The resort has its own six-mile limestone cave system — discovered in 1879 and still geologically active — accessible directly from your campsite. Ninety-five sites run in 30-amp and 50-amp back-ins and pull-throughs, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables.

Above ground, an outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a disc golf course, jumping pillow, gem mining, sports courts, pickleball, volleyball, horseshoes, a game room, and a recreation center filling the grounds. Walking trails, hiking, biking, fishing in the pond, a playground, and live music round it out, and the property also serves as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. New Market sits on US-11 in the central Shenandoah Valley between Luray and Harrisonburg, which makes this one of the most comprehensive single-stop bases in the Valley.

Misty Mountain Camp Resort

92 RV Sites, 16 Cabins, 15 Tent Sites

Misty Mountain Camp Resort in Greenwood, Virginia, is a full-hookup camp resort with RV sites, tent sites and cabin rentals, an outdoor pool, a fitness center and a clubhouse, set half a mile off Interstate 64 at the eastern foot of the Blue Ridge. The property is big-rig friendly and takes coaches up to 90 feet, which makes it one of the more accommodating options in the Rockfish Gap corridor between Charlottesville and Shenandoah National Park. Full-hookup RV sites handle rigs to 90 feet, with a dump station on site for guests who need it. Tent sites suit campers who want the mountain setting without hauling a rig, and cabin rentals provide enclosed lodging for guests traveling without either. A general store covers basics, propane is available by both fill and exchange, and firewood is sold on site. Bathrooms, showers and laundry are available throughout the season, and WiFi reaches the sites. On-site recreation is unusually deep for a campground this size. An outdoor pool anchors the summer season, with a fitness center and clubhouse open year-round and a recreation center for indoor gathering. Sports courts host basketball and volleyball, and horseshoes and corn hole fill the space between. A playground serves younger guests, a fenced dog park serves the four-legged ones, and walking trails run the property past a pond and the creek that crosses the grounds. A covered pavilion hosts planned activities, live music and visiting food trucks through the summer, and the resort also operates as a wedding venue. Gem mining and gold panning round out the on-site programming. Pets are welcome. Shenandoah National Park's southern entrance at Rockfish Gap is 20 miles north, where Skyline Drive begins its 105-mile run along the Blue Ridge crest and the Blue Ridge Parkway heads south toward Cherokee. Charlottesville lies 15 miles east on I-64, putting Monticello, the University of Virginia and the Downtown Mall within a half-hour drive, and the Greenwood-area wineries sit closer still. Misty Mountain operates through Albemarle County's four-season climate. Spring wildflowers from April into May and fall foliage from mid-October into early November are the two peak windows, and both draw heavily from the Richmond, Northern Virginia and Washington markets. Book well ahead for fall color weekends and for the summer live-music calendar.

