Definitely talk with the rangers and take advantage of their local knowledge; they WILL make your trip better. Thos was our favorite campground for dusk-to-nighttime activities, including sunsets, deer watching, and stargazing. Evenings here were outstanding.
We did a daytime hike to Rapidan, and then went back to read about the Hoover administration and the establishment of Rapidan. It really extended the fun of that hike for us
The Dark Hollows Fall hike was lovely...we enjoyed the Rapidan hike more, though.
We scarfed down our burgers and a blackberry milkshake at the Wayside - don't miss it. It's definitely not oversold, which I presumed would be the case.
This campground was so great that we stayed an extra night, and that gave us the thrill of seeing fog roll in and fill up the valley in the blink of an eye. And then it rolled out just as quickly.
We saw several shooting stars and dozens of satellites. Very, very cool.
We really loved our stay here.
PS...Not kidding about the Wayside. It's legit.

Campground is centrally located in the park. Facilities were plentiful and very clean. Water also close by. Welcoming. Even though it's a huge campground, very quiet. The showers, even though $5 for 10 minutes, very hot water and enough for two people to shower consecutively with time left!
