Awesome video as always Coddiwomple Overland. The Blue Ridge Parkway is so magnificent I've been on the BRP two times and it's so beautiful the first time I got sick but the second time is burned into my memory forever as some of the most beautiful and amazing scenery.

Pisgah is basically our backdoor outside recreation area and you are correct in two points, crowded and hard to find dispersed camping if you're not in a tent. I've got a few spots that I can get to where I won't be run off or fined, but you best go during the week. I've been all over the NF sites in NC, TN and GA and while there are plenty of spots where you can use a trailer, there are also great spots you would have a hard time getting that Gladiator in. I find a Tacoma/4Runner sized vehicle great compromise, but then I generally go solo, sleep in the back of the rig and tend to be a bit of a minimalist. Like most things in life, finding the balance between convenience and flexibility is key. Great video on The Parkway.

My family has driven the BRP completely several times and partial trips even more. Y’all stopped and explored some of our favorite spots. The spot where you were walking across the creek on the grist mill disks is where my favorite family pic is from. Peaks of Otter and Mabry Mill is also a fam fav. One place you didn’t stop (at least on the video) is Devil’s Courthouse. My kids love the climb and the views from there. As always, thanks for sharing your trip!!

Doing the BRP from north to south is on our bucket list. Will have to watch this again to get camping spot ideas so you don’t have to use the developed campgrounds. We have camped many times off of the Bald Mountain Jeep trail. It will definitely give your vehicle some pinstripes. Be glad you didn’t meet anyone on there as the pull of spots can be few and far between.

So much overlanding. Not commuting, not traveling, not road tripping, and definitely not camping. No sir, we were overlanding.
