Best RV Parks & Resorts near Cross Junction, VA

Several RV parks surround Cross Junction, Virginia, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. The Cove Campground in nearby Gore provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service, gravel pads, and big-rig friendly access. Just 30 miles south, Fort Valley Ranch features 45 sites with electric hookups including both 30-amp and 50-amp options, plus water and sewer connections on level sites. KOA Luray RV Resort, though farther away, offers premium pull-through sites with full hookups and concrete pads for larger rigs. Harpers Ferry Campground operates seasonally from April through October with water, electric, and sewer hookups on mostly gravel sites. "Our site was big enough for our motor home and Jeep. Full hook-ups with 50-amp service," noted one visitor about a nearby park, highlighting the spacious accommodations available in the region.

Navigation to some RV campgrounds requires careful planning, particularly for larger motorhomes. The drive to certain parks involves steep grades exceeding 7%, with one reviewer cautioning about "25-miles through the roller coaster of steep grade hills" when approaching mountain locations. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with AT&T generally providing better coverage than Verizon in most parks. Dump stations are available at most locations, though not all offer on-site sewer hookups. Pet-friendly policies are common, though some parks charge additional fees. Propane fill service can be found at select locations like Lazy A Campground, which also offers RV storage options. Fall foliage season fills parks quickly, making advance reservations essential, especially for premium full hookup sites with 50-amp service that accommodate larger motorhomes.

    Spacious Skies Shenandoah Views

    Camping Gem With a Great View

    We had a great stay at Spacious Skies Shenandoah Views in Luray, VA. 

    We stayed in a level back-in site(#39) with picnic table on a concrete patio, Adirondack chairs under a pergola on a second concrete patio, clean gravel surface, and fire pit. The site was big enough for our motor home and Jeep. Full hook-ups with 50-amp service. 

    Wow, what a view! Sunset over the mountains from our campsite each evening. Who could ask for more? 

    The campground is close to Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive as well as Luray Caverns and a few smaller tourist attractions including the Luray Zoo and Bear Mountain Zip-lines. 

    They have a clean pool and playground for little kids. The nearby dairy cow farm is fun too. 

    You can tell the new owners are making some upgrades including improving the utilities and adding wi-fi. 

    The drive in requires about 25-miles through the roller coaster of steep grade(7+%) hills. There’s no way around that, you’re in the mountains. Just be aware and be prepared. 

    THINGS I ESPECIALLY LIKED: 

    1. The best view from a campsite we’ve ever experienced 

    2. Less than 20-minutes from Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns 

    3. Clean campground

    New Germany State Park Campground

    Gorgeous park; truly "unplugged" experience

    Site was very large and private, surrounded by beautiful forest. Plenty of room for our pup, TV, pop-up gazebo, and gear. Each site had a fire ring with grill grate, and a nice, large, composite picnic table. We were right in front of the bath house, which was convenient, but the light was pretty bright at night. We were also the closest site to the loop entrance, so we could hear some traffic along the main park road. Didn’t bother us too much, but I imagine it would have been pretty noisy if we’d been there during peak summer season. Camping loop overall was nice and quiet, though; we had two neighbors while we were there, and barely saw nor heard anything from either of them.

    Simply put, this park is absolutely gorgeous. Easily the most beautiful MD State Park we’ve visited. Everything, from the forest, to trails, to lake, to Meadow Mountain, is a camper/outdoor enthusiast’s dream. The fall foliage made everything even more beautiful. Apparently, the park is very popular amongst cross-country skiers in the winter, especially since they have full-service cabins and a warming hut by the lake. I’m not into cold weather at all, but I imagine I would love to spend a day by the lake in the summer time. Said lake area also has a concession stand, boat rentals, swimming beach, rec hall, and nature center, but these were all closed since we were there out of season.

    Bath house in our loop was old and small, but kept very clean. I never used the shower, as it was too cold, but it looked adequate. LOTS of spiders, which don’t really bother me, but definitely a nightmare for arachnophobes.

    We drove through the two other, non-pet-friendly loops, which were also beautiful. Sites were spacious and private, just like in our loop, but with the addition of tall pines. Saw mostly tent campers, and a few small TTs. The roads were very narrow, with a decent incline, so not big-rig friendly.

