Roanoke Mountain Campground on the Blue Ridge Parkway along the Mill Mountain Spur Road (milepost 120.4) has sites for 74 tents and 31 trailers (3 sites are handicap-accessible). Facilities include water, comfort stations with flush toilets and sinks but no showers or hook-ups.

The scenic road over Roanoke Mountain (milepost 120.3) is a 4-mile one-way loop road that affords stunning views of Roanoke, Roanoke Valley, and Mill Mountain (sorry, no trailers allowed). Scattered at the convenient overlooks and parking areas are picnic tables and short, scenic leg-stretchers.
