Looking for some guidance:

I'm seeking a state park (with hookup camping) on the way back from Alexandria, VA where I can camp 1 night in the mini-camper. Aug. 29. I'm taking a friend off to seminary. Once I drop her off I will probably be totally non-compos on directionality. (Special points given to anybuddy who can meet me at VTS, let me follow them to beddybye, and visit briefly before I crash. I promise to wake up functional and get going promptly-- I have en evening event the 30th back home I MUST attend.

Also workable: any relatively flat, level safe space where I can run an extension cord for a fan.

ummm.. Alexandria is South of *us*. Do you really want to just camp? There's a fine state park an hour further South of Alexandria, but that's lot's of extra driving. PM for discussion of all alternatives...

(I truly don't know the parks in Maryland)

There's a lost river state park in Maryland and yet another where the river re-emerges. Can't think of the right name at the moment, but it's...wait, Cacotin? Could be Cacotin or something very like it.

Susan, Did I miss something here -- which direction are you heading, or are you looking for a camping space in/near Aleanadria and direction is not relevant? In any case, Pohick Bay Regional Park in Virginia has camp sites about an hour or less south of Alex'ia, only a few miles off I-95.

If I have it correct, WYSuzie is lookin' for a state park to camp at on the way home... If she is takin' Rt 15 then that would put her well north of Harrisburg, Pa. which is about a 4 hour drive from Alexandria...

Sorry, but once ya' get north of Harrisburg, I'm lost-ercated... Okay to Harrisburg 'cause I used to stay there when I went to car shows in Carlisle...

Got it.

Try this site for state parks in Maryland, including ones in the area of 15.

Heading south on 15, I'd recommend Bear Creek Lake State Park, a nice little park in the Cumberland Forest about mid-way between Richmond and Charlottesville.

She says it will save a lot of prepping the van.
