Fancy Gap / Blue Ridge Parkway KOA Journey Reviews

I took a recent three-day trip and stopped twice overnight. The fancy gap Virginia KOA was by far the best of the two campgrounds we stayed in. This little campground is on the side of the Blue Ridge. But when they built it, they did a really good job of each camper parking site level. They also don't pack them in so you have more space than other campgrounds that I have been in. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay going north and on our return trip going south. We tried food off of their menu. We had a homemade pizza with the works that was really really good. We also had a brisket sandwich. It was good, but there was a little too much bark in it for me. The brisket had been pulled, which is normal, but because all of the bark that was in it, it would've been better served chopped so the stringy bark would have been chopped for a better eating experience. I also found the campground to be relatively quiet. I think there were several long-term campers there. unlike many other parks this one seemed to have their long-term residence that were just camping instead of living there and working someone local because I didn't hear a morning rush of traffic leaving the campground. My only complaint would not be against the campground. It would be about other overnight campers and their unruly dogs. I really wish that people would train their dogs enough that when I walk by with my dog, their dog isn't lunging and barking at me. There are no bad dogs. There are just bad owners. I can't fault the campground for that. This is a campground that I would definitely stay at again

We were camping so the above ratings didn't apply. Overall Fancy Gap was a nice place to visit.
