Camp Karma is a primitive campground located on 42 acres in the beautiful region of Bedford, Virginia. We are located in the north western region of Virginia, conveniently located between Roanoke and Lynchburg. We off 37 primitive campsites which are primarily for tent campers, but there are some sites available for small campers up to 25 feet. We are offering a back to nature approach to camping and family enjoyment. The campground borders on 2100 feet of Goose Creek where you can fish and swim. We also have a pond which was stocked a year ago and will eventually offer fishing. Camp Karma is also conveniently located just 5 miles from Smith Mountain Lake and 3 miles from Downtown Moneta.
