Best in Virginia: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

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. We'd like to share the camp with others and see 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.

Site 1 (aka Bunny 2)

Camp site was well shaded and private. Bath houses and common areas are very cleaned and well maintained. There is a play area for older kids and some games in the pavilion, but most of the area attractions are off-site, so you will need to travel. Adam was very helpful with helping us deal with some unexpected car issues. Overall, nice place for a quiet relaxing time.

Site 11 (aka Bear 1)

We had a great weekend camping here! The site was well kept and we had 2 outhouses were nearby to the site which was nice. Great view of the stars from the field. We saw a few shooting stars and the got some good shots of the milky way!

Site 5 (aka Woodpecker 4)

This campsite was amazing. It is close together but how the sites are set up between the trees, you wouldn’t know. It was hot the days we went so we cooled down in the creek a couple sites away and it was fantastic. I would 100% book this campsite again.

Site 7 (aka Fox 1)

It was a great site. Not to close to other sites. Our host was very friendly and helpful. Not far from the bathhouse.
