Due to adverse weather conditions, full-service camping is only available from May through October.
Grayson Highlands has four yurts in Hickory Ridge Campground. Each yurt has a large wooden deck with a picnic table and four rocking chairs. There is an additional area with a picnic table and a fire ring with a cooking grate.
Camping Lodge (bunkhouse) – This is not a full service lodge; it is a camping facility. The two-room trailer has seven bunk beds, a refrigerator, a microwave, a coffeepot, and heating and air conditioning. Just outside is a deck with two picnic tables and a charcoal grill.
