Dry Camping Blue Ridge Parkway in Oct
I am in a 21' MH and don't need hookups. Will I be OK going down the BRP third week in Oct without reservations? I HATE making them and rarely do. I want to stay in the National Park or Forest site...

We would like to travel the brp the first of Dec with a 28 foot mh heading south. Anyone know what conditions are at that time.
I would be very cautious about traveling the BRP that time of year. What that really means is watch the weather and be ready to bail....
We did our first run of the BRP in the spring (April) and it was still winter at the higher elevations (4~6Kft). It is not a road to be on when things get slippery. Being from Vermont, I am sure you know about slippery roads, but this is not in river valleys. Pick a bad memory of a little number road like 12 or 14 and now put it up at 4000 ft.
You can do this, but as said, be ready to hold for weather or bail off to lower and better roads. If you do make it, it will be a treasured memory.
