Wood Mountain Campground

6 RV Sites, 16 Tent Sites, 4 Glamping Sites

Wood Mountain Campground in Glen Jean, West Virginia, offers six full-hookup RV sites, 16 tent sites, and four glamping sites on a hilltop directly off Highway 19, at the heart of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Sites carry 30 and 50-amp with water and sewer, sized to 35 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Six sites run in standard and premium full-hookup configurations carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 35 feet — note the 35-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Sixteen tent sites and four glamping sites round out the accommodations, alongside two-bedroom cabins with fully equipped kitchens and large covered porches. Restrooms, showers, and site WiFi handle the practical side. The hilltop position gives views across the surrounding forested ridgelines, and a disc golf course, barn, pavilion, corn hole, and picnicking areas fill the grounds. The operators put it plainly: this is West Virginia, where there are more trees than people, and guests who want to keep to themselves are as welcome as those who want to chat. Pets are welcome. Glen Jean sits directly across from both the Summit Bechtel Reserve — one of the largest scouting and outdoor education facilities in the world — and the national park's administrative hub, which puts this about as close to the action as any private property in the gorge. River outfitters and the town of Fayetteville are a short drive, and a creek and mountain terrain surround the property. Summer whitewater season and October foliage drive demand in the gorge. With six RV sites, reserve as early as you can.

Camp Holly

8 RV Sites

Camp Holly in Diana, West Virginia, offers eight full-hookup RV sites across a 22-acre mountain property in Webster County, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 36 feet. Cabins, glamping structures, and tent camping join a pond, playground, and general store in the state's most rugged interior. Eight back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 36 feet, with site WiFi. Note the 36-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Cabins, glamping structures, and tent camping round out the accommodations. A general store, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Two useful tips from the operators: buy fishing passes when you book your campsite for a discounted rate, and add a jumbo firewood square at booking and they will deliver it to your site. Pets are welcome. A pond anchors the on-site recreation with fishing, swimming, paddle boats, boating, canoeing, and kayaking from the water. A community fire pit, playground, hiking, and biking fill the rest, with planned activities through the season. Diana sits on WV-20 in the heartland of the Mountain State's most remote interior. The Cranberry Wilderness, the Gauley River National Recreation Area, and the Williams River's wild brook trout stream give this the most complete wilderness and outdoor adventure access of any campground in central West Virginia's Chestnut Ridge and Back Allegheny country. Summer water recreation and October foliage drive demand. With eight RV sites, reserve well ahead.

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.

Lake Ridge RV Resort

84 RV Sites, 20 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites

Lake Ridge RV Resort in Hillsville, Virginia, offers 84 RV sites, 20 cabins, and seven tent sites on a lake in Carroll County's Blue Ridge Mountains, with 30 and 50-amp full-hookup service and rigs accepted to 65 feet. An outdoor pool with water slides, a clubhouse, and a full activity calendar make this a family resort rather than an overnight stop. Sites run from back-in and deluxe back-in with 30-amp water and electric to VIP back-in and pull-through options and super pull-throughs with 50-amp, all sized for rigs to 65 feet. Twenty cabins serve guests traveling without a rig, and seven tent sites cover simpler camping. A general store, snack bar, laundry, propane fills and exchange, and a dump station handle the practical side, and WiFi reaches the property. On-site recreation is extensive. An outdoor pool with water slides anchors the summer, with a lake on the property for fishing, boating, paddle boats, and paddle boarding. Sports courts, basketball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, and gaga ball spread across the grounds, with an arcade and clubhouse indoors and a playground, pavilion, dog park, and walking trails besides. Golf cart rentals make the resort easy to cross, and planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. Hillsville sits near the Blue Ridge Parkway close to the Virginia–North Carolina line. Galax and its Old Fiddlers' Convention, the New River Trail State Park, and Grayson Highlands State Park are all close. Roanoke and Winston-Salem are each about 75 minutes; Virginia Tech is 52 miles. The resort runs the Blue Ridge season, with summer families and October foliage driving peak demand. Reserve ahead for both, and check pool and slide operating dates when booking shoulder-season stays.

