About

Home to the 200-foot-tall natural limestone arch that gives the park its name, Natural Bridge also offers more than 10 miles of hiking trails, a disc golf course, and International Dark Sky Park stargazing programs. Overnight camping is limited to Blue Hollow, a small, primitive, tents-only area with three group sites, a shared picnic shelter, and a fire pit - there are no RV sites or hookups, and vehicles cannot reach the campsites.
