Lynchburg, VA Campgrounds?????

Anybody have any good references for CG's in Lynchburg, VA? Planning on going up there in June to see a concert. Think I've seen a "paradise lake" CG, which looks okay but it's about 25 minutes fromthe venue. Also, there is an Isaac Walton chapter CG?????? This place looks okay but wondering if it requires some sort of membership b/c the rate is only like $8 per night for w/e/s. ????

    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.

    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.


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