Barbara and I wanted to break up our first long motor home trip into manageable segments and decided we needed an easy travel day. The more natural stop on the way to Tennessee would be right around Bristol, but it was race weekend at the motor speedway and it made no sense to be in the craziness for even one night. NASCAR and I just don’t get along…although I suppose it wouldn’t be too bad to drink a beer or 6 with the race fans. But we stayed about 25 miles north of Bristol and 7 miles northwest of Abingdon, VA. A place to stay only once is about the only thought I have Riverside RV Park. Getting there is along a 1 (yes 1) lane roadway (wanna play chicken with a motorhome anyone?), and then a hairpin turn to enter the campgrounds. It’s rundown and more a place for resident campers than weary travelers. ‘Nuff said.
