ScoutGreat !! Quite little place to rest your head. Staff is amazing and campgrounds are clean excellent place. I will definitely be back many many many times they are local to me and just down to earth people.🤙
TravelerVery disappointed in our recent four-night stay at Misty Mountain Campground this October.
Prior to our arrival, both my husband and I made numerous attempts to verify our site and reservation details. My husband called for five consecutive days and left messages each time, and I sent an email; however, we received no response.
When we arrived, the check-in process was extremely frustrating. I was initially told we had no reservation. After explaining that I was part of a wedding group, had already paid, and had been assigned a site number, the registration staff member continued to insist the reservation could not be found. After being ignored for 10 minutes and having to explain the situation again, she located our booking, but assigned us to the wrong site.
Additionally, the site and facilities fell far below expectations for an "RV Resort":
Overall, the lack of communication, poor customer service, and substandard conditions made for a very negative experience. I hope they deal with their issues because it is a lovely area.
TravelerSomething for everybody; long term slots, primitive camping, with electricity and water, with full hookups, day use ramps for Lake Anna, huge covered picnic area for large gatherings, rv sites in the woods and others on the edge of large field. Staff are great.
RangerNo other available sites, so used tent site 35 parking spot to stay in campervan. Worked fine. Nice campground. Saw at least 10 deer along sides of road from entrance to campsite.
ScoutFirst 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.
GuideStopped here on my trip from Cherokee NC to Front Royal VA on the Blue ridge parkway and skyline drive. As in most NPS campgrounds, there are no hookups but the campground was nice and the weather was great. No AC needed.
ScoutThe wifi test was done with my starlink not the campground wifi bc it doesn't exist.
To begin with I came physically up here from SC to check availability for long term stay. I was told there was a list and I would be put on that list and if a spot became available I would be notified (8-3-26). I was called (8-23-26) with availability and request for payment I paid then on the phone. My card the next following 3 days was ran for an additional total of 2400.00 every single morning an 800.00 charge I luckily had my card locked bc if not I would have been screwed. I was not given a reason why my card was ran so many times and not even an apology. I checked in on September 1st and was put in a site completely covered with tree limbs which is a problem as the only requirement I had was a clear view of the sky for my starlink to work for my remote work. For 2 whole weeks I went back and forth with the new GM Peggy. For 2 whole weeks I could NOT work the campground wifi is non existent. I was given the run around and a disrespectful attitude saying it wasnt there fault when it was known to begin with this was an absolute NEED not a want. Fast forward to today (9-12-26) I had issues with my power pole showing a short to ground and I was told its bc the poles are grounded to themselves but finally moved. The only catch was if I was to move I HAD TO LEAVE on october 1st per PEGGY the nee GM. So because of a miscommunication between staff of mine and my families needs bc my kids homeschooling I am forced to scramble to find another campground in two weeks when we live in our camper and work OTR. Its been nothing but problems here. The water taps are full of rust the GM judges you based off how you apear and treats you like dirt under the door mat. I was hoping this would be a good fit for me and my family but it has been nothing but the worst camping experience I have had in the past 5 years. The staff themselfs are great they tried to remedy the issue day one but PEGGY wouldnt allow it. I highly recommend going somewhere else and spending your hard earned money bc this place does not respect you as a customer or tenant. I talked with many campers who have been coming here for years since the 90s and they even say and feel the same the campground has declined since a management company purchased it. Also the long term rentals will be al.ost non existent unless you've bene coming here for 4 years or more. Cable is also non existent here. Its been a very VERY bad regretful experience. The lies from management and corporate baseline excuses are disgusting. Will NEVER camp here again. Take this as your honest warning from a normal person and a combat veteran. It dont take much to please me but this place has fell well below the bar. The site is was moved to before I get kicked out because they couldnt properly meet the needs of my stay allowed my starlink to work so I will be able to work 2 weeks before I am essentially nomadic again. If your tent camping bring water boots bc the tent sites seem to hold water. ALSO DONT LEAVE HONEST REVIEWS THAT SHED LIGHT ON THE NEGATIVES AND DOWNFALLS OF THIS PLACE OR THEY WILL TELL YOU YOU HAVE TO LEAVE.
