Campgrounds and RV parks near Ivanhoe, VA

Ivanhoe sits along the New River in southwestern Virginia's Wythe County, roughly midway between Wytheville and Galax. The town is a trailhead community for New River Trail State Park, a linear rail-trail that runs through Grayson, Carroll, Wythe, and Pulaski counties and parallels the New River for much of its length. RV travelers use Ivanhoe as a base for the trail, the surrounding Blue Ridge foothills, and the Mount Rogers high country to the south. Campground options range from full-service resorts to primitive tent sites. Wytheville KOA Holiday and Lake Ridge RV Resort provide full hookups and family amenities, while Fries New River Trail RV Park and Old Cranks Campground and RV Park sit closer to the water and trail. Iron Mountain Horse Camp serves equestrian travelers with barn stalls and direct trail access. Road conditions vary across the area. Some campgrounds are easily reached from Interstate 81, while others require navigation along winding rural roads. Travelers towing larger rigs should map their route in advance and confirm site length before booking.
