To answer your question Nytewyng, The sites are pull-thru's and set-up for Class A motorhomes. Jeff, the campground owner, has stated that he doesn't want carpets spread out on the grassy areas between the sites. In other words, as long as the SIDE ROOMS DO NOT HAVE A FLOOR as part of the room, you should be fine.
I hope this helps. It is Jeff's campground and his rules. We will have some flexibility with them, due to the size of rally we are holding there, but we don't want to push it to far. I hope everyone understands this.
Fort Chiswell RV Campground is centrally located on the eastcoast. It is also set at the crossroads of Interstates of 81 and 77. This is why we choose this campground.

Just a reminder:
River Trip on the New River - local to Ft. Chiswell!
When: Saturday, August 5th.
Approximate length/time: 8 miles or so, about 4 - 5 hrs.
Meeting time: 9:00 am
Meeting location: TBA
What do you need?
1. watercraft (canoe, kayak, raft from Wally World, whatever) & paddles of some kind. NOTE: If you want to rent a canoe, let me know and I will try to find a local outfitter to help us out. However, I will need some notice on that, so let me know early!
2. life jackets - I don't do river trips without PFD's. Helmets strongly encouraged, if you are in a kayak. Yes, we will be on a river and a fairly shallow one at times.
3. lunch / food of some kind. Yes, we will find a place to stop here and there or there and here or maybe just here.
4. water to drink.
5. river shoes. Some kind of old sneakers are recommended as broken glass is commonly found on the river bank. I don't want to be making a trip to the emergency room with someone.
6. Well, I think I've figured out the important stuff.
I would also ask you to leave the alcohol in your TD - not in your water bottle. It'll make the trip more fun for us all. There will be plenty of opportunity to relax at the campground when we get back.
If you are interested, please post a message, PM one to me, or email me at eddytrn[at]i[dash]plus[dot]net.
NOTE: If you are coming to Ft. Chiswell and you would like to go on the river, but do not have a watercraft, let me know. Also if you are coming with a canoe/K-2 and you have an opening for a bow/stern paddler, let me know. I am willing to be an intermediary. Keep in mind, the sooner that you let me know, the higher on the priority list you go.
I am aiming to be back in the campground around 4 pm, if possible.
I will also be asking for people to help with putting together some shuttle vehicles. If you are willing to help shuttle, let me know on Friday night in the campground, if possible. We'll be there sometime on Friday morning. Look for the blue Subaru Forester w/ racks and VA tags - and pulling a tear, of course.
