Mathews Arm Campground

No showers. Poor sites to place tents

We had a great time camping, hiking and catching up with friends. However, the size of campsite didn't match description in reservation system. We reserved three sites for our group. The sites noted that 2 tents fit in one campsite. However, we could barely fit one tent (6 people). We had to move the table to the side to accommodate the tent. We even considered putting it on the driveway. That is to say that terrain of the campsites we had did not allow for 2 tens as described on reservation site. Other than that, everything was great. Thank you.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Campgrounds well maintained. - Love the food storage units.

This campground was mostly empty during the mid-week. It appears that 70% of park is first-come first-served. Many of the sites can handle larger RV's. Unfortunately the hike to the waterfalls was cut short by reports of no water going over the falls.

Beautiful campground - so convenient and close to great hikes! We stayed in a group site and it was perfect for little kids and adults alike. The bathrooms were great too - real toilets!

Mathew's Arm campground is at the north end of the Shenandoah National Park. There is so much to see and so many trails to hike that it is difficult to single out any activity to recommend. We could have stayed for a month and not exhausted all of the possibilities. Outside of the park the Luray Caverns are a must see, but inside the park it is all about becoming one with nature!
