    Things To Do, Know and See

    Plan your adventure on the Blue Ridge Parkway and in Southwest Virginia.

    Home Things to Do, Know and See

    On the Blue Ridge Parkway and in southwest Virginia, there is so much to do, to see and to know. Hiking, paddling, fishing, history, music, shopping, antiquing and wineries are just the beginning of what you’ll find close to us at Fancy Gap Cabins and Campground. We can’t forget the many area festivals that occur between April and November when we’re open for the season.

    Motel family Fancy Gap Cabins and CampgroundIf you want to enjoy our campground and motel, there’s plenty to do as well. Take a walk around our 22-acre property, including our easy to moderate trails through the woods. We have  views of surrounding mountains and the rolling hills of the Blue Ridge Plateau. Rest assured that starry nights and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets are the norm. Guests can pitch a game of horseshoes or  borrow other outside games like Big Jenga or Drop 4. Board games are also available to borrow along with books. Nothing tops off a camping trip like a fire and some s’mores. We have everything you need for that in our Lil’ Camp Store.

    Below we’ve put together posts that you can use to plan your stay. When you’re ready to reserve accommodations, you can book with us. Remember at Fancy Gap Cabins and Campground, you can stay in your RV or tent or choose one of our camping cabins or a motel room.
