Grayson Highlands State Park Horse Stalls Campground

About

Located in the remote Chestnut Hollow area of Grayson Highlands State Park, this equestrian camping facility sits near Virginia's two highest peaks, Mount Rogers and Whitetop Mountain. The Horse Stalls area provides dedicated camping for horse owners with spacious gravel sites equipped with 20, 30, and 50-amp electrical service and water hookups, accommodating equipment up to 40 feet. The stable facility offers three stall configurations: wide covered stalls (approximately 8x10 feet with park-provided sawdust), wide open stalls (8x10 feet), and standard open stalls (5x8 feet). Campers must bring their own hay bags and water buckets. Virginia law requires all visitors to carry a copy of a negative Coggins report for each horse. Amenities include a standard bathhouse, dump station, trash dumpsters with recycling, and firewood/ice available for purchase. Each campsite has a picnic table, grill, and fire ring. The campground connects to 2 miles of equestrian trails that link to Jefferson National Forest's extensive trail system.
