locating campgrounds in West Virgina

I'm planning to snowbird this January for the first time.I,m leaving from Buffalo, NY area, weather permitting around the middle of the January.I would like to make a stop in West Virgina at about 400 miles on my first day,and continue on slowly from there on.I plan on going to Alabama, to visit family then on to Florida for a while then on to Texas,Arizona and so on and return home at the end of April.I can't seem to find a open campground from NY to west virgina,any help would would be appreciated.I'll be traveling on rt.79 through West Virgina.

Not sure which highway you will be taking, but I doubt you will find anything open in WV during the winter months. We have a summer home in the eastern panhandle of WV (between MD & VA). We always use Candy Hill near Winchester, VA. Not far off I-81. A nice campground and open all year round.

We were just discussing today how the roads through W.VA would be. It's so hard to tell by just looking at a map. We would be traveling on the secondary roads if we can get this big rig through there. Any problems here? It would be in the fall.

garyka,

You can check with Flatwoods RV Park (http://www.flatwoodsrvpark.com/index.html) Flatwoods, WV. It's located of I-79, exit 67.

Good Luck!
Lou

In response to Judy's question about the roads, we spent a few weeks on one of our first trips out with our Monty in W.Va. I can only say when planning a trip you want to estimate your travel time then multiply it by 1 1/2. The roads are good but because of all the hills its up and down and round and round, a lot. I can't offer any suggestions on the main question in this string because we stayed mostly in the middle of the state where it is very mountainous.

Thanks, John and Dorothy, that's what we were wondering about. The scenery must be beautiful.
