Very good location. Easy to get access to close nearby waterfalls, stunning sunset location is literally 10 minutes walk from a campground. Also, they are putting food storages on each campsite. My wife and I really love the location

The NPS staff are superior - super friendly and helpful. The facilities, visitor center, camp store are very nice. They are very dog friendly, but you must keep your dog on a leash and there is no dog park for releasing energy. Shenandoah National Forest is beautiful and filled with a diversity of plants and animals. Black bears are a reality - although I didn't see any during my June stay. Can be a stimulation overload for your faithful canine companion(s).

The staff was professional and friendly. This campground is usually a great experience. The visit was not as pleasant. Cars continually were driving the wrong way up the D loop, creating an unsafe situation, especially for children playing and oncoming cars. Also, towards the bottom of the D loop, the bathroom had extension cords coming out and feeding a lower campsite. Quiet hours not observed by some. I will certainly come again but hope for better control of the campground.

Great spot that is very accessible to everything in the park. It was our first time doing a multi day camp trip and it was great. Cannot recommend enough.

It was a nice, private area. The showers were also way better than I thought they would be. The drive and the hikes were very beautiful!

We really enjoyed the wild deer roaming around the campground and the drive there along the ridge was beautiful! Also the sunset from the lodge porch was great! Made some great memories there! Will definitely be back!