Jellystone Park™ Natural Bridge

126 RV Sites, 22 Cabins, 23 Tent Sites, 9 Lodges

Jellystone Park at Natural Bridge in Natural Bridge Station, Virginia, offers 126 RV sites, 31 cabin and lodge units, and 23 tent sites in the Shenandoah Valley foothills, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet.

Thirty-one cabins and lodges and 23 tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A daily resort fee applies and covers cable and WiFi, aquatic facility access including the resort pool, waterslides, splash pad, and swim lake, the dog park, the movie theater, and 24-hour on-site management. Recreation is the product. A water park with waterslides, splash pad, swim lake, beach, and outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, a jumping pillow, gaga ball, arcade, game room, and recreation center besides. Sports courts, basketball, a playground, pavilion, barn, golf cart rentals, and a pond for fishing fill the grounds. Pets are welcome. Natural Bridge State Park — one of Virginia's most striking natural landmarks — is close, with the upper Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge corridor beyond. Summer families and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

from $34/night

Revelle's River Resort

51 RV Sites, 13 Cabins, 1 Yurt

Revelle's River Resort in Bowden, West Virginia, offers 51 full-hookup RV sites, four cabins, and a yurt along two miles of Shavers Fork river frontage in the Monongahela National Forest, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Riverfront back-in categories at 30-amp and full service join standard and dry back-in tiers, with a splash pad, hot tub, and on-site saloon. Fifty-one back-in sites span standard, dry, riverfront 30-amp, and riverfront categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and picnic tables, sized to 45 feet. The riverfront categories are the reason to book here, and the dry tier gives self-contained rigs a lower rate. Four cabins, including heated units, and a yurt round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A splash pad and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a recreation center, clubhouse, pavilion, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, a playground, dog park, and on-site dining filling the grounds. The saloon hosts live weekend music, and the river carries fishing, swimming, hiking, and biking. Skiing and snowboarding are nearby, and the resort operates as a wedding venue. Revelle's sits nine miles east of Elkins, just off Route 33 on Faulkner Road at Bowden — the physical address is 5 Faulkner Road. Summer, fall color, and ski season all draw. Reserve well ahead for October and holiday weekends.

Halesford Harbour Resort

1 Cabin, 25 Condos

Halesford Harbour Resort in Moneta, Virginia, offers RV camping alongside 26 cabin and condo units across 41 acres of Smith Mountain Lake shoreline, open all year. A full marina with boat rentals, boat ramp, boat docks, and boat storage joins an outdoor pool, beach, sports courts, and walking trails. RV sites carry full hookups. Contact the resort to confirm amp service, length limits, and current site availability for your rig — the published site records are incomplete, and the property is primarily a cabin and marina operation with RV camping alongside. Twenty-six cabins and condos make up the bulk of the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The marina anchors everything, with boat rentals, a boat ramp, boat docks, and boat storage opening the lake for boating, swimming, and inflatable water toys. An outdoor pool, beach, playground, pavilion, sports courts, basketball, dog park, and walking trails fill the rest, with planned activities through the season and wine and beer tasting nearby. Forty-one acres of shoreline is a substantial holding on this lake. Smith Mountain Lake covers 20,600 acres with 500 miles of shoreline, created in 1966 when Appalachian Power dammed the Roanoke River — and it became one of the most beloved recreational lakes in the South almost by accident. Smith Mountain Lake State Park is close, the Crooked Road music trail runs through the region, and Roanoke sits about 45 minutes northwest. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand and fills the corridor. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day, with far easier availability in the spring and fall.

from $99/night

Montebello Camping & Fishing Resort

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

Montebello Camping & Fishing Resort in Montebello, VA, offers 38 full-hookup RV sites, 7 cabin and cottage rentals, and 17 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites are labeled by exactly what they deliver: 30-amp water and electric, 30-amp water/electric/sewer, and 30/50-amp water/electric/sewer. Each comes with a fire pit and picnic table, in back-in and pull-thru configurations. Laundry, a general store, firewood, a dump station, and a pavilion handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. Cell service in this part of the Blue Ridge is limited, which is worth planning around rather than being surprised by. Fishing is the anchor — the resort has both a lake and a pond stocked for it — with kayaking, swimming, biking, picnicking, and birding filling out the days. Wine tasting is nearby. Montebello sits high in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Nelson County, less than three miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway, with adjacent trails climbing well above the campground. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Fall foliage weekends on the Parkway book far in advance.

