Posted by Angie Kuklinski Aug 5, Adventure 2. As full-time RVers, we love to travel and explore. And exploring Damascus and biking the Virginia Creeper Trail was on our must-do list. Click here for more information on the AT. As much as we love hiking, our goal was biking the Virginia Creeper Trail and exploring Damascus. You can find more details about biking the Virginia Creeper Trail here. The Virginia Creeper Trail is a picturesque path that is not only beautiful but historical.
At 34 miles long, the Creeper trail scenery and natural beauty are captivating. The trail runs from Whitetop Station to Abingdon, Virginia. The entire route can be biked all in one day, or broken into two separate rides.
We opted for the thrill of the downhill route of Whitetop Station into Damascus. Others we talked to at the outfitter store chose the Damascus to Abingdon ride. We want to bike the Abingdon section of the trail in the future. You can find more information about the Abingdon section of the trail here. Check the weather first so you can plan accordingly. We knew we would start our ride with great weather, but heavy rain and thunderstorms were predicted for later in the day.
We took our daypack, snacks, rain jackets and water. Make your trip to the Whitetop section of the trail run smoothly and select one of the local bike rental-shuttle outfitters.
We chose SunDog Outfitter. You can find more campground information here. There are no tent sites. Be advised, the bridge on the road to the campground is narrow. In other words, be careful and take it slow. It is a bit of a nail-biter since the turn is very tight for longer RVs. If you go, take it slow and have a spotter as you exit. The absolute best thing about the campground is its proximity to town. You can walk to everything.
