Blue Ridge Parkway - Doughton Park Campground

Doughton Park is a landscape of mountains, open meadows and pioneer cabins, 30 miles of hiking trails and a place to view wildlife and get a feel for the lives of those who lived here long ago. Originally known as the Bluffs, this area is now named in honor of Congressman Robert L. Doughton, long-time advocate and supporter of the Parkway. The 7,000-acre park is one of the best places along the Parkway to view deer, raccoons, red and grey foxes, bobcats, spectacular shows of flame azalea and rhododendron in the late spring.
