Traveling to Broadway by RV

Interstate 81 provides the main artery into Broadway, with Exit 273 putting you right in the heart of town within minutes. This major north-south corridor handles motorhome traffic easily, though you'll encounter mountain grades both north and south of the valley that require downshifting in larger rigs. The scenic approach from the east via Route 259 through the mountains offers stunning views but includes some steep grades and winding sections better suited for smaller RVs.

Route 11 (the old Valley Pike) runs parallel to I-81 and provides a more leisurely alternative with historic markers and small-town charm, though it does pass through several communities with traffic lights. For fuel and last-minute supplies, the Sheetz station at Exit 273 can accommodate most motorhome lengths, while the Love's Travel Stop 15 minutes south in Harrisonburg offers full truck services including motorhome-friendly fuel lanes and a larger convenience store.

Coming from Washington D.C. or Northern Virginia, expect about 90 minutes of driving time via I-66 west to I-81 south. The mountain crossing on I-66 includes a long downgrade that requires careful speed management in larger rigs. From Richmond, take I-64 west to I-81 north for approximately two hours of mostly flat interstate driving. Stock up on groceries and supplies in Harrisonburg before heading to your caravan site, as Broadway's options are limited to a small IGA grocery store and a few convenience stores.

Explore the Broadway Area

For the best overall camping experience, consider the larger motorhome resorts on the outskirts of town that offer full service pitch, swimming facilities, and easy access to both I-81 and local attractions. These parks typically provide the most reliable Wi-Fi and cell service, important considerations given the valley's mountain geography that can create dead zones in more remote locations.

Boondockers should explore the dispersed camping opportunities in George Washington National Forest, particularly along Forest Service roads west of town. While these spots don't offer hookups, they provide incredible mountain solitude and are completely free. Always check current fire restrictions and road conditions before venturing into the national forest, especially during winter months or after heavy rains.

The Broadway Farmers Market on Saturday mornings (seasonal) offers fresh local produce and crafts perfect for stocking your motorhome pantry. For dining out, don't miss the Southern Kitchen for authentic Virginia comfort food, or drive 10 minutes to Timberville for the famous Shenandoah Pizza. Both restaurants have adequate parking for smaller RVs, though you might want to unhitch for easier maneuvering.

Pet owners will appreciate that most local campgrounds welcome furry companions, and the nearby Shenandoah River provides excellent swimming opportunities for dogs during warmer months. The river access points also offer some of the valley's best sunset photography, especially from the bridge on Route 259 east of town.
