Blue Ridge Parkway RV Camping!
Blue Ridge Parkway RV Camping!
A sort of national park to connect two national parks, the Blue Ridge Parkway is the quintessential Appalachian Mountain backroad drive. A winding two-lane road that hugs the rolling hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, from Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park to the Great Smoky Mountains, the Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the most enjoyable, scenic routes this nation has to offer.

We drove the Blue Ridge Parkway a number years ago. Would like the take the 5th wheel.
Why do I feel as if you have never driven the BRP? Everything you said sounded as if it was second hand information. Many sights worth seeing were not even mentioned.
The signs tells everybody all about it in the USA
Awsome Vid, Thank you for the Info
rving is not camping. lol
Dude Perfect
Thanks for the great review and video.
This is a great summary of RV stops along the blue ridge for those who want to road trip. Thank you
Thanks for the vid. We’ve been staying near the Blue Ridge Pkwy since May and stayed at Stone Mtn SP yesterday and Linville Falls NPCG right now. We’ll have to check out more of your suggestions further north. It is also worth noting that there are several low clearance tunnels on the south end near Great Smokey NP that are not passable by most RVs.
great area to ride motorcycles
Be prepared for extreme Interstate highway noise at Wilson Riverside Camp! The riverside feature in its name is minor, I-26 should be instead.
👍
Thanks for sharing
Loved the great information but puzzled just a bit why Stone Mountain Park was included ? It’s a long way from The Blue Ridge Pky.
I love to watch you!!! I save most of the videos. We bought a Thor Axis 25 ft motorhome and I’m "itching" to go East where I’ve never been.
NC my homestate
No Mt Pisgah Campground? Not cool…
Appalachian is pronounced Ap-uhh-latch-chun and not Ap-uhh-lay-chun! There is no "LAY" in the name! Just wanted to clear that up since I hear it mispronounced all the time. It’s mostly Yankees that mispronounce it! You also might want to mention Julian Price CG has no hook ups and you missed Pisgah CG south of Asheville. It’s also no hook ups.
Great video! Thank you
I love the Blue Ridge Parkway! My journey last month (September) through next month (November) highlights the Blue Ridge Parkway in some detail, from Floyd Va to Stone Mountain State park, both of which you mentioned. We camped at Rocky Knob and Doughton Park, which are both dry camping, federal campgrounds, … quiet and beautiful. You do such a great job of sharing the best places for big rigs and you are spot on with Stone Mountain State Park. The federal campgrounds are older and more friendly to smaller rigs, although I have seen some pretty big fifth wheels in a few sites. I look forward to your videos, and thank you for sharing them!
Bears could be anywhere.
Love the channel! BTW…it’s the "App-Uh-Latch-un" mountains 😉
Thank You so much for the suggestions
One of the many reasons we opt for ‘small’ camper with less than 10 foot clearance. Some 5ers and class A would have quite the nervous trip thru these tunnels, one which is 10′ 6" at the edge of the road thru the tunnel. The CENTER of the tunnels are pretty decent heights, but in some you would need to hog the center line thru a 700 foot long tunnel to keep from knocking off the corner of your rig’s roof. https://www.blueridgeparkway.org/tunnels/
My Wife, Dog and I have done the whole Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway Mountains. Another good Parkway for you to RV is the Natchez Trace Parkway in Mississippi up to Tennessee. We’ll see you around the campfire. And God bless you and yours
Another great video!!! Thanks so much for sharing with us!!!
Thanks for the review and info! We did this part of this route last year.
Wondered about the camping on the BR. Glad you presented this. Thanks!!
It starts in Front Royal, VA
We are heading up to Skyland Drive in Shenandoah National Park for some cabin camping in two weeks. Always go up the first week of Oct. If we can get the 5th wheel next spring then we will be doing it with that. Sweet… But we enjoy the national park. Many great places to see and hike. One day we will plan on traveling down towards the Smokies.
I like your KYD hat! Cross promo 🙂
Thanks for doing a review of parks east of the Mississippi.
Boy are you right about some of the switchback trying to get off the BlueRidge parkway. Near the VA /NC border. Unfortunately they are not well marked and we ventured down one that was a driving disaster & I was in the car!! Narrow,winding,tree&rock overhangs and road was being resurfaced. Glad I was not pulling the TT down that hill.
What about Mt. Pisgah campground?
Love it!!!
Cannot do camping along a 469 mile drive justice in a 5 minute video, and you don’t even mention anything south of Ashville, such as Mt Pisgah campground (one of eight that are actually on the parkway), or several others not far off the parkway.
We stayed at Wilson’s in Asheville, and Crabtree Falls campgrounds in September 2019. HIGHLY recommend both!!!
Lol don’t let anyone from the Appalachian area hear you pronounce it like that. I used to say it your way till I moved here in Bristol. I just about got cursed out over the pronunciation. Lol it’s pronounced “ Apple atcha”. Lol. I’ve video.
Tennessee is beautiful. Glad its my home .
No prices? How hard a reservation, what restrictions. Drove my van and it was crazy tight turns. Almost empty of content. Tight rds trailer parks,ect. Did I cover it?
Where is the boondocking????
