Mathews Arm Campground

It is always better to have public shower in the camping site. A 34 don’t have camping ground.

We use the group sites for our church's youth group every other year. Always quiet and fairly private. Group bathrooms were very clean as well. Located relatively closely to the north entrance of Skyline Drive as well as Luray and Sperryville.

We spent two nights at Mathews Arm Campground. One night heading south on July 20, 2023. One night heading North on July 24, 2023. On the July 24, 2023 day the Ranger was very accommodating and made us feel comfortable, welcome. I have been coming to Mathews Arm for over 30 years. Except the years it was closed. I have seen the trees grow up to be mature. Many improvements including the Entrance Building and overflow Parking Lot. The bathrooms were not clean as they should be. And showing signs of aging which I found common on my trip to different campgrounds. Also the Dump Station could use some attention to the concrete pad. The place in general is very well kept. We really do enjoy going their.

The place was peaceful and quiet, but the toilets and showers were in dire need of repairs or replacements as they were in poor condition.

If I could change one thing, I would have an access path from the road to the restrooms so that there is no need to go through someone else's campsite. For example, the Rest area behind sites A6 and A8 can't be reached from that side without going through one of the campsites.

I was hiking south on the AT earlier in the week of 7/3 and ran into some logistical troubles. The ranger at Mathews Arm helped me connect with my ride and booked me a 2nd night in a more accessible camp site so I could get organized and picked up. This was all last minute when I arrived -- he was very kind and helpful. I got my ride as planned and the section hike ended up going really well. Thank you, Mathews Arm!
