Good RV campsites near I-77 & I-81 (Vir)

Planning to travel from Columbia, SC via I-77 & I-81 to Carlisle, PA.
However, wondering if there is a less traveled route on a federal/state highway to miss car/truck congestion and large population centers. Not interested in the Blue Ridge Parkway. Also would like to miss mountains.
Thank you in advance.

    We have stayed overnight twice at Claytor Lake State Park. Nice for an overniter. Not far off I-81 and there is a gas station with easy in and out for RV's right off the exit.

    Fort Chiswell is also our stopping point. No need to unhook. In and out real quick plus there is room to walk your dog.

    quick on and off I-77 as soon as you drive up the mountain. 25 miles of so from the I-77/I-81 connection.

    Clayton Lake State Park, Exit 101 off I-81, 20 miles north of 77/81 intersect, quick on/off, about 5-6 miles south.

    We have stayed at Shenandoah Acres Family Campground, Stuarts Draft, VA, on the way up 81. We enjoyed it. We also enjoyed Fries New River Trail RV Park, in Fries, VA - but it's about 45 minutes of of 77.
