Grindstone CG in Va

Heading to Grindstone next spring, anyone know if there is firewood sold locally outside the park ? Hopefully at a reasonable price.

    We plan on being in that area, from Fairy Stone SP, then touring Mt Airy and heading to Natural Tunnel SP. Is Grindstone a worthwhile stop for a night or a couple of days?
    Grindstone would be our destination, whether or not it's worth a stop, is entirely up to you, there is basically nothing there (which is why we would be there) except beautiful country, mountain scenery, solitude, hiking & some bike riding.
  • Their's miles and miles of hiking trails,the appalachian trail is near by along with mount rodgers virginia highest mountain,you can rent a bike and ride the creeper trail.graysonhighlands state park is also near by. I think they close for the winter November 30th.

  • From what I remember the hosts also do fire wood sales. There were also some sales in the area. We take a chain saw and collect dead and down within the forest.
