Fishing Resort

38 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 17 Tent Sites, 2 Cottages

High in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Nelson County, Virginia—less than three miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway where the Virginia highlands' apple orchards, vineyards, and the watershed of the Tye and Piney rivers create the elevated rural landscape that Nelson County's outdoor and agricultural community has built its identity around—Montebello Camping and Fishing Resort offers authentic log cabin and cottage rentals available year-round, full-service RV and tent camping from April through October, a 5-acre private lake with complimentary kayaks and paddleboats, a fee-based trout pond requiring no fishing license, and the historic country store that has occupied its Blue Ridge Mountain post since 1894, providing a camping and fishing experience in the Virginia highlands whose combination of mountain setting, free-use lake, and license-free trout pond makes it the most complete fishing resort on the Nelson County side of the Blue Ridge. The trout pond needs no license. The country store has been open since 1894. Log cabins and cottages available year-round provide the enclosed accommodation for the Blue Ridge winter visitor whose mountain hiking and wine country touring calendar runs twelve months, while the full-service RV and tent sites with electric hookups, restrooms, showers, dump station, and laundry provide the spring-through-fall camping infrastructure from April through October. The 5-acre private lake's complimentary kayaks and paddleboats eliminate the boat rental transaction and create the self-directed water recreation that the lake's fishing, the leisurely paddle around the mountain-reflected perimeter, and the wildlife watching from the water deliver without additional daily charges. The fee-based trout pond—no fishing license required—provides the accessible, managed angling experience that non-licensed guests and the family with young anglers learning the sport use specifically to avoid the license paperwork. Montebello sits in Nelson County at the Blue Ridge's eastern escarpment, in the watershed between the mountains and the Shenandoah Valley's Rockfish River corridor where the Appalachian Trail, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Skyline Drive converge in the concentration of Virginia's most significant long-distance trails and scenic routes. Crabtree Falls, 5 miles north on VA-56, cascades 1,000 feet in a series of five distinct drops that makes it the highest waterfall east of the Mississippi in the Virginia Blue Ridge—the 1.7-mile trail to the falls' upper viewpoint through the hemlock and hardwood forest is one of the most rewarding short hikes in the Virginia highlands. Wintergreen Resort, 15 miles north via VA-56 and Wintergreen Drive, operates Virginia's most complete four-season mountain resort with skiing and snowboarding from December through March and the Devils Knob Golf Course, spa, hiking, and mountain biking from spring through fall on the Blue Ridge plateau at 3,500 to 4,000 feet elevation. The Nelson County wine trail—the concentration of boutique wineries along US-151 south of the resort in the Rockfish Valley—provides the wine tasting alternative that the valley's elevation and the well-drained clay soils have made increasingly productive for Virginia viticulture. Montebello Camping and Fishing Resort's cabin and cottage accommodations operate year-round in Nelson County's Blue Ridge climate, with the apple harvest season from September through October, the fall foliage peak in late October, and the spring wildflower season from April through May providing the three most visually distinctive periods in the mountain calendar. The RV and tent camping season from April through October corresponds with the Blue Ridge Parkway's most comfortable driving and cycling conditions. Reserve your cabin, cottage, or RV site at Montebello and let the fee-based trout pond, the 5-acre lake's complimentary kayaks, the Blue Ridge Parkway's proximity, and the 1894 country store make the Virginia highlands the mountain escape the Nelson County Blue Ridge has always provided.

River's Rest Marina & Resort

21 Condos

On 16.5 acres at 9100 Wilcox Neck Road in Charles City, Virginia—where the Chickahominy River winds through the tidal woodland between Richmond and Williamsburg in one of Virginia's most historically layered counties—River's Rest Marina & Resort opened in 2022 as a water-focused destination combining 126 seasonal RV and tiny home sites, a 68-boat-slip marina with full services, a swimming pool, the Blue Heron Restaurant, and the complete waterfront resort experience on a river that flows through the heart of Virginia's Colonial and Civil War landscape. For travelers who want to be on the water in the historic heart of the Virginia Tidewater, River's Rest delivers both the marina infrastructure and the natural beauty that the Chickahominy provides. RV and tiny home sites at River's Rest are offered on a seasonal basis, creating a stable community of waterfront regulars who take full advantage of the marina's boat launch, fuel dock, 60 electric and water slips, and the bait and tackle store that serves both residents and visiting anglers targeting the Chickahominy's bass, crappie, perch, and the striped bass that run upriver from the James during spring spawning season. A swimming pool, laundry, dog park, playground, and the outdoor patio and bar extend the resort's social infrastructure, and the Blue Heron Restaurant provides on-property dining so guests don't need to drive for a good meal on the river. A bar and the dining service create the evening destination that makes River's Rest a social venue as much as a campground. Charles City County occupies the narrow neck of land between the James River to the south and the Chickahominy to the north, in the landscape that was the geographic center of English colonial settlement in North America—a county where the James River plantations along historic Route 5 represent the most intact collection of colonial-era plantation architecture in the United States. The Chickahominy River itself drains a watershed that was actively contested in the Civil War's Peninsula Campaign of 1862, when McClellan's Army of the Potomac maneuvered through this exact landscape in the campaign that brought Union forces closest to Richmond during the war's eastern theater. Colonial Williamsburg, the largest living history museum in the United States, is approximately 35 miles east—a full day's immersion in the reconstructed capital of colonial Virginia with costumed interpreters, period trades demonstrations, the Governor's Palace, and the Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area's remarkable concentration of 18th-century structures. The James River plantation corridor along Route 5—Shirley Plantation (the oldest plantation in continuous operation in the US), Berkeley Plantation (birthplace of President William Henry Harrison), and Westover Plantation—sits within minutes of the resort and represents one of the finest colonial architecture drives in America. Richmond, 30 minutes northwest, adds the American Civil War Museum and Monument Avenue's historical complexity. River's Rest operates seasonally, with the spring striped bass run and the summer boating and swimming season at maximum activity. The marina's deep water and full services attract powerboaters and fishing enthusiasts from throughout the Richmond metropolitan area, and the Blue Heron Restaurant draws non-overnight guests for waterside dining on the Chickahominy. Seasonal site availability means advance commitment is required for the established RV and tiny home community, but the marina's transient slips serve visiting boaters throughout the operating season. Reserve your spot at River's Rest and let the Chickahominy's tidal beauty and Virginia's remarkable history be the backdrop for your waterfront stay.
