Shenandoah Meadows is a 40 acre retreat located in the Shenandoah Valley, just 90 minutes from Washington DC (Thats only one podcast and half a playlist drive!). The property has some of the best views the Valley has to offer and is nestled in the Massanutten mountains between the North and South Forks of the Shenandoah River. Come enjoy the property and amenities, or use this as a jumping off point for daily adventures into the George Washington National Forest or other area attractions!
Tent sites were ok, but the closer bathhouse to the sites were “closed” when we visited. There was no signage to let us know to use the cabin bathrooms, or that potable water was only available from those bathrooms. Like other reviews mention, it could be tricky reaching the tent sites without 4 wheel drive. We bought firewood from the site but it was pretty wet (left out uncovered) making it hard to start a fire.
On the plus side, the tent sites are really large and feel secluded, and the site is relatively close to Shenandoah Natl Park.
A secret gem! Beautiful, rustic mini cabins in a gorgeous valley. You can step out of the cabins and see mountains on both sides along with a large lake. Close to hiking trails. A cute country store down the road. A quiet, special getaway - we will be back!

Fantastic tiny home/cabin! AC unit one bed upstairs one pull out cozy couch/bed on main floor. Microwave, mini fridge, smart Tv and WiFi! Sleeps four people comfortably with option to have a tent outside for star gazers! Amazing view of the mountains, awesome animal songs all night and the sun (if in tent) wakes you up ever so naturally. Beautiful pond drains into a stream that falls over a a series of little cliffs. Felt rejuvenated after spending a weekend getaway here.
The owner is absolutely in love with his property. He has been waiting a long time to make his dream a reality, has big plans in motion to make this great site a wonderland for outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds.
Highly recommended for hikers since there are many trails all around download "all trails" to see them all. :)
*Bring real bug repellant if you go on trails or venture around camp site. Ticks live in VA woods.
Beautiful, I'm so in love with nature. This place has everything for a great camping experience.
Recently camped at this site with my boyfriend and had an eventful stay. The location was convenient, not far from Luray, offering great dining options nearby while feeling secluded enough for a camping experience. However, accessing the campsites was a surprise as they required an SUV, not mentioned on the website. Luckily, we had ours; otherwise, camping wouldn't have been possible.
Another setback was the damp firewood supplied, making it tricky to start a fire on the first night. Additionally, unexpected and disruptive sirens went off multiple times, disrupting our sleep.
Yet, amidst these surprises, a friendly cat graced us with its presence, making our camping trip memorable. The hot showers were a plus, but it's worth noting that the site is actually an hour away from Shenandoah National Park. So, if proximity to the park is a priority, this might not be your best bet.
So if you're up for a mix of adventure and unexpected furry friends, this could be an enjoyable camping spot.
P.S. Here’s some pictures of the cat. If you see him/ her , please be kind and give them lots of love and attention. He/she is the best kitty ever.
