Hungry Mother State Park

Hungry Mother State Park is a Virginia state park campground in Southwest Virginia, and it is one of the parks our guides cover only through its verified spec record rather than a full write-up, so we will keep this candid and practical. What the record shows is a public campground with a mix of hookup levels: some sites with no hookups, some with electric and water, and some full-hookup sites, at nightly rates between $27 and $48. That range makes it a value-minded base for RVers working the southwestern corner of the state rather than a resort stay.

Why RVers stay here

Hungry Mother State Park is a Virginia state park campground in Southwest Virginia, and it is one of the parks our guides cover only through its verified spec record rather than a full write-up, so we will keep this candid and practical. What the record shows is a public campground with a mix of hookup levels: some sites with no hookups, some with electric and water, and some full-hookup sites, at nightly rates between $27 and $48. That range makes it a value-minded base for RVers working the southwestern corner of the state rather than a resort stay.

Rig fit is exact-site here, not a blanket maximum; the inventory includes sites that take rigs up to 50 feet, but you must match your measured length to the individual site record. Reservations open up to 11 months ahead through the Virginia State Parks system, and the published rate depends on both service level and whether you are a Virginia resident, with a $5 transaction fee and tax added on top. The trade-off is simply that we cannot vouch for the on-the-ground experience yet; check the official park page for seasonal services, amenities and any alerts before you commit.

  • Public-park pricing of $27 to $48 a night, with full-hookup sites available for those who want sewer
  • Site inventory that includes pads up to 50 feet, unusual for a state park

  • !RV fit is exact-site; the 50-foot figure applies only to specific sites, not the whole campground
