Grayson Highlands State Park Campground
Perched at 3,698 feet in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, this developed campground puts you in the heart of wild pony country. The 73 sites range from tent-only to full hookup RV spots, with bathhouses and a camp store. Wild ponies often graze near the camping loops — keep your distance and secure food. The park connects directly to the Appalachian Trail and Mount Rogers National Recreation Area.
Access via US-58 then steep park roads that RVs over 40 feet should avoid. Popular during fall foliage and summer months — reservations essential. The elevation means cooler temperatures year-round but also potential for sudden weather changes.
