Camping on the Parkway Season!

Blue Ridge Parkway -- April 30. 2024: National Parks Service: Get ready! Camping season on the Parkway is just around the corner; and fees

for frontcountry and backcountry camping site fees, as well as non-camper user fees for shower and dump station services are changing.

Frontcountry campground standard site - $30
Frontcountry campground GROUP site (20-person occupancy) - $45 (only available in certain campgrounds)
Backcountry campsite (6-person occupancy, 3-night limit) - $15
Non-camper dump station fee - $6
Non-camper shower fee - $6 (Price and Mount Pisgah campgrounds)
The Parkway's eight frontcountry campgrounds are typically open from May through late October, and reservations for all campgrounds can be made now for the 2024 visitor season at recreation.gov. New frontcountry fees will go into effect for reservations made on or after May 24, 2024, to coincide with opening weekend of Parkway campgrounds. Backcountry camping permits are required, and implementation of new backcountry fees is expected later this summer.
