The park was pretty, staff friendly. We asked for a pull through and got one right across from the office based on other reviewer input. We had to put 3 inches under our tires on the passenger side to level it and to keep our car attached for the night, we had to pull forward so far that we couldn't hook up to the septic. We were told they have a dump station. We would not stop here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a lovely park! Sites were well maintained level gravel, and roomy, with large trees affording privacy and shade. Restrooms and showers were clean but dated. Lots of room to walk in the park and on a short nature trail. Staff was extremely pleasant and accommodating. When we had problems with the cable hookup the office quickly sent someone to help us resolve the problem. Free coffee was available in the office for early risers. We wished we could have stayed longer and would definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The managers were friendly, the showers and restrooms were clean. The store was well stocked with supplies. There were activities for kids. The sites were roomy but were not level. It was a quiet area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The wireless internet was not working. The TV was out most of weekend. It is satellite so maybe the rain had something to do with it. The Campground has nice, easy pull through sites. The only issue was the activities were not run at times given to us and I thought the staff was a little unmotivated. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very nice KOA: well kept, friendly and with helpful staff. It is close to I-81 but is set way back so there is no highway noise. The campground is set on a hill, wooded with many terraced sites. The main road into the campground is wide and paved, interior roads are gravel and are a bit narrow in some spots and it is hilly. Although we liked the campground very much, we did not like our site. We have a big rig and they did give us a pull through but it was at the top of the hill, behind the office. It was a multi-level site, we had steps from our parking space to our picnic table and fire ring! There was barely a spot to put your foot on the ground when you stepped out of the rig before there was a steep hill down. So, if you go in with anything over 40' with toad, ask for one of the pull-throughs across from the office, they are much nicer. The park is pet friendly, lots of places to walk, even a little nature trail. There is a large open field near the group camping area which was vacant when we were there, so we had some nice off leash time with the frisbee. Don't miss visiting the town of Lexington which is nearby, it is a beautiful colonial town. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very good experience with this overnight site, traveling from FL to NY. Probably not a destination, but it would qualify due to all fine amenities. Nice shady sites, well separated. Two check-in clerks on duty all the time, helpful escort to site. Large, clean restrooms, private shower stalls, good cable, Wi-Fi. Close and convenient to Interstate 81 exit, but not so near that noise is a problem. Would recommend highly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground and restrooms are very clean and our site was level. Their level of customer service was outstanding. They go the extra mile to make sure that your stay is enjoyable, whether it's delivering firewood to your site, or just checking in to make sure that everything is OK. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is the best! We love the people working here: they are so very nice. This campground is a great place for children and pets. A very clean and pretty place. We had a great time and can't wait to go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Outstanding management shows at this campground. Level sites, clean bathrooms & pool, gameroom, campstore, laundry, firewood delivered to your site, pet-friendly, full hookups, cable, and quiet. No problem with our 32' TT. Price seemed a little high but well worth it to stay where people care about the customer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
When we made our reservations (online) we asked to be close to bath house because we were traveling with my in-laws who are elderly. The staff couldn't be helpful. They took us to our site, which was right behind the store/main bath house. They had lots of family fun activities all afternoon. My in-laws, who have never camped before loved it. They were very impressed with the facilities & staff. A staff member even came by the next morning to make sure everything was to our liking, another reason we love KOA's. The store has pretty much anything you need. It's easy to get to off I-81 and close to Natural Bridge. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is absolutely excellent. Very friendly people running the park, and they were exceptionally helpful to us, new RV'ers. The park is very clean and well kept, the sites are level and clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This Park represents the reason we never have any misapprehensions when booking into a KOA. The people were friendly and helpful, the place was well-groomed, the restrooms were well maintained and clean, and all the site utilities were in good shape. This Park is on a hillside, with lots of trees, and you should probably unhook your toad at the office. One of the hosts will help you get spotted. There are nature trails for dog walking, and the place is very pet friendly. The big bonus here is the location; you're close to the Natural Bridge (a must see), Blue Ridge Parkway, Poplar Forest, and a lot of other atractions, not the least of which is the town of Lexington. The Washington and Lee campus and VMI are each beautiful, and the Lee Chapel and Museum is also a must see. We planned to spend three days here and wound up staying five. In general, a remarkably lovely area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The owners of this campground are the nicest people! I know others have mentioned the sites not being level; however, we didn't have a problem. The owner will help you get into your site and tell you the best spot. Campground is in the mountains so I didn't expect a paved parking lot. If you have younger children, I would recommend this campground over the Jellystone near by because the Jellystone is split into by a county road. