2026 Great American Campout by the Natural Bridge

June 26 @ 4:00 pm - June 27 @ 10:00 am

$60
  • « First Fridays – Meredith Peverill & Sarah-Faith Strait
  • Downtown Lynchburg Walking Ghost Tour »

Camp out by the Natural Bridge and spend the night on Cedar Creek Trail. Rangers will be on hand to help you get your gear on the trail and your campsite set up, followed by a camp cooking demonstration led by guides from Walkabout Outfitters at Cedar Creek pavilion. At sunset, rangers will lead an owl prowl on the trail and let you meet some of the residents of the park after dark. First thing in the morning, help yourself to a grab-and-go breakfast from the pavilion and eat anywhere along Cedar Creek trail. 

It is a tight squeeze on Cedar Creek trail, so space is limited! Only 6 people per campsite. The program is $60 per campsite, which includes park admission, the camp cooking demonstration with dinner, and breakfast. 

Pre-registration is required; you can register by calling (540) 254-0795.

Check-in begins at 4:00 p.m. and goes until 6:00 p.m.; after-hour check ins will need to set up a time to check in by calling (540) 254-0795. All camping equipment must be off the trail by 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 27th.

Questions? Call (540) 254-0795 to speak with a ranger.
