Royal Oak Campground

About

Royal Oak Campground is a tent-only camping area within Hungry Mother State Park, located in the mountains of Southwest Virginia near Marion. The campground provides 11 platform tent sites plus one yurt rental, each equipped with a fire ring and picnic table. Unlike the park's other campgrounds, Royal Oak has no electric, water, or sewer hookups, offering a quieter atmosphere suited for tent campers who prefer a more primitive experience with bathhouse access. The campground features a universally accessible bathhouse with nearby paved sites for campers with accessibility needs. Equipment must fit on the 20x20-foot camping pads. The yurt sleeps up to three guests on a queen bed and twin trundle, with its own deck, table, and fire ring. Hungry Mother State Park offers excellent recreational opportunities including a 108-acre lake with bass, crappie, catfish, and musky fishing, boat rentals, a sandy swimming beach, and over 17 miles of hiking trails open year-round. The park's Discovery Center provides educational programming and exhibits.