    Note that there is very little to no cell phone reception in the park, so combined with the lack of hookups, this is definitely an unplugged, “connect with nature” type of camping experience.

    Overall, I absolutely loved this park, and can definitely see why it’s referred to as Maryland’s “hidden gem.” The only negative was the lack of hookups, as it got pretty cold at night, and our battery was unable to sustain the needs of our heater. It would have been fine if it had been just me and my husband, but I think it was just too cold for our small kids, especially with the wind and rain we encountered. I would love to return in the summer though, especially since the area doesn’t experience the same type of extreme humidity as the more central and eastern parts of Maryland. Highly recommended!

    Harpers Ferry / Civil War Battlefields KOA

    More "glamping" than camping, but great for families!

    This campground is huge, and very crowded. We were there in the days leading up to 4th of July, and there was not a single empty site. Our section had mostly pop-ups and mid-size travel trailers, so the sites were all grass and gravel. However, the area with pull-through sites for big rigs was just a huge RV parking lot. All roads were very narrow and winding. We did fine with the pup, but can’t imagine trying to navigate a large motorhome through there. Crowding/space issues aside, this is a really nice (albeit expensive) campground. Almost everything, from the grounds, to rec halls, to pool and laundry, was sparkling clean and beautifully maintained. Bathrooms were reasonably clean as well, although they could certainly use some TLC and updating (most MD state park bathhouses are nicer).Staff was very friendly, as well. Tons of stuff to do here, especially for families: arts & crafts, indoor movie theatre, games, civil war reenactments, wine tastings, etc. We were certainly never bored, and the kids thought they had died and gone to heaven. Our site was extremely close to our neighbor's site, but still surprisingly roomy and decently shaded. We were right next to the pancake hut (free daily pancake breakfast included during the on-season) and playground, and very close to other activities. Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is just a stone's throw away, with great hiking, sight-seeing, and cute little shops.

    Overall, this is a really nice place, but much more of a resort than a campground in my opinion. The kids loved it, but I’ll always prefer the wooded seclusion of a state or national park. However, if I was looking for a more action-packed, activities-filled “glamping” experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

    Andy Guest/Shenandoah River State Park Campground

    Too bad I had to leave

    Loved it! I’d love to spend a week here some time. There is no bad site in this campground. Immaculate upkeep. Lots of walking and hiking trails. Verizon has no signal at all, but AT&T was fine. Clean bathrooms, large showers, dump station. Water and electric on site but no sewer connection. Large campsites with picnic table and fire ring.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Williamsport MD

    KID FRIENDLY

    This is a huge campground geared around kids. We didn't bring any with us this time and were just staying here overnight. We are in pull through site 753, pretty level gravel site, full hookups, picnic table and fire ring. The site wasn't well cleaned, grease dumped in the gravel, dead grass, lots of stink bugs! Also had to finagle the cable line to get it to work. There are very clean showers and restrooms, large camp store, restaurant, mining for kids, Waterpark, and pool. Many cabins, pull through, back in, and tent sites.

    Lazy A Campground

    Down home country

    I loved this campground. It is not a large campground in number of sites but has huge open fields for lots of outdoor fun. It has tent sites and level rv sites with 30 amp and water. No sewer. And one 50 amp site. Most sites have partial shade from the tree line. Each site has a fire ring and plastic picnic table. It has a creek for swimming or wading at your own risk. It also has horseshoes, playground, large outdoor picnic area, as well as a clean bathhouse with showers. There is a dump station and trash dumpster for your convenience on the way out of the campground.

    Skyline Ranch Resort

    Would NOT Stay here Again

    Ugh, this was one of the worst campgrounds we have stayed at in our twelve years of full-time RVing. First of all, the sites are very close together. Our site (which was#20 on the map but the number at our electric post was#102, go figure!) was supposed to be a pull-thru but we had to unhook the car because the site was so short and hard to get into due to narrow roads and tight turns with trees. The park is definitely not big-rig friendly, and all the sites are very close. There are many seasonals with old, dilapidated campers with lots junk around them. 

