    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Luray

    Yogi Bear for the win!!!

    I have to say this campground had plenty of staff working, the grounds were kept clean and maintained. They have 3 pools, watersides, and a splash pad, which were very busy but kept clean. They offer tons of other adventures like laser tag, arcade, mini golf movie theatre, gem mining, playgrounds, jumping pillows, ziplines, and then tons more to do in the craft center. They had plenty of appearances of Yogi or Cindy bear at activities and just driving around the park on a golf cart. The store had everything in it you would need, and the snack bar had so much to offer from wraps to ice cream. I thought the sites were a little close, and some didn't have enough trees for my personal liking, but also, you need to pick your site wisely. I liked that we had a nice concrete pad, which was above the grade in case of some rain it wouldn't flood. They offer golf carts for rental, so you can roam anywhere and have tons of cabin options. The staff were friendly and great and only stepped in when absolutely necessary. They weren't overbearing or annoying and let people have fun. The campground itself was very quiet at night, and of course, the kids lived on the playgrounds after the pool was open, but the noise was not ever excessive but just expected. The bathrooms were clean and all in working order. The app can be accessed, or you can pick up a paper schedule to see all the activities for the day. The cell service and wifi left a lot to be desired, but for me, I like to not be glued to my phone when away, especially camping. The area had fun things to go to explore, like Shenandoah National Park and the Luray Caverans, if you do like to chase some natural beauty.

    Harpers Ferry / Civil War Battlefields KOA

    Nice Amenities but poor sites

    Great location, amazing amenities(huge pool, game room, snack bar, camp store, coffee shop etc.), and friendly employees, but these are where the positives end. I've never stayed at a KOA/campground where the sites were so unlevel, close together, and the whole infrastructure in need of repair. 

    The Historic trench section is nice in the trees, but the roads are crumbling and too small for most RV's. If the person across from your site is already parked, good luck having enough room to back into your site. Our site was so unlevel that I was not able to get the RV leveled the entire weekend. Looking at the surrounding sites most campers were jacked high on blocks or sloping significantly. The section of sites were on a curve/semi-circle, which caused the site beside ours to be even smaller. We had to move our picnic table to give space for this person to back his camper on the site. They were unable to get even close to level so they didn't put out their slide. There is a new section to the campground out in the open whose sites are more level, but they are even closer together than the section we stayed in. 

    In addition to the poor sites, little enforcement was done regarding monitoring the number of people on the sites and the partying going on. A nearby site had 15+ people on Friday night partying and carrying on until 1:30AM until a fight broke out. They had a boombox on the bumper of the camper and blasted music all evening. After hours any vehicle can enter the campground as there is no gate. Cars/trucks pulled up to the party sites, who just drove in to party. I know calls were made to the office as neighboring campers stated to us. On Saturday night, the group wasn't quite as rambunctious, due to a visible presence of staff driving by, but with a campground this size, regular monitoring and shutting down of quiet hour violators should occur pre-actively. Harpers Ferry KOA could be so much more if they would invest in site upgrades and rule monitoring. We will not return.

    Big Meadows Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Great Facilities, Easy Access to Many Parts of Park

    We loved our 4-night stay in Big Meadows. I definitely recommend booking a site on the outer part of the loop, or one of the walk-in sites, if you are tent camping. A lot of the interior sites seemed very close together, but the farther out you get, the more spaced out they seemed to be, we could see a couple of other campsites from ours but generally felt we had plenty of space and privacy.

    Campsite facilities seemed pretty clean and well-maintained, and there is the campstore at the front of the campground with necessities, laundry and shower (for a fee). And if you need more the Big Meadow visitor center, and Wayside souvenir store/snack bar are just a mile or so from the campground where it meets Skyline Drive. They even have a gas station there. We went and did several hikes, including Dark Hollow Falls, and spent a late evening in the Big Meadow on a picnic blanket stargazing, all very close to the campground.

    Bear boxes are big and sturdy, fire pits are on the smallish side but fine. Honestly this place is pretty tough to beat in terms of facilities, value, and proximity to a lot of beautiful and fun national park hikes and sights.

    KOA Newbie

    This was our first KOA experience. I liked the pool, camp shop, and proximity to Massanutten water park. I also liked the size of site.

    My wife didn’t care for the lack of grass (mostly gravel) or the guy who took us to site that worked there talking over her when she was helping me back in.

    Most people know this but if a couple is backing in just let them figure it out.

    Other than price and backing in annoyance, I thought it was good place and would go back.

    Love Shenandoah

    Shenandoah is such a beautiful park.  Hiking trails leave right from the campground.  If you're lazy and don't feel like cooking there's a nice restaurant in the lodge.  There are bears so make sure you don't leave any food out.

