State Park in SW VA. in the Mt. Rogers National Recreation Area (south of Marion, VA).
This is a state park with a separate campground for equine people. There are primitive
campsites and a nice shower and toilets. The horses must use the standing stalls
(choice of covered or uncovered). You have to have reservations and apparently it fills
up pretty fast. Telephone #703 579-7092. It was beautiful! The campground is about
4500 feet elevation (which caused us to lose our transmission, but that's another
story!).
We've also heard of a place called "Spruce Knob", maybe in West VA. Anybody know
anything about that?