    We assume they call themselves a “resort” because there is a swimming pool, mini-golf, pavilion, playground, rental cabins, ball fields, dog park and a fishing pond, but it didn’t live up to the standards we consider for a resort. The mini-golf was in horrible condition. Everything was old and run-down. The “chalets” where super outdated, there was trash everywhere in the campground. Lots of seasonal sites with junk everywhere at their site. Behind us was a family who left their mean-looking barking dog chained to the tree all the time. The bathrooms are super outdated, and we wouldn’t even go in. Luckily, we had a full hook-up site. The nicest looking area of the park is the 8,000 square-ft Clubhouse which has a café, game room, adult lounge, wide screen tv, fitness center, and jacuzzi. We were there early in the season so some amenities were closed. There are farm animals on the property and a petting zoo with pigs, horses, ponies, goats, ducks, etc. They have a busy summer schedule of events which I’m sure entertains the kids and adults, but we weren’t staying long enough to participate. 

    Inside the brochure you get when you check-in are two-pages of guidelines and rules (which I doubt anyone reads). One of rules (#8) states that you have to clean up your area prior to departure, but since the seasonals weren’t departing I guess all the trash around their site was acceptable. That rule also states that fire pits have to be clean to fire pits but there were many fire pits full of trash.  

    I was a little nervous plugging into our electrical post which was completely wobbly and barely attached to anything and literally held together with packing tape– visions of an unpleasant electrocution experience flashed in my head. There is no cable but we were able to get seven over-the-air antenna channels (only one major network– ABC). All the utilities were at the back of our site and it took me a few minutes to find the sewer outlet which was near our neighbors designated parking spot. I suppose the only good thing was that Skyline Ranch Resort is a Passport America park and we only paid $35+tax/night for a 50-amp FHU site (which would have been the ridiculous high price of $70 otherwise). The only reason the campground gets two stars is because it was cheap for FHU. We would NOT stay here again.

    Luray RV Resort on Shenandoah River

    Spacious and clean campground

    We recently stayed for a long weekend at the Outlanders campground after we received a referral from a friend and could not have been more happy with our stay.  The RV sites at this campground are very spaced out, you have a lot of room to each side of your RV.  The park and facilities were very clean.  They have a playground for the kids, fishing ponds, cabins, pet friendly with a dog park and they are located right along the Shenandoah river.  You can go tubing on the river but need to provide your own tubes.  The ride down the river from one end of the park to the other is around 30 minutes.  Also for all of the people attached to the internet like us we were able to have plenty of cell signal to hotspot and get internet.

    CUMBERLAND MD. CAMPGROUNDS. 1 & 2

    On the Potomac and C & O Canal Trail

    Canal Tunnel River Campground, Nov 2023 : This is a 1 3/4 mile walk along the C &O Canal Trail to the outskirts of Cumberland. We happened upon this empty campground while walking this trail. A fantastic museum is near that 1 3/4 mile point. The National Park Visitor Center is there as well which is very informative.
    (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer). I rate based on desire for at least a moderate wilderness type experience w at least some camp site privacy. Usage during visit: Empty Site Privacy: No vegetation screen between sites. Site Spacing: Close, but more spacing than many private campgrounds. Site surface: Grass Reservations: I noticed Agee box at the entrance. Road Noise: This campground is not near a highway. Through Traffic in campground: No reason for through traffic.
    Electric Hookup: I concluded the only sites with electricity are host sites. Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: No Potable Water Available: Yes Bathroom: I did not see any, but probably removed for the season.
    Showers: No. Pull Throughs: Some Cell Service (AT&T): Good Setting: Open grassy area with minimal shade along the Potomac River Weather: Sunny . Highs 60s and lows 30s during our stay in the area.
    Bugs: Too cold. Solar: Great solar. Rig size: Seems that there would’ve no issue for larger rigs. Sites: Sites along the river are best in my opinion.


Guide to Cross Junction

The western Virginia region surrounding Cross Junction sits at elevations ranging from 600-1,200 feet above sea level, characterized by rolling hills and valley terrain. The area experiences distinct seasons with fall camping popular from mid-September through late October when temperatures average 50-70°F. Most campgrounds in this region operate seasonally, closing in late October or early November when overnight temperatures regularly drop below freezing.

What to do

River activities: 1.5 miles from campsite. Brunswick Family Campground offers excellent Potomac River access with multiple water recreation options. "Gorgeous spot on the river... Lots of activities - tubing, zip lining, fishing," notes Darcy S. The campground provides boat loading facilities and fishing docks, making water activities easily accessible.

