Hear from last year's winner!

Thanks to Legacy House Title, Brenda and her family were able to stay in the Postcard cabin last year.

"The crazy part about us winning this giveaway is that I had told my husband of my desire to go see the fall foliage at Shenandoah for my birthday, and the dates for the giveaway happened to line up perfectly with my birthday weekend! I definitely felt like it was a gift from the Lord through Monthly Blessing."

We're hoping to make someone else's October just as special this year. Enter before October 15th to win a free 2-night stay at www.monthlyblessing.com.

Why Do YOU Camp?

Is it the crisp mountain air and those gorgeous autumn leaves crunching beneath your feet as you hike through the colorful forest? Or are you out there to gaze up at the stars, those amazing constellations that shine so brilliantly when the town lights can't interfere?

Maybe it's both! 🍂✨

Tell us in the comments: What's your real reason for camping? We'd love to know what draws you to the great outdoors!

Don’t forget to enter to win a 2-night stay in a Postcard cabin this October. Enter before October 15th at www.monthlyblessing.com.

🍂 Now That Fall is Officially Here…

Get ready to witness Virginia's most beautiful transformation! As we officially enter fall, the Virginia Department of Forestry and Virginia State Parks are gearing up to track and share the stunning fall foliage progression across our state.

Starting September 24, 2026, foliage reports will be available so you can plan the perfect autumn adventure! Colors typically peak between October 10-31, though timing varies each year based on temperature and rainfall.