ScoutGood facilities for a NP campground
RangerThis campground is awesome! It's quiet, cool (temperature), great camp neighbors. The general store has ice, firewood, showers and any other necessities you may need.
Camping near Mineral, Virginia centers around Lake Anna, a 13,000-acre reservoir with 200 miles of shoreline at 250 feet elevation. Summer temperatures regularly reach the mid-90s with high humidity from June through August. Winter campers should prepare for temperatures that can drop below freezing December through February, with occasional snowfall making some forest service roads temporarily impassable.
**Fishing opportunities: Lake Anna offers both public and private fishing areas. "Being in Shenandoah is a soothing experience. With so many hiking trails and waterfalls nearby we love to camp in Big Meadows - and for the star watching at night," notes a visitor to Big Meadows Campground.
**Wildlife viewing: Many campgrounds report frequent deer sightings. At Big Meadows, campers report, "You will definitely see deer in the campground as they walk through and browse the understory. They are unafraid of humans unless directly approached."
**Local exploration: The region offers historical sites within driving distance. "We drove about 25 minutes to the Monticello and enjoyed it a lot!" shares a camper who stayed at Shenandoah Crossing, where visitors can also enjoy "horseback riding, go karts, mini golf" according to another reviewer.
**Private sites: Many campgrounds offer wooded sites that create privacy. "Though this campground is HUGE, the sites are not piled on top of each other. Our site, B112, was surrounded by shrubs under the canopy of trees which provided tons of privacy," reports a Big Meadows camper.
**Clean facilities: Bathhouse cleanliness ranks high on camper priorities. At Champs RV Military at Fort AP Hill, a reviewer noted the "showers and bathrooms are super clean; laundry facility is clean."
**Evening atmosphere: Campfires and natural lighting create memorable experiences. "The fireflies are spectacular. At dusk, the ground shimmers, and then after they disperse, you will still see them flit by the tent throughout the night," shares a Big Meadows visitor.
**Military training impacts: Some campgrounds near military installations experience occasional disruptions. A Champs RV visitor reported, "Sometimes you hear military field training going on (live ranges, helicopters, and ospreys - but I don't mind)."
**Cell service challenges: Coverage varies significantly by carrier and location. At Champs RV, a camper noted "limited cell service (StarLink or similar is your best option)," while many campgrounds have minimal to no coverage.
**Reservation requirements: Advanced booking is essential during peak seasons. At Lake Anna State Park Campground, the campground "gets very crowded during weekends and holiday's," making early reservations critical.
**Weather considerations: Summer heat and humidity can be intense. "During summer months, electrical capacity becomes important as temperatures regularly exceed 90 degrees," making reliable RV hookups essential.
**Playground access: Several campgrounds feature dedicated play areas. At The HarmStead Campground, "Highlight for the kids were the playground and the fireflies at night."
**Wildlife feeding opportunities: Some campgrounds offer structured animal interactions. At The HarmStead Campground, "The hosts provided our kids with a cup of animal food to feed the goats and the emu."
**Swimming options: Check for pools or swimming areas. Lake Anna State Park has "a clean and very family oriented" swimming area, and one camper mentioned "great hiking trails, a small 'beach', a lake to fish in, & multiple really nice playgrounds for kids."
**Noise considerations: Bathroom proximity can affect sleep quality. One Big Meadows camper warned, "The vent sounds like a diesel truck idling nonstop. At night people using flashlights and headlamps walking away from the bathroom shine them into your tent."
**Site levelness: RV campers report mixed experiences with site grading. At R & D Family Campground near Mineral, Virginia, "Park appeared clean. Had a basketball hoop and wooded area," though some reviewers noted challenges with sites.
**Hookup height: Check connections before setup. At Shenandoah Hills Campground (now Madison Vines RV Resort), "Our only complaint was that the sewage connection was slightly higher than the black tank outlet on our Airstream."
**Pad materials: RV sites near Mineral, Virginia feature various surfaces. Cozy Acres Campground offers "Level sites with brick paver pads, full hookups," while Madison Vines RV Resort has "level gravel (no pads)" sites.
**Site spacing: Campgrounds offer varying degrees of separation between sites. At Americamps RV Resort, "While the sites were close together in typical RV park style, they were not scrapping together like we've seen at some places and there were many well established trees to provide lots of shade instead of being in an open field."
