I love the shadows of the clouds. When you're talking at the beginning it almost looks like two people talking to each other. Looks like a very nice campground. I would say it would not be free. If anything they would charge a $2 fee that the government would keep well. Lol

That view is stunning. It is a beautiful campground but I seriously doubt if Fred or I will go tent camping again but never say never, LOL. Hmmm, if a car top camper camped there perhaps we could get away with our truck camper. 😉That was a lot of empty campsites. We saw those ear buds in Scotts ears and we were surprised he heard you. LOL Mary 💕 Fred

I was there today... we just stumbled upon it. It has not been cut in some time. The backside.of the camping area looks like they had spaces with electric but it has not been cut or maintained this year. It is still free as of 5/20/2023. Only a couple of tent campers.

Lol, thanks Lou! I DID enjoy the video, all the way up until the end when you said that RV's don't appear to be permitted there ! 😆 That's a bummer because since we are so close, it was going to be a summer destination next year for us to the New River NP. I'm guessing Army Campground and Grandview Sandbar campgrounds are going to go with the same changes for 2023? I'll have to look into it next Spring. Thanks for the video though! I'm leaving next week for Arizona for the winter and plan to stay in some of your showcased spots! Keep em coming!

What an amazing find, just added this to my camping map for our trip out that way next year. We loved our trip in 2020 to the NP and were at that same Grand Overlook. We did the hiking trails right from there as well. Great video to end the year with. Thanks Scott and Lou UPDATE: just saw the end about needing reservations and no RVs... Well thats a kick in the jewels... Still loved the video.

That was very helpful thank you for the informative video! We’re planning to head up that way for a few days!

That is a lot of lawn to mow. Sure is a beautiful setting. Pretty crazy to think this is inside a National Park and there is hardly anyone there. Angie and I have considered the purchase of a Roof Top Tent and putting it on our truck. This would be a great place to put that to use. Thanks for sharing Lou. Safe Travels and Merry Christmas to you and Melony.

It looks like a beautiful campground. To bad they don't allow smaller RVs.

[oldiron]

[shelbykidwell]

[EdontheBeach]

Where did you get that coffee pot? I needs that in my gear!

[Mcv]

Hi Lou, do you know if this is still free camping?

[NewLife-qjmx]

Lol, i was in that same spot a month ago. I was the only one there. Now its gonna be "by reservation only"?? 🙄
Very train heavy that day/night, I didnt get much sleep

[HarmonyExpressSkoolie]

Hey Lou.... Is RV Camping permissible there or is it only tents? Would something as large as a 38 foot Skoolie fit down those roads and be able to cross the tracks??
