Lynchburg NW / Blue Ridge Parkway KOA

Perfect to relax and get away from it all

We have been to this campground three times and plan to go many, many more times. The setting is beautiful and close to the parkway. Overall the campground is very well cared for and the bathhouses are clean. We stayed in a deluxe cabin so we had running water and electricity. But we could easily stay in another cabin and been just as happy. The pool was awesome! The water was perfect for a dip on a hot day. The first time we stayed was in June, the second was later in the fall and the third was August. It's been fantastic every time. Phil, Stephani and Jack are so polite and gracious hosts. I've seen some other reviews where people were not happy about the wi-fi or not having cable. Honestly, we go to get away so not having cable is definitely not a negative. We want to be outside fishing, swimming or hiking. The wi-fi was enough to send and receive texts and calls which again was completely acceptable. It's 100% relaxing. It's a family campground so there were no loud parties and rowdy neighbors. The pond if fun for fishing, catch and release. The trails are fun, not for marathon training, simply to enjoy the outdoors. We found baby frogs which were so cute. But thankfully no snakes lol. Oh there is a store for all the things you may have forgotten, we highly recommend the mystic fire, it changes the colors of the flames for your fire. So cool! They also have gem mining and my son was not disappointed. He found many beautiful gems and crystals and had fun doing it. I can't say enough good about this KOA location. It's open, beautiful, relaxing and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a getaway.

Update: I uploaded the pics and for some reason it loaded sideways. I can't figure out how to change that or delete and reload so my apologies for that.
