Fort Chiswell RV Park

The advertised serenity is reserved for permanent and semi permanent campers in the back of the grounds. This is basically a park where Class A's and big rigs pull in, stay the night and leave early the next day. Not much to do in the vicinity. Im sticking it out- paid my money and so I'm taking advantage of looking at upscale motorhomes comfortably from my chair. Better than an rv show!

I couldn’t stand another night in Walmart traveling from Texas to PA, so I found this campground. Loved it. Right off 81. Gravel sites, some concrete pads. Perfect pull-through for our 40 foot Phaeton. Friendly staff. Great little walking trails, pond, and stream. Pet friendly. Cell service was decent but not perfect on both AT&T and Verizon, but I was able to work a few hours before shoving off by noon.

This park is about ½ mile from I 81 in a country setting with grazing cows. The office is at the back of the park which is different. Just pass the RV sites and it will be straight ahead. Check-in was quick, easy and friendly. We circled around the bath house to get back to our site. The roads and sites are gravel. Most sites are pull thru and some have concrete pads. Our pad was large enough for the RV but not the tow vehicle. The concrete pad was almost dead on level. Sites are close with a strip of grass between. WII FI worked ok when we got there at 3PM but became useless by 7PM. Directv locked on in our site with no trees. Some sites have trees which may be a problem. Verizon was 4g 4bars. There are some long term RVs but the sites appeared well kept. It’s not the prettiest park in the winter but maybe more eye pleasing when the trees have leaves. It is fairly quiet with the occasional drone of a tractor trailer from the I-81. We would stay here again.

Like many visitors, we just stayed overnight. Since it's a pretty big park and caters to overnight stops, and it was mid-October, we almost didn't make a reservation but it's a good thing we did! The park was full by early evening. The section of pull-throughs we were in had very tight sites, fine for overnight but not much more than that. Another section had sites that looked almost twice as wide. Our site also had a steep incline at the beginning, then a level concrete pad for our motorhome, then uphill again at the the end. There's a nice grassy field for walking dogs. Both Verizon and AT&T worked well. We'd definitely stay again for an overnight stop, or maybe a longer visit in one of the wider sites.

We spent just one night at Fort Chiswell RV Park on our way from Shenandoah to the Great Smoky Mountains. This park has a lot going for it – clean, convenient, decent sites, and nice amenities. While some sites offer more shade than others, they are all adequately sized, level, with decent separation. Each site has a picnic table, full hook-ups, and cable TV. Parking sites vary between grass, gravel and concrete pads.

There is an office/store that also sells propane, a large grassy area and playground for the kids, heated pool, small pond, picnic shelter, dump station, large clean restrooms and showers, and laundry facility with hot water. Lots of area for walking – hike to the top of hill for views of the neighboring farms and cow pastures. Although it is convenient to I81/77, the park is sheltered from the freeway by a large hill so you can barely hear any traffic noise at all.

We had 4 bars of Verizon 4G unboosted, the park also has free WiFi which is throttled, but worked fine for our needs.

We are still traveling North towards our September destination in Shenandoah National Park. We stopped here due to a cancellation at another park that was in a flood area, and heavy storms were forecasted. This place has a lot of traffic, many RVers come here, it's right off I-81, and close to stores and restaurants. We like that it has Laundry, Good Sam discount, Propane filling station, they even have an RV doctor that does on location fixes. The place has a pool, and it's located between two rolling hills with farmlands. Many birds on site, every site was level, with at least one tree for shade, and had full hook-ups including cable. The Wi-Fi was good at times, but during night hours very spotty. We will definitely camp here again, we found it very relaxing, and close to the "New River Trail" for those who love to bike or hike. There is a large gas station catering to truckers at the exit of I-81 with truck wash, Wendy's, and Denny's, and Certified weight scales. The closest supermarket (Walmart) is 10 miles from the campground, there is also a Petco for those of us with pets. Other than the limited sights, closeness to the highway, and spotty Wi-Fi this place is great.

Cleanest, nicest restrooms and showers (with A/C!) music and shiny floors! Pull through level gravel site with a tree and grass between each site giving partial shade. The pool is a welcome delight after a travel day and our Gaylord (a cocker) loved the property. Hundreds of goats came wondering over the hill in the early day light hours in the close adjoining field! A very friendly relaxing stay in a very well run and maintained property.