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It was our first camping experience. The sites were mostly shaded with lots of trees, a bit tight as far as the roads, and the site we were at required quite a bit of leveling. Campground was full, but quiet. Lots of kids activities for Halloween; trick or treating, site decorating contest, pumpkin carving, hay rides, and a ghost walk. The store was fully stock and the staff was friendly and helpful. Gas station right outside the gate that could fill propane tanks and Lexington was within a few miles that has a Wal-Mart and several restaurants. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We spent one night at this park. We thought the price was a little high for a dirt pad with no sewer. While we were able to get to the site with the car attached, but it was a little tight with all the trees and curves. There was a little diner (The Pink Cadillac Diner) within walking distance that served typical small-town diner fare. It is rare to find a KOA that is not woodsy and rustic, so we got what we expected. Not likely to stay again. The staff was very friendly, the wi-fi worked for the few minutes I was on, but the cable selection was poor. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Slightly above average for a KOA, but must have absentee owners because the staff doesn't really care if you stay here or not. Our only request at check-in was for a level site. To get our motorhome level both wheels were off the ground on the curb side. Published rates look average, but then there is an extra charge for cable, etc. By the time we got a level site and paid for the extras, we wished we had stayed somewhere else. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There were friendly, helpful camp hosts. The park is convenient to the interstate. We wouldn't really recommend this for big rigs - the largest sites are like threading the needle through the trees and aren't terribly level; it taxed our leveling system. Campground seems to have removed as few trees and leveled as little as possible. Aside from the space for the rig, the rest of the site was unusable. We would not recommend pulling in past dark due to the challenging drive to the site. There are very limited cable channels, and it is tough to get a satellite signal. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites are all on a hill and tierd. The staff was helpful and guided us to our site. The price is pretty steep for nothing very special. There was really nothing wrong with the park but we have been in much nicer cheaper parks. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Our site was of an adequate size and required minimal leveling. However the area around the site was rather hard to navigate because of tree roots and uneven ground. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Internet connection was good. We would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is built on a hill. All the sites are gravel. They are laid out in a tier fashion. We have a class C motorhome and rely on leveling blocks. We simply do not have enough blocks to get our motorhome level. If it were not for the fact that it was a long day traveling in heavy traffic, I would leave here and move on to somewhere else. The fact that we are being charged $42 for this site is quite irritating. I would not recommend this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed here several times over the last three years. The owners a quite helpful, I needed a piece of wood cut to make a repair and the owner helped out very willingly. They are making numerous improvements...paved a very steep road on the back side. We will continue to use this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped here two nights on our way back home. Campground was basically empty.Asked for a site with just water and electric...they said they didn't have any and we would have to use a pull thru site at $40 a night in Nov.,a little steep I thought.Also,they were feeding wild cats near our trailer...meowed all night and picked garbsge all day.The only nice thing I can say is that is close to Natural Bridge and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Sites in vicinity were unpaved but mostly level. Arrived at night, and partially missed level portion. Only bad mark was that I didn't get a refund for leaving one day early. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lovely park, easy off and on the freeway. Stayed only one night, but would definitely return. Site was nice and long, so didn't have to unhook. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Pretty tight. Sites are not very level. Staff in office could not take credit card presented and insisted that our friends credit card be charged because it was used to make the reservation. Cited "The Computer" as the reason we think it is just because they were too lazy. Not much else in the area so I guess we will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Real kid friendly campground, wooded site with nice, helpful people. Not far away from caverns and natural bridge. Paved roads to sites and good level sites. Relaxed atmosphere and easy access to highway. