Primitive Camping
Small family-run campground. No frills, very country. Location is good if you’re putting in on the river. Pam helped us out and was very kind. There’s a swingset and basketball hoop for the kids, a small camp store, and a bathhouse with hot showers. The creekside sites are primitive and have fire rings and picnic tables. There are also electric/water sites. Swim and fish in the creek. Pet-friendly.
The campground sits on Gooney Creek which flows into the Shenandoah River. You’re not far from the public boat launch if you need to put in (it’s walkable). We couldn’t get a parking spot at the boat launch because it was packed (plus there was limited parking due to rain, so it was very muddy). We put in on the river upstream/south of the campground and after our float we hopped out at the launch and walked to get our car to come pick up the boats.
