Piney Hill/PSL information
Don: I think that Yogi Bear campground is actually on the east side of Luray, more towards the base of the Blue Ridge and Skyline Drive. It's probably not more than 20 minutes away from the range.
The closest actual address for the chicken house is that of the Piney Hill B & B, which is directly across the road from the indoor range. That address is 1048 Piney Hill Road, Luray, VA 22835. They're a very high end B&B and probably wouldn't appreciate being associated with a chicken house and indoor range, but they picked the neighborhood. It's very rural.
