Iron City Campground - Blacksburg, South Carolina (July 2019)

We were on our way to the 62nd WBCCI International Rally, which was being held this year in Doswell, Virginia. (The WBCCI is the Wally Byam Caravan Club International, the Airstream owner’s association.) Our plan was to take it easy heading to the Rally and stop along the way before dinnertime for the night. 

We used Google Maps, AllStays and Campendium to find Iron City Campground. It was about half way to Doswell and the reviews looked favorable. 

You need your GPS to find this campground. There wasn’t a sign along the road to point you in the right direction. Maybe the signs will show up later since this is a brand new campground and a work in progress.

Speaking of new campgrounds, it was good to see one in operation. It seems to us that more people are on the roads camping and new locations are always welcome. 

One of our first questions when we arrived was about refilling our propane gas tank. We had to switch to our second tank before leaving the warehouse where we store Rosie, our 25 foot Airstream trailer. We always feel better when Rosie has a full spare propane tank. We appreciated the campground owners help in refilling ours.

It was clear to see that the owners were trying to make this a nice campground for their guests. They were developing a fishing pond, playground and a pavilion. 

Here are some specifics about this campground:

• Our site was a back-in
• Our site was paved with gravel 
• We had to use leveling tools to correct a side-to-side lean
• Our site had 20 and 30 amp electrical service 
• Our site had a water connection 
• Our site had a sewer connection 
• The campground had restrooms and showers that were clean and up-to-date 
• The campground provided WiFi at the campground store 
• The park provided basic cable TV service 
• AT&T provided two bars of 4G service for voice and data over our site
• The park had a swimming pool
• The campground had a camp store

This was a small campground with less than 45 sites. We look forward to seeing how this campground grows in the future.
