Taking a spring RV camping trip? Natural Bridge, VA, in the Shenandoah Valley,
is one of the finest destinations for scenic beauty, outdoor activities and
natural wonders! Surrounded by the Blue
Ridge Mountains, Natural Bridge, VA and its attractions are popular with RV
campers of all ages!
The Natural Bridge is listed as one of the Seven Natural
Wonders of the World! The bridge, twenty
stories of solid rock carved by nature, is so amazing that Thomas Jefferson
purchased it from England’s King George III!
It was surveyed by George Washington and crossed by Civil War soldiers,
so history is alive at this natural wonder!
Close to the Natural Bridge is the Monacan Indian Native
American Village complex. It’s a living
history village where visitors can observe what life was like for Native
Americans 300 years ago. Guides conduct
presentations and answer questions. The Monacan Indians discovered The Natural
Bridge and called it “The Bridge of God”.
Nearby are the Natural Bridge Caverns, which opened to the
public in 1977. Visitors descend more
than 34 stories underground to see several enormous rooms, lakes and
stalactites and stalagmites that were formed over thousands of years.
Cedar Creek Trail, just under a mile long, includes The
Natural Bridge and the Native American Village.

and late in the evening.
