I was in site C122, which was very near the entrance & camp store. The campground was very well maintained, the bathrooms were very clean. My neighbors were quiet and everyone seemed to follow the quiet hour rules. My campsite itself was also nice, it was a bit out in the open. There were no trees to provide any privacy, which doesn’t bother me but might not be ideal for some. There is no service anywhere in the camp, but if you drive about 10 minutes away to any nearby viewpoint in the park you will have enough bars to send a text. I would stay again 👍🏻

Great spot to get outdoors and camp! Good privacy without being too deep woods and have all the amenities nearby.

Shenandoah is an incredible park! I stayed on a walk up tent site and it went great. Staff member at check in was efficient and helpful, site was easy to find, bathroom was clean and not too far. I spent the weekend hiking all over the park and loved it. My ONLY complaint is paying $5 for a shower! Seems like that could be included in the $30/night camping fees.

Tent camped in a spot near a restroom for two nights. Nice place that requires generators in RVs to be cut off by 7 pm. (Thank you!) Oddly the check in office closes at around 3:45 PM which doesn't really make sense since check in is probably heaviest from 1-7 PM. It would make more sense to open that office 3 or 4 hours later and close 3 or 4 hours later. Bathroom was clean every time I used it. Camp hosts were friendly and helpful, but they don't camp in the designated camp host spot. They are in a different camp site that is not marked as the hosts. Another camper pointed them out so that's how we found them.

Campground was well kept. Gentleman at the ranger station was really helpful. I had originally booked a pull through site that was tent friendly, upon arrival site was rocky and ground was very uneven where tent set up was located. He helped get us moved to another site.
During our stay mowers came through and mowed sites. They hit a rock and sent it flying from the site next to us, it cut the fly on our tent and the tent itself. Thank goodness no one was in the tent or they could have been injured. Notified the ranger and she stated she would pass on the information to the mowers “to be more careful around sites”. She offered no apologies. Now thanks to their carelessness our new tent is ruined.
