The Blue Ridge Parkway plans to add some reserved sites at Rocky Knob campground in 2012 and Doughton Park campground in 2013. This will allow more visitors to use these campgrounds and discover the region. In addition, it will allow local users the opportunity to reserve a camp site on busy weekends and holidays. We seek the public's input prior to going forward. Please contact Teresa Lovelace at Blue Ridge Parkway, 199 Hemphill Knob Road, Asheville, NC, 28803 with comments or concerns.
