Devils Backbone Camp is a fantastic campground offering a really great experience. It provides easy access to the rest of the Devil's Backbone Brewery amenities, including the Basecamp, brewery, food, and a cigar lounge. The atmosphere and views are rated A+. The campground is dog-friendly and top notch for that.
Campers can choose from full hook-up sites or electric-only sections. Some guests note the convenience of walking to the brewery and the easy accessibility to many other area activities and nearby hikes. However, there are some criticisms. Prices have taken a jump, and for the cost, some feel amenities like water at electric sites should be included. The water supply is noted as extremely sulferous, with low pressure. Some campsite layouts place utilities inconveniently. There is only one bathhouse in the campground, though it is nice and well-maintained; men's facilities have limited stalls. Other noted issues include not enough trash receptacles, a lack of propane refill capabilities, and hiking trails that are not well marked and can be too wet.
Overall, most campers love this place and had a great time, definitely recommending it, though some wish the hours were open a little longer.
Quick getaway with everything you need to relax. We had a tent site without power and it was fun. Bring lots of lanterns and charge your phone while you are visiting breweries. We didn’t arrive till right at dark. I appreciate the host taking us to our site. Lots of kids playing and dogs. The bathhouse was clean.

We had such a wonderful time at Devil’s Backbone Campground during their Lumberjack Competition! The campground & brewery staff were incredibly friendly, creating an atmosphere that was welcoming, fun, & surrounded by the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
