The trip report

Written by a former member

We were fortunate, again, in that the weather turned so that our last night was such that we were able to finally have a cook out--marinated chicken, grilled vegtables and salad.  It was a bit chilly, but sunny enough to make it worth our while.

When the sun went down so did the temperatures but since the winds had dropped way off to just a breeze it was enough to have a jacket or blanket and sit by the fires to enjoy the trip so far as well as the two hiking trips we had taken.

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
