RECREATION.gov or by calling 1-877-444-6777.
The Blue Ridge Parkway offers nine tranquil and scenic
campgrounds to enhance your journey along America’s
Favorite Drive. They do not offer full hookups, but they do
come equipped with restrooms, drinking water, picnic tables
and grills, and most can accommodate sizeable recreational
vehicles.
Be sure to ask about Ranger talks and campfire programs that
are given on weekends and occasionally during the week.
Campsites also offer ready access to parts of the Parkway’s 350
miles of hiking trails for travelers who want to explore on foot,
but keep in mind that campgrounds are at elevations of more
than 2,500 feet and dressing in layers is suggested all year.
Campgrounds are open May through October, with a per night
charge of $16. Reservations may be made at Mt. Pisgah,
Linville Falls, Price Park, Rocky Knob and Peaks of Otter
campgrounds. All other campgrounds and sites are first come,
first served. To make a reservation, visit www.recreation.gov
or call toll-free (877) 444-6777. Reserved sites are $19 per
night. As a general rule, demand is higher on weekends and
holidays.
Group camping is available only at Linville Falls Campground.
Call (828) 765-6082 for more information. In addition, limited
backcountry camping is available via permit at Basin Cove in
Doughton Park, (336) 372-8568, and Rock Castle Gorge,
(540) 745-9661. Camping outside of designated campgrounds
(or without a permit at backcountry sites) is prohibited.
Most tunnels provide plenty of clearance, although several
near Cherokee have a minimum height of less than 11 feet at
the road’s edge, and drivers of especially tall vehicles should
favor the centerline!
