What is Base Camp?
BaseCamp is a knowledge base for outdoor activities and adventure travel, created by Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine. Here, you can find a new hike, set up a rafting adventure or plan your tour for festival season. BaseCamp is constantly adding and updating new destinations and adventures, so bookmark us and check back often. You can also create your own BaseCamp entry. Maybe you represent an outfitter, a store, or a destination -- or maybe you want to make a page for your favorite hike. We encourage everybody to help BaseCamp become the best outdoor directory available. Click here to create an entry.| Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun |
