Thank you so much for the shout out! Great video! We too can't wait to return, it is BEAUTIFUL there! Love your videos and love your adventures! (Especially loved the river otters at the end on this one!!)
Your so welcome girls! It's only the 2nd time I have ever spotted river otters. The 1st time was at Abbott Lake at the Peaks of Otter. We should do a collab hike sometime somewhere since we are at all of the same places. #futuregoals
Oh my goodness you have made my entire year! Ha Ha! Thank you for that. For sure if I can get out there and do all these outdoor things, than anybody can. Always happy to help if you every have questions. ~RVA~
Isn't that the way it always is. Sometime the very best places are close to home and we don't have to drive far. Hope you get a chance to get out there and enjoy this park.
Thanks! I always try to give ppl new ideas for camp food. Anything you can fix at home you can fix on the campfire with modifications and some prep work prior to the trip to make it easier. Thanks for checking out my vid!
Dang! Gourmet meal at a primitive campsite! Love it! The view from the tent is perfect! Haha..Sasquatches, bottles, cans...they all make strange noises!
Yes, the cart, the bathhouse, and having your car so close by! I thought it was a primitive campsite, actually, they call primitive campsites. But nah not really. Thanks for the watch my friend.
Great video! I'm so glad I found your channel. You keep going to my favorite Virginia State Parks. It's so nice to see them again through your travels.
@@RVAHikerGirl I spent this Sunday night (June 20) there (Tent Site #8). Beautiful day. Beautiful night. I loved it! It was everything you said it would be. It mention you in my video. I also hiked up to Kennedy Peak before going to the park. Thank you again. I am sure to tent camp there again. 🙏
@@RonsWorld5 Oh yeah! Isn't it amazing there by the river? Oh I'll go over and check out your channel! Thanks so much for the shout out. Ahh Kennedy Peak, you just can't beat the views. So glad you had a good time out there and my videos were helpful to you.
Loved the colour along the trail and that cart was a good idea, spoilt indeed. Great view you had over the water, not sure about the food, my tastes are very conservative but good to see you have no issues eating now. Cheers Alan
You were right Alan! I can eat whatever I want now that my gb is gone. I'm not eating meat but I am vegetarian now rather than vegan since I can eat fat now. My waistline is not liking that I can eat all this stuff now. I'm always trying to give peeps different ideas of what they can cook by the campfire and make it easy. What's your fav campfire meal?
It was! Got back on the AT just recently too for an overnight. That video will be after the Kennedy Peak hike. It felt so good! Thanks for checking out @WanderingOutYonder
@@StepsbyKaatje If covid wasn't enough, we are experiencing gas shortages in the US and stations are out. That may start affecting how far I can drive to hike in the mountains. Ugh!
I enjoyed the video. I have been here. We made fried fish for dinner. Actually, the best camp-out food is hot dogs and baked beans with a side of chefboyardee raviolis. Chinese food??? You be hungry five minutes later, lol.
Thanks for stopping by the channel. I like to vary up what I eat when I go camping since I go camping a lot. And I have several dietary restrictions and can’t do high fat with anything so unfortunately hotdogs and raviolis are out for me so I have to come up with healthier options. I always try to incorporate a lot of vegetables in a lot of different ways. But that’s the beauty of camping food you can make it however you want it to have a great time out there.
@@RVAHikerGirl Well, we are in the middle of a heat wave, so going outside is out of the question. I did drive to the carryout last night. When it kools off I will explore the Arboretum.
It sure is. Hiking and camping on the river plus those Mountain View’s, you can’t beat it. Thanks for watching Steve! Come back anytime. I have 150 videos, similar to this one. ~RVA~
Definitely a great site along the water. Looks like you've recovered very well. See I'm not the only one with mic problems lol. Mine was a bad cable, hopefully you get yours figured out.
Feeling pretty good. All of us creators have issues at one time or another. It took 9 tries to just upload this video. I know right??? I know senior had mic issues recently. Even Darwin & Dixie have issues trying to get videos uploaded. I didn't even bring my mic for this one. Didn't want to deal with the sound issues.
Yes it is very lush green from all the April showers, bringing out the May flowers. I always try to come up with new food to make on the campfire to keep it interesting and fun! Happy Hiking to ya!
You do not stop surprising with the very good quality of your content. ... Friend, I am very grateful that you upload this material to the platform. I send you many greetings and hopefully we can stay connected. Hug.
I have a rode microphone and a deadcat to block wind noise but I didn't bring it for this trip. I have had strange noises in my audio I think caused by a bad lightening cable (I think thats what it is called) that connects it to my phone. Just using my old iphone 8+ for my videos. I need a new phone, ha ha!
Sometimes I hike and camp solo and other times I go with other people. On this trip I was not solo. But I honestly don't need a male for security. I can and do take care of myself out there when I travel, go hiking, or on camping or backpacking trips. Us girls are strong and are very capable. We don't need another person to enjoy time in the outdoors. Solo adventures rock! ~RVA~
Nice video, my friend! Great Riverside camp! Enjoyed watching, your bushcraft skills are good! And the surrounding nature is cool and amazing. Cheers from Russia, girl, and welcome to my channel about special Russian bushcraft tips and hacks! Kind regards, Yuriy!
Part time. I wish I could do this full time LOL! Love solo hiking and camping. I also have my car set up for car camping too that I do this time of the year when it's really cold to be able to extend my hikes. I have a video on that setup as well. ~RVA~
You have to call the 1800 number on the state park website. If you can the state park they will give you that number or it is located in the camping section of the website. Most of the primitive spots are walk in. Meaning you can just honor pay at the box, but you run the risk of them all being taken if you don't call ahead. Hole that helps.
Hey there, It says which campsite it is in the video. 🙂 I always say which campsites I am at in all of my videos so the viewers have that info. Thanks for stopping by. ~RVA~
@@RVAHikerGirl really? I thought I've been finding a few maybe they aren't "state parks" then? I think there is a couple along Shenandoah one is called "Little Fort Campground" coming into the Front Royal Entrance.
@@Theworldisdoom3d oh forgot to mention, LFC is free but expect a lot of ATV noise since trail goes right passed there campground. Especially on the weekends.

I suddenly feel I need to listen to John Denver......... Country Roads! Love that song!!
Ha Ha! Listen to Brandi Carlisle’s version, even better! Glad this video envokes happy thoughts!
I love seeing videos and of where I grew up.
Awww, love this! 💕
I must camp here. I’ve grown up here my whole life and forget what beautiful camping spots I have in my back yard!!
Isn't that the way it always is. Sometime the very best places are close to home and we don't have to drive far. Hope you get a chance to get out there and enjoy this park.
@@RVAHikerGirl we’ve had picnics there multiple times but never camped. This is a must!
@@SmoreRacinRV Great bluebells and morel mushrooms there in the Spring too!
The dumplings looked great and I've never seen that done at camp! Beautiful site too! Wow!

This a terrific primitive campsite. Great views on the trails too. So happy to have you a part of the channel. Appreciate the watch. ~RVA~
Awesome spot right along the river! Great park and more yummy food!!
Hopefully my vids give ppl some new camping food ideas. Cuz we all gotta eat!
@@RVAHikerGirl I know! It’s the fun part of camp cooking - always tastes better outside too! 😉🌻
Hello my friend, very nice site by the water. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.
Appreciate it Unpaved Explorer! You betcha!
Looks amazing! Love the sake ! Now that’s glam camping ! 🍶
Thank you Sandy! Love coming up with camp food that doesn't feel like camp food, lol!
Hey! Great vid, really enjoyed it 😃 I love camping by the water!
Thanks Karen! I'm a water sign so I always seek out water whenever I can out there! Thanks for checking out my vid!
Ooooh! Dinner looked good!
Thank you! Always looking for something yummy to make on the campfire!
Beautiful views!!! I know where my next camping trip will be. Thank you 🙏

I'm looking for campsites on the water where you can fish not far from your tent
@@tentman4fun this is one of those. James River State Park primitive sites is another one to check out
bigliked23 watching here with loove from the Philippines, this is a wonderful place to have a me-time
Thanks for watching all the way from the Phillippines!
What mic to you use with your phone? Do you use an iPhone?

So jealous,
When are we gonna hike together!?
I've been ready, just waiting on to pick a place! Ha Ha!
Do they sell firewood there? Great video, thanks!!
Yes, there's firewood right down by the campsites. It's an honor pay. ~RVA~
We are interested in staying here. From what you saw, which site # do you think is best out of the 12 sites.
This one. I show the site number in this video. ~RVA~
Hi hiker girl, I’m new to this u do this full time or part time, I’m trying set up my HHR LT for my part time camping how u being solo camping ?
Part time. I wish I could do this full time LOL! Love solo hiking and camping. I also have my car set up for car camping too that I do this time of the year when it's really cold to be able to extend my hikes. I have a video on that setup as well. ~RVA~
Can you tell me how can I reserve, the campground close to the river .
You have to call the 1800 number on the state park website. If you can the state park they will give you that number or it is located in the camping section of the website. Most of the primitive spots are walk in. Meaning you can just honor pay at the box, but you run the risk of them all being taken if you don't call ahead. Hole that helps.
How do I book a campsite? I couldn’t find the right name on Google.
You must be typing it in wrong. I typed it into a browser and it came ip right away.
Is this the only waterfront site ?
This is the best one but there are a few other primitive ones. But there are no waterfront campsites for RVs or for the cabins or yurts.
Which campsite is this? Thanks
Hey there, It says which campsite it is in the video. 🙂 I always say which campsites I am at in all of my videos so the viewers have that info. Thanks for stopping by. ~RVA~
Do I have to pay to rent camp at Shenandoah
Yes, All Virginia State Parks have camp site fees whether its a regular or primitive campsites.
What is the name of the campsite ?
The name? It's Shenandoah River State Park. The campsite doesn’t have a name but the number is in the video. Hope that helps. ~RVA~
is this site free?
Unfortunately no state park campsite site is free whether primitive or regular camping.
@@RVAHikerGirl really? I thought I've been finding a few maybe they aren't "state parks" then? I think there is a couple along Shenandoah one is called "Little Fort Campground" coming into the Front Royal Entrance.
@@Theworldisdoom3d dispersed sites In GWNF are great when you can find them. There’s no website or list you just have to stumble upon them.
@@Theworldisdoom3d oh forgot to mention, LFC is free but expect a lot of ATV noise since trail goes right passed there campground. Especially on the weekends.
Is the wagon at the campground. That looks like it mad it so much easier to get all your stuff to camp .
Yes it is! Convenient right? There are several right at the parking lot for people to use at the primitive camping area. ~RVA~
