So now we have to ask - what is the
best / easiest way to travel to the campground from here in Southwest Virginia? Our son lives in Philadelphia
and we typically drive North on I-81 then East on I-76. But we would love to avoid the city if we can.
Thanks for any help ...

ps: we have never been to the area so we would be interested in all side trips = even to Atlantic City!
Ever hear the term "can't get there from here"?
It will feel like that going to south jersey.
Several options. Whatever you plan, if you come near DC try and plan it around rush hour.
a) 95 to Wilmington, DE to 295 north, to 322 west to 55
b) take 81 to Frederick Maryland and then head to Baltimore, 95 north
c) 81 to the DC exit, circle around the southern end of DC and head for Annapolis. 301 north to Wilmington, and then 95 as above.
d) Head to Annapolis as above but then head to Lewes, DE and take the Cape May Ferry. You'll save a little over 50 miles but have a $70 toll (ferry) and add about 1.5 hours total.
Really depends how much you like to drive interstates.
Since you have never been here - AC is a must as well as Cape May. And Wildwood has huge beaches, free too, which is a rarity in New Jersey (AC is the only other free beach).