Momma Tried RV & Campground

38 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

In the forested mountains of Pocahontas County in eastern West Virginia, Momma Tried RV & Campground sits among the hardwood hollows and mountain streams of one of the wildest and most unspoiled regions in the eastern United States. Located near the small community of Cabins—itself a name that captures the essential character of the area—the campground operates year-round and provides full hookup sites, walking trails, a dog park, sports courts, and direct access to the rivers and mountains that define the Monongahela National Forest country. For outdoors-focused campers who want genuine Appalachian terrain, this is the right address. Full hookup sites with WiFi deliver modern connectivity in a mountain setting that might otherwise suggest a more spartan experience. Walking trails loop from the campground into the surrounding forested terrain, and the campground's river and stream access opens up swimming holes, fishing spots, and quiet stretches of water that can occupy entire afternoons with nothing more than wading boots and a light rod. A dog park gives canine travelers their own space, basketball and sports courts provide on-site active recreation, and a playground serves families with younger campers. The campground is open year-round, accessible for fall foliage season, winter snowshoeing, and the full spring wildflower bloom that turns the surrounding Allegheny hollows into something extraordinary. The mountains surrounding Cabins are part of the Allegheny Highlands—ancient, rounded ridges covered in mixed hardwood and spruce forest that represent some of the most significant wild country remaining in the eastern United States. Monongahela National Forest, which envelops much of Pocahontas County, provides hundreds of thousands of acres of hiking, mountain biking, trout fishing, and wildlife habitat. The Greenbrier River, one of the cleanest rivers in the Appalachians, flows through the region and offers kayaking, canoeing, and fly fishing in water that is famously clear and cold in every season. The Greenbrier River Trail—a converted rail trail running more than 70 miles through the Greenbrier Valley—is one of the premier rail-to-trail experiences in the eastern United States, with sections accessible from the campground area. Seneca Rocks, the dramatic quartzite formation rising 900 feet above the Seneca Creek valley, is one of the iconic technical climbing destinations in the Appalachian region. Spruce Knob, the highest point in West Virginia, offers day-trip access to long views across the Allegheny ridges. Waterfalls, swimming holes, and the dense quiet of old mountain forest surround the campground in every direction. Momma Tried RV & Campground is open year-round and serves outdoors-focused guests who want a functional base camp in mountain country rather than a resort. The campground suits serious hikers, kayakers, mountain bikers, and anglers especially well, and the absence of heavy resort programming is part of the appeal for guests who come to be in the mountain environment rather than watching it from poolside. Whether you're chasing trout on the Greenbrier, riding the rail trail, climbing at Seneca Rocks, or simply immersing yourself in the remarkable quiet of the West Virginia highlands, Momma Tried delivers the right setting. Book a site and get outside.

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.

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.

Ridge Rider Campground

28 RV Sites, 44 Tent Sites

Ridge Rider Campground occupies 222 acres in Little Orleans, Maryland, where the Potomac River winds out of the Western Maryland highlands and the ridge-and-valley terrain of the Appalachian Mountains frames a river valley that has changed little since the canal era of the early nineteenth century. The ridge rider campground's position in this unhurried corner of Allegany County gives it a natural seclusion that most East Coast campgrounds cannot offer—surrounded on most sides by protected public lands and bordered by one of the great historic transportation corridors of American history. The campground offers tent camping, RV sites, and cabin accommodations, with the cabins representing a particularly comfortable option—sleeping eight with full kitchens, AC and heat, WiFi, and pet-friendly policies that make them a genuine home base for extended family visits. A swimming pool, stocked fishing pond, basketball courts, playground, and well-stocked camp store cover the day-to-day recreation needs, while a pavilion handles group gatherings and the central recreation room with pool tables, pinball machines, and games provides evening entertainment when the fireflies come out along the Potomac bottom. Little Orleans sits at the western edge of Allegany County, where the landscape begins the geological transition from the valley-and-ridge terrain of central Maryland to the more dramatic river gorge country of the upper Potomac. The town itself is little more than a cluster of buildings around Bill's Place—a bar and general store that has served Potomac River travelers since 1906—but the surroundings are spectacular, and the sense of genuine rural remoteness within two to three hours of Baltimore and Washington D.C. explains why the campground draws repeat visitors who make the drive deliberately rather than discovering it by accident. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park runs immediately adjacent to the campground, offering 185 miles of towpath open to hikers, cyclists, and horseback riders along the route where mule-drawn canal boats carried coal from Cumberland to Georgetown from 1828 to 1924. The towpath here is flat, well-shaded, and follows the Potomac through some of the most beautiful river scenery in the mid-Atlantic—a genuinely rewarding multi-day cycling route with the campground as its western anchor. Green Ridge State Forest, 43,000 acres of managed woodland directly north of the campground, provides mountain biking trails, hunting, and dispersed camping on terrain that gives serious off-road cyclists an eastern destination that rivals the better-known trail systems of West Virginia. Ridge Rider Campground operates through the Maryland camping season with spring, summer, and fall all offering genuinely appealing conditions in the Potomac highlands. Fishing in the river and the stocked pond draws year-round visitors when the weather cooperates, and the canal towpath is at its most beautiful during fall foliage and spring wildflower seasons when the bottomland forest along the Potomac is at its most vivid.
