    By my calculation, it's about five miles from Asheville to the U.S. Highway 74 junction with the Blue Ridge Parkway (milepost 384.7). From there, you'll wind your way up the BRP to the junction with U.S. Highway 21 (milepost 229); take US-21 northwest through Sparta, NC, and continue on to Wytheville. That's about 41 miles. So in total, you're looking at a mileage of 201.7 miles!

    The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of America's signature scenic drives, and so consequently is well set to accommodate visitors, including campers. The NPS operates nine developed campgrounds along the length of the Parkway, but amenities are fairly basic with nonelectric tent and RV sites and comfort stations and restrooms bu no shower hookups. There are plenty of RV and other campgrounds off the parkway, which offer more amenities and services.

    It's a little under 100 miles, with Asheville at milepost 380 and Boone just off milepost 290. Plan on spending at least three to four hours driving this scenic stretch, with its fair share of twists, turns, scenic overlooks (not to mention, places to hike), and traffic snarls!
