  Endless Caverns RV Resort & Cottages

  Wonderful location, excellent RV Park

  July 10-19, 2020

  As my wife and I were discussing my review, I asked her what could we point to to take away from a 5-star rating. Neither of us could think of a single thing.

  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. They cater nicely to big rigs, offering numerous pull-through sites as well as back-in sites, as your need exists. Small rigs down to tent trailers camp here as well. There are only two restroom locations (same with the dumpsters; guests do not leave trash near their sites, guests are expected to take care of their own trash), but they are clean, well cared for, and odor free. Showers are the same.

  Most sites are spaced enough to give some feeling of privacy, some are fairly close together. A few sites are nicely secluded for those of us that crave privacy. Staff was extremely pleasant and helpful, and include a “Camp host” for after hours problems. Because of Virginia restrictions due to the current COVID situation, as of this writing the pool and spacious game room are not open. Check with them if that is a gamechanger for you. Their cavern tour (discounted for guests at the RV park) 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. Plenty of things to do nearby, including museums, Civil War Battlefields, shopping, and Skyline Drive (fantastic).

  This is a quiet campground, with no street lights, and quiet hours from 11PM to 8AM. Definitely not a party campground, which totally endeared this place to us. Roads are gravel and can be a bit steep, 4-wheel drive is helpful.

  We thoroughly loved our stay here, and assuming we are back this way, we don’t even plan on looking at other locations to stay. Can not praise this campground (RV Resort) enough.

  Madison Vines RV Resort & Cottages

  Nice Weekend 🐂

  Little family campground off of Rt. 29. Ok location for meeting friends between DC and Richmond, although if you do your research, you could find something better. At the time I went, there was a one-dog limit so one of my friends didn’t stay the night because he couldn’t bring his dog, so that was a bummer.

  Standard RV hook-up sites are available. They’ve got the usual: bathhouses, fire ring, picnic table. They were selling local bison at the camp store so we bought some and made burgers. There’s also an Amish market, Yoder’s, just up the road. They have everything you could need, including hot coffee, deli sandwiches (the have the best bread), biscuits and gravy, freshly baked items, bulk goods, a petting zoo and so much more. They’re closed Sundays, so stock up the day before!

  Overall we had a good time as we were there to meet friends vs. take in the scenery. If you’re looking for scenery - check out Graves Mill for a hike or hit Skyline Drive for hiking and camping. Madison is a beautiful county.

  Don’t come here if you actually want to camp

  The tent sites are ON TOP of each other. No trees. Zero seclusion. This is an rv resort.

  Endless Caverns RV Resort & Cottages

  Great value

  This resort exceeded our expectations. Sites are HUGE. They’re in the woods and up hills and around corners so you really feel like you’re camping, not at an rv resort. The value was great for our 2 month stay here. Peaceful. Saw many animals.

  Great Place

  Endless Caverns RV resort is a great place to stay and the location is perfect! There are so many attractions nearby. We stayed over the Labor Day weekend and had a late arrival and Frank was very helpful in leading us to our site.

  The campground is very quiet and not lit up like a Christmas tree which is something we prefer. If you’re looking for a great place to stay in the Shenandoah Valley look no further.

  Christopher Run Campground

  Great for Adults

  The campground is pretty big and has a wonderful beach with swim access to the lake. Most of the campers are long time seasonal campers, and a lot even live here. The beach is well maintained and campsites are spacious. Pull through options available. The playground is for kids 5+ and there’s not much to do outside of swimming in the lake for 5 and under. People at the lake were friendly but long term campers seemed to want to have nothing to do with anyone. I’d recommend for adults and teens more so than large families with younger kiddos.

  Gooney Creek Campground

  Annothaaaa one

  Pam’s got jokes! I believe she is the owner or maybe just the long term host. Either way awesome lady and made us laugh. I have stayed here a couple times.

  Lots of cool little camps along the creek. Group site is secluded, and spacious.

  Bathrooms are clean. Water is so hot it hurts. Laundry area. Large sink for dishes. Even a little free library.

  The “clutter” others mention is irrelevant to the camp. Seems to just be in the private areas.

