A family vacation, time with friends, or a weekend getaway for two awaits visitors to Southern Gap Outdoor Adventure -- a Good Sam campground with cabins, full hook-up pull-through RV sites and primitive tent camping in the mountains of Southwest Virginia

Located at the trailhead for Spearhead Trails’ Coal Canyon ATV/OHV/Mountain Bike Trail , Southern Gap Outdoor Adventure offers visitors the ability to choose their own adventure. Off-road riding on the trails, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, stargazing, bird watching, viewing the elk and other wildlife that freely roam on the trails and sometimes through the campgrounds are all a part of the outdoor experience that comes full circle at Southern Gap . A four-season climate makes the area enjoyable at any time of year --from the new green of spring and the long days of summer, to the cool, crisp color of fall and softly falling winter snow.

Our full-service campground also features a modern bathhouse with showers, a vending area, laundry and restrooms for the convenience and comfort of our guests.

A variety of special activities are held throughout the year and include July’s Mountain Mayhem – the East’s premier off-road event -- which features days of riding fun, mud bogs, ATV/UTV drag racing, games, vendors, music and more. Elk Fest in October features a wild game dinner, mountain games, arts and crafts, storytelling, music and more. Numerous opportunities to participate in guided night rides of the trails are offered periodically throughout the year and seasonal elk viewing tours are offered in the spring and fall.
