Be careful not to use the Rt 43 to Buchanan side to I81 because of hairpin curves. I have seen many RVs hung up on the curves and have to be towed out. The Bedford side is better but curvy.

The easiest route to get back if traveling south is to get off the parkway at Peaks of Otter and follow Rt 43 to Bedford and pick up US 460 west toward Roanoke. You will intersect the parkway about 15 miles toward Roanoke.

If traveling from the south, reverse the north directions. Be aware that the climb up the mountain on 43 to Peaks of Otter is rather steep with quite a few turns.
