The campground and lake area were nice, clean and well maintained. We were in site 2 which actually had a 30 amp (and 15 amp) even though it was only listed as 15 amp. .

Website says 15 amp electric, but we had 30 amp available..so please update website. Winding, narrow local roads into the campground. Sites are mostly sloped, some have a level back area, but if you have a larger rig... you'll have to raise the front a lot to be "Level". No water at individual sites, so fill before you come, unless you want to block the road for 1/2 hour while you fill your tank. Will avoid this campground if possible in the future.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The sites were spacious and well spaced. On the West Virginia side of Shenandoah, it is about an hour drive away from the North entrance to the park near Front Royal and 90 minutes from the Thornton Gap entrance near the center of the park. Those drives are not insignificant but this gets you away from the crowds and traffic in the park and provides a comfortable peaceful place to stay. There are a couple of pleasant short hikes (<5 mi) here as well. Bathrooms are clean with warm (not hot) showers. In October the bathrooms were definitely not toasty! No cell phone service from Sprint, TMobile or Verizon.
