Ranger was extremely helpful. She realized we were between group sites and relocated us. FYI the store in campground is mostly backpacker-related because of proximity to A.T. Plenty of firewood was available. Stores at the B.M. Wayside and visitor center have more touristy things as well as snacks, warm clothes, etc.

As always, Shenandoah is a beautiful place. The $5.00 showers for 10 minutes are ridiculous. Back to 5 minutes and half the price please.

Easily one of my favorite campgrounds in the US. Clean restrooms, tent sites are well maintained, many rental locations available. Great for solo campers or families. Great if you plan ahead or rent last minute.

Ranger Jack was great, his insights on the CCC are really interesting

one of my neighboring site has 7 people staying overnight, they were drinking, laughing and talking loudly until 2AM. nobody came to enforce the quiet time rule. the bathhouse was not clearly listing how the coin machine works, after inserting 20 quarters, try to find where to start timer, wasted lots of minutes, barely finished bath. they should have done better to inform how that timer works. then I tried to insert the 2nd batch of 5 dollar coin, after inserted 10 or so, the box won't accept more coins, it got jammed. totally bad experience.

Nice location in the middle of the park so it’s easy to reach hikes to the north and south. Stargazing in the meadow is so cool and I recommend trying to catch one of the stargazing events.

Beautiful, wonderful place. National park service does an amazing job of not over-managing and just letting people act responsibly and respectfully on their own. Keep it up folks!

Quiet hours don’t seem to be quiet hours anymore. Don’t know what can be done about it
