Recommendations for campgrounds near the Virginia Creeper Bike Tail

[Jane SC]

We are taking grandchildren camping near this 33 mile trail. We are having a hard time finding a nice campground with sites with electric. Would appreciate you input! Thanks. Jane

Yes, it's really hard finding RV camping up there. There's a 7 space campground right in downtown Damascus, but it's expensive and right on the road. Don't like. You can drive out 58 to Beartree Campground (about 9 miles, but the curvy roads take almost 40 minutes to get there)...very nice but no electricity or water at sites. Virginia Highlands SP is beautiful, with a great campground but even further away on 58. I'm not sure what options may exist going the other direction on 58 (towards Abingdon). I know the road is much straigher on that side of town! I was just up in Damascus for AT Trail Days and spent a lot of time there when I lived in East Tennessee in the early 90's. Great town! But you're right, RV camping options are slim. You may want to call the town chamber or the outdoors store in town, Mount Rogers Outfitters. Good luck!

I was looking at Corp of Engineers camp sites when I saw your message, but the closest two are an hour or so away.
