We stayed here twice on a recent trip to Florida. Very friendly staff leads you to your site. Tight turns and steep hills within the campground but my 37' motorhome handled them easily. My site (no. 25) was a little uneven but levelers could compensate. Great cable and Wi-Fi. Water pressure was very high but no trouble. Fire ring was close to the RV but it rained both times we stayed so we never had the chance to use it. Utilities well located. Trash cans located near each site. Shower rooms were very clean. Public roads leading to the CG are narrow and winding but little traveled allowing you full use of the road. Would stay here again without question. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It's hard to say negative things about this park, because the staff is so helpfull and friendly. However, big riggers should be aware that this is, in spite of KOA's claim, NOT big rig friendly. The exit transition is so steep that you clearly risk bottoming out or hitting your 5th wheel on your truck sides. Negotiating the campground turns to the pull through sites is very tight. None of the pull throughs we saw were level. Aside from those negatives, this is a nice woodsy quiet campground. It is simply not big rig friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Much nicer than usual KOA. Spacious sites, some nicely made on hillsides, good pull-throughs, nice overall arrangement with thoughtful details. Great area for touring Blue Ridge Parkway. Call ahead for directions. Very friendly management. None of the usual KOA junk (rental toys, etc.) laying around or in evidence. Sites much better than usual KOA style. Not an "all kids, all the time" type KOA. Garbage can at almost every site. Will return happily. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here with 4 other families and their camping rigs. We had sites 23-27. These were the 50 amp pull thru sites. I had found this campground on the internet as we were looking for a campground near the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. This was the perfect place to camp. We stayed four nights and we had a great time. The campground host's, the Manning's, made our stay very nice and pleasant. They are working hard to make it a family campground with lots of things to do with kids or without. I would stay here again, and plan too. If you want a place to stay that wants your business this is the place. The owners are working hard to make your stay pleasant. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Follow the map and directions given by KOA or you could easily miss the entrance to this pleasant campsite. We were given a shaded site on a concrete pad, full hookup. Neighbors fairly close but never a problem. Nice clubhouse, spotless bathrooms, well-stocked store. We wouldn't hesitate to return if we were traveling up or down I-77. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Great park for staying and seeing the sites. Close to "Mayberry" and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Trees are kept trimmed, roadways smoothed, lots a little uneven, but owner is trying to fix that. New owners are committed to making this park the best in VA. We have stayed here 3 times and plan to come back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed two nights at park. Somewhat hard to find. Clean park! CG is set up on 3 elevations turning in upper two can be tight, clearance to my TV bed did give me concern! Was taken to my site and owner helped with back-in. Friday night CG showed a movie, and Sat. had ice cream for guest. Would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A very nicely maintained park. The new owners were only there a week when we stayed and they could not have been more helpful. They included the entire campground in a family birthday celebration and made everyone feel right at home. We would surely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very tight turn getting into the campground with our 40' rig and tow. Very steep exit road. I went out the in since no one was coming in. Had a lot of wind when we arrived caused trees to block the satellite signal. Okay when wind died down. I would rate it good for overnight but not for a destination. Narrow road from interstate and narrow drive not great for big rigs but doable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good place for overnight or several days. The new owners are young, hard-working, and friendly. They are trying to make the facility more family oriented to serve as a destination. This place is immediately off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Watch the signs carefully or you'll get a tour of Fancy Gap. Also, read the "Rates" section of the web site carefully, especially if you have a large party or need 50 amp service. The bathrooms are very clean and reflect the owners' commitment to excellence. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We've camped here several times in the last year and have been completely won over. The sites were wide and most were pull through. Bathrooms were some of the cleanest we have seen. I hate to see people rate a campground from years ago as so much has changed here in the last year or so. The only way to find out for sure is to come by yourself and see all the great changes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My family camped here on October 24, 2006 which was the campgrounds Fall Fun weekend. The new owners are great and have remodeled the bathhouse and the roads are grate and in good shape. Our unit with 3 slides would have easily fit in most all of the sites. The previous post is old and should not be considered as reliable. These old posts should not be allowed as this is just incorrect information. We will be back many times this coming year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

One of the nicest of dozens of camp grounds we have stayed in. Immaculately clean and well kept. Campground is terraced, giving you a feeling of being in the forest. New owners (since last year) are great to deal with and talk to. Sites are graveled with grass. All have fire rings and picnic tables, parking sites are fairly level. Lots of space to walk the dog. Easy entry and exit. It's hard to understand the poster that rated this CG a (1). They apparently don't read this web site much. They either have no idea of the change in ownership last year or have some kind of an axe to grind. That type of post is counter productive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park was clean and well managed. The sites are all on different levels so you never have anyone in front or behind you. All in all a beautiful park. However the real reason this park is so special is the staff/owners. Even though the park was full when we arrived they still stopped by and took the time to chat with us and made sure that we were taken care of. We will deffinitly be coming back to this park soon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is a gem off the Blue Ridge Parkway. We found the park clean, manicured and well managed. New owners have done so much to make this a great place to stay. The WiFi makes it perfect to stay a few extra days. We will definitely be back in the fall to see the leaves. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great mountain setting. Well maintained campground with great owners. Bathhouse was clean and water pressure was good in the showers. Large camp sites with fire pits and picnic tables( could use some new picnic tables as ours was a bit wobbly from age). A great place to get away and relax with cool mountain breezes. We will br returning in the fall to enjoy the fall foliage along the BRP. If there was a pool I would rate this campground a 10. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great place to spend a week or few relaxing. Sites are unusually wide and well laid-out. Sites are teared and either shaded or mostly sunny, back-ins or pull-thrus are available. The new management has put in a lot of work fixing up the campground, trimming the branches and fixing the roads. Restrooms very clean. Site trash pick-up every couple of days. Plenty of room to walk the dog and for exercise. Managers very friendly and obliging. They even walk the park a couple of times each day to check and see if everything is OK. We'll definitely be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped at Fox Trail this past Easter weekend and found the campground most enjoyable. The campground now has new owners who are friendly, outgoing and very enjoyable. The new owners have made huge improvements to the campground and are working hard to make it the #1 camping facility in the area. If your looking for a quiet place to relax and unwind, you will find it at Fox Trail campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We actually stayed in the rental unit. It was a park model RV, permanently set up in the park with a large screened in porch and additional bedroom. Our stay was very enjoyable. There is catch and release fishing in the pond. We caught 2 large catfish and many largemouth bass. The sites are tiered, shaded with many large trees. The bathrooms were very clean, showers included. The owners were very friendly and made you feel welcome. There was an on site laundry, game room, and playground for the children. We will be staying at this campground in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is now under new management and they are wonderful people. They have been doing alot of work on the campground since they became the owners. We don't live that far from this campground and it is a great place for us to get away for the weekend. If you are going to be in the area of Fancy Gap Virginia you should give them a try.

