Montebello Camping & Fishing Resort


Montebello Camping & Fishing Resort offers many types of outdoor recreation, camping, a trout fishing pond and many hiking trails in the area. You will go through a winds, twists, and climbs up to the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains at Montebello. It is said that this road was once an old Indian trail that connected present day Nelson County with Steele’s Tavern in Augusta County two hundred years ago.

Also, Crabtree Falls, the highest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi River is a popular hiking trail and located near Montebello.

I've been here before and enjoyed this trip just as much. We came for the Drumheller's Orchard Apple Festival and wine, brew, and distillery hopping on

This campground has rather tight turns and if you have a motorcoach or a 5th wheel or TT over 30' you will have difficulty. I will not say impossible, but you will need help getting in and getting out.  During this trip a friend dinged his truck backing up his 5th wheel and another had issues with his motorcoach. I've obviously camped here in Stella (20') and StellaToo (28') and was able to get in and out with little difficulty.


Their cell service is still non existent. There is no getting around this fact, and should you need to be reached, they will need to call the campground to come get you.

I was here 10/16/14 - 10/19/14 and will probably return.
