RE: I 81 VA cg for overnight suggestion
Think about staying at Harrisonburg/New Market KOA. They are about 4 or so miles east of I-81 and so it is quiet. They have mostly pull thru full hook up sites and it is a lovely campground too. We've stayed there numerous times.

RE: Winter camping in the Carolina's
Generally we are there late Dec. and around New Years. We always make reservations, especially to get a good site at Huntington. I would say that the campground was about 50-60% full. Across the highway, Brookgreen (I think) Gardens are amazing, even in the winter.

RE: Winter camping in the Carolina's
Actually, the previous post is from one of our favorite places on the east coast...Murrell's Inlet. We love Huntington Beach State Park, but they probably limit you to 2 week stretches. Even if you stay in one of the numerous private parks in Myrtle Beach, just visit the area of Murrell's Inlet with the Marsh Walk and cool places to eat. We've been there several times right after Christmas - some days it is nice and warm and other times, freezing temperatures. At least the cold does not last a long time.

RE: Where to go during Christmas break?
What about Chattanooga, TN. We hope to go there this Jan. on our way to FL. Maybe the Myrtle Beach area....that may be more than 400 miles. We like Murrell's Inlet, south of Myrtle Beach and we stay at Huntington Beach St. Park. Just off the beach. Although a little chilly, Williamsburg, VA has tons of places to visit and lots of campgrounds.

RE: Resorts near St. Augustine
We love North Beach. We had a pull thru site that must have been 75 feet long. Plus, it is just pretty and the ocean is just across the road. One year we stayed at the KOA in St. Augustine. Very tight and no privacy, but convenient to everything....kind of pricey too. The staff was great there, but still, not worth giving up North Beach for.

RE: Heavenly Acres Campground, Stanardsville, Va.
We live really nearby and thought we'd spend one night there with our granddaughter. People are nice, campground is not much at all. The sites are pretty dismal and most of the sites are filled with out of the area workers. The campground needs a lot of work and pretty junky around the owner's home, which is near the office.

RE: Thanks for Charlottesville cg suggestion
Kathy,
Glad you like the campground. Just make sure you take in all the great places to see and things to do in the Charlottesville area. Even though we have lived in the area for over 30 years, it still amazes me, especially Charlottesville itself. Have a great stay.

RE: Campground for Christmas
Stretching the 400 mile range, but maybe worth it, is Nashville. Visit the Opryland Hotel and make it a long day. Fabulous.

RE: Help us find a Florida campground...
Two posts were correct. The Space Center is amazing. We stayed at a campground several years ago in Rockledge, not too far away. One of our favorite places is North Beach outside St. Augustine. Worth the visit to St. Augustine and the beach is wonderful.

RE: Marathon Florida-campgrounds
We love Knights Key! Spent a week or more there for several years in Jan. Had an ocean site for 2 years and then without making a reservation, took the "infield" site for another 2 years. The tiki bar at sunset is a must, take the bicycles and ride out on the old bridge to tour Pigeon Key Museum, or take the conch train right there at Knights Key. You will enjoy the place I am sure.

RE: Mt. Dora, Eustis or Tavares, FL.
We have not visited recently, guess it was about 4 years ago when last there. We love Mt. Dora and stayed for 3 nights at Holiday RV Park in Leesburg. We liked that campground a lot. There were park models and a lot of snow birds, all friendly and a very active park. Two heated pools, one indoor, tons of activities even though we did not participate in any.

RE: MASTERS - Camping Near Augusta National
A few years back we spent 2 nights at Mistletoe St. Park in Appling. It was great. Very clean and neat. Loved touring around Augusta.

RE: Maine to Florida
Harpers Ferry, WVA, Shenandoah National Park & Skyline Drive, Shenandoah Valley and stop at the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton (several good campgrounds in the Valley), Charlottesville VA - Monticello, Ash Lawn, the University of VA.,Montpelier in Orange Co., completing the major renovation of James Madison's home. If you venture east, Richmond is good and then Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown.
On the coast of SC - tons of places on Rt. 17 - Murrell's Inlet, just s. of Myrtle Beach and Huntington Beach St. Park, Charleston, SC, Savannah GA, Jekyll Is. GA, St. Augustine or Fernandina Beach and Amelia Is., FL.

RE: CG suggestions for Charlottesville, VA area?
South of Charlottesville will be less traffic, so I'd also vote for the KOA. The place is a madhouse during football season though, so you'd better make the reservations now. Although we've never stayed at Misty Mtn., there are a lot of people with positive reviews. We've been at the KOA several times. Really did not care for the 340 North though. There is a small campground in Greene County called Heavenly Acres. It is about 8 miles west of Rt. 29 on Rt. 230 and I've never been in there, nor heard anything one way or another. Good luck.

RE: knight's campground
I've never heard of Knight's Kampground on Key Largo. There is a Knight's Key RV Park at Marathon. Can that be the one? If so, we have loved it for many trips.

RE: New 5'er and looking to get away...
Welcome to the forum! You will gain a huge amount of information on this particular section of the forum, from campgrounds and great places to see and eat! We have met some of the members while on the road, as well as keeping in touch through emails. Have a great time in your new camper. Hopefully, we will be able to retire before too long and see your "neck of the woods" one day.

RE: Charlottesville,VA T.Jefferson Home
We've found the pull thru sites at the KOA more than adequate. If you are doing lots of tourist type things, you won't be at the campground but to sleep. Ditto on Michie Tavern - while there be sure to visit the University of VA. Jefferson created this and his stamp is ever present. The serpentine wall and gardens, the Rotunda and the Lawn are beautiful. Great places to eat and shop on the downtown mall.

RE: Central Virgina
I agree with the last post. The Charlottesville KOA, just south of the city, would not be too terribly far to get to Bedford. Montpelier is in Orange County, and staying too far outside Charlottesville will make it much too long. Take the toad! Monticello, Ash Lawn and the Michie Tavern are all near each other, but still the toad will make it much more pleasant and affordable.
