Nice campground located in the Shenandoah National Park. I'm not sure when it changed, but at one time, you could drive up and get a first come site. Now, all sites are reservable, so make sure to book online.

There are walk-in tent only sites and a lot of sites where you can park an RV but can also tent or car camp. Some sites and loops allow generator use a few times a day but they cannot run all day/night. Check the rules if you need to bring power. There are not hookups at this campground.

I especially like this campground because it is close to the lodge. When opened you can walk up for a nice meal or just hang out in the longe area and take in the views.

I also like this campground because it is near a number of trails. You can hike short or long distances. I prefer loop style hikes and there are a number of those around.

I also like that you could walk to the camp store to pick up supplies you may have forgotten or just get a Cheeseburger 🍔.

Tip: if you don't have a cell signal, walk toward the western edge of the mountain. Western facing views will often pick up a cell signal. That includes western facing lookouts along Skyline Drive.
