SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
The Shenandoah Valley surrounding Broadway, Virginia features diverse camping options ranging from established campgrounds to private farm accommodations. Prominent locations include Harrisonburg-Shenandoah Valley KOA in Broadway and Endless Caverns RV Resort in nearby New Market. Campgrounds in this region accommodate various styles from tent camping to RV sites with full hookups, cabin rentals, and glamping opportunities. Hawk Nest Mushroom Farm offers a unique small-scale camping experience on private land, while more extensive facilities are available at established campgrounds throughout the valley.
Road conditions and site access vary significantly across the region's campgrounds. Most established sites provide gravel roads leading to camping areas, though some locations feature steep terrain that may challenge larger vehicles. The camping season generally runs from spring through fall, with several campgrounds operating year-round despite the region's seasonal temperature changes. Many facilities require reservations, particularly during peak summer and fall foliage seasons. Tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins typically offer different availability windows based on weather patterns. As one visitor noted of Endless Caverns, "Roads to your sites were extremely steep. We got there the day it rained all morning. Roads were washed out."
Campers consistently mention the natural beauty of the area as a primary attraction. The mixed-use campgrounds provide access to hiking trails, cave tours, and scenic mountain views throughout the Shenandoah region. Sites near water features receive particularly positive feedback, with one camper describing Bennie's Beach as "a giant spot right on the river. The grounds are well maintained and stunning. Water is crystal clear." Campground amenities vary widely, with some properties offering swimming pools, playgrounds, and organized activities, while others maintain a more rustic, quiet atmosphere. Visitors frequently comment on the peaceful settings and dark night skies at campgrounds situated away from urban centers. Proximity to Shenandoah National Park and various cavern systems makes the Broadway area a strategic base for exploring the valley's natural attractions.

Beautiful spot. The campsite is across the street from the lodge. G-Maps and Apple will take you to the lodge however. Loved the Freeform and “make your own” spot vibe

Do not camp here!
I camped here on the 4th of July weekend in 2026. The lot was over $70 and the lot was a gravel lot in full sun, and our air conditioner could not keep up with the heat, because of the conplete lack of shade. These are the only lots available to campers. The water was toxic and brown out of the tap, and our water tank happened to be empty. We complained to the office, and they refused to help us by obtai i g some bottled water that was potable, and the manager basically said screw you. They didn’t care and claimed the water passed a water test. I run a campground myself and am very familiar with these issues, and guarantee this would not pass a potability test. I am reporting them to the local health dept and to the state liscensing department. If they think they can just blow me off, they are picking a battle with the wrong guy. O well, their mistake!!

Totally ruined our holiday
Honestly I would not go here. Its a beautiful spot great for fishing and swimming. I wish it was doable. But no. We been here for 4 days for the holiday. We wanted something affordable and full of nature. We really thought this place would be like other campsites. But other than taking out trash (which most people just burn making it stinky the entire time and every single fire pit you probably shouldnt cook on) there are no rules no regulations. People can be in your site looking into your tent and they do not care here. People just go where they want and fish around kids swimming rather than going somewhere else. Music can be blared so loud theres nowhere to go without hearing it. Dogs do not have to he on leash despite the sign at the entrance. (Told essentially to get over it) the dogs will roam everywhere. Its completely taken over by "locals" who aren't actually locals at all. They are just people from other states that stay here all the time and take over during the holidays. If youre already established at this camp you are good to go. But if you are highly respectful people who respect nature and want the peace of real camping. Do not go here. We are packing and leaving 5 days early and will not be back.
MG S.GuideShenandoah National Park Dispersed Sites — Shenandoah National Park
Difficult to Find a Spot!
As we got through Shenandoah Nat’l Park, we learned that all the campgrounds were full. So we ended up getting a backcountry camping permit in the southern district between Ivy Creek and Loft Mountain along the Appalachian Trail. It was so difficult to find a good spot in this specific area. If you have a 1-2 person tent, it may be easier. We ended up “hiking” about a quarter mile from the Loft Mountain Camp Store on the Frazier Trail to the A.T. Set up right there at the corner on the flattest spot we could find. Ended up being a great night! It gets super windy up there and some of the trees creak deeply. Thankfully no downed trees!

Mathews Arm Campground — Shenandoah National Park
Great Camp!
This is a good campground! The spot we picked thankfully only had one neighbor — and they didn’t even show up! Of course the kids around us were noisy throughout the night, but that’s to be expected. Not sure the quiet times are strictly enforced. The wind gets really heavy in there!

Waynesboro North 340 Campground
Quiet, clean, friendly.
We just stayed several nights at this campground and really enjoyed it. It was quiet, the bathrooms and showers were always exceptionally clean, and the pool was very nice. Some parts of the campground have a lot of trees and we enjoyed the shade. The staff was very kind and helpful, and kept a neat little camp store well stocked with a variety of essentials. It was easy to get into Shenandoah National Park via Skyline Drive, which we also enjoyed. It is not too far from Polyface Farms (a conference there was the purpose of our visit). We look forward to staying here again!

