Mountains and foothills

Blue Ridge Parkway, the Smokies, Asheville, Boone and the I-40 and I-26 climbs. Most dump stations here sit inside park campgrounds, are for campers only and some close for winter. Stone Mountain State Park is the one we've found open to the public, for a fee. Propane is easy at travel centers and farm stores.
