The Blue Ridge Parkway offers eight tranquil and scenic campgrounds to enhance your journey along America’s favorite drive. They do not offer full hook-ups, but they do come equipped with restrooms, drinking water, picnic tables and grills, and most can accommodate sizeable recreational vehicles.

Be sure to ask about Ranger talks and campfire programs that are given on weekends and occasionally during the week. Campsites also offer ready access to parts of the Parkway’s 350 miles of hiking trails for travelers who want to explore on foot, but keep in mind that campgrounds are at elevations of more than 2500 feet and dressing in layers is suggested all year.
