Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for Blue Ridge Parkway travelers who want immediate access to the scenic drive while enjoying a peaceful, wooded environment.

We love everything about this cabin! It is very clean with all modern conveniences and at the same time it has a warm and cozy feel with lovely quilts, pine walls, and a comfortable bed. The hosts are friendly and went out of their way to make sure of our comfort. We look forward to staying here again next time we visit family in Meadows of Dan!

Great Campground in a beautiful location. Been coming to this campground for years, so glad to see improvements being made! Love the new website for easy reservations! Candace and her family always make us feel right at home!

Very good, could be great. Location and local attractions are fantastic! Blue Ridge Parkway, Chateau Morrisette and other local wineries, local stores and restaurants within a few minutes. Camp sites are mostly nice, albeit a bit close to neighboring campers and some sites a little small. Very large rvs might have issues finding a site to accommodate them. A few signs pointing out the various site #s would be helpful.

The manager and her husband are terrific. They are very helpful and accommodating. The sites are clean with wooded space between most sites. We highly recommend this campground. Please do not make any major changes.

We’ve done a lot of dispersing camping and campgrounds, but this place was absolutely amazing!! Candice (hope I spelled that right) was absolutely wonderful and so accommodating. We had been traveling for awhile and ran into several “glitches” that comes with it but had to find a place last minute close to dark in pouring rain and she was so helpful. We were just gonna stay one night just to sleep and keep going but decided to get a cabin (we had 2 dogs as well) and we loved it so much we stayed 2 days. The entire campground was so well kept, clean beautiful and even if it was packed there was so much room. We will definitely be visiting there again can’t say enough good things about this campsite. If you don’t know it or check it out, you’re missing out.
