Lynchburg Campground Review
KOA Campground, Lynchburg, Virginia
We recently had a chance to get away and go camping for 3 nights. We decided that we didn’t want to drive farther than about 2 hours, this is mainly due to gas costs while hauling our travel trailer. I have an app. on my phone which shows a map of RV campgrounds all over the United States, it’s called “Park Advisor”(RV Parks & Campgrounds), it can be downloaded from Google play. It really comes in handy! I have used it while traveling out of state too! We usually like to go to KOA Campgrounds because they are for the most part, nice & clean places, with easy drive-thru sites. We have the KOA Kard which gives us 10% off of camping fees. The Lynchburg, Virginia area sounded interesting to us and it’s close to the Blue Ridge Parkway so that’s what we chose! The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the most beautiful drives in North Carolina & Virginia! We chose Lynchburg/Blue Ridge Parkway KOA.

It’s very easy to look up the campsites online and see what’s available for certain dates, then I called to confirm and paid the downpayment, which was equal to one night’s stay. I decided it was a good opportunity to purchase the KOA Value Kard, which costs $30 for the year and gives us 10% off on camping fees as well as other perks. We packed up the camper, loaded our dog(Poppie) in the truck, and headed down the road. Check-in was 2:00 and we arrived at about 2:45. It always takes longer when hauling our camper. It was an easy drive for us! The campground is actually about 20 miles northwest of Lynchburg, very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, in Monroe, Virginia. Our first impression was that it was smaller than some other KOA campgrounds(which is good) and had lots of trees, which we love! Shaded sites can make a BIG difference on hot summer days!
