We stayed six nights at GHSP, it was our first time camping here. The campground was very nice well maintained, very clean all around. Got to say the bathhouse was "top of the line" of all the places we've camped at. Very Very clean, very private. The camp hosts were very helpful and very friendly. Many trails , lots of... More

I've been to GHSP several times and most recently in March 2012 to hike Mt Rogers. We parked in the backpackers lot near the campground. This lot is convenient to the trails and has ample parking. We met day hikers, backpackers and Boy Scouts along the way. Found a great, private spot to camp and enjoyed viewing more stars than... More

I'll admit--I'm prejudiced since I'm a local resident. Grayson Highlands is a beautiful park, fresh and not over-used. There are trails for both humans and horses, picnic grounds, camping, rocks to climb, meadows to romp in, streams to fish, a small but interesting display of local history in the visitor center. One of the staff members helped to put together... More

You can hike deep woods or a high rocky ridge and spend time walking the Appalachian Trail. It's a beautiful place to wander and the wild horses are a delight. We went when there were new babies and there were lots of photos ops. Take a good map! We meant to hike 6 miles, got lost and ended up hiking... More

We go throughout the year. The scenery never fails to impress. Autumn is especially fantastic. Trails range from easy to difficult and offer a great day jaunt or multi day experience. Be sure to take an apple or two for the wild ponies you are sure to encounter! More

We went here after biking on the Virginia Creeper Trail in the morning. Our goal in addition to enjoying some hiking was to see the wild ponies that roam freely around the park. The ranger was very helpful indicating the most likely place to find them and sure enough after begining our hike from the Overnight Backpacker's Lot along the... More
