6 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several established RV parks dot the Shenandoah Valley landscape near Maurertown, with options ranging from rustic to full-service resorts. Endless Caverns RV Resort in New Market provides 142 full hookup sites with 30/50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections across its wooded setting. Sites at Luray RV Resort on Shenandoah River accommodate up to 350 RVs with full hookups, while Fort Valley Ranch offers 45 back-in and pull-through sites with electric, water, and sewer options. Most parks feature gravel pads, though site dimensions and privacy vary considerably. KOA Luray RV Resort includes big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp service, though spacing between units tends to be tight. "We found that Site #39 was big enough for our motor home and Jeep with full hook-ups and 50-amp service, though the drive requires about 25-miles through steep grade hills."
Mountain terrain shapes the camping experience throughout the region, with some access roads featuring 7% grades and tight turns that challenge larger motorhomes. Pull-through sites at Endless Caverns require careful navigation on gravel roads that can be steep in sections. Many parks remain open year-round, though services may be reduced during winter months. Dump stations are available at most locations, including Andy Guest/Shenandoah River State Park Campground. Cell service varies dramatically—Verizon coverage proves spotty in mountain valleys while T-Mobile maintains better connectivity in elevated areas. Pet policies typically allow dogs with restrictions, and most parks provide dedicated pet areas. One reviewer noted the inconsistent amenities: "The electric pole was knocked over and the water spigot was about 4 inches from the ground. All the hookups were just in odd spots. The sewer hookups were pretty far away and definitely need extra hoses."
"We had a great back in site, that although a little unlevel, was really private and in the back corner. It was adjacent to a farm and like others have mentioned, it was a bit smelly at times."
"Wright next to the Luray caves and near the starting point of the Skyline drive. Nice, quietly located camping, surrounded by fields."
"We recently stayed at Fort Valley Ranch Campground, near Luray, VA and I can only say good things about our experience and the FVR's management."
from $30 - $45 / night
"We brought our paddle boards and river access was super easy. Freshwater hookup and electrical hookup were convenient (and the water tasted great :)."
"The campground offers adventures like rafting, biking, tubing and zip lining to name a few."
"If you have a class A or are looking for something with full hookups, look no further."
"Location is prime!! Loved the RV sites right on the water. Perfect if you are a trout fisherman or hiker."
from $45 / night
"This campground (RV Resort) is simply beautiful. Wooded, stone borders, stone walls, and stone fire pits at every site, plus full hookup at each site."
"The ‘resort’ features include a pool, laundry, pickleball courts, volleyball courts, disk golf, horseshoes, picnic tables and fire rings, a kid’s activity area, a rec center that includes an arcade, swings"
from $45 - $249 / night

"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. "
"Great proximity to Shenandoah National Park while still being close enough to a Walmart and fuel. Easy to access sites, great for larger rigs!"

TravelerLong drive thru spots, lots of space between campsites. Really inexpensive laundry ($1 to wash $1 to dry) $5 showers for 10 minutes. Nice bathrooms. Dry camping at its finest. Close drive to Grand caverns and Luray caverns.
TravelerVery nicely maintained sites. Cost per night but can't pay via application cause there is no cell service. Water wasn't working or on but that was anticipated.
GuideLovely spot to camp as the temps drop. $30/night, first-come. Restrooms, fire pits, picnic tables, and mostly flat spots.
ScoutVery accommodating, we are traveling through and called at the last minute for a spot overnight. We stayed right on the creek.
GuideGreat spot! Was first-come first-serve - we got there mid-afternoon on a Monday and it'd filled up by about 5pm. Clean & well-stocked facilities. All the sites are pretty close together/little seclusion, but those across from us (13) probably offered the most seclusion in the upper loop there. Firewood from the camp store (3rd party - not NPS) was $10/bundle, which was kind of expensive - will probably bring my own treated firewood next time. Very pretty sunset/sunrise. Good grassy/gravel spots for tenting.
GuideGreat campground! Facilities were well-stocked and clean. Stayed at a walk-in site (005), which was nice because it's a very short walk from the reserved parking spot and it's on the outside of the ring so comparatively secluded. All traffic entering the campground passes by it, which might be annoying to some (esp. during peak season I'd bet) but we didn't find it disturbing. The site also has its own bear box (adjacent sites 006 & 007 have to share one). One note - the site map shows a separate trail going right from the parking spot to the site, but you actually have to walk through site 006 to get to it. Also, we learned that the camp store is not run by the NPS, and the kid who was running the store does not provide great service, to say the least; he was very rude when there was a credit card snafu, and made us go down to the wayside store to get our refund even though he was the one who double-charged us. Don't blame NPS though! Also, firewood is kind of expensive ($10/bundle); consider bringing your own treated/kiln-dried from a nearby store before entering the park!
ScoutQuit, right along the creek, dollar general is right down the street. If only that house wasn’t looking down on me🤷♂️
TravelerGreat spot! Water taps appear to be turned off for winter. Flushing toilets. Waterfall hike nearby!
ScoutStayed here for 2 weekday nights in mid-October, late season. Nice & quiet. Warm showers, clean bathrooms, nice staff.
There was some vehicle activity with vehicles as they were still running river trips.
Very pleasant.

Seasonal considerations: Andy Guest/Shenandoah River State Park remains open year-round. "We stayed here on the night of December 11, 2020.
