Hurricane Campground

I almost hesitate to write a review because I'd like to keep this place to myself! This campground is by far our favorite. The sites are a good distance from each other, there is a shower and flush toilets, and we've always had wonderful campground hosts. There is a nice creek that runs through the campground with campsites on the creek. A bonus is access to trails without leaving the campground, including part of the Appalachian Trail. We have been coming here over 10 years and always had a great experience. In addition to trails at the site there are many trails and interest points within short drives from the campsite. They do not sell fire wood. Quite atmosphere

Great campground. Showers and bathroom were clean. The water in shower was lukewarm, but that's good enough. Weather in October in this area is perfect. Lots of hikers. The AT trail is w/in walking distance. Janeda and her husband( sorry I've forgotten his name) were so kind. Firewood was free. As much as you wanted. They are volunteers, and it's great to see people who want everyone to have a great time. The sites are private and quiet. Site 22 recommended for its privacy and closeness to bath house. All the site's are very private. The camp ground was very quiet. People really respect each other here.

We camped at Hurricane CG in late Sept. 2024. The campground is nestled into the deep hardwood forest of Virginia. Rhododendrons, hemlock trees, and others were all around. We had some rain but even without the rain it was pretty humid. Cell service can be found by driving toward Marion, about 15-20 minutes north. There are 2 restrooms with male/female sides, a flush toilet and a shower in each and a unisex vault toilet in the middle of the campground. Phil, the host, has been there for many years and did a great job of maintaining the place. If you like high mountains and long vistas this is not the place for you. But if you like quiet, peaceful, beautiful, off-the-grid serenity, you might give this place a try!

This area of VA is picturesque! The campground is off the beaten path, quiet, and well maintained. The creek is swift and singing. Lots of mature, tall timber. Enjoyed the trails that intersect the campground. Grab firewood before you check in as it’s a bit of a drive to little towns for wood. Sites along the creek are in a Flood Zone. I could definitely tell some could get quiet boggy in wet weather. We had dry weather and site 4 was perfection! Please note all sites past 20 are accessed by a couple of easy switchbacks in the road. Wasn’t expecting to see that elevation change within the campground. Not tough just unexpected. Lovely private forested sites up there.

I have been cross country couple of times, camped everywhere around and this campground really stands out! The distance between sites is great, the uniqueness of each spot is wonderful. Amazing under the canopy of great trees sites on one site are contrasted by campsites right on the creek. I feel asleep to a soft sounds of running water through the rocks. Also there's a hike to a small waterfall which is part of the Appalachian trail, so you can meet interesting hardcore hikers. Most bathrooms are outhouse type. But there's one or two nice clean one with a shower (hot!) T-mobile and Sprint had no service in the valley which I think is a plus! :D
