I am starting a 5 day 1700mile trip on Monday 5/15. Will primarily be following the BRP up to Shenandoah Valley. I'm looking for any advice on places to camp. The best spots and the ones to avoid on the BRP. Thanks in advance!
Willville is a great place.True Grip said:I liked willville campground at Meadows of Dan, VA. Mile marker 177
It's motorcycles only and friendly hosts who build a big fire every night. Interesting conversation around the fire mostly bike related.
Crabtree used to have a very nice restaurant just off the Parkway, closed now so eat at Mt Mitchell if you roll up the mountain.mbabc said:I've motorcycle camped at Crabtree Falls on the BRP. Great spot. Lots of private places all along it too.
I worked for a short time in Bat cave, NC Crabby Bills restaurant some beautiful country. I would ride my GL 1100 along Gerton Hwy after work to unwind, last time I went threw that town Crabby Bills was washed out by a flood of the Broad River.wtwill said:Well I am back home from my trip. Thanks for all the info guys. I camped Monday night at Crabtree Falls. It was clean and quiet until the whippoorwill at 5AM. I ate lunch on Tuesday at 13 Bones in Mount Airy, NC. Best meatloaf I've ever had. Hotel in Waynesboro, VA Tuesday night. The highlight of my trip was lunch on Wednesday at The Floyd Country Store in Floyd, VA. Cool little store with live folk music on the weekends and good sandwiches. I camped Wednesday night at Linville Falls. It too was clean and quiet with no whippoorwill. Traffic was no problem on the parkway. More traffic near Ashville than anywhere. I can now check that one off my bucket list.
