Misty Mountain Camp Resort

This campground is just the right size. Not too big, not too little. Per usual, the spots are fairly close together, but if you look at the map there are some spots that feel less “close”. We chose site 70 which is in the upper portion. It is on an end and looks out over the mountain which is very nice. Also has a good patch of grass for pets late night outings.

The campground is super clean and there is a lot to do in the summer, I am sure. We are here in January so it is more quiet, but we like that.

If you are looking for more quiet, camp in the upper section. We are in a 32 foot camper with a tow behind Jeep and had no problems getting up here.

We will definitely return!

Camped in a 32' Class A.

- Drive to the campground. Very easy. Right off 64. The main road is easy to navigate.
- Interior roads. Paved for the most part. The lower sites near the front of the campground are a lot easier to get to than up top. (Hairpin turn that I would not be brave enough try.) If you have a larger rig, recommend staying down below.
- Site. VIP 2 was easy to pull into and pull out. The sewer hook ups could be placed in better positions. (Site 3's sewer was about a foot away from our picnic table area. Had to move the table to the front of the site.) If you are in an upper site, be aware that the path that led to the lower area has washed out and you have to walk to road to get to the main area.
- During our stay. There were many great activities for the kids. They enjoyed the jumping pillow and playground. There is fishing on site too, and a gem mine if you're into that sort of thing. Most weekends during the season, they had many planned activities. They often have bands or something going on. The pool is small, but the kids always enjoy it. There is a good size dog park located near the main area.
- Camp store. The camp store is well stocked and has everything you need. Everyone that works there is super friendly.
- Seeing the sites. Blue Mountain Brewery is right up the street, as well as a few wineries in the area. They have a shuttle bus available, but the price is for the whole bus, not per seat. So unless you have a large group for brewery / winery tours, the price point isn't worth it in my opinion.

Overall, one of our go to campgrounds for going to the mountains. It is quiet and relaxing. And the price is reasonable no matter the time of year.

We stayed for a week visiting friends In Charlottesville. The sites were great, good things for the kids to do on site, Friday night concerts and bonfires on the green for the whole family. A stones throw from dozens of breweries and wineries - check out blue mountain brewery down the road for some amazing wings pizza and beer. Will definitely be back!

A group of us stayed at Misty Mountain August 12-17, 2020 based on a friends recommendation as it was close to wineries, breweries, and trails. We all stayed on the lower section and sites 31 and 32 are on the creek and were separated by a row of shrubs. The first day we were able to sit in the creek and enjoy the water but after some heavy rains that option was no longer viable as the water would have swept you away. We did lose power and water for a couple of hours one evening/night after a close lightning strike but came back on about 3am. The lower bath house was great as there were 5 private baths that were clean. Laundry is also on site next to the bath house. The kids loved the jump pad. Site V1 and V9 were full hookup but it was not ideal to have the neighbors sewer drain and power box directly next to you picnic table. Almost everything was open even with covid happening right now. The park was empty during the week and sold out on the weekends so plan your stay accordingly based on what you're looking to do. We will return to this campground probably yearly as it is in a prime location to see just about everything to include Breweries, Wineries, Appalachian Trail, Skyline Drive, Humpback rocks, Town of Crozet, and even a peach/apple orchard that is short drive from the park.

First things first. This is the closest RV park to all the wineries and breweries in Afton. It’s about 15 minutes to Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway where there is an abundance of hiking options. Staff was efficient but I wouldn’t say overly friendly. The interior roads are paved and the sites are gravel. Our pull through site was long enough for the MH and toad and was pretty level. The pull thru sites on the lower lever are very close together. On top of that, the sewer and utilities are horrible placed with your neighbor’s sewer right by your picnic table (which we moved as far away as we could). We fully expected this park to cater more to adults considering the proximity to wineries; however, it is very family oriented. Many of their normally planned activities didn’t take place due COVID. They did have entertainment on Friday night and bonfires on Friday and Saturday nights. They have an inflated jump pad, a pool, playgrounds, a very popular creek, fishing in a small pond, and probably other things. There were too many kids (running rampant through anyone’s campsite), too many barking dogs, and partying going on into the night. The WII FI was terrible, and our Verizon hot spot worked erratically despite having 4g and 2 bars. Directv worked fine in our site but it wouldn’t in all. We were parked behind the office so there was not much road noise just the occasional sirens. The road noise is actually worse up on the top level. We lost water pressure completely a few times. Because we love this area and the wineries, we will probably return but when the kids are back in school.
