Although water sports are limited to swimming, the park has a range of easy to moderate hiking and biking trails. The park is also a popular spot for geocaching and bird watching. Don’t forget to bring binoculars because Claytor Lake State Park is home to over 400 species of bird, including Downey woodpeckers and mourning doves. The best trail for bird spotting is the Hidden Valley Trail which takes hikers to a viewpoint above Claytor Lake.Another beautiful place to take an RV rental is Fairy Stone State Park, the largest of the six original state parks of Virginia. The park gets its name from folklore stories about magic "fairy stones" which you can search for while hiking or biking. According to the stories, these stones had the power to heal illness, protect from misfortune, and even keep the bearer safe from witches. Even if you don’t believe in magic, searching for these mystic stones is a fun way to spend an afternoon of your vacation with a campervan rental.Fairy Stone State Park also offers an abundance of recreational activities, from water sports to land adventures. The tranquil surface of Fairy Stone Lake is ideal for canoeing and kayaking. You can also swim from the lakeside or take a boat around the tree-lined perimeter. On land, the park has a ten-mile, multi-use trail system which is suitable for hiking, biking, or horseback riding. You can choose from a gentle trip on the Lake Shore Trail or a more strenuous climb to Little Mountain Falls.After all the hiking, cycling, and paddling, you might like a more relaxing day in the great outdoors; fortunately, Blue Ridge Parkway is close by when you camp in an RV near Fancy Gap. This scenic road spans for 106 miles from Cherokee in North Carolina to Afton at the southern end of Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. The parkway passes historic sites and rural villages, working farms, and traverses a large section of George Washington and Jefferson National Forest.

Questions about RVs?

Q.

What type of RV should I choose?

A.

Start by determining how many people are planning to travel with you. Going on a solo-journey? Choose a camper van or a teardrop trailer. Bringing the whole family along for the ride? Consider a spacious Class A or five-wheel.

You’ll also want to consider amenities. For example, if you’re planning to cook on the road, you’ll want a kitchenette. If your campground doesn’t have public restrooms, you’ll want to search RVs with bathrooms. Check out full descriptions of our models to help you decide here.


Q.

Do the RVs have bathrooms?

A.

Yes. Class A’s, Class B’s, and Class C’s and five-Wheels typically have bathrooms. Depending on where you plan on camping, you’ll want to double-check the availability of restrooms if selecting a rig without a bathroom. Nervous about renting an RV with a bathroom? Owners can help show you how to clean the tank or will offer to do it for you for a fee.


Q.

How does check-in work?

A.

Once an Owner approves your RV reservation, you can coordinate a time to pick up your rig or have it delivered to your doorstep or campsite. At that point, the owner will do a key exchange with you and walk you through the RV and answer any questions you might have.
