Quick Overview

Winchester is a historic city in the northern Shenandoah Valley, sitting at the northern end of I-81 in Virginia near the West Virginia border and about 75 miles west of Washington DC. The area has several motorhome dump stations available, with some offering free access. You'll find chemical disposal options at local facilities near the I-81 corridor. Winchester changed hands an astonishing 72 times during the Civil War due to its strategic position at the head of the valley, and the city's historic downtown preserves much of that turbulent era's architecture along the pedestrian-friendly Old Town walking mall. The city is also the center of Virginia's apple country, with orchards stretching across the surrounding countryside and the famous Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival each spring drawing tens of thousands. I-81 connects south through the entire Shenandoah Valley, and US-50 and US-522 provide east-west connections to the DC metro area and to West Virginia. For RVers entering or exiting the Shenandoah Valley from the north, Winchester is the gateway city with practical motorhome service point access and genuine American history at an affordable valley-town price.
