Bull Run Park is the best place around there to camp. I have stayed there
for the last 7 years.
I will be there again this year . On of the reasons that the campground is
usually full is because that
weekend is the "Run to the Wall" and the place is full of bikers. They have
been coming to the 
campground for the last 3 years. Areally nice bunch of people. I will be
there , 
"East Coast Joe" Gunyan will be there , and usually Dennis Haynes shows up
late on Saturday. If anyone is thinking of staying at Bull Run or just
visiting stop by at site 88.
