Default Summer Trip..I need Maps. Please Help

A friend and I are taking a trip this July 2012. We are taking the Auto Train from Sanford, Fl. to Lorton, Va. From there we are riding to Washington for some sight seeing, then to Front Royal, Va. Then we are taking Skyline Drive through the Shenandoah National Forest and also the Blue Ridge Parkway. Then back home to Florida. We are going to camp almost every night.... (Blue Ridge Motorcycle Camp Ground and Iron Horse Lodge). I'm looking for maps of the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway. I know there are ones to download, but wanted to know if anyone knows of a website that I can order some or have free ones sent...like brochures. Thanks in advance for your input.

Yes, I have a GPS... Garmin Zumo 550. However, I'm looking for maps with sights online the roads. Tourist maps

Thanks for the input. I also need some decent camp sites along those roads if anyone knows any. Maybe I should post another thread for that.

Thanks guys. Yes, I have googled this info. I was just wondering if anyone had stayed in any of these camp sites, and if so how are they. A nice website does not mean it's a good camping site.

The AutoTrain is a ton of fun and they are really good with handling the bikes. They know what they are doing. My advice is get a sleeper cabin. The food is damn good too.

Default Camping ?

You want maps that show camp grounds after you said that you and your friend decided to stay at motels and not to camp...Smoke on...