  Misty Mountain Camp Resort

  Well run campground with lots of amenities

  Misty Mountain offers something for everyone - spacious, level well-maintained full hook up sites that can accommodate any size trailer or RV, more rustic tent camping sites, quiet creekside camper sites with electric and water, and both modern and rustic cabins. The camp store is well stocked and even offers a very nice wine selection, plus local canned salsa, spaghetti sauce, and pie! There are many amenities for families - a huge bouncy mat, a fishing pond, playground, large group campfire, sports area, and a nice rec room. They have free donuts and coffee on Sundays, and special events many Saturdays. The shower and laundry facility is very new with modern, clean amenities. The showers are private suites and are large and nice enough that some people with showers in their campers still choose to use the camp ones instead. The site areas closest to the camp store and recreation area are the nicest - the RV sites up the hill by the cabins are smaller and closer together. The whole facility is very well maintained and the camp hosts live on site.

  Shenandoah Valley Campground

  Nice grounds, tight spaces, wifi doesn’t work, no cell service for Verizon

  Pros- the grounds are very nice, lots of trees, level sites, some grass, lots of activities for the kids. Tent sites by the river, a pool, hot tubs, store, cafe with limited items. Laundry facility. Wild but tame bunnies are everywhere. 

  Cons - we were there in October and they close on 10/31 for the season so we got the feeling they weren’t that into it anymore. Bathrooms and showers were disgusting. Very dirty with what appeared to be mold around the upper section of the shower. Store not well stocked. Hot tub room had a mildew odor, same with the bathrooms. Laundry was dirty, machines not clean. No wifi, no cable and cell service is limited - definitely not good for Verizon. There were no fewer than half a dozen people walking around with their phones held high trying to get a signal and all seemed to congregate in  front of our trailer so we were able to hear their conversations. We thought the cable issue might have been on our end but after taking to other campers we found out they were having the same problem. Spaces are tight.

  Bonus - Halloween is a big even in many RV parks and this was no exception. There were a few campers who fixed up a trailer as a haunted house and decorated the outside to the max. We did enjoy our evening walk around the park looking at decorated RVs.

  Although we could see the potential the park, we wouldn’t stay again.

  Misty Mountain Camp Resort

  Quiet campground and nice amenities

  Pros: this campground is fairly quiet (at least when I visited in fall), and has nice amenities including free hot showers.

  Cons: they definitely cater to RVs. They have a primitive tent area, but it only has a vault toilet. The bathhouses (with showers and flush toilets) are all located in the loops with full hook up sites; I would expect if you had to choose to put facilities in one area over another, the tent area would make more sense since RVs have their own toilets and showers on board.

  Given the chance, I probably wouldn't stay here again unless I was passing through.

  Skyline Ranch Resort

  Terrible

  To whom it may concern.

  my family and I were guest at the Resort over Columbus Day weekend. We were at the Resort in October 2019 and remember how well it was kept up and clean and we looked forward to returning, not the case this weekend we were disappointed on how dirty, trashy and gloomy the Resort has become. Many of the long-term camping sites looked dirty and the trailers are not being kept up or maintained. Some sites had trash bags thrown around. The showers were dirty with bugs everywhere, definitely did not want to experience a shower in there.

  Our family group had reserved three campsites and a chalet. We all had problems. When we made the reservations you ask, and we told you, the size of our campers. One was a large motorhome given a site which they could never fit and at luckily the office was open to make a change. Another camper was put in a site which was so small they could not use their awning and very close to their neighbor who were using their hook-ups, they too had to be moved. Your reservation personnel needs to be familiar with what size campers can go in what slots. It looks bad on you that they do not know the layout of the campground.

  As for my site I was in #90. The site was un-level and uneven, a 15% incline, which I could not get the camper level. Sites all around me (89,91,92,93) were more level than what I had to deal with. With the incline issue I also had a sewage problem where the pipes were higher than the camper and I could not empty my tanks, water does not go up-hill. After the rain Saturday evening into Sunday we discovered the sewage line was clogged and we had the smell of sewage. There was trash and kids toys scattered around the site. I would also recommend that the fire pit be moved into site 90, right now it is in the middle of 89 and 90 and if used it could do damage to another camper or hurt someone in the process.

