It really depends on where you decide to park.
The closest place to park is at the end of Virginia State Road 605, also known as CC Camp Lane. State Road 605 is gravel and turns into mostly dirt near the campground parking area which is not too far past where state road maintenance ends. State Road 605 is directly off Virginia State Highway 8 which runs from Stuart, Virginia from the South to Floyd, VA on the North.
Other locations to park are along the Blue Ridge Parkway as follows:
Rocky Knob Campground - Milepost 167
The Saddle Overlook - Milepost 168
The Rock Castle Gorge Overlook - Milepost 168.7
The Rocky Knob Visitor Center - Milepost 169
The Twelve O'clock Overlook - Milepost 169
The Blue Ridge Parkway runs from close to Waynesboro, VA (Milepost 1) on the North to close to Cherokee, NC (Milepost 469) on the South, Virginia Highway 8 provides the closest access to this area of the Parkway at Milepost 165.
