We’re planning a trip there to see the swing bridge in October. The Audie Murphy trail head is close by, going there too. I also plan to see the WW2 memorial in Bedford. We’re going to the overland expo East on that Friday, that’s a neat event. Probably see Monticello on the way out of town.
I love that little campground in Buchanan. You can do your reservations online and it’s only$35 a night (I think). We’ve stayed several times driving through. Natural Bridge is in that area too.
We actually have a Thousand Trails campground membership since 07. We have one in Lynchburg that’s is close to all that. One of the smarter things I’ve done 😂
We bought it In 07 when we got our first travel trailer and based on my calculations we paid for the membership by using it for 5 years till we sold the trailer and got a condo at the beach. Then sold the condo 😢 and got our current Rv. We obviously started using it again. We only paid the yearly dues when we didn’t use it as it was paid off. In my opinion it’s worth it…..Thousand Trails has issues. Some parks are great like Hershey and Orlando and Chesapeake. Others are kinda run down. For the cost and the use we got out of it, it was worth it. When we retire in 2 years we will use it a lot more when available by location. We don’t care about the condition of things. It serves a purpose. I can fill, dump and hopefully get power for a few days. We will use it for food prep and cleaning. If it’s decent we may stay a few weeks 🤷🏼♂️. I’d suggest buying used and get coast to coast parks. Also look for the 120 out booking. Good luck and RUclips is full of good and bad about TT ✌🏼

@@Thesaltymedic36 do you get a lot of use out of your membership? I’m still up in the air about getting one