  Since I could not dump on my site - because it was clogged I had to go to the dump station. Your pipe is 2-feet off the ground and was even with the camper so the sewage couldn’t go down and I had to get my mother to hold it so I could walk the lines up. This is not right, no one likes to deal with sewage. Suggest you cut the pipe down so sewage can go down in the pipe.

  We also had family members staying in the Chalet and loved it, HOWEVER they mentioned how the water was brown and dirty and smelled so they were afraid of drinking it or taking a shower.

  Needless to say we all were disappointed in our stay and remarked how much the Resort had declined and not been maintained which is sad because it used to be nice. We will not be returning and will not give a recommendation.

  Spacious Skies Shenandoah Views

  Camping Gem With a Great View

  We had a great stay at Spacious Skies Shenandoah Views in Luray, VA. 

  We stayed in a level back-in site(#39) with picnic table on a concrete patio, Adirondack chairs under a pergola on a second concrete patio, clean gravel surface, and fire pit. The site was big enough for our motor home and Jeep. Full hook-ups with 50-amp service. 

  Wow, what a view! Sunset over the mountains from our campsite each evening. Who could ask for more? 

  The campground is close to Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive as well as Luray Caverns and a few smaller tourist attractions including the Luray Zoo and Bear Mountain Zip-lines. 

  They have a clean pool and playground for little kids. The nearby dairy cow farm is fun too. 

  You can tell the new owners are making some upgrades including improving the utilities and adding wi-fi. 

  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. 

  THINGS I ESPECIALLY LIKED: 

  1. The best view from a campsite we’ve ever experienced 

  2. Less than 20-minutes from Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns 

  3. Clean campground

  Endless Caverns RV Resort & Cottages

  Great Spot

  Nestled right up against the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, this is a great spot with semi- private spaces and full hook ups for RV’s. Check in was smooth with an escort. Resort has a pool on the property, well kept bathrooms, playground, and you can see the pride the staff has in the property and upkeep. There is a cavern tour which was really awesome (and relatively inexpensive), and the local town New Market has some small town shops and restaurants if you feel the need to explore locally. If Endless Caverns aren’t enough, nearby Luray Caverns are pretty close too which is very touristy.

  Keep in mind that this campground is on the side of a mountain and it can get steep getting to some of the sites- but they have done a good job with copious amounts of gravel on roadways for traction.

  Overall great experience and we’ll be back!

  Charlottesville KOA

  Nice Campground, Close to Attractions

  We really like the location of this campground as we wanted to explore the VA wine country, Monticello, Skyline Drive and other sites in the area. Overall, we liked the park which had nice campsites, was very clean and well-kept, and we liked our campsite which was level and had full hook-up. 

  Our campsite was a back-in which was in a quiet corner of the campground. The site was long enough for our 45’ motorhome and tow car. The site was perfectly level, gravel, and had nice grass on the patio which our dog enjoyed. All the utilities were well-placed, so you didn’t need additional hoses. The cable hook-up provided us with plenty of television channels and the wifi worked well (albeit we just used it to check email and did not stream anything). Some campsites are pull-thrus (if you don’t wat to unhitch or back up) but it seemed this section was busier with transient campers coming and going and the sites seemed a little tighter. Some back-in sites have a wooded area behind them and more shade than our relatively open site. There are tent sites situated under trees for shade and to add a little privacy. Tent areas have a picnic table and fire pit along with a wooden bench and high table you could use for food prep. The campground does not allow hammocks so make sure you have a tent and were not planning on sleeping in your hammock. 

  As you would expect with a KOA, there are lots of amenities and many that are geared towards kids (although we didn’t see too many during our stay). There are two really nice playground with slides, swings, climbing walls, game room, swimming pool, bouncy pillow, etc. There is a small little basketball area with one hoop and a paved surface which is adequate for shooting hoops but not playing a full-court game. The dog park was surprisingly big and we were impressed at the size which was big enough to throw a ball for our lab. Other nice amenities were the fishing pond and a½ mile nature trail in the campground.

