We scored a very nice site overlooking the mountains in Shenandoah National Park. Plan to ride out the Memorial Day Holiday here.
Loft Mountain - National Park Campground, near Elkton, VA: Site #A60 (155 RV sites total) - This site has: water nearby. Campground Notes: flush toilets • showers • dump station available • trails from campground • trails nearby • 3,370’ elevation. May 19th - 26th.
Overall Experience:
At Loft Mountain, we were fortunate to have a campsite that overlooked the Appalachian Trail. From our campsite, we cooked hamburgers and offered them to hikers. We ended up with a ten-person thru-hiker trail magic party. They were quite excited about fresh fruit, burgers, and chips. A few of the lucky earlier ones got beer and ice cream too!!
It's fun to come across a bear while hiking.
Local Flavor – Area Businesses We Enjoyed & Recommend
• Blue Mountain Brewery Very enjoyable patio dining area with scenic views.
Our Travel Preferences
We generally like to travel without reservations and prefer public camping opportunities over commercial RV parks. Occasionally we make exceptions — however, not often. We're okay with dry-camping & boondocking, but sometimes hookups are nice. We also enjoy the unique overnight stops that Harvest Hosts has to offer. These preferences are the foundation for our "Overall Experience" ratings. A "yellow smiley face" doesn't necessarily mean that there's a pool or jacuzzi or whatever, but rather a stopover that we thoroughly enjoyed. While a "yellow neutral face" isn't a bad thing, we didn't get as excited about the campground as others. We think a "yellow frowny face" speaks for itself.
Fun in Central Oregon
We are not traveling as much as previously, so the hashtag "Fun in Central Oregon" will feature some of the local activities we do regularly at our 'home base', such as hiking, festivals, and other outdoor events. Road trips, camping, & RV travel will retain the original format.
