Will be traveling the entire length of Skyline Drive and BRP, with our Pleasure Way Excel. We prefer public Forests and Parks. We have 3 weeks in May for this section of our trip. We us the ultimate camp grounds app. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Is it true that the term "boondocking" derives from Daniel Boone's adventures in the Blue Ridge Mtns? (No, but that ought to be the origin!!)Some day, we will get to the BRP -- I am told that the food and the music are phenomenal.

We are staying at Price Park in May. We haven't camped there before but I'm familiar with the area from my undergrad days. It's very close to Blowing Rock, Boone, Grandfather Mountain and not too far from Linville Falls. Some sites you can reserve and some are first come first serve. The reviews I read are favorable. Hope this helps.

Right now there are fires in the Shenandoah National Park and a few days ago they closed part of Skyline Drive. Hopefully they will get some rain to help, but there is also increased danger of lightning with storms. Just be aware and check news sources.Dale

All of the Blue Ridge Parkway campgrounds are open by May 6.In a different lifetime (was a tent camper) I've camped in all of them except Otter Creek. And I enjoyed them all, for different reasons. My favorite was Crabtree Fall - which use to be called Crabtree Meadows.Tom
