A Haunted RV Road Trip Pt. 3: More Spooky Spots Near Campgrounds with Shannon Minner
On this week’s special Halloween episode of The RV Atlas Podcast, we’re taking you on another leg of our Haunted RV Road Trip series with our resident “Camping Librarian,” Shannon Minner. In previous years, Shannon guided us through haunted campgrounds and spooky destinations from coast to coast. This time, she’s serving up something a little different: haunted bars and restaurants where you can grab a drink, enjoy a meal, and soak up some eerie atmosphere before retreating to the comfort of your RV for the night at a nearby campground.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> From the haunted speakeasies of New Hampshire to the witchy taverns of Salem, the ghostly pubs of Charleston, and the haunted saloons of the Wild West, these are some of the best destinations for a spooky (and delicious) RV road trip.<br /> Bretton Woods, New Hampshire<br /> <br /> <br /> The Omni Mount Washington Hotel<br /> <br /> Perched at the base of Mount Washington, this grand white hotel looks like it was designed to star in a ghost story—and in many ways, it has. Built in 1902 by wealthy coal magnate Joseph Stickney, the Omni Mount Washington became a playground for the elite. When Stickney died soon after the hotel’s completion, his wife Carolyn inherited it. She later remarried a French prince but reportedly continued to visit the property—and some say she never left.<br /> <br /> Guests and staff often report sightings of Carolyn, especially in Room 314, which still contains her original bed. The hotel features three restaurants and three bars, including the prohibition-era speakeasy known as “The Cave.” It’s a cozy, candlelit lounge beneath the hotel where staff have reported unexplained activity—most famously, a set of teacups that mysteriously flew from behind the bar before shattering on the floor.<br /> <br /> The Omni is a spectacular stop for travelers exploring the White Mountains, even if you just drop in for dinner or a drink. The 1902 Restaurant serves breakfast and dinner in a grand dining room, while Stickney’s Pub and Steakhouse offers upscale comfort food and mountain views.<br /> <br /> Nearby Camping:<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Mountain Lake Camping Resort (Lancaster, NH) – A family-friendly favorite with a swimming lake, water slides, and RV sites plus cabins, yurts, and tipis. Perfect for campers who prefer fun over fear.<br /> <br /> <br /> Moose Brook State Park (Gorham, NH) – For those who prefer peace and pine needles, this rustic park offers tent and RV sites without hookups but plenty of natural charm.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bonus excursion: Ride the Mount Washington Cog Railway for panoramic views—and maybe a few ghostly chills on the mountain’s summit.<br /> Salem, Massachusetts<br /> Turner’s Seafood and Rockafellas<br /> <br /> You can’t talk about haunted America without mentioning Salem, the site of the infamous witch trials of 1692–1693. The town draws visitors year-round, but it truly comes alive (and perhaps a little undead) in October. If you’re planning to visit, make reservations early—many attractions and restaurants are open only on select days of the week, even during peak season.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Turner’s Seafood sits on the site of Bridget Bishop’s former apple orchard. Bridget was the first woman executed during the witch trials, and many believe her spirit lingers near the restaurant. Patrons have reported seeing a woman in a flowing white gown at the top of the staircase and catching whiffs of phantom apple scents. For a signature drink, order the Campfire Espresso Martini—a fitting toast for Halloween campers.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> A few blocks away, Rockafellas occupies a striking old bank building that once stood on the site of Salem’s first church. Its resident ghost, Sarah “The Blue Lady,” was supposedly murdered by a jealous sea captain and is still spotted in the alley and on the restaurant’s security cameras.

Big Meadows Campground and Big Meadows Lodge in the Heart of Shenandoah National Park
Discover Big Meadows Campground and Big Meadows Lodge in Shenandoah National Park. Learn where to camp, dine, and stay for the perfect Blue Ridge Mountain getaway.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> On this week’s episode of The RV Atlas Podcast, we dive into one of our favorite destinations in the East—Shenandoah National Park—and explore two equally incredible ways to stay there: Big Meadows Campground and Big Meadows Lodge. Whether you love rustic camping or prefer the cozy comfort of a lodge, Big Meadows is a national park experience that delivers both serenity and convenience.<br /> <br /> You can find more recommendations for exploring Shenandoah National Park in “Where Should We Camp Next?: National Parks.”<br /> Shenandoah National Park Basics<br /> <br /> <br /> Shenandoah is unlike most national parks. Instead of being a single large expanse of land, it stretches along a narrow, 105-mile ridge of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The park follows Skyline Drive, a scenic highway that connects Front Royal in the north to the Blue Ridge Parkway in the south. Along the way, you’ll find overlooks, trailheads, lodges, and campgrounds—all perched high above the Virginia countryside.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> For travelers coming from the Mid-Atlantic or Northeast, Shenandoah is a surprisingly accessible park. It’s roughly five hours from New Jersey, three from Washington D.C., and four from Philadelphia or Baltimore.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> At about the halfway point on Skyline Drive, you’ll find the Big Meadows area, which serves as the park’s central hub. This area includes:<br /> <br /> The Byrd Visitor Center, with excellent exhibits and ranger programs <br /> A concessionaire-run grill and gift shop <br /> The Big Meadows wildlife viewing area, famous for deer and black bear sightings <br /> Big Meadows Campground, one of the most popular in the park <br /> Big Meadows Lodge, a classic national park lodge with sunset views and rustic charm <br /> <br /> Everything in this area is walkable, making Big Meadows one of the most convenient and rewarding base camps for exploring Shenandoah.<br /> Big Meadows Campground <br /> <br /> <br /> Big Meadows Campground is a quintessential National Park Service camping experience—peaceful, wooded, and surrounded by trails. We think it’s one of the most beautiful and best-located campgrounds in the eastern U.S.<br /> Season and Reservations<br /> The campground typically operates from late March through late November, weather permitting, and reservations can be made at Recreation.gov. Fall weekends fill quickly, so early booking is essential.<br /> Layout and Site Details<br /> <br /> <br /> Big Meadows is a large, heavily wooded campground with several loops and a mix of sites for tents, pop-ups, small trailers, vans, and mid-size RVs. A few sites can handle larger rigs, but most are better suited for smaller setups due to tight turns, trees, and sloped terrain. When booking, it’s worth scrolling through the photos of each site on Recreation.gov to find one that fits your rig and camping style.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Sites are spacious and private, with thick tree cover that gives the campground a quiet, natural feel. It’s not unusual to see deer grazing right beside your site at dawn or dusk—and sometimes even in the middle of the day.<br /> Facilities and Amenities<br /> <br /> <br /> This is dry camping, so there are no hookups, but amenities are solid for a national park campground:<br /> <br /> Bathrooms: Flush restrooms are located throughout the loops and are generally clean and comfortable. <br /> Showers: A central heated bathhouse offers hot showers for $5 per 10 minutes. The same building also includes a small camp store that sells firewood, ice, bug spray, snacks, and a few camping essentials. <br /> Ranger Programs: The amphitheater hosts evening programs such as stargazing, wildlife talks,
