- A very detailed review of the campground because there are some very poor site to be considered if your going. And there are some very good ones. I loved mine at E5, Hope you get a chance to visit... more info below !!
Nice lush park with accommodations for all types of campers :) Looking forward to Part II . . . thanks, Rick!
Part 2 is better, and 3 is good too. I just feel obligated to review the campgrounds for anyone who is interested. Thanks for watching !
I look forward to the Parkway video. Love the Parkway. My grandfather helped build it for a dollar per day during the CCC days.
Wow, $1 per day, he must have been a supervisor. I was there when they finished the Linville Viaduct. It was so cool. But its one very slow route in august and September... There is a lot of road rage on the parkway !! LOL Thanks for the comment
Great campground! Can’t wait for the second part! Thank you for sharing!
Their Coming !! Lots of stuff to show for this area ! Thanks for the comment !
Great job. This makes it much easier choosing a campground or a campsite.
Great, Glad to hear it. I Always try to share what I see and enjoy. Stop back anytime ! Thanks for the comment !
Loopy De Lou! LOL! Lot a loopin in this one.
Took a trip years ago thru the
B/R Parkway with my parents was blown away by it's beauty!
Nice cruise Rick Thanks
Well, stay tuned, the best is yet to come...... some much great stuff to do, had to break this one up into 3 parts...
One of my favorite place I have ever been. Went all the way through . Virginia wasn't a toll road at the time. I loved it Stayed in Blowing Rock couple of days.
I guess only the relatively short section of the Skyline Drive is toll. From I-64 south it is free. When I was there 3 years ago it was very tick populated.. spent a good part of the evening picking them off my boys !
Great video like always. Have a great fathers day wknd.
Same to you ! We may go for a long drive and look for Mayberry !! LOL
Love your channel
Thanks !! Some days are better than others... Stay tuned for some of the better ones !! LOL
Thanks for the comment !
Great place but the roads!! Lots of info! Thanks for share!
I think they maybe planning on paving them this year after the season. They did pave the A-loop last year. But those showers are really nice when your ready to need one !!
Roads are worn out since this is an old campground. If you drive a truck or a Jeep those roads are just great 😉
Looking for a new route between family in Florida and St. Louis, I tried going up through the Carolinas and across the smokies on I40. This April I was told that the Parkway wa closed in many places. Next trip, I hope to travel part of it. This looks like a great place to stay with my Aliner. Thank you!
The Linville Viaduct was closed in April. It was the first bit of resurfacing and repair they have done on it since they built it in 1978. So it needed it and they did a good job. To my knowledge the entire section in NC is open. Virginia is the Skyline Drive and is toll. That will never be an area I review.. LOL And yes, lots of great places to Aliner and then explore the areas within 50 miles... Keep watching and I'll show you what was just around this area !!
Well, it's a National Park Service campground, so yeah, the roads & facilities are not gonna be at an RV 'resort' level, for $20 a night. But that's what you go there for.
Oh ya, Not complaining, but I want to let people know that if they bring that $280,000 50ft rig, they may be in trouble or it may get a ding or scratch.
@@GoingNoWhereFast Totally. That's why our RV is less than 10 ft high, and a shade under 20 ft long. Blue Ridge Pkwy tunnels would be a nightmare for some of those rigs!
@@silaslongshot941 You see them on there though! Fools with too much money (or Credit)
I live in Virginia, near Fancy Gap. I am in Hillsville, Mother grew up near Mabry Mill. No toll roads here, that is back in Richmond area and toward the ocean!!! Virginia parkway is cooler, whereas the North Carolina side in Hot and muggy. Enjoy with caution, and respect!!!!
Thanks for sharing! Have a great Thanksgiving !
Well I thought this part one was interesting! We all want to see the bathroom accommodations...be safe out there!🌷🚍
Some people are bathroom people, some people deny every having to go !! LOL... either way, its a big part of the cost !! So I'm showing you what you pay for !! Part 2 maybe the best, coming up next ! Thanks for the comment.
Looking forward to part 2. Did I see a bike following your vehicle ?
I had my Mountain bike on the back, if that's what your talking about. I was going to ride down Beech Mountain, but they wouldn't let me. So I went riding by myself and possibly broke my femur in a major crash. Probably won't be riding again for a few weeks at least !!
Yes that is what I was referring to. I enjoy biking but I'm not brave enough to ride in the mountains !! Thats why I asked. Sorry to hear about youe injuries.
Rick, did you have Dakota with you? And you mentioned that 1 site was no pets? What is the pet policy down there in NC? I know in NY, its pets everywhere unless otherwise specified. Here in PA where I live now, its pets only IF specified. And with 2 gsds, we can only go to state parks or boondocking as the private places all discriminate against our "vicious" dogs. 😉🤔
No, Dakota wanted to stay with his girl friend. And I wanted to ride my bike. So I went alone. Ya, there were sites in the campground that were stipulated "Tent Only" or "RV only" and a few were "No Pets". And I don't remember why, but I thin k because they were next to a major trail, or the swimming area, or some reason. The campground is "Pet Friendly", and there were plenty of dogs there. Ya.. PA Has some wierd ideas about having "Dog areas" in their campgrounds. Since my dogs are so well behaved (They never bark unless told to) I just don't mention that they are with me. We usually are gone from the campground from sunup to sunset. So its not easy to tell if I have mine. But they are very well trained, better than most Police K9's. Thanks for the comments
Funny how everyone wants to make a video look at me
People are bored, and they want to interact with others. Social media takes many forms, and video allows for a full expression of thought and experience. Its good ! Thanks for the comment !
