Campgrounds near Mount Hermon, Virginia
Mount Hermon is an unincorporated community in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, in the state's Southside region north of Danville. The area sits in the rolling Piedmont, roughly midway between Danville and Lynchburg along the U.S. Route 29 corridor, giving RV travelers straightforward access to both cities and to two major reservoirs: Smith Mountain Lake and Leesville Lake.
RV renters typically use Mount Hermon as a base for lake-focused trips. Paradise Lake and Campground and Lake Sugar Tree offer nearby private-park stays, while Smith Mountain Campground and Leesville Lake Campground, LLC put boats within reach of the water. Indian Heritage RV Park rounds out the closer options for travelers who want full hookups without driving deep into state park territory.
The surrounding landscape mixes wooded ridges, farmland, and impounded reservoirs on the Roanoke River system. Smith Mountain Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in the state, and Leesville Lake sits immediately downstream of Smith Mountain Dam.
Things to do near Mount Hermon
Water recreation drives most trips. Smith Mountain Lake offers over 500 miles of shoreline and countless opportunities for fishing, kayaking, sailing, tubing, and hiking, with a public swim beach, boat ramps, and a universally accessible fishing pier inside Smith Mountain Lake State Park. Leesville Lake, a narrower reservoir just downstream, is quieter and better suited to anglers, paddlers, and pontoon cruising.
On land, the park offers picnicking, a visitor center, an amphitheater, special programs, camping, miles of trails and cabins with boat docks. Day trips from Mount Hermon can reach Danville's riverfront, the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, and Appomattox Court House National Historical Park within about an hour's drive.

Peak season runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, when lake temperatures are warm, the guarded beach at Smith Mountain Lake State Park is staffed, and boat and watercraft rentals operate. Summer weekends fill fastest at both state park and private campgrounds, and holiday weekends can book out months ahead. Weekday arrivals see better availability.
Spring and fall are the most comfortable windows for RV travel. March through May brings blooming Piedmont hardwoods and cool nights, while September and October deliver warm days, cooler evenings, and fall color across the Blue Ridge foothills to the west. Water levels on Leesville Lake fluctuate year-round because of hydroelectric generation at Smith Mountain Dam, which affects shoreline access and boat launching.
Winter is the off-season. The Smith Mountain Lake State Park campground operates from the first Friday in March through the first Monday in December, so December through February trips depend on private parks that stay open year-round.
How to book campgrounds near Mount Hermon
Smith Mountain Lake State Park reservations are accepted up to 11 months in advance via reservevaparks.com or 1-800-933-PARK. The campground has 24 sites offering water and 20/30-amp electric hookups, five of which are pull-throughs, and the park accommodates RVs up to 50 feet, though not all sites support that length. There are no full-hookup or waterfront sites, and generators are prohibited at all times.
Private parks in the area, including Paradise Lake and Campground, Lake Sugar Tree, Smith Mountain Campground, Leesville Lake Campground, LLC, and Indian Heritage RV Park, book directly through the operator by phone or website. For summer weekends and holidays, reserve well in advance; mid-week and shoulder-season dates are easier to secure.
What to expect on an RV trip
Roads into the lake-area private parks are paved county routes with some narrow, winding sections as they approach the water. Larger Class A rigs should confirm site length and turning access with the campground before booking. At the state park, every campsite includes a picnic table, fire ring grill, in-ground cooking grill, and lantern post, a full-service bathhouse provides hot showers and a dishwashing sink, and the dump station is free for overnight guests.
Cell coverage in Pittsylvania and southern Bedford counties is generally reliable near U.S. 29 and thins out closer to the lakes and ridges. WiFi is not available at the campground but can be accessed at the park's Discovery Center. Expect wooded, shaded sites at the state park and a mix of gravel and grass pads at private parks.
