Rock Castle Gorge, a 1,500-foot (457 m) ravine carved by the waters of Rock Castle Creek, is the focal point of this trail, offering hikers breathtaking scenery. </p>
<p><strong>Black Ridge Trail</strong>:  a moderate 3-mile loop passing through the forest on a seldom-used gravel road and through a meadow.  Accessed from the Rocky Knob Visitor Center.</p>
<p>Numerous tours and interpretive talks are given near the Gorge and surrounding trails during the summer, offering campers the chance to learn more about the area's historical significance and abundant plants and wildlife.</p>

Both RV and tent sites are available, each equipped with picnic tables, lantern poles, and fire rings/grills--perfect for picnics, barbecues or late night s'mores.  <br><br>The campground almost always has campsites available. In addition to the 44 sites available for advanced reservation, 62 campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.  Availability of the first come, first served sites cannot be tracked through Recreation.gov.

<h2>Natural Features</h2>
The Blue Ridge Parkway is a scenic byway that stretches almost 500 miles along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains through North Carolina and Virginia.  It offers plenty of natural attractions and recreational opportunities for visitors, as well as a cross-section of Appalachian mountain history from pre-historic times to early European settlements, and on to today.   

Rocky Knob Campground, one of the first established sites along the Blue Ridge Parkway, is home to several famous geological attractions. Rock Castle Gorge, known for its beautiful rock crystalline quartz formations, was once home to several mountain families.  Visitors can still find remnants of their old apple orchards and abandoned stone chimneys along parkway trails.

  
<h2>Nearby Attractions</h2>
<p>The nearby town of <strong>Floyd </strong>offers entertainment, shopping, food, gas and lodging.  There are also multiple wineries nearby that offer tours and tastings.  <br><br>Visit  <strong>Mabry Mill</strong>  at milepost 176 near Meadows of Dan, Virginia.    <br><br>The campground is about 30 miles from <strong>Mount Airy, North Carolina</strong>, the birthplace of actor Andy Griffith and the inspiration for the fictional TV-series town of Mayberry.  Mount Airy also offers grocery stores, gas stations and medical facilities.</p>
