About

A hidden parkway gem, Crabtree Falls Campground offers quiet serenity. It’s a magical place when mist hangs in the air, coyotes and deer stroll through, and barred owls call out. Crabtree Falls, a 70’ waterfall, is accessible from the campground. Named for the crabapple trees which once dotted the countryside, the meadows in Crabtree Falls Recreation Area speak of the area’s history as a farming community. Bursting with wildflowers in spring, the meadows abut hardwood forests and thickets of rhododendrons.

  • fireStovePolicy= Invasive insects and diseases that live in firewood are a growing threat to forests along the Blue Ridge Parkway and the surrounding region. Tree-killing insects and diseases can hitch-hike hundreds of miles on firewood when people bring wood into campgrounds. Counties in many states have federal or state quarantines in place which prohibit moving firewood. These quarantines were issued to prevent the spread of emerald ash borer, Asian long-horn beetle, gypsy moth, and thousand cankers disease. Federal and state regulations prohibit visitors from bringing firewood to the park from these counties. See https://www.nps.gov/blri/planyourvisit/firewood-quarantine-by-state.htm for a list of quarantined counties.
