Campsite: Peaks Of Otter Campground — Blue Ridge Parkway

This is primitive car camping. If you don't know what that means, "car camping" means you have your own parking spot, very close to the place where you will put your tent (most of these sites have a small up or small down to traverse to get to the site, with a few rough stairs). 'Primitive" means that there is no electricity or water anywhere near your site. You will not be able to charge your phone. It also means that you should be prepared for very limited bathrooms/bathhouses (in this case, sporadically placed bathrooms with flush toilets and sinks).

If primitive car camping is what you want, I highly recommend this campground. Most of the sites are roomy and shaded. Lots of birds! Quiet! There are both reserveable and first-come-first-served sites. Loop A is closer to the road, and the sites aren't as nice, but it is also generator free. The sites in Loop B are nicer, but presumably someone camping next to you could use a noisy generator. A number of hiking trails are available within a reasonable driving distance.

There are bears. Be prepared to closely follow protocol. Bear boxes are scattered throughout the grounds.

Good plan: Camp here. Hike the next day. Go to the local YMCA and pay a few bucks for a shower. Camp for night 2. Continue your trip.
