I've been looking for places to take my travel trailer recently. Two weeks ago we went to The Cove Campround in Gore, VA which was awesome. Fishing, shooting range, swimming, and all around a good experience.Anyone know of any places along the Potomac or Shenandoah that would be similar? I don't mind VA, WVA, or PA, but I try to avoid MD whenever possible. We're looking for places to fish, swim, and if possible shoot. I just really want to avoid the clear cut, you park here, this is your "camping" spot.Ideas? I looked in this thread, but didn't see much for this area so hopefully others can find this useful too.

Have you looked at the VA Campground Association website?http://www.virginiacampgrounds.com/Also, state parks are a good place to go, have reasonable rates and many offer full hook ups.Virginia State Parks with RV Accomodations http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/recreational-vehiclesWest Virginia State Park Campinghttp://www.wvstateparks.com/lodging/camping.htm#campg

Parks with fishing,swimming, hiking boating & a variety of other activities are everywhere, but Not really sure you're going to find many with shooting, especially not State Parks or Federal Parks.

I don't mind VA, WVA, or PA, but I try to avoid MD whenever possible. To each his own, but if you're 62, Maryland State Parks allow even out-of-state residents to get free day use & half-price camping Sun-Thurs with its $10 Senior Pass. That's a better deal than my own state gives me, and the parks I've tried have been pretty good, although maybe not for shooting.

Curious as to why do you try to avoid MD? The state parks here are pretty **** nice....

I was going to suggest Point Lookout SP in Md, especially if you can go during the week when the "hoards" from NoVa are not there. It's a great place.
