Fall Truck Camper Trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway???

Anyone planning a truck camper trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway this Fall? We are about 50/50 committed to going sometime during the last couple of weeks in Oct. Will likely stay on the southern end of the Parkway (Cherokee to Virginia Stateline).

  • two years ago we took our TC up to the Grove Park Inn in Asheville and saw the entries for the National Gingerbread Competition. It was fabulous - even if you are thinking "Meh, doesn't sound like anything I want to see", it will amaze you and draw your interest.

    We arrived early, with a reservation, for their breakfast buffet. Lovely morning.

    Thanks for the invite, but we are planning on going to a BABYMETAL concert that same week.

    Always enjoy the fall colors along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

    We have tent camped along the parkway many times years past and more recently been visiting the same camp grounds with our OFF-ROAD POPUP setup.. The southern end of the parkway in the NC areas are great...

  • Brad,

    Make sure you eat at Piscah Inn. CG is across road from Inn.If you want to staying at inn is nice also.
    Peaks Of Otter is the best for food and a place to stay.CG is also near.
    Very romantic drive and places to stay even for a couple like us who are over 52 years.
  • We'll see the early high peak colors near Asheville on way to OX 2014. Would have been good to meet up with ya, but we'll be way north the 2nd week of Oct...
