Facility Overview
Marshall Mobile Home Park is situated at 100 Marshall Park Lane in the tranquil mountain community of Meadows of Dan, Virginia (Patrick County). The property features open-air surface parking integrated within the residential community grounds. Configured primarily as outdoor driveways and designated surface parking bays adjoining homesites, the facility accommodates standard passenger vehicles, pickup trucks, SUVs, and utility trailers.
