We loved the Loft Mountain campground too!

[@Nolacarsillo]

excellent video guys!! Highly appreciate all the useful info. Most campground reviews are very basic, I feel like I’m getting info from a friend rather than a KZbinr! Will be subscribing !

Ive stayed at Bug Meadows and Loft Mountain campgrounds. Big meadows is nice because its so central but i did like the privacy Loft offered. Thank you for the resouce of viewing the campsites. Would have been iseful this last tume at loft. We were in G193 next to 2 huge water tanks. Not what we hoped for but made the most of it.

[@ChickerysTravels]

I also try to pick a site away from the bathrooms. Last time I was in Big Meadows in a tent the only site was right by one. I kept hearing footsteps all night! Still, I was camping not working, so I guess I couldn't complain too much. :)

Thank yall!

[@ChickerysTravels]

You're welcome! Hope you get a chance to camp at SNP soon!

Skyline drive is beautiful. I haven't been there since 2004.

[@ChickerysTravels]

Yes, we love it!

Hey, just found you guys and thank you so much for the video. Very informative . We will be coming through Swift Run Gap to stay at Big Meadows. We will need to fill up our 40 gallon water tank for the week and I know it’s at Byrd visitor center from what I’ve read. Is this correct? If so, do you remember which side of the visitor center it is on? We will probably pull in there before we head to our booked campground. I’m having a hard time finding it on a map or satellite image.

[@ChickerysTravels]

Sorry I just saw this. Hope I'm not too late. From what I recall, the potable water fill is by the dump station. You'll turn off Skyline Dive at Byrd Visitors center, then go straight about 1/2 to 1 Mi. to the first right and proceed straight approx 1/4 mi to the utility area on the left.

Thank you for this very informative and helpful video! Do the camp stores sell bags of ice coolers?

[@ChickerysTravels]

Yes, they do sell ice.

We used to camp there, but in the overflow area which way back was full of bear

[@ChickerysTravels]

I love seeing bears at SNP, but didn’t see one this year.

[@shekharmoona544]

Why hell have I not subscribed to this channel before?

[@ChickerysTravels]

Good question! :)

[@shekharmoona544]

Did y'all make it to the drive thru safari in Virginia?

[@ChickerysTravels]

We've never been to the safari, but I have hear a few people mention it.

[@shekharmoona544]

Are you guys taking that ferry from lower 48 to Alaska?

[@ChickerysTravels]

We flew to Alaska for this trip. We'd like to take the RV there in the future.

[@Tim_rdg]

Is it necessary to have a back country permit if we are staying overnight at a campground?

[@ChickerysTravels]

You don’t need a permit for any other the main park campgrounds as you’ll register at the campground. If you are backpacking and staying at a backcountry campsite, then you’ll need the permit.

[@susantaylor8554]

Thank you i have to have electric. Sound great but i cannot.

[@ChickerysTravels]

Shenandoah River State Park kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYuUgnSLe9adrZo and Spacious Skies in Luray kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2SrdYR4d7KpiK8 are both good options. The state park has water and electric and Spacious Skies is full hookups. I've included the links for my video reviews.

[@journey_with_oma]

Where are good boondocking areas?

[@ChickerysTravels]

The George Washington National Forest has established campgrounds as well as boondocking areas.

[@austinstitzel]

I'm going to guess that Sean is an Aquarius and Julie is an Aries.

[@ChickerysTravels]

Sorry, wrong on both.
