Endless Caverns

Earlier in the year at the RV show in Richmond, VA, we signed up for the camping special at Endless Caverns. Essentially, you prepay for seven nights of camping. On a per night basis, it was less than the state parks and it was full hook up. They allow you to split the seven nights as you see fit for the upcoming camping season. You can even share your nights with a buddy if you so desire. I also learned that they allowed a change when you have to change your reservation. With family in the area, it was a win for us.

With our 45 ft Beast, our first trip was a bit unnerving. The registration parking lot is on a significant grade. The campground itself has graveled roads and sites. The sites are terraced up and down the hill. Many are pull-thru. They keep the trees well-trimmed and the rocks edging the sites and roads add to the natural look of the campground. I'm not sure I'd advertise it as big-rig friendly, but they do.

On our second trip, we got a site that was much closer to the campground entrance. It was a super long pull-thru. Even so, we opted to hook up outside the campground at a nearby gas station.

Campers get a discount on the caverns tour. Caverns are always fun. The tour lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes. It was interesting to see how many stalactites had broken edges. Long ago, guests were encouraged to take home a souvenir. We toured the caverns with Elizabeth's brother, Scott.

If walking the campground hill isn't enough of a challenge for you, you can hike the perimeter trail or the trail to the sign.

The perimeter trail is maintained since it follows the fence line. Even so, it is very steep in some places. We read in a campground review post that the grade is over 20% in places. Walking sticks or hiking poles are a definite plus.

The view from the sign is wonderful. They recommend it for sunset viewing. There's a firepit and picnic table. I'd have a flashlight and the aforementioned hiking poles for the trip back. We hiked the perimeter trail with a stop at the sign in the middle of the day. Once was enough for us!
