A beautiful campground. Site was very nice with an apple tree. The park ranger was also very helpful and engaging.

The site was large and well maintained. We didn’t realize which direction the road, so it was a little awkward with our RV because the site is on the left side. It wasn’t a big deal, as there was room between the driveway and the road to set up the griddle. We didn’t end up staying around the campground much.

Listing at the time of reservation was not 100% clear. My brother and I booked two site side by side at the same time, F164 and F166. I booked F164 and was under the understanding that they were both the same sites capable of a “Very Large” tent. I also understood that my site also had a bear box. Upon arrival the site was so small we couldn’t fit 2 vehicles on it, let alone we could barely fit a large tent and a small tent. We got written up for “being on the grass” but it all looked as if it was just dirt or gravel there. The second site my brother booked was large enough to hold their two tents, 3 vehicles with plenty of extra room. We got written up another time for having ONE!! tire half way off the pavement. It was overall a horrible experience for our first time camping here. We will definitely be looking into Big Meadows for any filter camping trips to Shenandoah.

Campground is much more quite than Big Meadows. Showers and full camp store are conveniently located within walking distance

Nice tent sites that are reasonably secluded. Restroom and wash facilities are very good and clean.

Our site was nicely located and spacious. Pay attention to all the notes in the Need to Know section-our original site F172 was too tight of a pull-through for our 20 foot TT and pick-up. The ranger was very helpful in getting us into an alternate site. Most of the sites are a pull-through, some are very shallow and short.
