Situated at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and bordering the Jefferson National Forest, Thunder BRidge has scenic, large, private tent sites and cabins in the woods for those who want to experience camping at its finest. Many of the sites border Elk Creek. Our RV sites are large, flat and at the edge of the forest in a well kept open green space. Our 100 acres was originally a camp built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the "30s and early '40s, then a boys' juvenile detention center and Big Brothers'/Big Sisters' camp, which closed in 2009. The tent sites and cabins are in the forest, away from the buildings out front, but you're free to walk around and check out the historic site. We'd like to share the camp with others and see it come back to life. All within a short driving distance are the Natural Bridge, wineries, breweries, Natural Bridge Zoo, Safari Park, Dinosaur Kingdom, Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, James River, historic Lexington, Devil's Marbleyard, Glenwood Horse Trail, swimming holes, etc. We have river access 2 miles up the road if you'd like to fish or put your kayak or canoe in. Truly, there is something nearby for everyone. We'd be happy to give you recommendations of things to see and do. If you are a star gazer you won't be disappointed by our dark sky.

RV Site 1

We really enjoyed the peaceful setting on Adam's land. Adam always answered the text immediately when we had questions and assisted us right away. We are new to RV camping and this was our first camp ground to visit. The bathroom and showers were clean and nicely painted 🎨 We would recommend this campground to anyone. Go ThunderBRidge!

Site 6 (aka Woodpecker 7)

Site 6 (Woodpecker 7) was nice. It was real close to the creek and you could hear it the whole time which was nice. The place was nice a secluded could barely hear other people. The host was nice and provided supplies when needed. All in all a great place to have a fun weekend with friends.
