Suggestions for some motorcycling camps in USA


Sarah Wy is going camping to North Carolina during the weekend in fact end of August 2019. She will start her ride in New York City (NYC).
She plans to ride the Skyline Drive and the Tail of Dragon.
She sought suggestions and/ or recommendations for campgrounds, routes, towns to visit.
Here are all the suggestions/ recommendations:

* Willsville in Medows of Dan VA is very nice and a great place to stay. It's just off the Blue Ridge  Parkway.

* Big Meadow campground. It's right in the middle of Skyline Drive. They have very nice bear boxes which are nice when you are tent camping in bear country.

* Iron Horse Motorcycle Lodge, Robinsville, NC. Close to Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway. One can also pick up free maps there showing many of the rides around western NC, GA, TN and VA.

* Skyline drive is in Virginia. When one gets to an information center on Blue Ridge Parkway they can give you a paper that has all of the campgrounds and gas stations that are near the parkway. Most of the national park campgrounds do not have showers.

* Skyline Village Inn, are great host and right on the drive in Little Switzerland. Do 45mph on the Skyline, federal road and fines are high. Rain gear and anti fog sauce.

* Stop into Dale's Wheel Through Time in Maggie Valley!  Awesome museum.  You should also camp at least one night at The Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort right at the Dragon.  You can also get a room there.

* Two Wheels of Suches is a pretty cool motorcycle campground.

* Kick Stand Lodge.


Bike ride on narrow road between sea and river near Pithrody Beach near Udupi in KA during monsoons 2019




Udupi - Pithrody Beach - Jog falls - Gokarna - Murdeshwar - Udupi monsoon ride 2019.

The feeling of riding on a narrow road with two different types of water bodies, viz. Arabian Sea on one side and river on the other is just so amazingly satisfying.
The videos were shot on a 10 km stretch from Mattu Beach to Malpe Beach near Udupi in Karnataka, a little north of Mangalore.
