Free Camping In Virginia

[@jacquelynportee3875]

NIce camp tent set-up. That fried steak and beans with bacon sure looks good. I can almost smell it watching KZbin.

[@AccidentalOverlander]

Thanks!! The baked beans were SO good, and pretty easy to make. I need to do those again, I love simplicity lol

[@thewanderingway]

Way to make the best out of a challenging weather weekend! Hope the skies are brighter for you this weekend :-)

[@AccidentalOverlander]

They were gorgeous. Hope you had a great Easter

Great video, thx! Just started looking into dispersed camping in VA as well (I live just outside of Richmond) my wife and I can go with our pup and Crosstrek I'm slowly building up. Subscribed to you as well. Appreciate sharing! 😊👍

[@AccidentalOverlander]

Thanks for subscribing!! I still have a lot of exploring to do on the western side of Va. I live near the ocean so it takes awhile to get to the mountains lol. Right now I find a general area and just try and explore it as much as possible when I'm by myself. I think Switzer Lake Rd is a good starting point. There's a lot of camping and nothing too crazy to drive through. It can get busy on the weekends though. Let me know if you need anything. Have a great time on your trips!!!

[@TravelingKory]

@@AccidentalOverlander greatly appreciate the tips! I have a good number of prospective trails bookmarked in Gaia GPS we're planning on slowly hitting. We do a large number of our exploring near Rapidan (Doubletop Mountain is a great reference point) and are looking to branch out. Looking forward to following your travels and journeys! 😊

[@AccidentalOverlander]

@@TravelingKory Very cool. I may check that place out too. It's actually closer than Switzer Lake

[@waltobringer2928]

Thanks!

[@jasonfitzgibbons1412]

Great seeing these adventures! My wife def won’t go when it’s hot outside but how do you find these places to stay. Want to take my dog Olivia camping this summer where it’s not a reserved state park. Thanks for the videos !

[@AccidentalOverlander]

The heat is hard to deal with. Luckily friends of ours showed us the general area, then when I go back by myself I will take a day and just drive around searching for camp spots. Most of them are on Switzer Lake rd. In the Georgia Washington National Forest. It's about time to search some new places though

[@Nixon316]

Looking to make a journey to these parts next week. Any suggestions on good dispersed sights? Thank you in advance

[@AccidentalOverlander]

For sure. If you have Instagram you can message me on there and I can help you out

[@theconnollys6389]

What’s wining on your truck,,,, power steering?

[@AccidentalOverlander]

I think it's part of the lift kit. Maybe something in the control arms. It does it more in the colder weather

[@gracecallowayable]

Awesome!!!👠🚌👠

[@AccidentalOverlander]

It was a great trip.

[@michellelaclair]

what would you do if a downed tree was across the road?

[@AccidentalOverlander]

Great question!! This just happened to me recently (so it will be in a video soon). I've had a big tree fall that was so rotted I could drive over it. I just had another tree fall that wasn't huge, but big enough to block my path. I set up my recovery gear and pulled it out of the way with the truck. It was a good first learning experience.

[@djggravy3750]

How was the tents trial run?

[@AccidentalOverlander]

I've been on about 3 trips with it since I got it and so far so good. It is a pain to store, especially when the whole family is going lol

[@durandhemminger7373]

Where are you camping

[@AccidentalOverlander]

In George Washington National Forest by Switzer Lake

[@tentman4fun]

Cook a steak about 5 or 10 minutes on each side and you'll be good

[@AccidentalOverlander]

Thanks

Go Birds

[@AccidentalOverlander]

Hell yeah!!!

[@ronaldlongfellow87]

Hey man can you help my wife and I ? We need better information on what you’re doing so we can do the same thing. We would rather camp in places like you did we don’t like having a bunch of people camping with us.

[@AccidentalOverlander]

You can message me on IG of you want. That area here is called Switzer Lake and is great for camping
