We have done the BLUERIDGE parkway twice now from one end to the other (VA to TN)... They are mostly geared for TENT CAMPING but have a lot of regular trailers in them... There is a camp ground roughly every 50 miles along the parkway.
My OFF-ROAD POPUP setup always looks good there. I am wanting to do same thing all around of the Natl Forest camping areas south of Gatlingburg in the NC Areas...
We enjoy the places we can get too in a day or maybe a two day trip. Just too expensive to do the cross country things for us... Beats us up big time and something always breaks down in the worse possible place...
We go the Myrtle Beach area at LAKEWOOD every year for a quick few days family reunion. Enjoy that area really well. We have family that lives on LAKEWOOD... Then of course on the way back to Virginia we always go through the high country of NC and Smoky Mtns and on up I81 back to the home site in Northern Neck Virginia...
Even Southwest parts Virginia has many real nice camping locations. Our next local state camping visit is going to include Douthat State Park which is a state park located in the Allegheny Mountains in Virginia. This one is nestled between two mountains on a very large lake... For some unknown reason we have never camped there and just recently been looking at camp ground photos of it... Its near MILLBORO, VA.
We will leave all the long distance places to the RV TRAVELERS I reckon... We would just rather setup camp on a bubbling brook somewhere near closeby...
Have never camped north of Virginia as well... I know there is bunch of our style of camping in close by northern MD and PA high country areas... Might even give CAMP DAVID a try one of these days... Understand the south portion is open to public camping...
