220 N. Roanoke Va to Clifton Forge VA
Visiting wifes family this summer. Puliing our 5th wheel. Just wondering how is the route. Best I can remember it is not too bad. Thanks.

- Great highway as said and only a small two lane stretch which is not a problem. Douthat State Park is in the vicinity and is one of the parks many others in the country have been modeled after so if you have a chance slip up there for a visit.
Douthat State Park - Thanks. I have been that way several times but never pulling anything. I just wanted to make sure i was not missing anything. We are planning to stay in Clifton Forge @ Buckhorn CG. Wife has family all around the Craig's Creek area.
- We prefer this route. You avoid mountains/hills. Easy drive.
- 220 is a great road. You shouldn't have any problems. I've driven it in an 18 wheeler and it was an enjoyable drive. The scenery is great and you might get to see some freight trains. There really isn't anything in between Fincastle and Clifton Forge so don't expect to stop for fuel or food in that stretch.
- From Roanoke to Eagle Rock its four lane, then its two lane from Eagle Rock to Clifton Forge. Every time I have been on it the traffic has been pretty light. It does see more traffic the closer you are to Roanoke and I81.
- Have never been on that end of 220, but looking at Google map street view, looks like a nice road.
