EASTERN SHORE
Tall Pines Harbor Campground
Tall Pines Harbor Waterfront Campground | Temperanceville History and natural beauty combine to make Virginia’s Eastern Shore a special destination. The Coastal Virginia - Eastern Shore region is accessible via the 17.5-mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. The Shore stretches 70 miles and is situated between the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Step back to a time of old railroad towns and intimate fishing villages. Listen for the unique old-world accents spoken here, especially by Tangier Island residents! Shop at a roadside stand, and learn how to crab from a pier. The Shore is known for its fresh oysters and winter is the season to claim these succulents for your own. If harvesting is not as appealing as devouring, finding a restaurant to serve them up any way you wish is no task at all. One of the most beloved sites on the Eastern Shore is the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, where the annual Pony Swim and Auction occurs. The event was made famous by Margurite Henry’s “Misty of Chincoteague”. No other beach walk will be as memorable as the one you’ll take on Assateague. Watch wild ponies feed on the marsh grasses. Chances are, it’ll be just you and them! Other Eastern Shore notables: The Assateague Lighthouse Eastern Shore Railway Museum NASA Visitor Center at Wallops Flight Facility Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge Wreck & Bone Island Natural Area Preserve Kiptopeke State Park - home of the Eastern Shore Birding Festival in October! Accommodations are cozy here, and the seafood can’t be beat! You’ll also love the out-of-the-way beaches, where you might not meet another human for miles. Be sure to check out the fun events on the Eastern Shore as you plan your vacation.

NORTHERN VIRGINIA Northern Virginia Region
Prince William Forest RV Campground | Dumfries Northern Virginia offers the culture of two different worlds combining cosmopolitan skylines and country star-lit skies. Northern Virginia is next door to our nation’s capital - Washington, D.C. - yet has kept its own character reminiscent of colonial times, rambling plantations, equestrian farms and cobblestoned streets leading to quaint taverns, chic shops and historical gems. Fairfax County is a treasure trove of unique historic sites, museums, performance venues, and natural wonders. Visit and discover such national treasures such as George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens, the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, the Workhouse Arts Center, Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, and Great Falls National Park.
Much more history can be found in Northern Virginia. Arlington honors our nation’s soldiers and military history at Arlington National Cemetery and the Women in Military Service For America Memorial. A beautifully-preserved historic district on the Potomac waterfront, Old Town Alexandria is the heart of the city George Washington called home. Today, Old Town’s cobblestone streets and red brick sidewalks hum with an energy that attracts everyone from presidents to pet lovers to some of the region’s best chef-driven restaurants; a vibrant arts culture, including the nationally renowned Torpedo Factory Art Center; a thriving boutique scene; numerous boat tours and water taxis; and creative cocktails and craft brews, including Alexandria’s own Port City Brewing Company, recently named the Best Small Brewery in America.”

SHENANDOAH VALLEY
Candy Hill Campground | Winchester
The Big Valley The Shenandoah Valley stretches 200 miles across the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains. It’s been nicknamed “The Big Valley” and immortalized in song, dance, film and television. The history and heritage of the region includes many sites devoted to the pioneers who traveled westward, settled and farmed - those like the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton and Cyrus McCormick’s Farm in Raphine. He invented the first reaper! During the Civil War this region was nicknamed “The Breadbasket of the Confederacy.” In Lexington, visit Virginia Military Institute and Washington & Lee University - where Gen. Robert E. Lee served as president after the war and where the Lee Chapel & Museum is located. See battlefields - New Market Battlefield State Park and Fisher’s Hill Battlefield. Another historical site of the region is the Birthplace of President Woodrow Wilson.
