Deer Creek is a cozy community of Class A and Super C owners located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Galax, Virginia. It’s hard to top the majesty of these mountains, and, frankly, we think anyone attempting to outdo nature’s majesty has the whole thing backwards. We believe life in these parts is about appreciating and honoring the epic beauty of Appalachia. So, if you’re up for making new friends and sharing great times in the heart of one of America’s most pristine landscapes, we say, “come on out! Whether you’re a bass master or a wannabe bass master, our fully stocked fishing pond is steps away. So, pack your light tackle and be sure to include a few spinner baits because there’s a monster down there just waiting to strike something shiny. If you’re an avid angler who wants to catch the dawn bite, choose a site overlooking the Deer Creek Pond, so you can rise, shine, and cast away. Catch and release only, please. The fish help keep our pond healthy. We completed a beautiful rebuild of our Clubhouse over the 2022-2023 season, so our community hub has never looked or felt better. With a full kitchen and a total of 3,850 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, it’s the perfect setting for any type of get-together. The Clubhouse also happens to be home to our on-site fitness center and laundry facility. So, you can work out while running a few spin cycles, if you like. Discover our small-but-mighty fitness center, where every workout packs a punch. Thoughtfully designed and fully equipped, it offers the perfect blend of high-quality machines and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re squeezing in a quick session or committing to a full routine, this intimate space delivers big results with personalized comfort and zero intimidation. Our furry friends also have a great place to play. The dog park is full of green grass – no dirt here! Equipped with a dog station, water, benches underneath the shade tree for our humans, and lots of room to chase a ball or roll around in the grass.

Learn more about this land: Camp site situated along 3 separate creeks connected by one large private 11 acre field. Tate Run/ Reed Creek/ Venrick Run. The farm house is across the road and the whole property comprises of 88 acres of woods and pasature.

Great spot. Very level, especially for being on a mountain. Very quiet. Great view of the sunrise in the morning. Showers are hot. Friendly host!

The Blue Ridge Parkway is an incredible scenic drive with nonstop mountain views and peaceful overlooks. It’s the perfect place to slow down, enjoy nature, and take in some of the most beautiful scenery around. A must-see any time of year.

From this camping spot near Elkin, if you drive N on Hwy 21 towards Sparta, take the South route on the parkway, the North route was extremely underwhelming.

This was the best camping experience I have had. The site is isolated to where it's very private, but also easily accessible to the surrounding areas. Excellent hosts, beautiful cabins, and gorgeous views.

Incredible views

I got married at a lookout on the BRP so I’m biased but this is my favorite road in the states, especially in the fall, obviously! You need to visit at least once in your life!!

We were there in October, The drive on the parkway is beautiful. One of the biggest attractions on the entire parkway is Mabry mill. We were disappointed with it being closed, the restaurant is too. Also disappointed with how the surrounding area around the mill needs updating and landscaping. The Mill pond needs to be cleaned out, it’s not what it used to be to be.

Rocky Knob for the save!

Rocky Knob Campground

Got to Rocky Knob late due to a HipCamp failure, but still found finding an open site and registering easy to do. Sites are all well marked and large, room for 1 vehicle with a roof top tent as well as options for where to place a ground tent.

Closed in this section north of US421. My favorite national park and the bulk of my conservation work. A must see for anyone and everyone, there’s nothing quite like it!
