This campground is just lovely. I loved hearing the creek while sleeping. The host family were gems, everyone of them. The only thing that could be improved is if it were to have a shower. That would be nice.

Had a great time at Backbone Rock. Nice little campground with easy but interesting hikes, pretty river, and 5 minutes to Damascus. Campground is right along a road but it was not noticeable other than the occasional motorcycle during the day, at night its quiet and in general the river drowns out the road. Nice clean bathrooms well maintained by the hosts. No electricity or water at the sites but water & firewood is available for the campground.
Stayed at site 7 in a Hybrid camper. Only drawback was the light from the restrooms, but site 5 and lower would avoid that issue.

Very close to the road, but it is a lightly traveled road and the sound of the stream behind the campground makes for a very peaceful sound falling asleep. The only drawback is there are no shower facilities at this campground.

The campground was very clean. It is only 3 miles from Damascus, Va.

Having grown up in Damascus it is great to see how nice they have BackBone again. It is a relaxing get away with wonderful sites. If you have never camped here and taken a shuttle from Damascus to ride down the Creeper Trail, you NEED to add that to your bucket list.