    Used to love it....not so much any longer

    Our last trip here was interesting.  This was one of our favorite camping grounds back a few years ago.  The views are beautiful!  If you have a tent, the deluxe tent sites are AMAZING!  They have a roof over the picnic table which is helpful as it's one less thing to drag with you.  If you have a small camper as we do, well you really need to look at site guides and campers pictures as many places as you can before you proceed.  You also should be prepared to pay extra for locking the site if that is the one that you want.  This BOTHERS me!  If the site is available and I am booking it, why can another camper bump me out of the site?  Oh wait, I know!  $$$$$$ speak!  I'm all about free enterprise, however I just feel this is nickle and diming/greed to the extreme, and as a consumer, I don't appreciate it.  Knowing what I know now, there are a few sites I would never book ever again! (sites 85, 87, 94, 92, 90)  We happened to arrive during some bad storms, so that didn't make our situation better.  The site I had booked was on a slant and when we went to release our unit from the hitch, it slid….not something you want to happen to your new camper!  I told my husband to put it back on the hitch ball and in the meantime, I phoned the office to see if we could move.  I was given some site numbers that were available, however the incoming rain had us pick something rather fast that was level and on a cement pad, but unfortunately right in front of the playground.  We had no idea that when the pool closed, the kids came to the play area and they were loud!  If you are looking for a peaceful experience, do not book near any of the play areas.  You should also know we spent quite a bit more cash for this site, but it was not worth what we spent.

    There are not a whole lot of trees and sites are small.  There are some great amenities and it was an ok weekend, but for the money that you spend here, you can just as easily find a hotel and enjoy it.  I can only give it 3 stars.

    Big Meadows Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Fantastic National Park Campground

    Surprisingly, recreation.gov had excellent campsite descriptions and photos for this campground(very unusual in our experience), which made it possible for us to choose the perfect site for our 30' travel trailer. We would not have been satisfied with the slope of more than a few of the sites here, so be sure to do your due diligence before choosing your site. 

    This is a large campground with lots of sites, many of which(like C129) are quite large. The entire campground was clean and well-kept, including the bathrooms and showers. Keep in mind that showers are$5 for 10 minutes but we noticed that shower#4 worked on just$4. Shh! Don't tell anyone!;-) 

    This is boondocking(no water, sewer, or electric hookups), but there are plenty of potable water spigots and there is a dump station nearby that is convenient, in good working order, and also has potable water. One complaint about the dump would be that there is no threaded hose to flush out a black tank. 

    Generator hours are 08:00- 10:00 and 16:00- 19:00 but are extended to 21:00 from opening until April 14 and again from October 15 through closing. Quiet hours are 22:00- 06:00. 

    The campground has a good laundry facility and a small store. A short walk takes you to Big Meadows Lodge with a full-service restaurant, pub, coffee bar, and gift shop. Take in the sunset from the great room, the deck, or a short hike along the Black Rock trail. A little longer walk takes you to the Wayside where you will find a well-stocked store with food, beverages (adult and otherwise), camping supplies, a quick service restaurant, and a nice gift shop. Definitely try the blackberry cobbler at either Big Meadows Lodge or the Wayside! 

    Ticks are a big issue here(at least they were when we visited in mid-October). Be sure to check your pups constantly for ticks, and make sure you take preventive measures such as sprays and chews to make sure your pups stay safe. Check yourselves, your kiddos, and your bedding too! 

    We had mixed feelings about the staff here, many of whom were quite nice and helpful. We did feel that the person who checked us in seemed a bit haggard and, perhaps as a result, was relatively short with us when we asked reasonable questions. We also felt the campground hosts were more than a bit inconsistent in rules enforcement. For instance, they are adamant about not having even a millimeter of tire off the pavement(even when trying to keep the tow vehicle off the roadway) but didn't care at all about campers who ran their generators all day long outside of generator hours. 

    Verizon was nonexistent. 

    T-Mobile was good. 

    Starlink was great for us, but keep in mind that many sites have a canopy of trees that will obstruct Starlink. 

    Solar was so-so, partially because of the tree cover and partially because of clouds and fog.

    Cozy Night.

    Stopped at Corbin cabin on a longer backpacking trip. Great little cabin with some more luxurious camping facilities than we were used to (Stayed across the river at a more primitive spot as well). Good spot for families and we had a great time . Need to book in advance to make sure you can book it. Bears and wildlife is expected by the river.

