Today was a travel day. We will certainly go back to Natural Chimneys County Park if we are back in this part of the world. The campground is located in a gorgeous pasture, there are big stone chimneys there, the campground hostess was a sweetheart, the roads are pretty good, there are fireflies every evening and the utilities worked very well. There are no sewer hookups or wifi but we can do without those amenities since the scenery is so stunning.
Right before we left, there was a parade of tractors, bicycles, kiddie cars and flags through the park. Although the parade probably had something to do with the upcoming 4th of July holiday, we like to think it was for us. We dumped the tanks and boogied right after the parade. We drove on some razor-thin rural roads for a while but eventually got back on I-81 northbound and stayed on it to the town of Winchester about 15 miles from West Virginia, 40 miles from Maryland and maybe 60 miles from Pennsylvania.
We pulled into Candy Hill Campground in Winchester. It ain’t cheap but it is very nice with full hookups, shady sites, full amenities including good wifi, a pool and an ample laundry. When we called to get our reservation at this park, the unfortunate on the phone was cranky and miserable but onsite staff were great, guiding us right to our RV spot. There must be something terrific around here because the park was full of campers and geezers like us. It was also hotter than hell with temperatures in the millions and humidity in the high double digits. Fortunately, our air conditioning works well.
