Camping:
This is primitive camping! There are some really good spots for camping in the newly cleared areas! The Cove is fast becoming Virginia’s favorite host for outdoor concerts and festivals. The natural layout of the valley creates one of the best acoustical sounds of outdoor venues anywhere. Choose your ideal camping spot: a hideaway deep within the rolling hills or forest, a gathering spot in one of the popular open areas, or a peaceful family retreat by the water. Sun and shade dance throughout the venue. A perfect setting for family and friends to gather and create a lifetime of memories!

RV's and Campers
There are no RV hook-ups! *Please note that this area is primitive with no hookups for RV's at this time. Space is limited so RVs should plan to arrive early if intending to stay at Camp 6, which is nearest to the Music.