Good park for a overnight stop or a couple of days while touring the area, however it is a old campground and the sites are very tight with lots of trees to consider when parking and setting up. Under new management and the young couple that own it now are working hard to improve the campground, and they are very nice and friendly easy to deal with. Do not plan on using a dish at this campground due to the many nice and mostly old trees. Very shady campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is under new management as of Sept. 2005. Things had somewhat run down, but not bad (parts of the sites and roads were a little rough). New management is great to work with and are improving the park. It is very convenient to I-77 and the Blue Ridge parkway. The spaces are among the larger we have visited. Most of the roads are paved, spaces are graveled. It was nice and quiet and good security. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Avoid this camp ground at all costs. There is a nice camp ground called Utts Campground 1/2 mile farther north on US 52 in Fancy Gap, VA. The main problem is the owner who suffers from a rage or anger management problem. He, in an uncontrolled rage, shouted, cursed, berated and threatened me over a minor problem (where he was in the wrong) to the point that I feared for my safety. I left immediately before I suffered physical injury. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We really liked this campground a lot. It was clean and well run. I don't understand some of the other reviews at all. We have NEVER had a bad experience there. The sign-in persons were friendly and courtious. The bathrooms were very clean too. We have been stopping there for about 10 years now and will continue to do so. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We found this CG on the internet and camped before 2004 but form only went back that far. WHAT A MISTAKE! Could be improved by giving staff some manners, mowing more often, "lake" was snakey looking, campstore was maybe a dozen items on about 3 shelves in the office/check in. Our site was at back in the woods on a hill (maybe site 49?) Bathrooms all the way up at the check in booth/office It was in a nice area, lots of shade, near the BRP and close to attractions in Fancy Gap We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We found this CG on the Internet. It looked okay from their site. The site listed a fishing pond, but I don't think anything could live there it was very overgrown. The so-called camp store was a shelf in the camp office with a few dusty items on it. The bathrooms were located at the entrance and were a long walk from our campsite. The site were shaded, but very small. We were very close to the next site and our fire ring was too close to the next camper. Although listed as a family campground, there was nothing for the kids, with the exception of a playground that was really just 2 swings. We found the owners to be rude and offensive, especially the husband. We will not stay there again, and won't recommend it to friends and family. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Close to the New River Trail and Blue Ridge Parkway. Campground is adequate. The owner
smokes a cigar and the odor is quite strong in the registration office. The buildings are old. Game room is basically a pool table and some old electronic games. The sites are shaded and mostly level. It cost $2 per 5 minutes to use the payphone to get online. You also have to find the owner to do so.There were a fair amount of fulltime campground residents, however they were mostly kept in the upper part of the park. Overall, this CG could be better, but will do for the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A pretty multilevel shady park with a clean laundry. The low rating is due to the unhospitible attitude of the owner (Mrs.). The 50amp was broken at our site and she claimed in was our trailer's problem. The office internet hookup could not be accessed without her presence plus a charge of $2 for every 10 minutes online. A very strange person. Plus her house is adjacent but up a hill and when she in needed to for anything in the office, she must be buzzed and you can expect at least a 5 min. waiting period. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a lovely campground in the pines that backs up to the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway. The rows of sites are tiered so you have nobody in front or behind you (in most cases.) Nice playground for children and a small fishing pond. Laundry room was clean with nice looking machines. Rec room has pool table. Office has a small store for camping gear and food, but limited supply. Our stay was very pleasant and quiet. (We have a 40' that fit fine in many sites.) I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to be near this area. There's an excellent golf course about 30 minutes down the Parkway in Laurel Fork( Old Mill Resort). We camped here in a 2001.

We stayed here because the other campground became a KOA and we typically avoid those. However Utts campground was difficult to get into(steep steep steep entry and exit) the sites weren't clearly marked, and we were on top of a hill with no trees. We were at the mercy of the sun and the wind. It was like camping in a field We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground sits on top of a hill or some may call a mountain. The elevation at this camp ground is about 3,000 above sea level. We went up a steep hill to get to the campground. We were received by two of the nicest people we have ever met while camping. The hosts were helpful in picking a spot. He offered advice that was very sound in regards to my camper fitting into one of the sites. The sites overall were a bit on the unleveled side. Each site had electricity, water (well water), and sewer. There was no cable nor were there phone hookup. Both of these we did not need. The grounds were somewhat well kept. The place was free of trash. However, some of the sites were left unmowed. There was a small playground. There was not a pool located at this campground. There was a club house and a bathhouse. There was laundry facilities. The bathhouse was very clean and in excellent repair. There was a tenting area. Overall, I would go back here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
