September is a wonderful time of year to travel as the weather is still warm, and traffic isn't quite as heavy as you would find during October leaf season. You may want to contact Parkway headquarters directly with any concerns you may have about traveling the Parkway in your 24' motorhome. 828-271-4779 @Wally Sexton Wally, Please see previous comments containing links to the tunnel heights.

Is there ample pull off area parking for motorhomes and is the road width ok for a small motorhome. Is there camping in the park along the way? Thanks so much for any info.

There are picnic areas at Rocky Knob, mp 169, that's probably the closest one to Mabry Mill. Check out Virtual Blue Ridge's parkway tour for more info on all the different picnic areas - http://www.virtualblueridge.com/parkway_tour/. Weather looks great for a weekend picnic!

We do not have an agenda or time limit. Just go and ride. Any suggestions that might help us along the way? Thanks, Alan Peck @Paula

NPS campgrounds on the Parkway only allow for 30' RVs but many of the communities along the Parkway can provide camping accomodations for larger RVs.
