After dry camping at a campground operated by the National Park Service, we were looking forward to returning to a park with utilities and Misty Mountain Camp Resort Campground didn’t disappoint us. This was a campground that really was a resort.
There were several levels of campsites at Misty Mountain. We parked Rosie on the street level near the creek. (Rosie is our 25 foot Airstream trailer.) There was another level up the hill and this had more of a “in the woods” feel to it.

It was easy to see that the playground area was recently updated and was one that the kids loved. It featured a large bouncy pad and children appeared to enjoy jumping on it.

Thomas Jefferson was the area’s favorite son. We visited Monticello and the University of Virginia.

Here are some specifics about this campground:
- Our site was a pull-thru
- Our site was paved with gravel
- Our site was level
- Our site had 20, 30 and 50 amp electrical service
- Our site had a water connection
- Our site had a sewer connection
- Our site had a cable TV connection
- We were unable to find any TV signals using Rosie’s antenna
- The campground provided a mostly unusable WiFi signal
- AT&T placed a one bar signal over our site. It was inadequate for both voice and data
- The restrooms near Rosie were very very small. They may have been smaller that the ones on an airplane
- The showers were a long walk from our site. They were clean and adequate
- There was a decent laundry area in this park
