Quick Overview
Lexington is a historic college town in the Shenandoah Valley of central Virginia, home to both Washington and Lee University and Virginia Military Institute (VMI), and steeped in Civil War history as the burial place of both Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. The area has several motorhome dump stations available, with some offering free access. You'll find chemical disposal options at local campgrounds and motorhome parks in the Shenandoah Valley area. Lexington sits along I-81 and I-64 in one of the most beautiful stretches of the valley, with the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and the Allegheny Mountains to the west. The Virginia Horse Center just north of town is one of the largest equestrian facilities in the eastern US, hosting major competitions that bring horse trailers and RVs from across the country. Natural Bridge, a 215-foot natural limestone arch that was once owned by Thomas Jefferson, is about 15 miles south. The Blue Ridge Parkway is accessible from nearby, and the Maury River runs through the area with good fishing and tubing. For RVers who love American history, beautiful mountain valley scenery, and college-town charm, Lexington is one of the finest stops on the I-81 corridor.
