I know that a campground is more than just clean, well maintained bathrooms and showers, but this place sets the bar in that critically important area. They offer several individual bathrooms, all with their own private showers. Spotlessly clean, too! As for the RV spots, there aren't many, and they're not very private, but that's okay for a night. The cabins are clean and comfortable, however they have no running water, so you'll be enjoying the aforementioned restrooms and showers. Beautiful setting, with a stunning sunset view. They also offer WiFi, which is something of a rarity along the Blue Ridge Parkway. read more

This review is for one of the 8 motel rooms. If you are looking for a comfort level-up from camping, but still feel like you are camping, this is the place for you. I decided on the motel based on Yelp reviews and because we were not camping but on our way to Washington DC, and Fancy Gap was the perfect place to stop on the way. I also wanted a private bathroom, so I did not choose a cabin. This campground/cabins/motel is located about 6 miles off of Interstate 77, with the Blue Ridge Parkway within view and the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background. The motel is located up a quite steep gravel hill maybe about 1/4 mile from the campground and cabins, so it was much quieter than the campground area, which had quite a few noisy kids. The motel room was tiny (basically like a cabin but with a shower just large enough to stand in, toilet and sink) and very clean. We did see 2 spiders, but that is to be expected in the woody, outdoor setting. I appreciated the ample-sized refrigerator with a little freezer and microwave, but there was no table, chair, or even beside table in the room, so we had to eat at the picnic table (with a fire pit next to it), situated on the steep hill. It is a beautiful woods-surrounded setting, but hard to balance perched on the hill, pretty buggy, and would have not worked well if it had been raining. We enjoyed viewing the sunset and mountains in the distance while sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch, sipping green tea and hot chocolate provided by the motel. It was quite warm during the June day, but in the evening, it got quite chilly. The A/C worked well as did the heater at night, so we were comfortable. The queen bed was neither comfortable nor uncomfortable. My son said the futon was pretty comfy, but we had to bring our own bedding for it, or we would have had to pay extra. The biggest negative about this motel are the extremely thin walls--thankfully the people next door settled down about the same time we did because it sounded like we had roommates with only thin walls and locked connecting door separating us, and i felt bad every time the floor loudly creaked when I got up in the night and early morning. Also, we were looking forward to walking the wooded trails around the campground, but they were not well-maintained and overgrown, so our walk was pretty short. We did enjoy a short walk through their apple orchard. read more

We stayed here by passing through the Blue Ridge Parkway and we truly enjoyed ourselves. clean bathrooms, nice terrace on our site, the blackberries and our fantastic neighbors made this campsite unforgettable for us! oh, and the lack of light pollution gave us the opportunity of unbelievable stargazing. thank you! read more

Very quiet and comfy place to stay if you are doing the parkway. Restaurants are close by if needed and they have a lot of amenities available in the office. We stayed in the motel and had plenty of room for my wife, myself and the dogs. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a stopping point on the parkway. Owners are super nice and answer any questions you may have. Will definitely be back if we are in the area again. read more

Beautiful campground. We were just passing through so we only stopped for one night but after we saw the campground we wished we would have reserved for several nights. Friendly staff and clean campground. read more

My husband and I just finished our first RV trip ever. We were in a rental RV and are total newbies. The owners couldn't have been nicer or more helpful! The campground is well maintained and super easy to get in and out of. Highly recommend this area for a visit, as the Blue Ridge Mountains in this area are beautiful, and if you are looking to meet two of the nicest people ever, Fancy Gap Cabins and RV park is the place to go. read more

