"The winding layout allowed for more distance between other sites. The woods were beautiful with easy walking trails right from the site."
"Back in sites for smaller trailers such as our teardrop were plenty big enough but still on the outskirts of the field. Bath house was very clean and very well thought out."
$25 - $140 / night

"We spent 2 weeks at SVC while our trunk was in the shop(our travel trailer got towed there- highly recommend Good Sam Roadside policy). Everyone on staff was accomodating, helpful and friendly."

"I’ve camped at a completely different part of this place before which was a site without access to bathrooms and showers."

"Close to National Forests and Shenandoah NP. Pretty lake, lovely wooded sites that are really private. Sites are fairly basic, typical State Park style. We had a canoe that made this extra fun."
"So beautiful and peaceful, sites are awesome, they have 2 stocked lakes, swimming lake, great hiking, particularly for young or new hikers. Bring your own kayak or canoe, bring your dog!"
GuideWe had a great time staying here, the site we were at was pretty private behind our camper. Bushes and trees on all sides of our fire ring and picnic table.
Clean bathrooms and wash stations.
Would recommend!
ScoutAside from the trash people had left from previous visits, it was perfect for a more primitive camping experience than a lot of modern campgrounds provided.
We picked up and threw away the people's old trash btw. Leave it better than you found it and this awesome site will continue to be fantastic.
ScoutThis campground is awesome! It takes us back to a time when camping was camping without all the crazy commercialization that has overtaken so many campgrounds today.
Quiet, peaceful, the owners are awesome! They have an honest to goodness swimming hole! If you are looking for the newest, biggest, and most attractions, then this is not the place.
But if you want a campground that is reminiscent of what camping is: You, your family, and nature, with some simple activities and enjoyment, do not hesitate to come here.
The facility is amazingly well taken care of, and it is a true family owned campground.
ScoutStayed 5-5-25 It was clean, creek for water if you have filter. Nice fire ring and wood. Did not see another person.
ScoutThis campground is underrated! Found this place by accident. Don’t let the name fool you, this place is the largest camp resort in the area. It has everything even a small grocery store.
ScoutAwesome, plenty of bathrooms; quarter showers, camp store, campground is very large! If you go during popular times of year it will be crowded at the campground so if you’re looking for a more isolated experience this might not be the best spot!
GuideWe spent two nights camping here and it was awesome. Nice size clearing, plenty of flat space, big stone fire ring (we used our little solo stove) and a great stream that runs right by the site. Plus you’re only a quarter mile from the pond which was really nice. There are pit toilets down the road that weren’t terrible. The only downside was that someone painted bright orange smiley faces on several of the trees. Not cool. But overall it was a clean, peaceful place to camp for a few nights!
GuideI tent camped for one night at the start of Easter weekend. Lots and lots of folks about, but still enough space to NOT feel encroached upon. Level grass spot for a tent, fairly level paved parking area if car camping, picnic table, fire ring with grill grate. I was on the no generator loop, but in a non electric site (vs tent walk in type). Warm bathrooms, utility sinks in several, pay hot showers, lots of greenery. I will visit again! NO Verizon cell service at all!
GuideFirst time camping in any part of Virginia, very nice and clean campground, not too much outside noise besides the random car driving on the one road near by. The Brewery itself is far enough away you don’t hear anything going on there unless there’s live music, they make some very good beer though. All around great views from our specific site of the mountains. Will be going back.