Explore historic areas: 6 miles by trail. The C&O Canal towpath runs directly through Brunswick Family Campground, creating excellent hiking and biking opportunities. "Harpers Ferry is only 6 miles away on the trail," explains Susan K., noting you can "walk or bike for miles in either direction for hours" along the historic canal path.

ATV adventures: Miles of trails available. The Cove Campground features extensive off-road trails specifically designed for ATVs, dirt bikes, and jeeps. Jacob I. describes it as having "miles of off-road trails for atvs, jeeps, and dirtbikes" making it an excellent choice for motorsport enthusiasts camping near Cross Junction.

What campers like

Riverside settings: Direct water access. Campers consistently praise the waterfront sites along the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. Robin W. from Harpers Ferry Campground highlights that "it is right on the river so you can go swimming right from your campsite!" Many campsites offer similar water proximity, allowing for fishing, wading, or simply enjoying river views.

Family-friendly amenities: Playgrounds and open space. At Lazy A Campground, Casey L. appreciates the "wide open space to run and play," noting it's "fantastic for kids and pets." The campground features sports areas including horseshoes and basketball courts, plus a playground for younger children.

Shaded RV sites: Natural cooling. Many RV sites near Cross Junction, Virginia feature tree coverage for natural temperature regulation. Erica M. describes Lazy A Campground's layout, noting "Most sites have partial shade from the tree line. Each site has a fire ring and plastic picnic table." This natural shade is particularly valuable during summer months when temperatures frequently exceed 85°F.

What you should know

Train noise considerations: Regular train traffic. Several campgrounds near Harpers Ferry experience train noise throughout day and night. Sherri C. notes "Brunswick train station and depot is just a few hundred feet away and you can hear trains at all times of the night." Similarly, at Harpers Ferry Campground, Maggie A. advises "bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper" due to the railroad tracks directly behind the campground.

Limited services at some locations. While many RV parks offer full hookups, smaller campgrounds may have minimal amenities. Nancy L. found at The Cove Campground that "the toilets are really far. The showers are even farther-like a 15-20 minute walk with bad signage directing to." Verify available services when booking, particularly if shower facilities are important.

Variable cell service. Coverage remains inconsistent throughout the Cross Junction region. At KOA Luray RV Resort, Jennifer K. observed "The wifi was terrible and unusable, even with our antenna. AT&T worked well and Verizon was a bit spotty," confirming the need for backup communication plans.

Tips for camping with families

Easy water recreation: Suitable for all ages. Brunswick Family Campground provides ideal family water access with gentle entry points. Brian S. describes the Shenandoah River as "beautifully clean clear and cool" with convenient access just "100 yards from here campsite." The clean, accessible water makes it ideal for families with young children.

All-in-one outdoor experiences: Multiple activities in one location. Fort Valley Ranch offers diverse family activities without leaving the campground. Jason G. explains "The kids were able to fish for hours at the two fishing ponds, which both were stocked with bass and bluegill. Also, the availability of horseback trail riding was an added bonus." Having multiple activities in one location reduces driving time between destinations.

Budget-friendly options: Under $30/night. Some campgrounds offer surprisingly affordable rates for families. Mikala S. noted at Harpers Ferry Campground, "We got a discount for staying 2 nights so it was only $29 a night," making it economical for multi-night family stays.

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Bring extra blocks. Some RV sites near Cross Junction, Virginia require significant leveling equipment. Jennifer K. warns about site P1 at Little Orleans Campground: "It's really unlevel. We ran out of blocks trying to level on this site and were still off a bit. If we were staying more than a night we may have asked for a different site."

Access road conditions: Plan route carefully. Several campgrounds have challenging access roads requiring careful navigation. Christopher K. advises about The Cove Campground: "The road is gravel and could use some work, I'd recommend 4x4 drive." This caution applies particularly to larger motorhomes and fifth wheels approaching more remote camping areas.

Seasonal campground closures: Check operating dates. Many RV parks around Cross Junction operate seasonally, typically closing by November 1st. Brunswick Family Campground explicitly lists its season as "Mar 25 - Nov 1," while Harpers Ferry Campground operates "April 1 to October 31," limiting late fall and winter camping options for RVers in the region.
