Lynchburg, VA Campgrounds?????

[BigSur2]

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. ????

Just happened to think of Parkview Mobile Home & RV in Appomattox, about 20 miles east on 460 might suit your needs

That Walmart has a Sam's club just to the south and a Cracker Barrel on the north, all share the same parking lots, check with each.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
