# Thunder BRidge See photos, check availability, and book on Hipcamp: https://www.hipcamp.com/en-US/land/virginia-thunder-bridge-1xmhm0nw - **Location:** Natural Bridge Station, Virginia, United States - **Price:** from $37.00/night - **Rating:** 100% recommend (738 reviews) - **Sites:** 25 - **Size:** 100 acres - **Host:** Adam P. ## Overview 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. We also don't offer longterm rentals as we focus on short term camping. ## Highlights - **Best Hipcamps in Virginia:** Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2026. - **Amazing views:** Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views. - **Family-friendly:** Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids. - **Best in Virginia: Finalist:** Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024. - **Adam is a Star Host:** Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences. - **Creature comforts:** Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen. - **Private sites:** 96% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private. ## Amenities - **Amenities:** Pets, Potable water, Toilets, Campfires, Showers, Trash, Cooking equipment, Picnic table, Wifi, Playground - **RV amenities:** Electricity Hookup, Water Hookup, Generators - **Activities:** Biking, Boating, Fishing, Hiking, Horseback riding, Paddling, Off-roading (OHV), Climbing, Swimming, Wildlife watching - **Terrain:** Forest, Lake, River, stream, or creek, Swimming hole, Mountainous, Field ## Sites - **RV Site 1** (rv-tent, up to 8 guests, $47.00/night) - **Woodpecker 3** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **Butterfly 1** (cabin, up to 6 guests, $70.00/night) - **Thunder Bridge Cabin 2 (Parcell)** (cabin, up to 6 guests, $95.00/night) - **Woodpecker 7** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **Bunny 5** (tents, up to 10 guests, $37.00/night) - **Bunny 3** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **Woodpecker 1** (cabin, up to 6 guests, $70.00/night) - **Bunny 2** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **Woodpecker 4** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **Woodpecker 5** (cabin, up to 6 guests, $70.00/night) - **BRidge Cabin** (cabin, up to 6 guests, $100.00/night) - **Bear 1** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **Fox 2** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **RV Site 3** (rv-tent, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **Fox 1** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **RV Site 2** (rv-tent, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **Butterfly 2** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **RV Site 6** (rv-tent, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **Bunny 4** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **Bear 2** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **RV Site 4** (rv-tent, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **Bear 3** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **Bunny 1** (tents, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) - **RV Site 5** (rv-tent, up to 8 guests, $37.00/night) ## Recent reviews > This is our second time staying here as a family of 5 in one of the cabins. We absolutely love the large beautiful and private sites. The whole campground is a peaceful getaway and Adam is a kind, responsive host. 5 stars! > > - Bethany F., October 31, 2026 > Highly recommend Thunder BRidge! Adam had the site cleaned and ready for our arrival, including stacking our firewood next to the pit. He even helped us find a tent when one of ours was missing the poles. The sites were private and quiet, just as advertised. We will definitely go back! > > - Cory E., October 26, 2026 > Great site and wonderful hosts. Order the firewood! Best deal around. > > - Duke W., October 26, 2026 > Adam was super nice. He met us and brought us to our site. He was always quick to answer if I had a question. The location was beautiful and there was cool artist decor all around the campground. > > - Carri W., October 26, 2026 > We love this cabin for a family getaway.