from $29/night

Smith Mountain Campground

19 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

Smith Mountain Campground in Penhook, VA, offers 20 full-hookup RV sites and 2 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites come in three categories — back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 30/50-amp, and pull-thru 30/50-amp — with full-hookup sites carrying water, sewer, and electric plus a fire pit and picnic table.

Washington Monument, The Homeplace Vineyard, and The Coves Amphitheater all close. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Twenty sites near Smith Mountain Lake fill quickly in summer, so reserve ahead.

from $35/night

Sun Retreats Shenandoah Valley

52 RV Sites, 10 Cottages, 4 Lodges

Sun Retreats Shenandoah Valley in Stuarts Draft, Virginia, offers 52 RV sites and 14 cottage and lodge units across more than 130 wooded acres, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 76 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories join a pull-through tier, with an outdoor pool, mini-golf, jumping pillow, and a spring-fed lake. Fifty-two sites span back-in 30/50-amp, back-in water-and-electric 30/50-amp, and pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 76 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Seventy-six feet is generous for a wooded valley property. Fourteen cottages and lodges round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The property was long established as Shenandoah Acres Family Campground. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a lake and pond supporting swimming and fishing. Mini-golf, a jumping pillow, arcade, game room, barn, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, corn hole, a playground, pavilion, dog park, on-site dining, and a snack bar fill the rest, with planned activities and wine tasting nearby. Stuarts Draft sits in Augusta County between Waynesboro and Staunton, minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Skyline Drive, and the Shenandoah Valley's orchards and wineries. Fall foliage and summer drive demand. Reserve well ahead for October.

from $51/night

Roaring River Vineyards

7 RV Sites

Roaring River Vineyards in Traphill, NC, offers 7 RV sites behind a working winery, with 30 and 50-amp service. Sites sit in a tree grove near the pond, numbered one through ten, with the Roaring River close by. Power is 30 or 50-amp; water is communal rather than at the site, and there's a dump station rather than sewer hookups, so plan your stay accordingly. Access can be tight for larger rigs — worth calling ahead if you're at the upper end of the length range. What makes this one unusual is what's attached to it. The Tasting Haus pours the estate's wines alongside German-style beers and serves European fare, and it's a short walk from the sites rather than a drive. Planned events run through the season. Stone Mountain State Park is nearby for hiking, and the property has its own walking trails and a pond. WiFi and cell service both reach the sites. The entrance is gated, and pets are welcome. This is a small, quiet place — a weekend or overnight stop rather than a resort with a pool and an activities director. Vacation rentals are also available on the property if you're travelling with people who aren't in the rig.

from $25/night

Sparkman Lake

3 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Sparkman Lake in Woodsfield, Ohio, offers three full-hookup back-in RV sites and five cabins across more than 40 wooded acres, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. A single back-in category means every guest gets the same spec, with a private lake, walking trails, playground, and dog park. Three back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits. One consistent category covering all three amperages means any rig plugs in without an adapter, and 60 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Five cabins round out the lodging. Showers and firewood handle the practical side. A private lake anchors the property for boating, paddle boats, and fishing, with walking trails, hiking, basketball, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. Planned activities run through the season, and the property operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. Forty wooded acres and a private lake for three RV sites is an extraordinary ratio — guests essentially have the property to themselves, and the quiet is the product. Directions: the campground sits between Malaga and Miltonsburg directly off SR-145, 1.7 miles south of the SR-800 intersection in Malaga, and about ten minutes from Woodsfield. Monroe County is one of the quieter corners of southeastern Ohio's Appalachian foothills — forested ridges, old farm hollows, and unhurried rural character. Guests from Columbus, Pittsburgh, and Wheeling come for exactly that, with the Ohio River, Wayne National Forest, and Seneca Lake all within reach. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead — three sites go quickly.
