Shenandoah River State Park Campground

Great campground with huge, private, gravel spots. Many pull through site and back in sites are easy to pull into in spite of hills. Easy walk to several nice trails and river access. Most spots are equally nice. Some on outside of loop have direct trail access. Clean bathhouse, dumpster is at the top of the hill but not too far. Definitely a good spot to set up and stay a while or use it as a base camp for exploring the area. There is a nice little visitor center with some good activities in the park. Be sure to check out the view from the overlook. Definitely worth a visit!

This campground had everything that I like in a State Park: hookups, good bath house (immaculately clean), hiking trails on site, picnic table and fire ring, plenty of space, not too many campers, pretty vistas, quiet.

I would stay here again.

ATT was only one bar at our site but our pepwave turned that into decent Wi-Fi.

Firewood available for $6 bundle at the camp host site (honor system.)

We stayed here two nights in April (mid-week) and will certainly return. The RV camping area is small, but that is a plus in terms of noise and closeness to nature.
Our site was level crushed stone, which kept mud to a minimum, and had a newer picnic table and fire ring. Firewood was easily accessible via the camp host at a site close to ours. The sites are tiered, adding additional privacy. Various trails also radiate from the campground.
On-site water and shore power were just fine, as was the nearby dump station Staff was universally friendly Highly recommend!

We love the Shenandoah Valley and enjoyed our two weeks here. The campground spots were well-spaced and we felt like we had a good amount of privacy, even without leaves on the trees and bushes. Lots of hike options directly from the campground, either along the river or up the ridge. The campground is about 15 minutes from Front Royal and 30 minutes from Winchester.

The nightly price was a little high considering there aren’t sewer hookups at the sites.

We didn’t realize until we’d arrived that Verizon has zero service at the campground - so plan ahead if that’s your only service! There is WiFi available at the Visitor Center (which was open 9am-4pm while we were there), and the WiFi password is visible through the glass if you don’t want to go in.

The bathhouse is a little dated and the showers are separate closets along the back of the building. Laundry facilities are also in the bathhouse and are $0.75 each (two washers and two dryers, and the laundry room also has an industrial size sink).

We stopped here when there was a winter storm warning and it was the perfect place to hunker down for the next couple days. The next day they plowed all the roads and the host kindly gave us a shovel so we could clear out our van. It’s less than a 5 min walk to the Shenandoah River, beautiful path Along it that is accessible from campground. This campsite is worth every penny!

We loved our stay at Shenandoah River State Park! The sites are very big, private and level. Our site (Site 10) was very easy to back into. Each site has water and electric hookups, a fire pit with grate, and picnic table. There is a dump station in the campground. The bathhouse restrooms and showers were in good, clean conditions! The campsite laundry facilities were also in good, clean working condition (only 75 cents to wash and 75 cents to dry). Firewood was available at the camp host’s site for $6 a bundle.

We had no Verizon service even with our Weboost cell booster set up (occasionally we had one bar but it wasn’t enough to do anything). We did however have excellent service through our GoogleFi service (which is Sprint, T Mobile, and US Cellular). In this case, Sprint is what had the best service. At our site, we consistently had 4 bars (without a cell booster) and worked remotely the whole week with no issues!

Our only complaint with our stay at this State Park was the ticks! The ticks were out of control in this area. We went hiking and had about 40+ ticks crawling on our clothes and our dog. We could not take our dog outside without coming in with ticks on him. We had bug fogged our campsite upon arrival and wore bug spray with deet for all of our activities. Please be careful with the ticks in this area of VA!

10/10 would recommend this campground and would stay here again! Our site, Site 10, was perfect!