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very woodsy campground. If you like trees this is the place for you. All sites are terraced and narrow with a grassy/weedy strip in between. There are a lot of turns you have to maneuver to get to your site. The laundry has 3 newer machines with 2 large older dryers. There is no air conditioning in the laundry room. The pool area is very nice. We had no problem getting our satellite however looking at the rest of the sites I would say no way. The office staff were ok. They do escort you to your site however. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites are kind of close together, but this is a real nice place. Used it for 2 overnight stays and really enjoyed it there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very beautiful campground and the staff are very friendly, as a matter of fact, they went beyond the call of duty to help us as our truck had engine problems. The landscaping is great and the sites are level. We even had entertainment on Friday night. Would highly recommend this campground We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice family oriented park. We were passing through and stayed one night. Would have been a 10 but the wifi was terrible. When it worked it was slow but most of the time it was not working. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped here for three nights. The owners were very nice, helpful and friendly. They had all kinds of fun activities planned for the family. They had live music, karaoke, ice cream social, puppet show, and bead making class. The camp store had very nice and reasonable priced. Our site was on a 30 degree slant and made using the picnic table tough. We were escorted to our site. We had low water pressure. We had a wooded site but you could hear the interstate traffic at night. The fire pit was within a foot of our awning and was useless. One bathhouse for the entire campground. We will most likely go back again because of the owners and the activities. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Super, very clean facility. Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of poison ivy in the area which is unfortunate for someone like me who is allergic to it. I would have preferred the dog area to be fenced in and a little bit larger. They charge extra for having dogs in the cabins. Despite the downfalls mentioned, I enjoyed the experience. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
Not good, not bad. Place could use a lot of work. Not the friendliest staff. Bit disappointed in the entire trip save for the wildlife park you can drive through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped with extended family for two nights. The three sites we used were next to each other and except for being a little uneven were just what we needed. The staff was friendly and helpful making reservations and at check-in. Our only complaint was the copious amounts of mosquitoes. The staff sprayed but to no avail. We will return. We camped here in a Tent.
Nice people but our confirmation was for a full hook up site and we were given a water electric only. Kind of hilly but manageable. We give higher marks to the Yogi Bear at Natural Bridge Station where we stayed on the return trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is not your typical KOA campground. It is hilly and wooded. The owners were pleasant. We were escorted to our site. Bathrooms very clean and nicely decorated. Our only problem is that we couldn't gain access to the internet at our site. When we called the office they said it was probably because everyone was using it at the same time. We would return to this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park off the interstate, so it was quiet. Friendly, helpful staff. Sites seemed to be mostly level with plenty of trees. Cable and WiFi available at no extra charge. Would highly recommend this campground. Plenty to see and do in the area. Even the fact I hit a tree leaving the site (my bad) does not diminish the enjoyment of our stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is over charging. They bring almost every camper up a 33 degree hill. not all sites had cable there is a 15.00 charge for the honey wagon. We were there 4 nights with very little water they kept the water running into the pool to keep it full so that left us to a drip most of the time.We were in a pull thru site on the hill with a tree at the end so we couldn't pull the camper out had to back out on to the hill. This campground needs to be up dated. Its not big enough for newer RV's We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great park, friendly rangers, clean restrooms. The walk to the river was nice. We had a very sunny site, so had to use AC a lot. Would go back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped here for a week and it had it's good and bad parts. The owners were very nice, helpful and friendly. