RE: Campgrounds around Shenandoah Valley in VA?
Found a site at Luray KOA now. Will be traveling there Nov 4. That’s the day after elections, I have some concerns about traveling the day after the elections. I don’t know what will happen after the elections. What is your thoughts?
Probably half the nation will be happy, and half upset:D
We're going to travel at that time as well, can't wait to get away from the political BS.

North Toledo Bend & South Toledo Bend State Parks Louisiana
Just wondering if anybody has camped at either, or both. I'll be in that area in November, want to spend two nights at one of them. We don't fish, so just looking at hiking, taking in scenery. I have no idea which one is better, thanks.

RE: Escaping heat next summer?
When is the bug season in northern Michigan and Wisconsin? Black flies or whatever.
May & June.
We love the UP but the last time we went, it was June & got eaten alive. I'd look at July and beyond.

RE: Campgrounds around Shenandoah Valley in VA?
I stayed at Montebello about 12 years ago. From what I remember it was nice. That is a very remote area. Don't expect cell phone service. I hope you're driving in from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Coming in from any other way is a very challenging mountain road.
Thanks for the tip. The folks at the CG mentioned that to me at booking.
I'm not too worried about the cell service. Just heading down to relax for a few days.

RE: Campgrounds around Shenandoah Valley in VA?
I recently booked a place called Montebello Resort. It has mixed reviews, but taking a chance that it's nice.
These last minute planned trips are hard to do in popular areas anymore.

RE: Camping with no reservations
Reservations are a blessing and a curse. The spontaneous trips are definitely harder to do nowadays in my region. We prefer state parks to camp in.
So we set an alarm on our google calendar for the reservation window openings at our favorite spots in Ohio, Michigan, or NY.
We always take a fall trip to Texas to visit family, and luckily we can basically "wing it" unless we're headed to Palo Duro Canyon. Arkansas, Oklahoma, even Tennessee seem to have openings for us.

RE: Oklahoma Northeast
Sequoyah State Park and Greenleaf State Park are very nice stops, wouldn't be too far out of the way. Robbers Cave SP pretty good too. Safe travels.

RE: Campgrounds around Cleveland Clinic OH
I live in Cleveland, there's nothing really close to the city, but since you're heading to the east side I'd suggest Punderson State Park. Pretty big place and inside a half hour drive.

RE: Campground on river VA/WV/KY
In Virginia, check out Douthat SP or Hungry Mother SP. I've never visited Bolar Mountain but heard it's very nice.

RE: How do you folks plan travel for long distances?
I'm a planner, but we just returned from a 3 1/2 week trip just "winging it" through Arkansas, Texas, & Oklahoma. To my surprise, it wasn't all that tough to do. I will say that the Covid thing might have made it easier, since folks are probably a little leery of travel right now.
I like to use Campendium and RVparkreviews as a source to find campgrounds in a general area, and call to see if there are openings. Sometimes I use the Good Sam search as well.
Good luck & happy camping.

The Brevard area is very nice as well. Very scenic, waterfalls all over the place.

RE: Ohio campgrounds
I'm expecting my Memorial week camping trip to be canceled early this week by ODNR.
Gov DeWine's stay -at- home order now through May 29.So the state parks will remain closed.

RE: Recreational Border Crossing
Thanks Flapper and MDKMDK.
We have been wanting to visit the area & check out the Fundy tides for quite some time. If it gets canceled due to circumstances, we'll just (hopefully) adjust, and keep a similar itinerary in 2021. Maybe even add a Gros Morne trip if we can squeeze it in.

RE: Recreational Border Crossing
I made reservations for Fundy NP, Cape breton Highlands NP a month ago, and was planning on a few Provincial Parks in Nova Scotia as well.
Wait & see is all we can do. They'll probably refund the money due to circumstances.

RE: Nova Scotia
Yep, waiting for the Graves window to open too. Had reservations there last fall (and then Cape Breton and Cavendish). Had to cancel a week ahead due to illness on the road. Good thing - our first night at Graves would have been the day Dorian made landfall.....
Graves Island looks like a nice spot, and close to Halifax & Lunenburg.