  Lewis Mountain Campground — Shenandoah National Park

  Quaint campsite

  Arrived before the weekend, around late morning. Greeted by the park ranger, they gave the basic information for these sites. Limited spots here. You’re pretty close to your neighbor. Only some spots have bear lockers, ours did and we ended up sharing with another site that didn’t. Yes, there was warning that a bear had been really close to this area.

  There are cabins, tent sites and room for trailers. Camp store with the usual goodies. Bathrooms, dish wash station, and coin showers.

  Our spot had a picnic table and a fire ring. We stayed for a few nights with no complaints. AT trail is right there if you’re interested. We had limited to no service depending on where you were standing, so I wouldn’t expect much. But that’s why you’re out there right? There is a short trail nearby, saw some deer. The only thing I wish was a better view of the surroundings area like some of the pull. 360 view of only trees.

  Misty Mountain Camp Resort

  Great Campground!

  Misty Mountain Camp Resort is becoming one of my favorite campgrounds. I recently camped in my Winnebago motor home, in site 67. Site 67 is on the upper level of the campground, is a pull through site, and has full hookups. I was pleasantly surprised when we got there and I found out it has its own deck!!! Site also includes a fire ring and a picnic table. There are no other sites to the right of the site, so the view is awesome. No issues with electricity, water hook up fine. We did not connect to sewer, because we were only staying over night. Dog friendly space directly across from this site, so it was very convenient. Views beautiful. Bathhouse clean. Site was much longer than our 30ft motor home, we were not towing. Highly recommend this campground, staff is helpful and friendly. The sites are well maintained. I will certainly return...this was my third visit to this campground.

  Misty Mountain Camp Resort

  Nice place to stay while taking in all the area has to offer

  We enjoy our visits to Misty Mountain. While close to home, it's like a mini-vacation when we're interested in swimming, playing pool, or participating in special events. We always stay on top of the hill where it's generally less crowded. Sites # 49 and # 50 are next to the woods (a bit more private), though it's a longer walk to the bathroom.

  We're usually in the smallest trailer in the campground, as there are numerous motor homes and large trailers here. Water/electric hookups are sufficient for us, though many sites offer full hookups. We especially enjoy staying mid-week when it's less crowded.

  While more privacy in the lower section of the campground would be nice, I think many people stay here for the amenities on site (pool, game room, playground, small fishing pond, etc.), as well as being close to all the vineyards, breweries, and historical attractions within a 10-15 mile drive.

  Bathrooms are always clean, staff is always helpful.

  When this is the type of "camping" we want to do, we always have fun!

  Shenandoah Valley Campground

  Nice place to stay

  We spent 2 weeks at SVC while our trunk was in the shop(our travel trailer got towed there- highly recommend Good Sam Roadside policy). Everyone on staff was accomodating, helpful and friendly. Very nice campground ammenities- stocked fishing pond, big swimming pool, and really nice creek for tubing with waterfall to cool down on the hotter days, horseshoes, mini golf and more. The biggest negative is lack of cell service/internet. Luckily it's a short drive to get service. Weekends were packed(esp. Memorial Day), but much quieter during the week. Many sites are tight and no walking paths between rows so people regularly walk through occupied sites when it's crowded. Smaller negatives- some washer/dryers out of order and litter left by campers wasn't picked up. Overall, a nice place to stay.

  Shenandoah Valley Campground

  Fun

  We got an RV site right along the River (site 41) and it was very small. We use tents but wanted water & electric because it’s July. I’d say it’s more of an RV park than a campground. Looked at the tent sites and some seemed a little bigger than the RV ones. The River was a blast though. I wish people at the campground wouldn’t litter from their campsites or while on the river though. Lots of trash on the cliffs below the campsites and people throwing empty cans into the river while tubing. I tried to pick up as much as I can, but you’d think people who enjoy the river for it’s fun and beauty wouldn’t trash it….. can’t fix stupid I guess.

  Campground is a little rednecky but that’s not a terrible thing. If you’re looking for a place with more remote or spread out sites maybe don’t go here, but if you have kids they would probably have a blast.