We had a wonderful 3 night 4 day stay at Fancy Gap Cabin and campgrounds. Like many of the the reviews have said, the grounds are kept exceptionally clean and honestly it was the least buggy place I've ever camped in my life I don't think any of us got bitten in the 3 nights we stayed. The bathrooms are always clean and so are the showers. The owners bring by fresh firewood and charge it to your account if you want it which is so convenient! The owners are extremely friendly and welcoming. I can't express that enough! We were worried traveling to an unknown area not knowing if we would feel welcomed but every single camper and the owners were so friendly and kind. Many of the campers that left before us gave us the firewood they weren't using! Very family friendly as well! As soon as we arrived the owners offered my 3 year old some free icecream for Independence Day and gave her some little fireworks (sparkler things). We had a great time cooking at camp and traveling to nearby parks! I also forgot to mention I'm 32 weeks pregnant and slept extremely comfortably on the beds and the bathhouse was close enough to the cabins that I was able to run to the bathroom a million times without being too put out the sheets, linens, coffee pot and fridge were also very clean. The cabin smelled clean and nice as well. There's also a laundry center where you can wash clothes and the little store they have on sight is great for book swaps and buying things you may have forgotten:) we also loved the little vintage soda machine out front of the store for $1.00. We rate our stay 10/10!! read more

beautiful campground very well maintained. The owner was very friendly & made us feel very welcomed. stayed 2 nights in our fifth wheel, would definitely stay again! read more

Our family stayed in one of the cabins at a halfway point in the way to OBX. It was the perfect amount of off the highway to have a nice isolated evening but close enough to the highway that we could jump back on in no time. The cabin was beautiful and sat next to a peach orchard. There was a really nice lawn space behind the cabin with a picnic table and fire ring. Two Adirondack chairs were a nice addition for a lovely evening sitting outside. Inside there was both a bee and futon for up to 4 sleepers. The bath house was well maintained and smelled great! Everything was in great condition. We will definitely stay here again. read more

Great campground on the blue ridge parkway. Super friendly owners. Some fun trees. Tent camp sites were closer together than I expected, but no biggie. Showers and bathrooms were very clean read more

Throughly enjoyed this place for my recent weekday getaway. Accommodations were perfectly maintained, clean and the hospitality was perfect. Right on the Parkway for easy access to local attractions and super convenient to I-77. A fantastic Eden in the southern Virginia mountains. read more

Outstanding location right off the Blue Ridge Parkway and interstate 77. Quiet and very well maintained. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay there.

Wonderful Stay! This is our 3rd stay at this campground but the first time in writing a review. The campground has a variety of camping options, tent, cabin, motel and RV full hookups. This is favorite spot for us. We have been traveling around the US now for 3 years. I prefer smaller campgrounds with all the amenities and this one matches everything on my list. The campground is very clean with grassy hills and beautiful views. The Blue Ridge Parkway scenic overlooks are within easy walking distance and the foliage is amazing, so green with bountiful wildflowers everywhere. Sites are gravel side by side and surrounded by woods and grass meadows. It is quiet and peaceful and very pet friendly! We'll definitely be back!! read more

This campground has direct access to the Blue Ridge Parkway at about mile marker 202, 3 miles off of exit 8 on i77. Wonderful place to camp! Well maintained, clean, owners live on site. Sunsets are spectacular! read more

Stayed Sept. 2 - Sept 8, 2019. Some of the nicest, friendliest hosts I have ever experienced. Campsites very clean and level and you are not stacked in close together. Cable was the best reception I have ever experienced in a campground. Fire pits were very nice. They also deliver firewood, pizza and BBQ to your campsite! The bathrooms/showers were spotless! Loved getting "Flocked" with the flamingos! Donations to to Kids Camp (may be called something else). It is for kids with cancer to go to camp. Definitely on our list of places to return!!! read more

This is a great place to get away from it all. Has Wi-Fi cabins, tents , motel and RV spots and bathroom with shower s for those staying in cabins and tents. Owners are friendly and keep the place looking great. read more

We stayed at The campgrounds at Fancy Gap for a single night in our travels southbound. The area is very pretty, super quiet and peaceful. Funny, the area gets super thick fog super fast which is kinda freaky but very cool. The gravel site with pretty level and the parking was easy to maneuver. There didn't seem like much to do there but that's ok, we're here to relax! read more

Fancy Gap Cabins was a Quiet Stay. Except for the Wind that came Roaring my 2nd Night Stay. Not many people. No bugs Beautiful View, Clean Property. A Great Opportunity to get away from Technology and the World at large. Nice Owners -Very Hospitable read more

This would be a great place for a group of campers. Spots was level and good gravel base. There was nice trails but didn't get to check them out except for the weather. Did not check out the showers although everything looked fresh and clean. More of a resort than a campground Try it you'll like it read more

Very nice, clean and well maintained campground. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back here again.

