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.

Great site, we will be back again. The tent sites and cabins look amazing. We stayed in the RV site with electric and water. It was easy to get to and set up. The only negative is that you are close to the road and get the traffic noise. There is lots of room to roam and let kids and dogs play.

My dog and I were just passing through on our road trip and what a beautiful place to stay! We got there late, but were able to set up and an adorable orange kitty came to help. I really enjoyed how easy it was to find the site, despite it being really dark, and the site was flat and ready for me to set up. The creek at site #9 is amazing as well, my dog was a happy boy in the morning

A great place and host. Added bonuses were the nearby gas station , a nice view of sharp top mountain, close to the hiking trails for Peaks of Otters and close to Lynchburg. The bathroom has shower. washer and dryer. He has a good WI-FI connection. The landscaping is also nicely laid out. The cats and chickens are super friendly.

Lovely spot to pitch a tent! We arrived late but were warmly greeted by other guests and spent a great evening having our dinner in the dining area and chatting around the bonfire. And I was not prepared for those cookies, they were SO good. Very convenient to Goshen, we’ll definitely stop by again.

Stayed here in my 20' van for a week. Beautiful property, easy to get in once you figure it out. Bathroom was sufficient but as other have said it could use some upgrades. Very worth it for the price. Inconsistent cell service with T-Mobile and Google Fi (sometimes great sometimes non-existent). Cute neighbor cats that hang around too :) would definitely stay again!

We loved our site #9. The sites are spaced far enough apart for privacy. The creek was so pleasant listening to as we slept. The bathroom and shower is a plus. Very close to peaks of otter. Would definitely recommend!

We absolutely loved this campsite. It was super cozy and had beautiful views, both of the stream and woods and of Sharp Top mountain! The property was great. The bathhouse was very nice and the site itself was clean with plenty of space to set up camp. It is the perfect spot for a weekend camping trip and we’d definitely come back again!

Great location with a lot of space! Adam was super helpful and answered all our questions. We stayed at site 1 with electric and water. We had a lot of distance to other lots and there is also a lot of green space around! Everything was great and as described.
