Glen Maury Park Campground

This city-run campground was a great value. $17.50 per night plus tax with Passport America, good for 3 nights. The spaces were nice and big. Bathhouse was clean and warm with large shower stalls. Hiking trails, tennis courts, picnic areas, and close to the town of Buena Vista. Decent campground Wi-Fi, practically no cell service with T-Mobile/MetroPCS, no TV channels with antenna.

We stopped here for a unplanned last minute one night stay. We wanted to check out Natural Bridge but didn't want to fork out the cash for the parks nearby. We found this park and didn't have high hopes but were pleasantly surprised with the very friendly informative staff, the huge spaces, and of course the price! (price was with Passport America). The staff made us feel welcome and they have a very relaxed way of doing things, like no check in or check out time, park where you want and no reservations. You can call ahead and find out how busy it is before arriving though. They have ice and a small ice cream shop but we didn't check it out on our stay. It is all grass parking and is basically all open. Beware of flying foul balls from the baseball field but we parked at the last spot down by the creek and never had any issues. There are electric and water connections and sewer dump is by the office with easy in and easy out. Quiet and family friendly, it even has a small skate park and playground. We didn't use the bathhouse so can't comment in that. Wifi worked great but didn't have very good over the air channels. We didn't set up the satellite because we were leaving early the next morning but I can't imagine having any issues, trees only line the sides of the park. There are some curvy roads when coming in from the west and low clearances from the north but still easy to get to from the highway and manageable if you pay attention. Very pleased with our stay and will be back when in the area!

We stopped here on our way to Maine. It is conveniently located off I-81 in lovely Buena Vista, VA.
The staff is very friendly and laid back. I had called ahead about reservations and was told not to worry.
We showed up on a Friday late afternoon and signed in at the office. $28 for a site with water and electric (20, 30, 50) .
After registering we drove into the camping area, which is a huge flat grassy field, and picked a spot near a hookup box. Simple.
Very little leveling was required and I didn't even have to unhook the trailer from our car.
There are some partly shady spots near the river and the tree line on the far side of the field, but we were in the open.
There were a lot of campers but it was still very quiet and nice.
The bathhouse was clean and well maintained, although we used our own facilities due to Covid, but I wouldn't have worried about using the bathrooms as they were clean and nearly deserted.
It would be a great base from which to explore the area, but for us it was a pleasant stopover in our journey.
Decent cellphone coverage on Verizon.
Any size rig will find a spot.

Rate reflects a PA discount that can be applied for all nights stayed. First come, first served.

This is a large, green, level, open field with electric (30A/50A) and water hookups dispersed throughout. The scenery was lovely and we thoroughly appreciated moonrises over the mountains.

We rolled in early in the week during the annual 'Guy's Jam' bluegrass gathering (woops). Therefore, we did experience what we assume was a much busier camping area than typical. Management here is pretty poor. The woman working in the office is cantankerous and not forthcoming with information. We were never told that there was an upper campground area (which we likely would have tootled up to based on the festival going on). Instead, we wiggled into a spot behind the baseball field with 50A and water hookups. The ground was hard enough that we weren't too concerned about sinking in/rain.

On the 3rd day of our stay, a group of locals arrived with 2 trailers, wriggled (literally) into the non-space between our rig and our neighbors, and hooked into the 30A breaker on the pedestal we were using 50A on. All weekend we got to step out of our front door into our new neighbors sitting area. The strangest part was that these new neighbors were NOT part of Guy's Jam, but just locals looking to go 'camping'... with 20 of their closest friends. It was the most awkward camping setup we've 'enjoyed' yet...

The only other detractions from this camping area is that it is buggy (and ticky) and there is a train nearby. There also isn't much happening in town, but there are a few places to eat.

Some other perks.. there is an ice cream shop right on site! Open Tues - Sat. Trails wind from the Lower camping area to the Upper area.

Verizon and AT&T data were solidly usable, although some congestion occurred Friday and Saturday when the shindig was in full swing.

Agree with other review. Easy registration and easy set up in pull through site, overlooking mountains and river. All size rigs. Friendly staff and host. $19 with Golden Access Pass. Quiet, peaceful, pretty.

We camped here for two nights in October of 2022 as we headed S from Maine to NC. Pretty much what everyone else has said covers it. Checked in at the office and was told to just back in anywhere. We picked a site along the "river" (not that you could see it, but it meant no one was behind us) that had power and water close. Not super level, but fine. Pretty view behind & of the cool building to the East. Lots of families and Halloween decorations so that was fun! Dump station on the way out & pleasant host.

HORRIBLE Went last summer it was bad. Poor electric & water sites narrow campers on top of each other. Group of people camping in center partied all weekend. Nothing was done. Never saw camp host, was told they were gone most weekends and if they are there they go to bed early, so anything can go on. Nothing to do! Pay extra for bands & pool. Was told it would be better this year. But came back again and it is all tore up! Can't camp in the reg campground unless you want to camp without water electric or sewer. Last yr we were told they would be installing sewer, but they're only redoing the water and electric, no sewer. They do have a dump station you can use. Have upper campground, go up steep curvy narrow road, horrible for rvs, More for tiny campers or tents, But on top of all this, they Jacked prices way up for this year! Hateful rude lady with short curly hair (wish I had gotten her name) in office on weekends. After how she talked to us, we wouldn't stay and won't go back. so be forwarned! We did drive our car through the available camping area, small and tight, difficult to navigate a big rig. Very few campers there. We have been coming a couple times a year, esp for events, and have made a lot of friend with locals that camp there all season. Only saw 1, several have sold their campers and others are camping elsewere. Its a shame they are letting the campground go down so much and losing a lot of business! For what they're now charging, you can pay a little more and get a high quality campground with things to do. Here there are no activities, no game room, outdated pool you pay extra for. They have a lot of rules that aren't enforced. Guess this place is ideal for just someone traveling and pull in at night and leave early the next morning. Wifi is sketchy, we could never get on it. Nice bathroom shower but every time we went in they weren't clean.