Riding the blue ridge parkway on a motorcycle and we opted for a cabin due to impending weather. Awesome little cabins! Lots of windows for airflow, coffee machine, microwave, mini fridge, futon and a couple shelves. Strong overhead fan and a great deck for sitting outside. Super comfy beds with linens provided. Immaculate bathrooms and showers (personal toilets and showers in each locked room). Owners live on site and are very friendly so showing up later in the day as a walk on wasn't an issue at all. Don't bother even going into Fancy Gap, stop here! read more

Camped here twice with a travel trailer. This is a beautiful place for the real camp experience & enjoying nature & quiet time. Seems like there is always a nice breeze. The bath rooms are private and CLEAN. Beautiful trees & orchards surround the place. The owners are on site and are very helpful & friendly. If you are looking for a KOA type experience with campers packed in you will be surprised at your privacy here. We highly recommend this small jewel on the Blue Ridge. read more

My family of 5 stayed at this campground for my sons 3rd birthday. The owners were so gracious. They allowed family members from the area to visit. The bathhouse was the cleanest I have ever seen. I loved the way they were set up. Basically individual bathrooms that allowed enough space to bring children in for a scrub. Another thing I consider very important is the fact they have a desire to be as green as possible. Amazing privately owned/operated facility. Be careful not to confuse this gem of a place with other campgrounds. One must travel a little past mile marker 202 on the parkway. It's amazing. read more

I have just returned from the most amazing weekend at Fancy Gap Cabins and Campground. We pulled our travel trailer up from Raleigh. I77 makes it an easy and safe tow up to the blue ridge parkway at 3000 ft. Upon arriving you realize this is a small campground on a huge property. Everything is spaced just right to be convenient yet preserving privacy for everyone. The Cabins line the ridge by the orchards, the tent camping is secluded along the tree line and the hotel is on the far corner. We proceeded to the RV area. It's very nicely maintained with a picnic table and fire ring. Each site has electric , water and sewer. The bath houses are a collection of private rooms each with a toilet, sink and shower. Plenty of room to change. They are immaculate. No bugs, clean, and plenty of hot water. Was surprised to find wifi in this remote location and it was adequate for our needs and very handy as we had no cell service. My Skype calls worked just fine. We had a beautiful sunset one night. If you are a star gazer, the light pollution is really low and the sky was on fire. Beautiful. Fancy Gap is a small town. I mean very small. We found all the necessities. Hillsville is a gorgeous town only a few miles away. If you need something more substantial, Galax and Mt. Airy are not far. We had our two dogs with us as did many other campers. I'm always worried my dogs will act up and be a nuisance. However, they made friends with the neighbors and we did "pack walks" around the property and trails. It is very quiet at night and so peaceful around a campfire. They are dog friendly here, but do keep a close watch on the basic rules of leashes and potty clean up to ensure it's fun for everyone. If you like cider and or mead tasting there are a number nearby. The music center is just down the BRP going south and Mabry's mill is just the north. I'm not sure how are visit could have been much better. My only complaint was with the thunderstorm that rolled thru at 3am. You won't regret it. read more

Very friendly. Beautiful location. Water, electric, and dump on the parking spot. Internet. Five private locking bathrooms (shower, sink, and toilet) are immaculate and roomy. Passport America members. Fairly centrally located to Mount Airy, Fancy Gap, and Galax. read more

My husband and I have stayed here twice now and each time it has been amazing. My parents live in Cana and it is by far the best place to stay. We have satyed in local hotels as well, being in our 30's we prefer that to a cabin, but the cabin had everything we need and more. The cabins offer a beautiful view, clean sleeping, and very peaceful sleep. We have stayed in a small cabin that had a small breakfast table with minimal kitchen, and we have stayed in a larger one with full kitchen and living room space. We loved them both. Would recommend this place to families and couples. read more
