Virginia...Virginia Beach etc.

I'm heading south out of Atlantic City towards Knoxville, TN in early October. No rush...plenty of time to visit sites along the way. Can't decide whether to go down the east coast thru Virginia Beach or head more west from Atlantic City to the Skyline Drive area of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Is Virginia Beach a nice place to visit in October? Cool? Windy? Is it a "touristy" area like Myrtle Beach...mini golf, go carts, etc.?

    I would stay at Shenandoah River State Park. No sewer hook ups but sites that are long enough for your rig. Wonderful place and close to Skyline Drive.


    x2 on ShenRiver SP. We've stayed there a couple times - nice place. Other than
    11 & 12 Oct it looks like good availability.

    The only problem may be that VA state parks don't let us make site-specific
    reservations.

    Last time we were at SRSP, the gate agent told us to just drive around and
    pick whatever site we wanted. We ended up in an okay site, but some
    folks with a class A who came in later were squeezed into a small site because
    a guy in a PUP decided to take the largest pull thru that would have accommodated
    a rock star bus.