  Candy Hill Campground

  Previous stay was nice. Next stay the manager was extremely rude

  Let me say first off, I have never given a negative or bad review to anything or anyone, thats just not me. Our family stayed here in May, 2022 and it was very enjoyable now 2 months later. We invited our family to stay at the campground, now July, 2022 the management was charging our family for 2 Grandchildren as visitors each day. When speaking to the management about this, he told me it wasn't my business. My cousin had told me how she approached him the day before about the charges and he literally was yelling at her and that it is what it is and shes not getting any refunds. I said to him that on line it states 2 adults and 2 children and the manager stated"I don't need to explain details to me, on line or to anyone" I said that is false advertising, he said he would change it immediately but then said he was listing me and my family as problematic campers and not welcomed back. I told him that they had already been reported to Good Sam's and the Better Business Bureau and he said he didn't care. That they were leaving Good Sams anyway. I also asked him about customer service, he said he didn't care and he didn't need to give any. PASS THIS ALONG AND if you care for camping or your family, DO NOT GO TO CANDY HILL CAMPGROUND IN WINCHESTER, VA.

  Skyline Ranch Resort

  Would NOT Stay here Again

  Ugh, this was one of the worst campgrounds we have stayed at in our twelve years of full-time RVing. First of all, the sites are very close together. Our site (which was#20 on the map but the number at our electric post was#102, go figure!) was supposed to be a pull-thru but we had to unhook the car because the site was so short and hard to get into due to narrow roads and tight turns with trees. The park is definitely not big-rig friendly, and all the sites are very close. There are many seasonals with old, dilapidated campers with lots junk around them. 

  We assume they call themselves a “resort” because there is a swimming pool, mini-golf, pavilion, playground, rental cabins, ball fields, dog park and a fishing pond, but it didn’t live up to the standards we consider for a resort. The mini-golf was in horrible condition. Everything was old and run-down. The “chalets” where super outdated, there was trash everywhere in the campground. Lots of seasonal sites with junk everywhere at their site. Behind us was a family who left their mean-looking barking dog chained to the tree all the time. The bathrooms are super outdated, and we wouldn’t even go in. Luckily, we had a full hook-up site. The nicest looking area of the park is the 8,000 square-ft Clubhouse which has a café, game room, adult lounge, wide screen tv, fitness center, and jacuzzi. We were there early in the season so some amenities were closed. There are farm animals on the property and a petting zoo with pigs, horses, ponies, goats, ducks, etc. They have a busy summer schedule of events which I’m sure entertains the kids and adults, but we weren’t staying long enough to participate. 

  Inside the brochure you get when you check-in are two-pages of guidelines and rules (which I doubt anyone reads). One of rules (#8) states that you have to clean up your area prior to departure, but since the seasonals weren’t departing I guess all the trash around their site was acceptable. That rule also states that fire pits have to be clean to fire pits but there were many fire pits full of trash.  

  I was a little nervous plugging into our electrical post which was completely wobbly and barely attached to anything and literally held together with packing tape– visions of an unpleasant electrocution experience flashed in my head. There is no cable but we were able to get seven over-the-air antenna channels (only one major network– ABC). All the utilities were at the back of our site and it took me a few minutes to find the sewer outlet which was near our neighbors designated parking spot. I suppose the only good thing was that Skyline Ranch Resort is a Passport America park and we only paid $35+tax/night for a 50-amp FHU site (which would have been the ridiculous high price of $70 otherwise). The only reason the campground gets two stars is because it was cheap for FHU. We would NOT stay here again.

  Would go back any time

  We went here for our first camping trip after buying our first camper. My daughter said she started having fun as soon as the car door opened. The spots along the creek were so nice but they are not full hookup. The full hookups were in the middle but got really muddy when it rained because there wasnt enough gravel so prepare. Other than that it was an amazing trip. Great hiking in the mountains near by.

  Creekside Campground

  Great Stop Over

  We stopped for one night as we are passing through. Very small campground. Not enough room to leave our camper hooked to the truck. We have 32 ft camper. We are backed into a pretty little spot, looking right at a flowing creek. This site is gravel, full hookups, pretty level. Fire ring and picnic table. A small store on the property sells wood. The water pressure is extremely high, so be sure to use a regulator. There are a couple of longterm campers here. 1 male and 1 female shower and toilet available.
