    Sarcasm-free, this is a charming spot. Maybe my favorite KoA. The mature tree cover is over most if not all sites, and despite the hills and area elevation, our site was perfectly level, and Mike helped us park in one try. The price for full hookups here wasn't much more that we've paid in state park campgrounds. It was a shame we couldn't stay longer. If you're passing through, the laundry and bathhouse are updated and clean, and the pool and gem sluice made it family-friendly. At the end of the day, we enjoyed quiet spots on the swing and dock by the fishing pond. The sunset, the smell of the hayfields across the park, and fish bobbing around the pond made this a perfect spot. If you're thru-hiking this would be a good clean up and recharge spot. If you're exploring Blue Ridge and Shenandoah, the is a great pit stop--and Blue Ridge is just a hop, skip, and a jump down the road.

    Beautiful place to visit!! We spent 3 nights and 3 days in Fancy Gap. You are surrounded by beautiful mountains. Take your binoculars and take in the views. Positively gorgeous!!

    We recently purchased a new RV and stayed at this KOA while driving from Florida to our home in Michigan. Never stayed here before and was so pleased we did. Situated at the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway, the setting was nicely wooded and hilly. Campsites were spacious and many had trees that offered some privacy from others. We had a pull through, full hookup, on a level gravel pad. Enjoyed our first campfire of the season, complete with s'mores which we purchased ingredients from the cute camp store. Owners were Covid responsive posting signs and requesting masks in store and common areas. Very clean everywhere and super friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to returning with our motorcycles next time to enjoy the Ridgeway.

    This was one of my most favourite KOAs ever! It is situated right off of the Blueridge parkway and very near the interstate- the location is very convenient! The KOA is clean and very well-kept! The tent sites were large and grassy (which is SO much better than sleeping on gravel tent sites). The owners were extremely kind and talkative! I have nothing bad to say! It was one of the most relaxing night's I had had in a while!

    Great experience from the moment we towed in. Everyone was super helpful and friendly. They escorted us and helped us back in to our site. We had site #61. Full hook ups/ back in with a fire pit and a picnic table. Campsite was full the whole weekend. Campground was clean and lots to do. Very dog friendly as there were lots of pups. They have a pond that you can fish, pool (when in season), a arcade/club house, and corn horn. Friday night they were making pulled pork Sandwiches and delivering them to your site. Every night they make pizza and deliver also to your site. Lots to do nearby and at the front desk they have a list of activities. We enjoyed the winery with an October festival going on. Also stopped and saw the gorgeous Maybry mill. Or if your looking to relax this campground is perfect. Signal was fine for our phones but they do have WiFi if ya need it. This is one of our favorite KOA's to date. Next time we will get one of the 3 premium site with a fenced in dog yard for the pups or a site.

    The experience started with a warm and welcoming check-in. We were escorted up the mountain to our site on the 6th level of the step-terraced park. The arrangement of sites on the terraces creates the appearance of space and less crowding. When we inquired about firewood the staff escort volunteered to get and deliver it. We offered a tip, which was politely refused, but requested we put it in the kids camp charity jar when we go to the office. The RV park itself is beautifully maintained and customer friendly. Friday evenings are barbecue night and supposed to be great, but the tickets were sold out when we arrived.... so no first hand experience. Saturday started with free pancakes ( donations to the charity accepted) for breakfast and a free ice cream social in the evening- again donations accepted. The park is a very short 1/4 mile off mile marker 199.5 on the blue ridge parkway. We caught a concert at the blue ridge music center on Saturday night (m# 213 on brp) and visited Mabrey Mill (m# 176). This is a great stop over if traveling the blue ridge parkway.

    Spacious clean camp site!

    My FAVORITE KOA! We totally lucked into this KOA while traveling through on our way home today. We will be coming back to this serene, spacious, and actual camping kind of campground! The staff couldn't have been more wonderful to us! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, landscaped, but not so overdone that it has lost the naturalized feel. Love having all the amenities, but in a lovely wooded setting!

    We stayed one night on our way through, pretty location. Clean restrooms and part of our group used a cabin which was clean and cute.

    I know that a campground is more than just clean, well maintained bathrooms and showers, but this…read moreplace 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.

    This review is for one of the 8 motel rooms. If you are looking for a comfort level-up from…read morecamping, 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.

God bless you and I hope the sun stays shining for you.

    We have been staying at Mtn River for about 3 years now and it's become 'home away from home'…read more You have your choice of river or mountainside sites. We prefer the river sites personally for the views & fishing. The campground owners are fantastic people who've become friends. They live on site and take great pride in the property. The property is always impeccable. They are always working. Such a gorgeous place!! The pond is in the center of the property - yes you can fish (catch & release). Areas setup with hammocks, corn hole, seating, etc. The new playground has been a big hit! Oh, and there's also a dog park area. The bathhouses are super clean and have air conditioning. The laundry room is brand new with great units and also A/C. They incorporated additional activities this year over at the pavilion which our family has loved! Bingo, tie-dye t-shirts, food trucks, live music, and more! Our grandson loves to join us. Lots of kids and a great area for them to all play. Tubing the river is always a fun treat! You can bring your own tubes or rent from the campground. The camp store has expanded and features a great mix of items - t-shirts, hats, hoodies, koozies, and more. As well as local jams, rubs, and other treats. They're in the process of building a new office/camp store so we're excited to see this complete. We have a 40' fifth wheel. No problems every getting in. They accommodate all size rigs. All sites have a concrete pad, fire pit and very nice large picnic table. Sites are spacious and do not feel cramped like we've experienced at other campgrounds. Wi-Fi is generally pretty good. We've been able to work remote on some of our trips. We even had phone service our last trip (AT&T)! Lots to do in the area! Hiking, Linville Winery (yum!), Linville Caverns, Grandfather Mtn and so many other great places. The office staff can certainly provide plenty of recommendations, too. There are 2 grocery stores in town about 15min away. There's also a local dollar store about 5min away. We cannot say enough good things about MRFC. We've met some great campers there who we now call friends. We truly love this place and already have bookings for next year!
