The trip report

Written by a former member

the storms and relatively warm weather that cleared that morning soon changed back to rainy, blustery, and chilly conditions.  We spent a good amount of time that second evening playing cards that afternoon before making dinner (steak with a mushroom mustard heavy cream sauce) veggies and home made biscuits. We took our showers and headed to bed to read.

It eventually got down to 35 degrees that night but the furnace the in camper kept us warm in the camper and it was a joy not having to go outside in that cold, rain and wind to go to the bathroom.  That alone is worth the cost of a trailer!!

About this event

Don’t have a tent, sleeping bag or mattress?  Don’t worry, I have extra tents, sleeping pads and bags.

Join us for a relaxing time camping (or rent a rustic cabin) in Shenandoah National Park just 2 hours from DC and 2-1/2 from Richmond!  Bring your marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate for s'mores.  Wake up to the smell of bacon cooking in the crisp mountain air. 

We’ll be camping at Lewis Mountain Campground, just off Skyline Drive, Mile Marker (MM) 57.  There is a camp store for showers, food and snacks so this isn’t primitive camping by any means!

Camping fees are $15/night per site so it will be divided by numbers of attendees each night. 

This is a first come-first served campground so I won't know the exact campsite until I get there but will post it to all attendees once I have the campsite.  I'll have a 2018 Burgundy Honda Ridgeline and a Rockwell Roo camper
