Newly revamped campground since Aug 4 2023. Seems they are still working the bugs out and hopefully are planning to finish up on some things. Having stayed at other campgrounds in Luray and other rv resorts owned by some of the same owners as this one, this one has some smoothing out to do. The positives: great location and views, level sites, near river, near town and stores, new buildings some new amenities. The negatives: Lack of security at front-no one checking car tags at all, site was too small for our camper and one truck- we were in the aisle, if campground was full we would not have been able to have our truck at our site...neither would have any of the other campers in the first sites in each row. Too short and campers too long in them . Need a size limit on them. Kids had no planned activities at all. No movies, no crafts, no bingo. Trick or treat got added a few days before the weekend but not on website. Sign in camp store. No prices of things on website until you try to book. Entrance poorly lit. Very hard to see in the dark. You have no idea where to turn coming from other side of divided highway. Totally blind and no sign. After 6p you are on your own. Everything closed and no employees in sight. We paid 500 to stay 4 nights. Self service check in since it was 615. No activities. Site too small. Water pressure so low my daughter could not get shampoo out of her hair. Saw One employee in 5 days. All gravel roads so very dusty. Hopefully things will improve. We'll go back to Jellystone for a bit.
The spring 2023 overhaul did not improve the existing sites. It seems the designers are not experienced RV campers. New sites are narrow, shallow and otherwise crammed into a tight area. We visited after pool and all the "resort" services are closed for season yet still charged the resort fee. After 5 years of visiting this place, this is our last. It's not worth it and there are options kinda nearby that are more value for the price.
We rolled the dice on the new RV campground, and were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed this place. We booked a standard back-in site and it easily fit our 37' camper with room to spare. The pool is phenomenal, and the playground was great for our three year old. 3 minute walk to the Shenandoah River. Well stocked camp store (bought a new hose and S'mores). It's just outside Luray, so close to everything without being too close. Definitely recommend the golf cart because of the size/space. Overall, great campground for RV.
We stayed at Luray RV resort the second weekend in August & this is now one of our favorite campgrounds! The staff and campers are friendly and helpful. The deluxe back in sites are a little tight, but we did not mind. This campground is huge, so bringing our own golf cart really helped! The views at this campground are incredible, you are surrounded by beautiful mountains! The comfort stations are super nice, they have a mini split in them. The glamping yurts are pretty sweet, those have a mini split as well. There is so much to do, the pool and water slides are awesome on a hot day. My boyfriend loved the mountain bike track and the RC track. Being able to tube the Shenandoah River right from the campground is great! The walkway down to the river looks to be still under construction. Only one small complaint. The gravel is very very dusty. They should have a water truck come in and water the gravel to help cut down on the dust. We look forward to our stay this weekend for Labor Day!
We took a gamble staying here for a week in Oct. after seeing some reviews, but I'm glad we did because we had a great time. They have so many activities around the campground our family enjoyed so we didn't leave except to get groceries the location was great within 7min we can be at Walmart. The grounds are well kept, the RV spots are spacious, maintained bath houses, we thought the many ways you could stay was neato so if our family doesn't have a camper they have plenty of options. Our family really enjoyed our stay, the staff was very courteous and attentive so that was a plus for us too.
