Hurricane Campground

About

Hurricane Campground sits along rushing Hurricane Branch and Comers Creek in the heart of Mount Rogers National Recreation Area. The 21 sites are shaded by mixed woods of oak and hemlock, with colorful rhododendron throughout. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and lantern pole. The campground features flush toilets, hot showers, and potable water from faucets, plus an open playing field and amphitheater. From camp, hikers can reach the Appalachian Trail within half a mile. The Hurricane Knob Trail offers a scenic 1.1-mile loop that parallels the creek, crosses two wooden bridges, and climbs to Hurricane Knob at elevations between 2,800 and 3,050 feet. Both Hurricane and Comers creeks are stocked with trout. The campground is not recommended for RVs longer than 30 feet due to road turn ratios on the approach. Seven sites accept reservations through Recreation.gov while the remainder are first-come, first-served via Scan & Pay.
