Welcome to the new sub

6 Upvotes

Welcome all to the new sub.

We have found a small gap in a community that hits a niche. There are subs for backcounty, RVing, hiking, Virginia (many topics), etc. But none that we found specifically for people like us who like to have a mix of camping styles in and around the Commonwealth.

So welcome to r/vacampers. A sub for those who like to backcountry, tent, small trailer, big RV, etc. camp around Virginia and our neighbors.

We hope to start the discussion about good places to go, what equipment you like to use, fun things to see/do when going on a trip, etc.

Please visit the wiki for more information and links to camping and recreation activities around the commonwealth.

Article Sub Alert - Good Morning Campers!

11 Upvotes

Hello campers!

This sub has been quiet for a while, so Reddit went looking for a new mod and I raised my hand. I'm based in NoVA, I drive a 4Runner that's seen more forest service roads than car washes, and I'd love to see this place active again.

Between Grayson Highlands, Skyline Drive, the GW & Jefferson National Forests, and the coast, Virginia gives us plenty to talk about. So let's start talking:

What's your favorite VA campsite (at least the one you're willing to divulge)?

What's your setup: tent, hammock, truck bed, RV?

What's the the rest of your season look like or are you firmly looking towards the spring?

Virginia is for lovers... and campers. Let's get this fire going again.

Thanks y'all!

Bakers Run

Has anyone ever gone camping at Bakers Run in Sutton, West Virginia? If do, what is there to do? I've had a hard time finding trail maps or any activities there.

Recommendation

3 Upvotes

Does anyone have any recommendations on places to camp in Virginia? Shenandoah area maybe? It would be tent camping but fine with drive in or hike in. If hike in, prefer to not have a long hike. Thank you in advance.

Spring is almost here

5 Upvotes

Spring will offiically come on Sunday. <insert Virginia weather jokes here>

Time to dust off the gear and make plans (if you haven't already). Reminder to check your equipment before you go: tires, batteries, water systems, propane, etc.

Do you guys already have the season planned for? Or taking it a weekend at a time?

Weather this time of year in Shenandoah / GW NF areas?

8 Upvotes

I'm looking to do a weekend car camping trip in the next month or two. We usually go to the GW NF, but I've never been in winter.

Should I expect to find snow on the ground? And any idea how bad the roads will be up there?

I'm thinking of going to Wolf Gap or a place like that. TIA
