Camping & Hiking Guides

Blue Mountain Adventures offers camping and tubing rentals at Explore Park; camp right off the Blue Ridge Parkway in a primitive site, canvas tent or tipi.

• Canvas Tents: These 14’x16’ tents are constructed on a custom made wood platform with an extending rain fly over the 16’x24’ deck to keep the elements off. Each tent sleeps up to four and comes with a queen bed and 2 single cots with plush padding for comfort.
• Canopy Camping: Elevated platforms with canvas flies will be constructed for a unique “in-the-trees” camping experience.
• Tipi Tents: Measuring 16’ in diameter, these platform elevated canvas tents will board two adults and a child or two.
• Primitive Camping: Come pitch your tent; it’s not a bad way to kick back.
• Rent tubes for a float down the Roanoke River Gorge.
