Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / August 2004Grayson Highlands State Park, VA
I was wondering if anyone had been camping at this subject state park? I wanted to know thoughts on the drive to the campground, the weather in August, any anything else one can add. Thanks. Hi Vince, I think this is a great SP we stayed there for a week in June and are going back for a long weekend in Oct. The drive up to the park is steep and winding but we made it without any problem. It was cool even in late June so take a sweat shirt for the evenings. A great park to hike. One nice hike is right from the campground up to "the Scales" ask about it if interested. I know you'll have a great visit.

Thanks. The drive to the park is intimidating for a larger RV. The direct road from I-81 has signs saying take the back road. The back road is bad, too. Narrow, windy, steep. We made it with our 26 ft Minnie Winnie towing our Saturn. The park is nice spaces are generous, the fee was $17 I think. Trying to remember. We stayed only one night on our way to the Virginia eastern shore. We were on the road on 9/11/01 a couple of days later as I recall. There were deer grazing on the lawn when we awoke in the morning at the park. Go and enjoy. August should be nice because you are up out of the heat at lower elevations. John Andrews, Knoxville, Tennessee First trip to SP was in DEC last year, being from out of town we made the drive up without knowing the Park was closed. I made the drive in my 2002 Toyota V-8 Tundra towing a 27' SunnyBrook TT. (Wt about 5,000 lbs)total. It was slow going using low gear (automatic trans) but we did it, The road was steep and curvy, but it wasn't that bad. Go For It!!! If we did, anybody can! Lesson learned- always call ahead or know where you are going! Very cold, deer every where, will try again in warmer weather. Lost Lew in SC |
