Blue Ridge Parkway Rocky Knob Information Center — Hotel in Stuart

I hesitate to write this review since I have always absolutely loved the Blue Ridge Parkway. The scenery is breathtaking, and one of the most peaceful places you will ever find. So, it saddens me greatly to see its neglect - not only by public disinterest, but by the National Park Service. The road is in disrepair with holes and broken pavement. On our last visit (May 20, 2018) the right-of-way had not been mowed in quite some time, and grass was knee high (or higher). Sadly, the campground was no different. There were a handful of campers who, in order to walk from their unit to the picnic table, would've had to wade through tall grass.

True it was Wednesday and it was raining although it quit in the evening but still it was July with a large 4 day festival nearby so where...

I thought this was a really cool campground. It has a rolling topography which is more interesting than a flat campground. My tent site was pretty good size and backed up to the woods. There were stone steps from the parking paddock down to the level tent site, picnic table and fire pit. Bathrooms were nice. Ranger was very polite and professional. Location on Blue Ridge Parkway was great. Stop at Tuggles Restaurant just north of the campground to get your food, ice and drinks before going into the campground. ...
