LURAY, Va. — The Page County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing Tuesday to discuss a proposed campground in the Naked Creek area.
The proposal has already sparked concerns among nearby residents, who cite potential noise and light pollution, impacts on wildlife and the environment, and safety issues for both residents and visitors.
The hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. July 14, 2026 in the Board of Supervisors meeting room on the second floor of the Page County Government Center, 103 S. Court Street.
