Lynchburg, VA Campgrounds?????

There is an Issak Walton park in Amherst County, just north of Madison Heights. It is a little closer to the city center. All other campgrounds are farther away. Paradise Lake has been back and forth with the membership thing for years. Last I knew they did take non-member campers, but not at the $8 rate. Which ever you wind up at, enjoy the concert, and welcome to my town.

Depends on how far you want to be from Lynchburg. You are within a 45 minute drive from Holiday Lake State Park, Smith Mountain Lake State Park and James River State Park.

It was the Issak Walton that was $8/night. Are they membership? Why so cheap?

Want to be as close as possible, as I'm sure my party will be drinking so we'll probably have to pay a cab for our ride back.

Dunno -- never been there, although I have driven past. And it is my understanding that Issak Walton does require a membership.

Either Paradise Lake or Issak Walton should be a doable cab ride. Walton is closer in distance, but Paradise is down a 60 mph highway. I recon which works better will depend on where the concert is.

If you are only going to be there for the night, the closest would be the Bedford County Visitor center. They have about 4-5 sites and would be about 20 miles from where I think you are heading. (I'm thinking Liberty University is out of the question if your drinking) or a Walmart that's about 5 miles. Also if one of your party is a mamber of a Moose Lodge you could check with the Lodge on Waterlick Road. They have a few visitor site behind the lodge.

I don't know the address off hand but it's at Phase 2....some sort of venue.

Izaak Walton is a member park. Wildwood (Monroe, Va)is on Route 130 about 30 minutes from Phase 2, Thousand Trails in Rustburg VA. about 20 minutes away, Paradise Lake which you know about, along with the Moose on Waterlick Rd. (if you are a Moose member.

That's where I thought, my recomendations remain the same

I think that Walmart doesn't allow overnight parking. At least I was turned away once. Said "no" when I asked. Not many campgrounds going down Rt 29!
