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.
