ABOUT THE CAMPGROUND:
Tucked away in the small town of Goshen, Virginia, you will find the Historic Cold Sulphur Springs Campground. This beautiful site is situated amongst the mountains of Virginia, and has the amazing views that come with the outstanding location. Our grounds accommodate 3 campsites suited for tent camping, and 14 others appropriate for RV camping. Our site offers access to Cold Sulphur Springs Lake, where visitors can swim, fish, boat, and more. Our secluded location are perfect for a get-away from the city. In addition to our activities, we offer amenities such as a bathhouse, as well as electric and water hook-ups, and a dump station. Please note that we are also a seasonal campground, so we offer accommodations to both nightly and annual visitors. Some seasonal campers leave their vehicles at the site for the season, so you will see a mix of empty and occupied sites.
NOTES ABOUT BOOKING:
***During hunting season (October-December), target practice and shooting will be held on Sundays from 3-6 PM at the dam. Please avoid the lake and lake area during shooting time. The road is safe to use to access the campground. Practice is limited to monthly and seasonal campers.***
Please plan ahead when joining us! Our location really is quite remote, so bring flashlights or headlamps to ensure you have enough light to set-up camp if staying overnight, especially if you are expecting a late arrival.
Please specify if you would like a fire pit and/or picnic table when booking.
We have both tent camping and RV camping sites. Please specify which kind of site you will need. If camping with an RV/camper, please note we offer 30 and 50 amp power at each site.
Finally, please note that we are a campground under new ownership and we will be making improvements as we go (tree trimming, seeding, plumbing, etc.)! Please excuse any noise or mess. We will do our best to schedule our maintenance away from your campsite, but it may be in the vicinity.
OUR LOCATION:
Goshen's location is extremely convenient, with the cities of Lexington and Staunton just a short drive away. Day trips to Lynchburg and Roanoke are also easily done from Goshen. Douthat State Park and the Goshen Pass are nearby as well. We recommend the Goshen Pass as the best swimming hole around!
OUR HISTORY:
In addition to being a beautiful and serene place to be, Cold Sulphur Springs has a wonderful history that can be re-imagined just by stepping on site. The Historic Cold Sulphur Springs Campground dates back to at least the mid-late 1800s, when it was a large, flourishing resort frequented by travelers from near and far. In its heyday, the resort bustled with more than 250 guests who often spent entire summers there playing croquet and enjoying orchestra concerts at the hotel dance hall. They would arrive at the Goshen train station and be brought to the resort by horse and buggy, greeted with ice cold lemonade. Those who visited Cold Sulphur Springs, doctors especially, attributed miraculous medicinal benefits to the water, recommending it as a cure for a variety of ailments and encouraging patients to visit.
However, the 1900s brought the onset of World War I and the advent of the automobile, allowing Americans to travel freely to a variety of locations without the need to summer for months at one resort. These factors caused the hotel at Cold Sulphur Springs to lose patrons and eventually meet its demise through fire and other means of destruction.
Today, the grounds provide a simpler kind of hospitality. Cold Sulphur Springs is a place for travelers from all walks of life to camp, fish, swim, boat, hike, and more. While little remains of the old hotel, the historic Spring House is still in tact at the campground, as are some remnants of original building foundations. Please note the springs are not accessible for guest use.
We invite you to explore the wonder that is the Historic Cold Sulphur Springs Campground and see the beauty that lies within.

17mi from Lexington · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
20 minutes drive from multiple Appalachian Trails application An agricultural space purchased after the civil once used to grow sweet potatoes, and the family has become a forest. Full of tulip polars, spruces, locusts, cedars, and greenbrier, she is home to passing black bears, turkeys, deer, and more.
Over the years, the property has been stewarded by different groups who work to make a place for all walks of life in search of sanctuary.
Today, this 69-acre property hosts some remnants of structures built at the turn of the century, a family house, a burial ground, a barn that will be a bonfire soon, and a stream running through that supplies water to the county we want to reclaim.
We endeavor to use whatever we earn from guests' visits to make improvements on the land and eventually be able to pay someone who could use an extended stay here as a full-time steward.

19mi from Lexington · 1 site · Tent, RV
Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, our A-frame “Triangle House” sits on 2 private, wooded acres—perfect for a peaceful getaway under the stars. While the house itself isn’t available for overnight stays, Hipcampers are welcome to pitch a tent anywhere on the property’s grassy clearings or car camp in the driveway.
Wake up to mountain air, sip your coffee on the spacious porch with mountain views, and wind down at night around the outdoor fire pit—ideal for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, and stargazing.
Good to know: The driveway is steep and gravel, so please plan accordingly—longer camper vans may have difficulty getting up the hill.
If you’re looking for a quiet mountain escape with plenty of fresh air, open sky, and cozy camp vibes, this spot is for you!

I know I left a review earlier but wanted to expand on it since I stayed a second time. I mentioned that the property is quiet and it is. However, there is some farming equipment you may hear on the road at times. I just wanted to update as it's not 100% quiet. Still, I would stay again. Lovely place.

I jeep camped on the property for the last week stent of my assignment in Roanoke. Its honestly very quiet and peaceful. Very private. I found the driveway manageable with 4 wheel drive. It's not bad at all. A little bumpy as described but jeep handled like a pro. I would return. Beautiful drive, property and area. Plus there's a winery just around the bend.

This was our first visit. It’s peaceful, clean, lots of hiking and a nice watering hole for fishing. Goshen has a lot to offer if you love the outdoors. Because of the great hospitality from staff and the locals, we will be back soon! One love- The Ackermans
