Bang for your buck

This place is great. I've been coming here for years. Hands down the best place to camp (and tube) in Shenandoah. The camp ground isn't big, which I like, and I don't have to drive to a secondary location to go tubing. The staff is wonderful and make you feel like family. The campground is a short walk through the woods to the river if the need to cool off in the hot summer months arises. I highly recommend buying wood from the camp store, cheapest around and a great size bundle. A short drive to Luray Caverns, Luray Zoo, Skyline Drive and shops.

Kayakers welcomed

One of my favorite parts of Virginia. This place is great because they have a bus to bring you back up river after a day of kayaking. Clean facilities and a nice little store. Not recommended if you are looking for solitude.

Clean and well maintained but smaller than expected

I really liked this campground. Everything was clean and very well maintained, and the sites were actually pretty large. But the campground itself was smaller than it looks on the map.

Bathrooms were clean and never had an issue with having to wait for one.
