Advance Lodging and Skyline Drive Reservation Guidance
While the Blue Ridge Parkway generally requires no entry fee, connecting to Skyline Drive within Shenandoah National Park involves a separate entrance permit. Lodging at Peaks of Otter or local glamping sites often fills months ahead, especially during the fall foliage peak. Always verify current road status and seasonal facility hours via the official National Park Service portal before arrival.
