"Halloween was in full effect including a haunted walk. Sites are spacious and have natural stone in ground fire pits instead of rusted metal rims which adds character."
"Convenient to the highway and easy to get to. Sites are well spaced. Hookups were well positioned. Walking trail starts at the campground. WiFi worked pretty well. Overall a great KOA."
"Stayed here with three other girls and my dog- it was a great spot! Nice and close to some great trails for our evening walk, and nothing beats staying Inside the NP!"
"This was a great campground location to many, many National Park Trails. Our stay was during the last week of September. We met up with family who live in the area and got 3 sites hugging the AT."

"Once you turn onto Switzer Lake Rd from U.S. 33 and find the parking area to the lake on your left, be prepared to drive another 2ish miles on a single lane and very bumpy dirt road."
"Some things to note- the lake front campsites fill up quickly and they are not drive in. Since I sleep in my Jeep, I needed a drive in spot."
"Camped up there with just my dog and I doubt there was a single person for miles around. The sunset and sunrise views are insane. Made it up in a stock Subaru Outback."

TravelerThis place was perfect for a DC city escape. The drive to get there was easy, though it does turn into gravel for a bit at the end. The campground is clean and has showers. Perfect loop for tubing walking distance from the campsites and a nice loop trail around the campsite as well.
ScoutNice single site sheltered from road and neighboring properties. We backed in a full size pickup with no problem. We set up hammocks, but there was plenty of flat space for tents. Good fire ring: we bought firewood from a local place found on FB marketplace. It was very quiet at night with a little vehicle noise from the nearby roads in the morning. A great spot to camp when hiking in Shenandoah NP.
ScoutEscorted to your site- and needed with the steepness of the campground. Sites are large and spacious, though! Also appreciated the gate at entrance. Excellent property!
TravelerThere aren't many spots... everything is off of the road. The road quality is good though. There's a very large parking area for room for an RV or many cars to camp. It's been very quiet. Not many people out here or who come down the road. There are some hunters who come here but didn't have any issues. Not a place I would stay more than a night. Not much privacy.
GuideI'm excited about visiting here and have heard a lot from a certain friend. I can't wait to hear all of God's peace and be in serenity ❤️
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.
Singers Glen dispersed camping offers primitive options with no amenities and several established campgrounds with full facilities. Located in the western foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains at elevations ranging from 1,200-3,600 feet, the area experiences cool mountain nights even during summer months. The region features limestone formations and numerous waterways that create unique camping environments.
Hiking nearby trails: The Appalachian Trail passes through Loft Mountain Campground where "the AT runs right through the campground" according to Katrin M., who noted you can access excellent hiking directly from your campsite.
Cave exploration: At Endless Caverns RV Resort, tours of the adjacent limestone cave system are available at a discount for campers. Clark P. describes the experience as "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."
Fishing opportunities: Shenandoah Valley Campground offers a stocked fishing pond where campers can try their luck. Jerry G. mentions "decent fishing in the pond" as one of the campground's attractions.
Disk golf course: Several campgrounds offer recreational activities beyond hiking. Kathy L. notes that the "hiking trail into the hills and woods at the back of the property" at Harrisonburg-Shenandoah Valley KOA provides a chance to "run, walk & stretch."
Cedar tree canopy: Hawk Nest Mushroom Farm provides a unique camping setting. RALPH P. describes it as "a very unique campsite setup not too far from the house/mushroom farm area" where "the camp area sits under a canopy of cedar trees."
Mountain solitude: At Flagpole Knob, campers appreciate the remoteness. Sydney D. shares, "If you really wanna be alone this is the spot. Camped up there with just my dog and I doubt there was a single person for miles around. The sunset and sunrise views are insane."
Wildlife viewing: Deer sightings are common at Big Meadows Campground. Veronica S. reports, "You will definitely see deer in the campground as they walk through and browse the understory. They are unafraid of humans unless directly approached."
Waterfall access: Natural Chimneys Regional Park offers camping near unique geological formations. Lauren N. mentions a "refreshing creek to wade in, hiking, biking, swimming in the pool and gorgeous views of the night sky are all activities you can partake in."
Vehicle requirements: For dispersed camping areas, high-clearance vehicles are often necessary. Mike C. warns about Switzer Lake: "Be prepared to drive another 2ish miles on a single lane and very bumpy dirt road. Go slow as several sharp corners with huge drops and inexperienced drivers coming towards you."
Cell service limitations: Many campgrounds have limited or no connectivity. Dale Y. notes at Harrisonburg - Shenandoah Valley KOA, "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."
