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.

Site 3 (aka Butterfly 1)
Screened in Cabin was Luxurious
A perfect spot during our rainy stay. Screened in cabin was so peaceful and cool. The creek rose significantly due to the consistent rain and lulled us to sleep. Bathhouse was very clean and hot water was plentiful! Wi-Fi was not reached to our cabin but we like it that way! Signal was strong in bathhouse area. Very short walk from our site. Will definitely be back!

Site 2 (aka Bunny 3)
This is our first camping trip with our kids and it was a winner! We truly enjoyed this camp site! Very nice and very clean. It has all of the amenities that we needed for camping. The bunny 3 was close to the bathroom and pavillion. We can’t wait to come back! The owner is very responsive and very helpful. Thank you for having us!

RV Site 1
Great Spot, will return!
Adam’s campsite and property were great. Lots of area to explore and roads to walk. The site was great and having a dump station was a great benefit too. Great space and we will certainly be back! Adam met us as we arrived and made sure we were all set and made sure we had everything we needed.

Site 8 (aka Fox 2)
The campsite was well maintained and far enough from other campers. Close to hiking trails and the host Adam was very accommodating and responded to my emails in a timely manner.
