Mountain Camping

[Jamiek]

Hello

Im looking for campgrounds that are high in the mountains. Other than Skyline drive, does anybody have any good spots they know of. We do Skyline drive camping all the time and love it, but looking for any other spots. Any place within 2 or 3 hours from Washington DC. Just love the mountain air and high elevation. Thanks!!!

Hello
     Have you considered Rocky Gap State Park?  It is just off of I-68 a few miles east of Cumberland.  You might also consider some West Virginia State Parks a bit further southwest.  Coopers Rock  -  Blackwater Falls  -   Canaan Valley
  We haven't camped at Coopers Rock, but have enjoyed camping at the others.  We especially like Canaan.

I don't know if this is beyond your travel distance preference, but there is a nice rustic campground near the northern end of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's called Otter Creek campground. You can read about it here:
