Hey guys. Pretty new here. My name’s Alden and I work a boring desk job in dc but it lets me get out a lot. Been looking to see how to best explore the Mid-Atlantic Beaches and Appalachia.
Just finished my first I overnight in my new (to me) 2006 4Runner V8. (Amazing ride, btw).
Escaped dc on Friday afternoon. Took nearly 2 hours to get 55 miles to Sky Meadows state park but well worth it.
I made reservations for a primitive camp site online. I was the only reservation for that night. They had a welcome packet ready at the gate which included the gate code to the overnight parking area - turned out to be a field right next to the camp entrance.
Parked there. Got some cool hiking in up the cow pasture by the farm house. When darkness fell the park closed. Never set up the tent just crashed in the back of truck. No problems whatsoever. My camping partner and i were the only humans around for miles.
Great experience for a quick trip or a jumping off point to longer forays into the Shenandoah mountains!
