Destinations Around Roanoke VA

Postby mcubberley » Sun Aug 20, 2017 5:39 pm

Hello. I am looking for suggestions for campgrounds for a long weekend trip in the fall out of Roanoke VA. It's going to be the first trip out for the tear for me and the wife. I used the camp as a kid but the wife is pretty new but a good sport. I am looking for something pretty but not a massive challenge to get to. I like wooded parks and am ok with private or public parks. I have looked at places in the Jefferson national forest and also considered Fairy Stone state park and campgrounds on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Electric sites would probably be a good idea for the first trip out. I am thinking a couple/three hour trip might be a reasonable travel time. Thoughts? Places I should look up?

Thanks in advance folks.
Some day I will figure out something to put here. But for now....

Also nice. Lived near there much earlier.

Douthat State Park

My son lives just south of there. Used to fish there years ago.

Hear is a link showing places south of you.
I stayed at Grindstone 2 years ago. Also nice.

Good luck.