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome. They had some great activities for the kids. They had live music every night and they had karokee which was a lot of fun. The owners have only been at this CG for 2 years and are making changes. They went above and beyond to help us with some problems that we had. The camp store had very reasonable prices on most items and had everything you could need. The complaints that we had would be about the sites themselves. Our site was very long but very narrow. There was a hill as we came out our door so it made using the awning impossible. The fire pit was within a foot of our camper and was useless. Some sites were not this way and had plenty of room. The restrooms were clean but they only have one bathhouse for the entire campground. There was an issue with the showers for the last couple days. The hot water either didn't come on or only trickled out. With the right site we would go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I simply cannot give this CG a rating over 5. While it has a great location, nice staff and wooded site's that are great for travel trailers and tenters, I believe the pull thru's for the big rigs are over stated and worthless. This is NOT a big rig site. The sewer connections are located at the back of the site making it extremely hard to connect. We simply had to resort to visiting the dump site on our way out instead. Our neighbor accidently dumped his grey tank on the ground after the stretched out hose from his rig split open trying to reach the sewer. The WIFI has a very poor signal and we were located right behind the office on site #83. Most of the time it didnt work. The pull thru sites are very small width wise. We stepped out our door and had to jump over to the hill. The picnic table sets on an incline and really couldnt be used and getting into and out of your basement compartments is extremely hazardous due to the drop off to the paking pad. This place is a $22 - $25 dollar a night CG that is trying to justify its rates and pass itself off a a resort. It surely is NOT worth what we paid. We wont be back unless they adjust their rates and do something with the pull thru sites. Word of the wise - Disconnect your toad before driving up the gravel road. It will get completely covered in grey road dust. Also be very careful winding through to the pull thru sites. Those drop off's next to the road can hurt your rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our first campground camping experience, and it was great. It was a holiday weekend, and the place was packed, but did not feel crowded. We had trouble with our refrigerator, as we did not know how to work it, and the Work Camper came to our site, and showed us how to work almost everything on our new trailer. There was a nice bluegrass band at night, and ice cream socials where all proceeds went to benefit the KOA charity. The staff was very knowledgeable about the area. I would stay there again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is the friendliest park we've stayed in since leaving the western states. The owners are very friendly and do a great job in organizing fun activities for the weekends. The sites are a little tricky to level your RV but the hilly countryside is part of the beauty. Just make sure you have your levelers. We didn't mind the leveling problem at all because the activities and friendliness of the owners made up for it. It's a beautiful, shaded park. We hope to go back again and again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

New owners are starting on their second year, very friendly and helpful. The campground is in need of maintenance on the toilets and showers, half of them were closed for repairs. Showers very small. Camping spaces were made with an effort to preserve as many trees as possible, making the park quite beautiful, but challenging to get a big rig in certain sites. Nearby restaurant will deliver, menus available in CG office. Excellent playground for children. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Enjoyed ou stay at this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The people running this park have an interesting management style. The nights we were there, the park was only about one-third filled. And everyone was all crammed together in side-by-side sites, stacked in together like a cord of wood. When we asked if we couldn't have one of the 60 or so sites that were unoccupied in other areas of the park, we were told we had to take the site assigned to us. Then there is the swimming pool, which is nice enough, except that it is used by many people in the community that are not staying in the park. Thus, it was filled to overflowing with kids doing canonballs into the water. Not a place for an adult to even swim one lap. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice campground close to Lexington and many historical sites. Great place to stay while enjoying the area. Road into park needed work but we were there early in the season while maintenance projects were underway. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stumbled across this CG with no prior research and were pleasantly surprised. The hosts were very kind and sympathetic since we were supposed to go to VA Beach, but Hurricane Isabel drove us inland. The CG was mostly empty during the day, and our kids (ages 10 and 6) gave the playground two thumbs up. Also, the owners were VERY accomodating by keeping their pool open a few extra days for us
(HUGE bonus for the kids). Their game room, though musty, was another hit. The CG is hilly, but felt more private, since nobody could look directly across into another RV. Its also shady, and the views of the mountains are beautiful. The bathrooms were cleaned on a regular basis. We would definitely visit again - the drive through safari park down the road was too much fun. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Family and I stayed at this CG Memorial Day Weekend 2002. Campground is generally run down and unkempt. Most sites are relatively small and "hilly". CG has a water pressure problem. One bath-house. Intermittent hot water availability in the showers. Will not likely return. Pass this one by, unless you're simply passing through. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
