Blueridge Parkway Campgrounds
We camped in two different campgrounds on the Blueridge Parkway this weekend and had two different experiences. The first one was Julian Price Campground. Beautiful area. Campground needs updatin...

Totally agree with Julian Price being let go and run down. everything needs maint, and JP gets very little of it.
We still go there every now and then, and have learned which loops to stay in, and which we can't. When we had the pup, it wasn't a problem. but now due to our size, there are only 4 or 5 sites we can squeeze into. If we can't reserve one we like online we don't go.
Linville is very nice. But we have the same problem there as well. The Blue ridge Parkway Campgrounds were not really designed for large RVs.
You should have no issues at Linville with your TT. Our Class C is nearly 33' long and there were only a handful of sites we wouldn't be able to stay in or didn't want to stay in. Our site was slated for 28' maximum length, but as you can see, we fit just fine. While we were able to put the back end of the MH over the end of the site a couple feet, we still had several feet in front of it. I called the campground to ask if there was enough room to over hang and they told me yes. The sites on "A" loop (before you get to the hill) were our favorite. They aren't shaded (as much of the campground isn't), but they are way better than JP. I do agree, JP is much better suited for small rigs like pop-ups, small TT's and small MH's. I would say anything less than 25', then you should be ok.
At JP there are a few sites in E loop we fit in.
At Linville. We would need a double park site like you had. Need to park the TV as well. The last time we were there we let the old TT hang over the end. Problem with this one is. It sits so low, the jacks won't clear the stone curb. But I know there are sites we will fit in, and DW wants to go there. However it will prolly be next year, as my work will keep me busy weekends until the end of Oct. We will have to see about the weather then.
BTW. I am taking a day off to go to Tom Johnson Campground Oct 16. You should give it a shot, I believe you would like it. Site so level all you need to do it level front to back, and very large as well.
