More campsites reopening along the Blue Ridge Parkway this Friday

BLOWING ROCK, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Good news for campers! Starting this Friday, August 15, more than 30 campsites in Loop A of Julian Price Campground will officially reopen.

Located at milepost 297, officials with the Blue Ridge Parkway said this popular campground is ready just in time for late-summer and fall adventures.

Reservations are required this season. You can book your spot at recreation.gov. The comfort station in Loop A will be open, but officials said the shower building is still out of service.

This partial reopening is thanks to the hard work of arborist crews from Rocky Mountain and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks, along with Blue Ridge Parkway staff and volunteers, who spent months clearing debris and removing hazard trees, officials said.

Other Blue Ridge Parkway campgrounds are also open:

  • Otter Creek Campground: Milepost 60.9, near Lynchburg, VA
  • Peaks of Otter Campground: Milepost 85.9, near Bedford, VA
  • Rocky Knob Campground: Milepost 167.1, near Meadows of Dan, VA
  • Doughton Park Campground: Milepost 239.2, near Sparta, NC
  • Mount Pisgah Campground: Milepost 408.8, near Canton and Brevard, NC

Parkway officials said Price Lake Trail is open, but hikers should use caution as some trails still have debris, washouts, or damaged bridges from past storms.
