Shenandoah River State Park

We loved staying here. The park was beautiful. Extremely well kept.
The bathrooms were clean, showers each had their own room with locking door. Fab laundry facility - $.75 commercial washer and dryer.

Tons of great hiking trails. Quiet campground.
Loads of butterflies, birds and deer.

PERFECTLY LEVEL SITE! :)

Fantastic signal with AT&T - probably the fastest speed our hotspot has put out of anywhere we have stayed!

This campground is beautiful and clean. The sites are pretty spacious and well maintained. The pads are gravel, and all of the campsites contain a picnic table and a fire ring. Our site was very leveled and we really had no complaints!

The location of this campground was pretty ideal for us because of its closeness to Shenandoah National Park- only about a 15 minute drive! The campground was quiet at night which made it peaceful and relaxing. We also saw some wildlife- rabbits & deer!

Only downside which wasn't too major but absolutely no cell service for Verizon.

We would definitely stay here again!

Came here in Feb and there were only a couple of RVs around. It's a great park with many hiking trails (see photo). It's quite and very secluded and like others, we did not get any cell reception (even with our WeBoost).
We stopped at the Visitor center on one hike and discovered that they have WiFi if you really need to check your e-mail ;)
There are several cute cabins there which are interspersed with the RV sites.

This is about our fourth time at this campground, which is open year round We have camped here in late March, early October and now in early December. We always enjoy our stay here. There are lovely walking paths along the river and great views of the Massanutten Mountains to the West. A lovely visitors center has information about the area.

The access is a paved road. My only concern would be in the winter if there was snow on the road. You go up a hill and then down a hill to get to the campground. My concern in summer would be the lack of shade, since the trees are not very tall.

There are two campsites, one for trailers and another for tents along the river. The trailer sites are paved, have a gravel area with picnic area, fire pit, and a lantern holder. Each trailer site has electric and water. Some of the sites are pull through. There is a nearby dump station. There is also a group camping site, small cabins in the campground and large campgrounds in another area that are for rent.

The bathroom is between the two trailer loops. We have found them clean and warm. There are four shower rooms and a clean laundry room.

I would give this a five star rating, but the sewer plant is at the end of the second loop and is noisy. I recommend, if the noise is an issue for you, try to camp in the first loop that you enter.

This area is ATT country for cell, so if you have Verizon, you are out of luck in the campground as well as along Route 340, except near larger towns. At the visitors center they allow you to use their wifi, even after hours.

Front Royal, about 10 miles away has restaurants, gas and grocery stores. Bentonville, which is nearby, just has a gas station with a few supplies. Access to Shenandoah National Park is nearby, outfitters will set up up with kayaks or canoes to paddle on the river and there several private caverns that are open for tour.

We've camped here before - back in the middle of a heat wave in July. This time was very different and we were glad to have electric hookups to run our little ceramic heater. Due to the time of year, we had the campground mostly to ourselves. What we like about this place is it is near Skyline Drive which we love and off which we can hike on many trails. This campground also has lots of easy hiking trails around it. There's a real nice one right along the river. The bathrooms are clean, we didn't try the showers but they looked okay. There is just one bathhouse in the middle of the campground so that is not great. There is no Verizon service whatsoever. There is a really nice visitor center nearby. On this trip, we needed to ask the host about our site because we had not had one assigned and he told us to take whatever one we wanted. Note: this was not the friendliest host we've ever met; seemed a bit of a grouch to be honest. But all-in-all we recommend this camp to everyone. Oh and there's plenty of river access to boot!
