The campground, one of 11 in the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area,
is composed of two loops, Chipmunk Circle and Beaver Flat, with a
playground in between. The campsites are secluded and private; some are
nestled in Rhododendrun groves. Chipmunk Circle seems to have larger
parking aprons, while Beaver Flat might be a little more tent-friendly.
There are numerous little streams and creeks crisscrossing both loops
and the sound of running water can be heard throughout. There are a
few spots were wadding is possible. Nestled between two mountains, the
campground enjoys ample shade and a lush forest environment of hemlock,
wild Magnolia, pines and a variety of shrubs, strawberries, wildflowers
and grasses. Wildlife, including various song birds and rabbits, can be
found in the campground. There is a public phone at the entrance booth.
The Appalachian and Virginia Creeper Trails are nearby. US Rt. 58 is a
scenic road that overlooks a stocked trout stream along much of the way.
The Virginia Creeper Trail is 33.4 miles long and is for non-motorized use
only. It stretches from Abingdon, VA to the Virginia-North Carolina state
line. The trail began as a Native American footpath, then pioneers
including Daniel Boone used the trail. In 1907, a railroad was constructed
for hauling lumber, iron ore, supplies and passengers. The Virginia Creeper
ran its last train on March 31, 1977. There exist today over 100 trestles
and bridges, all accessible by foot or bicycle. The Virginia Creeper Trail
is considered one of the most beautiful trails on the continent. Bike rentals
are available from several outfitters in the area.

(Flatridge Rd.), take Rt. 16 north 3.8 miles to Grindstone
campground sign. Turn left after sign onto State Rt. 603 and go
3.8 miles to the campground on right.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 3,400 feet.
The campground, one of 11 in the Mount Rogers National Recreation
Area, has two unnamed sections straddling Fox Creek. Sites on
the south side of Fox Creek are sandwiched between the creek and
Rt 603 and will experience traffic noise. Sites of Fox
Creek may hear Rt 603's traffic but will not see any passing
vehicles. Although campsites are open and on grass, with a
dispersed camping feel, the campground is surrounded by a
pleasant dense forest of mixed hemlock, oak, poplar and variety
of other trees. The occasional apple tree attests to the area's
agricultural past. A popular equestrian campground on the 200-
mile network of Virginia Highlands Horse trails, it can be
crowded on weekends. The provided equestrian amenities are
limited to "high-line" poles but visitors can use portable
corrals on their campsite. Fishing is allowed in Fox Creek
outside the campground. Horses may be watered only at designated
"hardened" places along the creek.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

The elevation is 3,700 ft.
The campground, one of 11 in the Mount Rogers National Recreation

It also has the majority of the campground's water spigots and
many sites are tucked in among dense towering rhododendrons. All
the sites in Cottontail loop have electric and water hookups and
some sites are in a stand of hemlock. Groundhog loop has a mix
of sites, some with no hookups and some with electric and water
hookups. There is an amphitheater, interpretive program each
weekend and church services on Sunday during the summer. This is
an older campground when steeply sloped parking aprons and narrow
interior roads were not a problem for car campers but may pose a
challenge for RV campers. The campground has not only a playground
but a half basketball court and a volleyball court.

DIRECTIONS:
From Coeburn, VA, take US Rt. 58A west 2.4 miles to "High Knob"
sign in Tacoma, Va (State Rt. 706). Turn left onto Rt. 706
(Stone Mtn. Rd.) and go 4 miles to another High Knob sign.
Continue straight on Rt. 706 until it changes into Forest Rt. 238
(gravel road, single lane with turnouts). Go 5.6 miles on Rt.
238 to High Knob Recreational Area sign. Turn left at sign and
go 1.7 miles to campground.
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE: From Norton, VA, take State Rt. 619 south
for 3.7 miles to campground sign (Forest Rt. 238). Turn left onto
Rt. 238 and go 1.6 miles to another campground sign. Turn right
at sign and go 1.7 miles to campground.
NOTE: Both of these routes are not RV friendly. Forest Rt. 238
is single lane, gravel, washboard and steep in places. State Rt.
619, on the other hand, is a paved two-lane road but very steep
with severe switchbacks. Long motor homes may have to back
up to negotiate some switchbacks.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 3,520 ft.
A nice campground, located on a ridge in mature hardwoods near
High Knob Lake, was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).
The interior road is "tear" shaped and narrow making it difficult
to drive the loop when looking for site. Because of the difficult
access and interior roads, campground is not RV friendly.
A scenic hike is the High Knob Tower Trail. It goes up to the High
Knob Tower with spectacular views from the tower of the forest,
Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. The High Knob Tower is also
accessible by car not far from the campground.

Jefferson National Forest. All the information for this campground
provided by Eastern Divide Range District Office.
The campground has two loops, Stormy and Misty (like in the
book), in Virginia's Appalachian Mountains. The nearby Flat Top
Mountain offers several trails for an up-close-and personal
opportunity to explore the area. Large spacious campsites,
tucked in among grand old oak and maple trees, feature nice views,
good privacy, a lantern pole, and corral for horses. While the
campground is designed for equestrian campers, all campers are
welcomed. Dismal Creek is a short walk from campground and is
especially attractive when the wildflowers and rhododendrons are
in bloom. The Appalachian Trail is nearby, offering hikers, but
not equestrians, a chance to explore this ancient trail. The
campground includes a Group Area (not included in this survey),
which does not permit horses, but does have a nice little
playground.
A hike to a little waterfall on Dismal Creek offers a pleasant
outing. Basic groceries and supplies are available at Trent
Store on State Rt. 606.

transporting a horse.
