Overview

<p>For horseback riders, this campground offers&nbsp;unparalleled access to the most scenic trail riding in our region. Ride from your campsite to enjoy&nbsp;a spectacular day of riding in the Mount Rogers High Country that is arguably the best in the eastern U.S.&nbsp;</p>

About the campground

The elevation is 3,400 feet. The campground, one of 11 in the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, has two unnamed sections straddling Fox Creek. Sites on the south side of Fox Creek are sandwiched between the creek and Rt 603 and will experience traffic noise. Sites north of Fox Creek may hear Rt 603's traffic but will not see any passing vehicles. Although campsites are open and on grass, with a dispersed camping feel, the campground is surrounded by a pleasant dense forest of mixed hemlock, oak, poplar and variety of other trees. The occasional apple tree attests to the area's agricultural past. A popular equestrian campground on the 200-mile network of Virginia Highlands Horse trails, it can be crowded on weekends. The provided equestrian amenities are limited to "high-line" poles but visitors can use portable corrals on their campsite. Fishing is allowed in Fox Creek outside the campground. Horses may be watered only at designated "hardened" places along the creek. This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.
