Description

What Peaks of Otter Campground lacks in actual otters, it more than makes up for in gorgeous Blue Ridge views, epic hiking trails, and plenty of smallmouth bass just ready to be hooked in Abbott Lake. Expect to be surrounded by bouquets of flora that dot the landscape with color, or catch a glimpse of some of the nearby fauna like deer, wild turkey, and Wild Turkey. Kick back and find out if Virginia really is for lovers.

Great campground but is seasonal. Short drive into Bedford!

We arrived at 645 pm just before the campground closed. We were able to check in, but if you arrive late, you can pitch your tent and sign in and pay via envelope. No outside firewood is allowed, but the store a short drive away sells bundles, as does the Peaks of Otter Lodge nearby. We stayed at site A 25. The campground wasn't empty, but prive sites were easy to find. The weather was perfect, our tent pad was flat, and the facilities were more than adequate. The campground is a few hundred yards from the trailhead for Sharp Top Mountain, and not much further to a few less strenuous trails.

Get up early to watch the otters. Quitly exit your tent. There are often deer roaming around the sites in the am.
