My husband and I were able to get a Saturday night site at the last minute with no stress. There is ample space in between the sites; no trouble falling asleep- the creek is soothing to sleep to. Swimming hole was fun-there was a rope for kids to jump into the water. VERY friendly staff--Pam was a delight; very accommodating. Bathrooms were pretty decent; didn't use the showers so I can't comment. Friendly campers, safe, and pet friendly. Our site was primitive-no electric/water, but that's because we booked at the last minute. Plan to return next month!
Camped here for a weekend in early April while we day hiked the AT and it was fantastic. Pam, the manager, was great. She was very friendly and helpful. Our campsite where we parked our van was next to the creek and it had electricity and water. Hot showers and bathrooms were also available which were kept very clean. We will definitely be going back!
Beautiful setting on the creek and in a great location relative to Shenandoah, but that’s about where it ends.
As many reviewers mention, the vehicle sounds driving on the overhead bridge are relentless and really take away from it all. It’s way louder than you expect. I would’ve heard less cars had I camped in my own backyard.
Although I don’t have very high expectations or even need bathroom facilities while camping, these weren’t as expected based on other reviewers. They were far from clean. Yes, the water was hot and 1 of the toilets flushed. Just make sure you “poop” in the right one.
More concerning than the facilities, Pam did not seem to like having kids in her campground. We had 5 children in our group under 10. They are all respectful, well-behaved children, but she managed to make them feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. She told them she didn’t want them riding their bikes “all over the place” and that they should stay in their campsite. They all ended up being scared of her yelling at them instead of exploring.
Overall, we still had a good time and made lots of memories, but this review is for the campground itself. I believe this place was probably very nice at one time, and maybe will be again someday…. but for now, you can find something better for the same price.
Great location on the creek but we barely slept because the cars on the bridge above are so loud. We hoped it would get more quiet as it got later… but the vehicles never stopped. It a good spot during the day but I won’t be camping there again.
Beautiful, well-maintained site, close to town. The owner was especially friendly and accommodating. Only negative point would be the bridge on one end of the site, which seems to have constant traffic. Bring earplugs for sure, but otherwise enjoy the site
