Camping in Virginia
136 places to stay, each with its nearest town and where our information comes from.
Virginia has wild ponies in two places, and you can camp near both. On the coast, Chincoteague is the gateway to Assateague, where the ponies graze the marsh and walk the beach. In the far southwest, the campgrounds near Troutdale, Grindstone and Hurricane among them, sit below Grayson Highlands, where a different herd wanders the open balds near Mount Rogers.
In between, Front Royal is the north end of Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park. The Forest Service campgrounds around Hot Springs ring Lake Moomaw in the George Washington National Forest. Virginia Beach has First Landing State Park and a cluster of RV parks near the ocean, and Philpott Lake near Bassett has quiet Corps campgrounds.

A listing is a lead, not a promise. These are places we know about, not places we have confirmed you can sleep tonight. Rules, closures, seasons and fees change, and forest roads and passes close for snow. Check signs and local rules before you commit to a night somewhere, and tell us when something is wrong.
