A camping trip to Smith Mountain Lake is a wonderful way to enjoy the beauty, adventure, and peacefulness of Virginia's Blue Ridge.

With a Virginia State Park situated along Virginia's second largest lake, the entire family will enjoy pitching the tent or setting up the RV at Smith Mountain Lake.

The lake also offers over 500 miles of shoreline and countless opportunities for great fishing, kayaking, sailing, tubing, hiking and much more.

A full-service bathhouse is located at the campground for hot showers and a wash sink for any dishes. Swimming at the park and using the boat launch is complimentary for those camping in the park.

The campground is typically open from March 1 through the first Monday in December, and recommendations are strongly encouraged during peak season, particularly during summer and fall.
