Strategies for Beating the Heat in a Compact Campervan

Shenandoah National Park and the Skyline Drive are a great natural retreat to get away from the suburban sprawl of the greater DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) metro area. Only two hours west of Washington, DC, it hosts spectacular views, great hiking, and the blessed peace that can only be found these day in areas of limited cellphone reception. Wherever your ultimate destination, Shenandoah National Park should be one of your first stops along the way. We will continually update this post as we gather more info and recommendations through personal experience.

How to Get There

There are four stations for vehicle entry into the park. From north to south, they are:

  • Front Royal (North Entrance) via Route 340
  • Thornton Gap Entrance, east of Luray on Hwy 211
  • Swift Run Gap Entrance, east of Elkton on US 33
  • Rockfish Gap (South Entrance), east of Waynesboro, Virginia off of Hwy 250.