Great State Park Campground! Would be a 5 if there was sewer.
We absolutely loved our stay at this state park. The sites are spacious with plenty of room for your RV (no matter what the size) and plenty of room for a screen room on your patio. Unlike in many private campgrounds, campsites are well-spaced out giving you some privacy so you don’t feel like you are on top of your neighbor. A scattering of trees provides some shade and privacy. The road in and out of the campground was steep but since it was paved we didn’t have a traction issue.
We stayed in site 10 which was a gravel back-in site. It was plenty long enough for our 45’ RV and tow car. Each campsite has an expansive patio with large firepit, picnic table, and raised grill for cooking. Our patio was on the side next to the road which was a little close to traffic but we still loved siting there, especially in the evening with a campfire. A few sites were paved and some were double sites which would be great if you are traveling with friends.
The park itself has numerous gravel/dirt trails along the river and throughout the park. The longest one travels all along the Shenandoah River, and you can access it directly from the RV campground. One day we walked the trail to the visitor center which has an amazing overlook near the visitor center. Inside are exhibits which were interesting and informative about the area. If you are looking for more and diverse trails, you are just minutes away from Shenandoah National Park. Don’t miss out on the famous Skyline Drive in Shenandoah.
The town of Front Royal is about 15 minutes away and where you will get cell/mobile data service and there are restaurants and supplies. We love the burgers at Spelunkers and wished we had more time to visit the Virginia Beer Museum. Chester Gap Cellars has great wine and incredible views. The only downsides of this park are that there is no sewer and no Verizon service. Even without those amenities, we loved our stay and would definitely come back.
Guide to Broadway
Camping near Broadway, Virginia offers sites situated at elevations between 800-3,000 feet throughout the Shenandoah Valley region. Temperatures typically range from 30°F in winter to 85°F in summer with rainfall concentrated in spring and early summer months. Most campgrounds in the area remain open April through October, though several provide year-round accommodations for campers seeking off-season solitude.
What to do
Hiking trails from campgrounds: Several sites provide direct trail access without driving. At Harrisonburg - Shenandoah Valley KOA, "Walking trail starts at the campground," according to Sara R., while another camper notes it "Backs up to a great hike. Close to Harrisonburg with all the great breweries!"
Cave explorations: The Endless Caverns RV Resort & Cottages offers on-site cave tours with discounts for campers. As Clark P. describes, "Their cavern tour was lovely. Marked well, lighted, relaxed. Our tour guide, Haley, was a sweetheart, taking time for the two little kids, and still giving the information older people like."
Night sky viewing: Many campgrounds provide excellent stargazing opportunities due to limited light pollution. At Wolf Gap, campers report exceptional night viewing: "It was quiet at night in my little corner of camp and I could walk out a bit from my site and see the entire night sky which was amazing!"
What campers like
Natural water features: Several campgrounds offer sites along streams or small rivers. At Creekside Campground, campers praise the waterfront locations: "We had a large grass space with water and power on the edge of a beautiful creek and enjoyed the sounds of it both nights. There were a variety of birds who frequented the stream and were fun to watch."
Wildlife encounters: Many campers mention wildlife sightings as a highlight. At Big Meadows Campground, "You will definitely see deer in the campground as they walk through and browse the understory. They are unafraid of humans unless directly approached," writes Veronica S., while another reviewer noted, "We saw many deer and bear while camping."
Mountain views: Several campsites provide panoramic valley views. At Spacious Skies Shenandoah Views, Matt S. describes "The best view from a campsite we've ever experienced" with "Sunset over the mountains from our campsite each evening."
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds have limited facilities during off-season. Carol B. from Big Meadows notes: "We camped here the last night of the season (Nov30)... Showers and laundry were closed for the season... It was an especially cold night hitting a low of 14F."
Site selection matters: Campground terrain varies significantly between loops. At Endless Caverns, Sara M. advises, "Be very particular with your site selection! Sites in section E appear tighter with less shelter. The higher sites might require your TV have 4WD."
Bug activity: Insects can be prevalent in certain seasons. One camper at Loft Mountain Campground reports: "Unfortunately our campsite was bumblebee invested. It was cool to watch them, but they got into everything," while another mentions, "The bugs when we got here were kinda crazy. They don't bite but they swarm your head."
Bathroom facilities: Availability and quality vary by campground and season. Some have flush toilets and showers, while others offer vault toilets only. At Loft Mountain, "The shower was about 0.3 miles away. They charge $5 for 10 min, which you have to pay in quarters."
Tips for camping with families
Campground activities: Some sites offer structured activities for children. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, families appreciate the amenities: "The kids loved running off in the open field and playing on the zip line. We loved that we could see them from our site. The birthday boy also loved the outdoor laser tag!"
Wildlife education: Many campgrounds offer ranger programs focusing on local wildlife. At Big Meadows, Kim L. mentions the "Nice amphitheater with interesting ranger programs," while Loft Mountain has "very cool programs" at the visitor center.
Fire safety: Fire restrictions vary by campground and season. Hawk Nest Mushroom Farm has specific fire concerns: "The tall grass is too close in the more private fire circle for fire safety," according to Cindy W., while most established campgrounds provide metal fire rings or stone-lined pits.
Food storage: Bear activity requires proper food storage at many sites. Big Meadows provides "bear box for food storage" while another camper noted at Loft Mountain to "check if you need a food locker" as "not all have a bear food locker."
Tips from RVers
Road gradients: Access roads to many campgrounds include steep sections. Michael H. at Creekside Campground advises, "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."
Site leveling: Many sites require adjustment for proper leveling. At Jellystone, one RVer noted: "Our only real drawback was our site was not even close to level. It probably shouldn't have been available for a 40'+ RV."
Hookup locations: Utility placement varies by campground. At Spacious Skies Shenandoah Views, Matt S. appreciates that "Hookups were well positioned" while Dale Y. at Harrisonburg KOA similarly notes, "The power pole is well positioned."
Connectivity challenges: Cell service and WiFi can be limited. Dale Y. reports, "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."
