"Nice facilities (shower, bathrooms, garbage, etc.), but the campsites themselves leave a bit to be desired. Pros: deer wander the grounds, making for some beautiful morning animal encounters."
"This was a great campground location to many, many National Park Trails. Our stay was during the last week of September. We met up with family who live in the area and got 3 sites hugging the AT."

Guide#1 Rock Tavern River Kamp
I fear that yurt glamping may have ruined me against tent camping again! This was absolutely lovely. We stayed in the painted horse yurt. Cozy, comfy, lots of amenities. The only downside here is the sulfur odor the water in the bathroom has, but it is very good for your skin at least! I’d stay here again for sure.

Friendly staff, great riding right from the camper and a neat playground for the kids.

Gorgeous campground. Super clean and many amenities for kids.
Ada R.GuideGooney Creek Campground
Quite the dump and almost no one around to talk to. There is a bathroom with running water, flushing toilets, and a shower. But it is cramped and not attractive. Most of the sites are right underneath the freeway, and very noisy. Primitive sites away from the road noise are nothing more than a wide area of the dirt road.

The Cove Campground
Excellent Campground
Was looking for a last-minute getaway on a busy weekend, and they seemed the best option. I've always associated private campgrounds with crowding and sites on top of each other. I couldn't have been more wrong about The Cove. There is more wooded space between sites than in many National Parks.
Some sections are best accessed via 4WD, which I think is a great way to keep things from getting too crowded.
Such a huge diversity of types of sites, from lakeside to wooded, to open fields. They have something for everyone.
The bathrooms are ok. Other than the shower area and the reception, most toilets are pit toilets. If you want to be walking distance to showers, make sure to book sites near them. For most sites, it's going to be a hike or a drive.
And on top of that, they have a beach for the kids, boat rentals, and a range.
This was our first visit, but we will definitely be coming back.

Neighborhood campsite
First camping trip in VA and honestly the only time we’ll come here. Noisy, plots are on the main road people speed down, loud music at all times. Plus the bathroom was great, taken care of but this isn’t camping. Great if you need people around you.

Cozy and in the woods
This KOA has cozy spots among the trees and off any major road. Shower houses are squeaky clean and spots are spaced out just right! Some extra amenities: playground, camper core signage, and many other things!

TravelerLuray RV Resort on Shenandoah River
Difficult river access for seniors
Nice, clean, parking lot type campground. Great pool with lots of built in splash features for kids and a big slide. No real view from site 665 ~ just the top of some mountains. No river view at all. There is a golf cart trail to the river access with parking, but then there are big steps with no hand rail. Lucky a nice man let me hold onto him walking back up. My husband was carrying the gear and couldn’t help me. It seems everyone brought a golf cart. They had rentals, but too expensive. Again ~ great for young families.
Guide to Broadway
Broadway, Virginia sits at 1,024 feet elevation in the Shenandoah Valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains. Glamping options near Broadway include tent platforms, yurts, and safari-style accommodations with varying levels of amenities. Fall temperatures typically range from 40-70°F, making it ideal for outdoor activities while winter camping requires preparation for temperatures that can drop below freezing.
What to do
Hiking with mountain views: The area surrounding Big Meadows Campground offers numerous trails for all skill levels. "There are several campsites available at this National Park. I like this campsite particularly because its close to one of my favorite waterfall hikes in VA... Lots of beautiful hikes and bike course with awesome views of the valley," notes Tom C.
River activities: Access to the Shenandoah River provides opportunities for fishing, kayaking and tubing. At Andy Guest/Shenandoah River State Park Campground, visitors can enjoy water-based recreation. "There are several rustic campsites located on the Southfork of the Shenandoah River, as well as modern electric sites, RV sites, and cabins. Tons of trails, wildlife and activities in and near the park," writes Ricki F.
Stargazing: Clear mountain skies offer excellent night sky viewing. "We love to camp in Big Meadows - and for the star watching at night," shares Rachel M. Light pollution is minimal at many campgrounds, especially those at higher elevations.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Campers appreciate well-spaced accommodations. At Harrisonburg - Shenandoah Valley KOA, "Site 71 best for privacy," advises George H. The campground provides a tranquil setting with amenities like "pool, playground, frisbee golf & pizza delivered to your site!"
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses rank high on campers' priority lists. "Bathrooms were amazing. Very clean. Huge showers and hot water. There's also a dish sink on the back side of the shower house," mentions Melissa W. about Luray RV Resort on Shenandoah River.
Wildlife encounters: The chance to observe local animals adds to the camping experience. "We saw many deer and bear while camping. Just being in Shenandoah is a soothing experience," says Rachel M. Carol B. adds, "Elevation above 3000 feet and plenty of deer!"
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Many glamping sites close during winter. "We camped here the last night of the season (Nov30)... It was an especially cold night hitting a low of 14F. Very happy for the nearby heated restrooms with hot running water," reports Carol B.
Connectivity limitations: Cell service varies throughout the region. At Spacious Skies Shenandoah Views, Dale Y. notes, "Cell signal and camp wifi are bad. I was just able to get a decent signal with Starlink by carefully pointing at a small gap between trees."
Reservation requirements: Popular sites book quickly, especially during fall foliage season. Most glamping accommodations near Broadway require advance reservations, particularly for weekend stays between May and October.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly activities: Campgrounds with dedicated children's areas provide entertainment options. "This KOA was fantastic. The staff handled the crowd great and they had loads of activities for kids," reports one visitor about the Harrisonburg area.
Swimming options: Trout Pond Recreation Area offers natural water recreation. "There is Rockcliff lake and small beach area... The lake water was crystal clear and is surrounded by beautiful views of the mountains," shares Laure D. Fred F. adds, "Swimming is excellent with sand beach."
Educational opportunities: Ranger programs provide learning experiences. "Nice amphitheater with interesting ranger programs. Busy traffic in park but nice trails are accessible from campground," explains Kim L. These programs typically run from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose carefully based on rig size and leveling needs. "Unless you have a powerful vehicle pulling your camper, it would help to release your water supply and fill up when you get to the campground," advises Chris J. about navigating the steep roads to some campgrounds.
Hookup availability: Full-service sites are limited at some campgrounds. "We found that sites 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are FHU (not sure what amp electric though)," reports Laure D., providing specific site information that can be valuable when booking.
Seasonal access: Some roads become challenging in winter conditions. Many glamping close to Broadway, Virginia operate seasonally, with limited or no access during winter months when mountain roads can be impassable for larger rigs.
