This review is about the campground itself, not the park. We were disappointed in this Va. state park. The sites with electric/water were for the most part small. Most were on the outside of the loops with the back of your camper on the road. The sites don't look like they have had fresh gravel put down in years so when it is dry, it is very dusty and dirty. If the camp host drove by once, they drove by 500 times a day on the loud gas powered gators. Very annoying when you are so close to the road. Also, when we arrived we found that it was acceptable to save the best sites for your friends with lawn chairs, who knew? We enjoyed hikes inside the park but we can now say we've been there and done that. Virginia has too many parks with much better sites to be squeezed in like that again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped at Grayson Highlands in a 33 footer. Arriving late in the day we were left with a pretty narrow site, however there are many nice sites to choose from and almost all are shaded. The camp store was well stocked with gift items and snacks, not much on staples. Being at the highest elevation in VA, the ten degree cooler temperatures made a nice change from the East Coast heat wave. Bring jackets even if you think you will not need them. We did not miss a swimming option, we biked the Va Creeper trail two days. Lots of hiking trails, at all different levels to view vistas, waterfalls and the wild ponies. We will return, park is located in a beautiful section of SW Virginia. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
