Indian Heritage RV Park
Campground in Martinsville, VA • 55 RV Sites
At 184 Tensbury Drive in Martinsville, Virginia—in Henry County on the Smith River in the Virginia Piedmont where the Blue Ridge's eastern foothills create the transition between the Appalachian mountain terrain and the rolling agricultural landscape of central Virginia, and where the Smith River's cold-water trout fishery below Philpott Dam has made the Martinsville area one of the most productive and least-crowded trout fishing destinations on the Virginia Blue Ridge corridor—Indian Heritage RV Park provides 60 full hookup sites, tent sites, and three cabins on the Smith River's wooded bank in the year-round operation that makes the park accessible for trout fishing across the winter catch-and-release season as well as the open spring and summer schedule. The Smith River running beside the park, the trout fishery, and the wooded campsite character define a property whose amenity list matters considerably less than its river position. Sixty full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer in both back-in and pull-through configurations accommodate the full range of RV types and driver experience levels. Three tent sites provide the primitive camping option. Three cabin rentals—including a spacious structure with three bedrooms, one and a half baths, and DirecTV satellite service—serve the long-term guest population that Martinsville's extended-stay employment and visit market supports, with the cabins providing the furnished comfort that multi-week stays require. Three bathhouses maintained at regular sanitation standards serve the campground's shared hygiene infrastructure, with laundry facilities in the largest bathhouse for extended-stay guests' practical needs. Fire rings at individual sites provide the evening campfire that wooded riverbank camping makes most atmospheric. The park's direct Smith River access—from a wooded bank where the river's cold, clear water is audible from the sites—is the amenity that no bathhouse or hookup count can quantify. The Smith River below Philpott Dam provides one of the finest tailwater trout fisheries in the mid-Atlantic states. The dam's cold-water release from the bottom of Philpott Reservoir maintains the temperature that rainbow and brown trout require in a Virginia Piedmont river whose ambient temperature would otherwise be too warm for cold-water fish in summer. The result is a year-round trout fishery in a scenic, wooded river corridor that receives considerably less fishing pressure than the more famous Virginia trout streams of the Shenandoah Valley, giving Indian Heritage's Smith River frontage a fishing quality that reputation hasn't yet overwhelmed with demand. Martinsville's additional attractions extend the campground's utility as a base beyond the single-purpose trout fishing visit. Martinsville Speedway—one of the oldest NASCAR tracks in continuous operation, producing some of the most physically demanding short-track racing in the professional series schedule—hosts NASCAR Cup Series events in spring and fall that fill Henry County's accommodations completely in the event weekends. Philpott Lake, accessible 20 minutes west, provides the warm-water boating and bass fishing alternative for guests whose interests extend beyond the Smith River's trout. The Blue Ridge Parkway—accessible within the broader Henry County region—provides the Blue Ridge overlook and trail access that the Piedmont's proximity to the mountain makes available as a half-day drive. Indian Heritage RV Park is open year-round in Martinsville's four-season Piedmont climate. The trout fishing season's year-round character, the NASCAR race weekends, and the fall foliage season create three distinct demand periods. Reserve well in advance for NASCAR race weekends, pack the fly rod for the Smith River morning, and let Henry County's wooded river position earn the mid-Atlantic trout fishing reputation that the campground's bank access makes specific and immediate.
