When we visited Roanoke, VA last year, we looked a When we visited Roanoke, VA last year, we looked at camping at Dixie Caverns, but ended up at Explore Park in Roanoke instead. We still made it out to the caves for a tour, though! We're big cave fans, and even though this was just a simple walking tour (we like to crawl and get dirty!), it was a really great tour. The guide had so many fun stories for the different formations they've named over the years and it was a great way to spend a saturday.
