When we visited, we loved sampling the soft pretzel and beer cheese. It was an instant hit!
And keep your eye out for seasonal offerings. Their Oktoberfest beer is a real crowd-pleaser!
Another thing that sets Devil's Backbone Basecamp apart...
...is the option to stay the night at their on-site campground. Yep. We said this is a brewery campground in Virginia!
The spacious campground features 25 full RV hookup sites, 22 standard non-electric sites, and 24 primitive tent sites.
The campground is convenient too. Devil's Backbone Basecamp is just five miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail. In fact, in an effort to support outdoor recreation, camping for Appalachian Trail thru-hikers is free for one night.
