About 'monticello visitors center'|My DC Trip...Part II: Monticello








One               of               the               nicest               campgrounds               I               have               visited               in               the               state               of               Virginia               is               the               Christopher               Run               Campground.

The               campground               is               located               at               7149               Zachary               Taylor               Hwy,               Mineral,               VA               23117               on               Route#               522               and               is               within               easy               driving               distance               of               Washington,               DC               and               Northern               Virginia,               and               very               convenient               to               Richmond,               Fredericksburg,               Charlottesville,               and               Culpepper,               VA.

This               campground               has               campsites               and               facilities               for               trailers               and               recreational               vehicles               (RV's).

What               is               really               great               is               that               you               can               often               have               a               private               tie-up               for               your               boat               that               is               within               walking               distance               of               many               of               the               campsites               near               the               water.

During               our               stays               at               the               campground,               we               were               able               to               tie               up               our               pontoon               boat               within               feet               of               the               two               campsites               we               were               using               with               a               5th               wheel               travel               trailer               and               a               hard               side               popup               camper.

I               always               love               hearing               the               fish               jumping               out               of               the               water               and               the               big               splashes               when               they               fell               back               in.
               The               camp               store               offers               many               food               and               drink               items,               including               giving               you               the               ability               to               purchase               fishing               licenses               for               both               in               state               or               out               of               state               visitors.
