I live at the foot of Afton Mt where the BRP and Skyline Drive meet - I grew up tent camping at Sherando and LOVE it! There is a private campground about 5-10 miles east of the juncture on US 250 - http://www.mistymountaincampresort.com// where I do all of my shakedowns. It has full hookups and lots of activities.

We were thinking of going in August.
Roy's suggestion of Sherando Lake, off of BRP is a good one as it's one of the few along, (not on) the parkway with electric, which we found handy for sleeping one weekend a few years back when it got to the upper 90's, however that was July.
If you do decide on Sherando, make reservations now, as it's extremely popular & while 2 of the loops have electric, only one, (Meadow loop) takes reservations.

Hope your height included the roof mounted air conditioner...
We always like to stay at LOFT mtn just be aware there are NO HOOKUPS at the mtn camp sites. Only REST ROOMs and water available to tote back to your camp site.
There is CAMP STORE and hot shower and fire wood at LOFT MTN... Also a WAY STATION on the Skyline drive at this location with Gas Station.
Another great place to stay at the I64 crossing of Skyline Drive/BlueRidge Parkway is SHERANDO LAKE which has hookups and is just off the BLUERIDGE Parway. We really like this place as well...
It would be best to go to SHERANDO from I64 EXIT 96 I think it is verses coming straight off the BLUE RIDGE Parkway (CHeck your maps). The road coming off the Blue Ridge parkway at the top is very WINDING, NARROW, and STEEP just as you get to the Parkway.