    Big Meadows Campground — Shenandoah National Park

    Tent Camp D Loop in May

    Parking space is nice and even if car camping. Tent pad had several tree roots so a sleeping pad is recommended. Site is very shaded. Sites are quite close together so the privacy isn't great. Short 2 minute walk to showers and toilets. Shower location has laundry, ice and wood for sale. Showers are coin operated and it costs $5 for 10 minutes but the water was very hot. There are no sinks for washing dishes, rinsing, etc. Cell reception with ATT & Verizon was non existent at the campground. You could get reception at the lodge, amphitheater or on the overlooks. Out stay was the weekend of 5/26 & it was cold and windy; 43 in morning warming to 70 by 3pm. The Wayside was great. It had supplies, food, drinks, ice cream, gift shop and restaurant. We didn't cook at all. There are recycling receptacles everywhere, including for propane. Pretty sure a bear visited one night but can't say for sure. Deer would walk right through our site un-bothered by us drinking our coffee. Relatively quiet. Would definitely stay again.

    Peaceful, Quiet, Beautiful Getaway

    Great State Park with the perfect little tent camping loop. Only 12 spots. Gravel road/loop. Decently private and not on top of each other with tons of vegetation all around. Walk-in sites but not too far and they have carts you can use. Gravel pads perfectly level and very neat and clean fire pits as well as a separate grill at every sight. The bath house is super clean and they have separate private showers! Hiking, fishing, breathtaking views, tons to do in the area! Definitely recommend camping here!
    We had site #9, but 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 all looked really awesome! 12 is the smallest. 10 is the furthest from parking lot.

    Really nice campground in great setting

    We visited this campsite in mid March. The sites are a little close together, but it was quiet. There is biking and hiking directly from the campsite.  the bathrooms and showers are very clean, and there is a laundry room which we did not use.  this campground is really close to Shenandoah national park. We chose to stay here instead because there are water and electric hook ups and a dump site on premise.

    Good Things Can Come In Small Packages!

    This is a very well managed and maintained campground.  I arrived after the check-in station was closed. But in the rack was an envelope for me that contained my parking pass, a campground map, a state park map, and a flyer giving instructions for avoiding black bear incidents. There was also a placard fixed to the picnic table at my campsite with bear precautions. I did not see any bears!

    The bathrooms are very clean and well maintained. My campsite was roomy and level. The views of the river are magnificent.There are numerous hiking trails that vary in difficulty and distance.

    There is no Wi-Fi and I had no cell service with Verizon.

    Beautiful campground on the river--peaceful

    We loved our stay at a tent site on the river in June 2022. It was peaceful, and we spent a lot of our stay in the water. Will definitely be coming back! The staff was nice, service good, and bathrooms adequate.

    Great location

    Don’t know much about RV’ing as this was my very first time, so this review is very brutally honest. Upon arrival, I was met by such friendly staff. They made me feel comfortable as this was my first RVing experience. I stayed in lot 46, for the most part 95% evenly graveled. The park was very clean. The facilities were extremely clean. Bathrooms were phenomenal great hot showers , the location was within distance to Charlestown and also other convenience stores. The only negative thing that I have to say about this place was the fact that they still did not have Wi-Fi (even though I had read all the reviews that the Wi-Fi had been out for a while, the problem has yet been fixed). Other than the Wi-Fi issue this particular KOA was extremely nice.

    Great Spot!

    We stayed on one of the new spots near the woods, 107. Had plenty of room to maneuver! Two down sides are that the gravel is now quite level and our unit was completely off of tires, kind of scary with a slope. Also there is a loud pump from the hotel across the way that goes off all day and night. Otherwise, the grounds are well maintained and very clean.

    Don't come here if you want to sleep

    Partiers with foul mouths through out the campground. No enforcement of quiet hours..did not quiet down till 1am. We felt bad for anyone with children having to listen to the language and fighting.

    One of the best state parks

    Virginia has some of the best state parks, including water and electric at sites. This park has some good hiking and river access. No play ground for kids, but plenty of other outdoors.

    Also in the time of crowding, I always find a couple sites open here..

    Nice KOA

    Nice park, lots are a little close together but the tree make it private. Very clean park, well maintained. They have kids activities on the weekend but not during the week we were there. Just 17 min from the Luray Caverns. Only issue for us was the the trash disposal situation. Only pick ups are from 9 - 12. Other wise you have to walk all the way to the entrance of the campground.

    Overall fantastic stay

    Definitely crowds up on the weekends but the amenities are endless! Wish site space was larger overall… my camping chair is straddling the neighbors black tank… I’m interested in seeing how we make it outta here just because people are allowed to park wherever they want and again… the lots are super tiny… office is huge and they even offer alcohol.
