Beautiful campground. Couldn't ask for a better campsite (#66). The park Ranger was absolutely amazing. I wish I could give more than 5 stars for customer service. She explained the grounds, recommended her favorite sites off of what we were looking for and was super friendly to talk with. They do security rounds in their vehicles, being accessible and watchful. Definitely worth the trip.

📖 About This Campground
What many consider to be the hidden gem of Blue Ridge Parkway campgrounds, Crabtree Falls Campground offers a quiet serenity that appeals to campers as well as wildlife. It is a magical place when mist hangs in the air, as coyote and deer tiptoe through and barred owls call out. Crabtree Falls, a spectacular 70-foot waterfall which is one of the most photographed in the area, is accessible from the campground.
The campground offers comfortable tent or RV camping, with the convenience of flush toilets, dump station, and drinking water. Grills/fire rings and picnic tables at each site create a perfect environment for family barbeques or late-night marshmallow roasting.
In addition to the 27 sites available for advance reservations, 54 campsites are available on a first come, first served basis. Availability of first come, first served sites cannot be tracked through Recreation.gov. These sites must be booked in person at the campground kiosk.

Very beautiful and very secluded. No power, but water and restrooms are very clean. Dump station is easy in and out. Great to visit the falls from here, you will need the rest after that hike! Must see, worth the hike. No "big rigs" spaces work best for 30-foot and smaller. Can park smaller RV (22-ft) in the tent camping sites. Over flow parking at gate. Hosts very helpful and right at the check in gate. They really keep the "drive through lookers" out, keeps it nice and quite. Hiking trails are beautiful. Deer and other critters everywhere! Would give this Park 5-stars! You cannot make reservations at this park, all sites are first come.
