Our creekside site was private, beautiful & a perfect landing site. Close to sweet little towns and hiking in Grayson Highlands but remote enough to feel like we were lost in the mountains. Our hosts met our every need and were so friendly and welcoming. We even got a preview of the upcoming tiny home rentals on the ridge- can’t wait for these to be available. We will be back and highly recommend this location!

My wife and I spent 4 nights in our 25 ft travel trailer. It was very quiet and peaceful and was pretty much by ourselves. We camped there during the week. If you camp with a travel trailer, park parallel to the creek where it is level, easy in and out. There is a steep incline when entering and leaving, having the weight of the trailer behind you, you may would need 4 wheel drive to get up the gravel driveway, we did, no problem. Very nice winery in Mt Airy, be sure to stop at the first large produce stand in Cana on Hwy 52, they have produce and food there that you don’t see in grocery store. Jodee was very accommodating and we look forward to staying there again in this beautiful part of Virginia.

This is an absolutely wonderful sight. There is a small rental cabin on one end of the property. At the other end, there is a lovely Safari tent style rental. Nestled between those two are three campsites available for RVs or tent camping. My family went tent camping in one of those sites. There is a potable water supply, and fully electric hook up at these three sites. Absolutely perfect for us. The creek running along all the sites is the icing on the cake. We took two or three walks up and down the creek in each direction, through the rocks in small rapids. The water is crystal clear and cold. The entire site is situated in what I could only call a glade, small valley. It feels incredibly secluded, like you're truly out in the wilderness, but with some modern amenities, like the hookups mentioned before, as well as a small laundry house, and a bathhouse at one corner of the property, with a toilet, and shower. My two daughters appreciated this most of all. LOL. Another thing that makes this site incredible is that, though you feel like you are in a remote area, as the crow flies, you are perhaps really only four miles or so from interstate 77.
Overall we loved our experience and have already told our family about it. We will be back.

Y’all! 11 out of 10! This place was amazing. My wife and I along with another couple stayed here with all of our kids (all four kids under 3 years old) in tents! This is the perfect spot that combines peaceful outdoors with convenient amenities. The kids (and adults) loved playing in the river, looking for fish and crawdads and loved running all over the property. The swing overlooking the river was a nice relaxing spot to chill out when the kids were worn out. Each site had electric and water along with a firepit and a grill. . The bathroom was wonderfully decorated, very clean and used high quality products. The outdoor shower was great and had an amazing view of the little river running below the camp sites (if you can see over the walls)! They even had a washer and dryer that was ideal when the kids got absolutely filthy while playing and eating. We’ve already been talking about going back again! Thank you for the amazing weekend.

We had the most wonderful stay at this HipCamp! The sites were spacious and tucked right along the creek, which made for the most peaceful backdrop. Having water and electrical hookups on-site was such a convenience, and the fact that firewood was already stocked was a game-changer — one less thing to pack!
The bathrooms, showers, and even laundry facilities were all clean and well-maintained, which made the whole experience feel both rustic and comfortable. The only minor drawback was that the hot water for the outdoor shower wasn’t working perfectly, but JoDee, the host, was super responsive and is waiting on a replacement water heater to fix it for future visits.
We loved exploring the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway during the day, then coming back to campfires and cozy nights by the creek. The property felt really well cared for, with thoughtful touches like a yurt site and easy creek access. It was the perfect home base for our weekend adventures — we’ll definitely be back!

I loved staying at Green Acres. The bath house was very clean and had great water pressure. There was a great fire pit next to the pond. I enjoyed using the paddleboard and the little kayak on the pond. The location is quiet yet close to town.

Easy to find and right off the road. This campsite was beautiful! We spent most of our stay trout fishing and generally walking the creek, and our nights lulled to sleep with the sound soft the creek right outside our camper. Plenty of town options were close by if needed. The deer that frequent the property were fun to watch!
Bathroom was super clean.
Would stay again!

This is a charming little campground with a very cute beach on a pond, and a nice bath/shower house.
We got the RV spot and overall it worked fine for us, but I really did not like the red dirt that gets damp with dew and is just mucky. It really needs some gravel or a concerted effort to grow something there. Also that spot is in the afternoon sun until the sun goes down so in summer, it is hot, but with windows open, we got quite cool overnight.
Be careful of ticks! We had two right away.
I heard someone else grumbling about the showers having an opening to look outside (and I’m sure to help them dry out) but we lived the showers and the bathrooms. I will say that the RV spot has a view of the shower “windows” and those taking showers, a view if the RV spot.
We really did like the campground overall though. Just giving info for others to be informed.

The best dog-friendly RV parks near Mount Airy guide
Where to go
Hanging Rock State Park
Hunker down at Hanging Rock State Park, 30 miles east of Mount Airy. Originally a Civilian Conservation Corps project, this park blossomed into an outdoor oasis featuring hiking, biking, horseback riding, swimming, and rock climbing. Explore part of the Mountains-to-Sea State Trail, or swim, paddle, and fish along the Dan River. Offering campsites, showers, vacation rentals, and picnic areas, the park is perfect for holiday getaways or one-day stays. Note that while trailers and RVs are welcome, there are no hookups, so campers must plan for dry sites.
Pilot Mountain State Park
Pop over to Pilot Mountain State Park to find the legendary geological knob at its center. Less than 15 miles from Mount Airy, the park features two areas: mountain and river. The mountain section highlights hiking, picnicking, and rock climbing, while the river section features horseback riding, paddling, and fishing. The Mountains-to-Sea Trail crosses through both areas, allowing campers to flow seamlessly throughout the park. On-site dry camping is available with showers for campers in tents, trailers, and RVs (no hookups available).
Stone Mountain State Park
Wander 35 miles southwest to Stone Mountain State Park—a scenic 600-foot granite dome. A Natural National Landmark, the dome provides panoramic views with the historical Hutchinson Homestead at its base. The park also features a portion of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, perfect for hiking, biking, paddling, and fishing. On-site camping includes tent sites, backpacking sites, backcountry options, and spots for trailers and RVs. Not all RV sites are equipped with hookups, though the camping area does provide showers and communal dump stations.
When to go
With year-round activities and beautiful landscapes, Mount Airy welcomes campers in every season. Summertime temperatures reach average highs of 87°F—ideal for water activities, rock climbing, backpacking, tent camping, and RVing without heat. As winter approaches, be prepared for temperatures to drop below freezing. The area sees yearly snowfall in December, January, and February, meaning campers should be equipped and experienced in cold weather camping or consider heated rentals.
