Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights2 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Perched between the bases of two dominant peaks in the rolling hills along the Blue Ridge Parkway, Peaks of Otter Campground sits side-by-side with Abbott Lake, a clear 24-acre pond popular with anglers for smallmouth bass and bluegill. A mountain stream threads the nearby picnic area, and trails fan out from the campground to suit a range of outings a short, flat loop around the lake for easy walks, steeper climbs that scale the area's high summits, and meadow pockets that fill with wildflowers and migrating butterflies in spring and rich fall color later in the year.

















Length limits vary by campsite.

“We stayed one night in a 21' Class B RV. The volunteer, Denise, who managed the campground that night was very kind to protect us from a neighboring RV that had a propane leak. She was quite kind. The campground was extremely quiet and not overly busy.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (10,120 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
