Starting December 1, or first night below freezing we will be closing down Bath House and only access will be at outhouses. Only sites near outhouses will be open and there will be no access to water. Situated at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and bordering the Jefferson National Forest, Thunder BRidge has scenic, large, private tent sites and cabins in the woods for those who want to experience camping at its finest. Many of the sites border Elk Creek. Our RV sites are large, flat and at the edge of the forest in a well kept open green space. Our 100 acres was originally a camp built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the "30s and early '40s, then a boys' juvenile detention center and Big Brothers'/Big Sisters' camp, which closed in 2009. The tent sites and cabins are in the forest, away from the buildings out front, but you're free to walk around and check out the historic site. Most of the buildings out front are artist studios (currently for 16 artists). We like to share the camp with others and watch it come back to life. All within a short driving distance are the Natural Bridge, wineries, breweries, Natural Bridge Zoo, Safari Park, Dinosaur Kingdom, Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, James River, historic Lexington, Devil's Marbleyard, Glenwood Horse Trail, swimming holes, etc. We have river access 2 miles up the road if you'd like to fish or put your kayak or canoe in. Truly, there is something nearby for everyone. We'd be happy to give you recommendations of things to see and do. If you are a star gazer you won't be disappointed by our dark sky. We want to share our property with those who want to stay for more than one night, so we do not accept inquiries of single night stays.

Camp experience was great (aside from the directions pulled from the app not being accurate - had to ask a couple of locals for directions to get un-lost). Adam was super friendly and check-in/out was super simple.

Fantastic Stay – Highly Recommend! We had an amazing experience at this camp! Adam was an outstanding host, super responsive, and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. The campsite (Woodpecker1) itself was peaceful, clean, and well maintained, with all the facilities in top shape. You can tell a lot of care goes into keeping the place welcoming and comfortable. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing weekend getaway or a convenient base for exploring the area, this spot is perfect. Thanks again to Adam for being such an accommodating and thoughtful host. We’ll definitely be back!

Thoroughly enjoyed camping at Butterfly 1. The host was flexible with parking when we explained we were there for a driving trip and might need to park 5 cars there. Cool spot with a stream running nearby, a couple nearby camp sites for a somewhat communal feeling and overall great stay. Would recommend and may stay there next year for the first leg of our next journey!

This was our second time staying at Thunder BRidge and Woodpecker 5, specifically. We love this place. Adam is incredible and took care of everything we needed and was great at communicating. This is the best place we have stayed on Hipcamp. 100% recommend to anyone visiting the area. We have done Devil's Marbleyard twice now and stayed here both times. Wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Fantastic weekend at Thunder BRidge! Planned this camping trip last minute for my fiancé’s birthday with our kiddos- everyone had a blast. Cots in Butterfly 1 though thin, were more comfortable than anticipated. The camp was clean and well cared for with a lot of history behind it. Bathrooms were well stocked and water was hot- a huge plus considering it was in the 40s our first morning! Adam was nice enough to send us a video of how to get to our site which was extremely convenient being that we’re not familiar with the area and did not arrive until late Friday night. Already planning on making camping at Thunder BRidge a yearly family tradition.

Woodpecker 1 was the perfect site to choose. It was very close to the bath house which was super convenient. Also, a private trail down to the creek and a direct trail to Woodpecker 5 if you have friends there. Adam was super helpful throughout the stay.

The site was great, host was very responsive and answered questions in a timely manner. There was no data around our campsite, the bathroom/ rec center however had free WiFi and it was only a short walk away. Host provided lots of firewood, more than you would get in store and was very quick to provide it which we appreciated very much! There were directions on how to get to some really lovely water/swimming holes which was very nice as well!

Adam is very helpful, kind, patient and responsive. We were very slow getting in and he waited for us and was ready to direct us into the camp. He gave us a map and was available for questions and very prompt in responses. We had a great time there and our party of 4, including 2 kids (4 and 11) had more than enough space at our site (woodpecker 1). There was plenty of seating and the cots were better than expected. We appreciated the directions to the swimming hole and other campers told me they were really great places to swim but we ran out of time! Will definitely check that out next time. This kids also loved the ping pong table!

Butterfly 1 was the perfect spot for our family! Our girls loved having easy walking access to the river. The firepit was perfect set up for s’mores. It was great to have the seating area by the firepit and inside the shelter. The spot was private and quiet with easy access to nearby gas station for essentials we forgot. We will definitely keep this spot in mind for future adventures!

This camp is peacefully situated in a beautiful forest with a clean creek running through the back end of the campground. With lots of large, spread out camp sites you will have lots of privacy to relax. Nice park model screen cabins with cots to sleep on and a table. Large fire pits and our space also had a fire pit grill. We will definitely be returning!

Weekend Trip to Wilderness Adventure

Cabin camping at this little slice of heaven was everything I was looking for. Everyone working there and staying there were all kind and down to earth. They are pet friendly, reasonably priced, and just good people... What more could you ask for? The property is huge with lots of options for adventure (kayaking, tubing, and canoeing) as well as some hiking paths. The pups and I will most certainly be back!
