Grayson Highlands State Park
Although this looks like Montana where I have hiked and camped, it's actually in Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia.

Highly recommend Grayson Highlands State Park. We got there super early (7am-ish) and got a glimpse of the famous wild ponies!

I recently camped at Grayson Highlands State Park near Mouth of Wilson, VA. What a beautiful location, and a perfect escape from the sweltering summer many of us have endured. Temperatures in the campground topped out in the mid 70s, helped in part by the canopy of trees providing full shade to most sites.
We had a "non-specific" standard site reservation, meaning we got to choose our site upon arrival. This made me a bit nervous, since I normally like to know exactly where I'm going to be parked. After surveying the campground, I actually tend to like the non-specific sites better than many of the reservable sites. Note that standard sites have no water and no electric, but I used a solar generator over a 6-night stay without any issues, even though I didn't attempt to do any solar charging.
We explored the Rhododendron and Wilburn Ridge Trails, along with a portion of the Appalachian Trail (my first time setting foot on that fabled path). These trails provide excellent views of the surrounding mountains, including Virginia's highest peak, Mt. Rogers. Of course, the most popular attractions are the wild ponies grazing these hills and valleys. There are also a number of "boulder problems" for those who enjoy climbing.
Site 13. In my opinion, one of the best sites in the campground, although it has no water or electric and is not specifically reservable. Guess we just had good fortune on our first visit!
Deer walked nearly to the campsite! All this open space behind the site is one reason we really enjoyed it.

A wonderful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Grayson Highlands State Park?
Hey what’s up guys? Heading up to Grayson Highlands tmrw to hike and possibly fish. Anyone know if they’ll honor NC fishing/trout license? VA non res freshwater is $8 which is cool but the only non res trout stamp is 1 year at $47 which is not cool. I know sections of VA honor NC license, like the New River. Anyone know I would greatly appreciate the info. Thanks!
