Boatless,
we do this trip 4 to 5 times a year Now we live in Ct near the NY border... but Coming down 84 into Hartford is no big deal..in less than 15 minutes you will be thru it....less traffic then 495 going thru Lowell...so do 84 to Newburgh ,NY..go south on I-87 to Sufferin,NY..there pickup 287 west/south to I-78 it is 45 miles ..go I-78 west to I-81...nice ride ..then 81 west..to I-66 near Front Royal,Va...go on 66 for 25 miles to RT 17 toward Warrenton,Va,do the by-pas and stay on 17 all the way to 95 in Spotavanynia...then to your destination....
As for campgrounds..there is Western Village in Carslile ,Pa..or if you want to go more there is Falling Waters campsite in Falling Waters W Va..exit 23 off 81...or another 30-40 miles is Candy Hill in Winchester ,Va
Any questions ,just ask away..Chuck

how is Route 84 in CT? It looks very near Hartford. Is there any other way to avoid Hartford?
I84 west to I91 south to I691 west back to I84 is shorter, better road and way less traffic. Heading east the signage sends you that way as an alternate rout.

I66 east and then US17. For me 17 is good all the way.
I take 684 to 287 and miss the city, it is shorter but 684 is falling apart so your way is maybe just as good.

WAY out of the way: You could take 81 all the way to 66 then to 17 into Fredericksburg area.
Less out of the way: 15 through Point of Rocks into VA and continue to 17
270/495/95 would be most direct but more traffic.
