3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Spacious Skies Shenandoah Views and #1 Rock Tavern River Kamp anchor the luxury outdoor accommodation options in the Shenandoah Valley near Mount Jackson. These distinctive glamping destinations feature private yurts with comfortable beds, climate control, and stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Shenandoah Views property boasts luxury glamping yurts with pergola-covered patios and Adirondack chairs perfectly positioned for mountain sunsets, while Rock Tavern River Kamp offers waterfront yurts with pristine river views just steps from the Shenandoah River. Both locations provide full bathrooms with hot showers, kitchenettes for meal preparation, and fire pits for evening relaxation. A recent visitor mentioned, "A beautiful campground with everything a tourist could possibly want for a spectacular vacation. Each evening, people would turn the colorful patio chairs towards west and enjoy a spectacular sunset."
Located within 20 minutes of Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns, these boutique camping experiences combine natural immersion with upscale comforts. The unique positioning between mountain ranges and working farms creates an atmosphere where guests can observe livestock while enjoying premium accommodations. On-site recreation includes swimming pools, extensive dog parks, and walking trails, while proximity to the Luray-Hawksbill Greenway offers direct access to downtown Luray's shops and restaurants. Skyline Drive access points nearby provide entry to miles of hiking trails and scenic overlooks. Water enthusiasts appreciate the direct river access for tubing and swimming during warmer months. According to a camper, "We had a great stay with the best view from a campsite we've ever experienced. Less than 20-minutes from Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns." Year-round availability means these glamping destinations accommodate all-season getaways, though fall foliage season typically requires advance bookings.
"Nice facilities (shower, bathrooms, garbage, etc.), but the campsites themselves leave a bit to be desired. Pros: deer wander the grounds, making for some beautiful morning animal encounters."
"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."

"This campground has an awesome location between Harrisonburg and Luray/Shenandoah. It has great amenities like a pool and playground, a camp store and lots of friendly and helpful employees."
"Bathrooms are very clean. Ice, propane, and other items are available on site at the store. Halloween was in full effect including a haunted walk."
"We enjoyed the many trails and walking our dog along the river. We would highly recommend and will come back."
"Normally we’re tent campers, but this time we opted for the climate controlled cabins of this state park. Cabins were wonderful. Essentially a little house off in its own little “cabin neighborhood.”"

"But as with most campgrounds, the air was filled with kids laughing and campfire smoke. We played mini golf and the course needed a lot of work. We also went to the pools."
"beautiful location, nice campground. not a lot of woods but lots to do including jumping pillows, paddle boats, swimming. the cabins are spacious and nice though you have to bring your own linens. the"
"Usually go camping with a Little Guy teardrop trailer, but with the current state of the country, didn’t feel comfortable with sharing bathroom facilities. We booked Yurt #1. It was fantastic."
"When we arrived at Spacious Skies the office staff was so nice and helpful! I had not made a reservation online because since this was our first time I was unsure of how everything works."

"We could not have asked for a nicer location! Our tent was about 20 feet from the river and the campground had everything we could have asked for (including spotless bathroom and shower facilities!)"

"There is Rockcliff lake and small beach area, an overlook (Lina Constable Overlook) to hike to right off the camp loop but it’s 1 mile steep incline at times but worth every step. Gorgeous!"
"The area closes completely (entrance gate is locked) from Dec 21 - May 1. The site was super clean and well maintained. Lots of hiking trails and a very easy one that loops around the Rockcliff Lake."

"It was adjacent to a farm and like others have mentioned, it was a bit smelly at times. They had a huge dog park that my dog loved. They also had multiple dog bag stations throughout the campground."
"Wright next to the Luray caves and near the starting point of the Skyline drive. Nice, quietly located camping, surrounded by fields."
"The picnic table and fire pit at each campsite was fantastic, and Pam was great and very helpful."
"Most of the spots pull up near the creek and have a picnic table and fire pit with a grill."
GuideI fear that yurt glamping may have ruined me against tent camping again! This was absolutely lovely. We stayed in the painted horse yurt. Cozy, comfy, lots of amenities. The only downside here is the sulfur odor the water in the bathroom has, but it is very good for your skin at least! I’d stay here again for sure.
ScoutFriendly staff, great riding right from the camper and a neat playground for the kids.
GuideQuite the dump and almost no one around to talk to. There is a bathroom with running water, flushing toilets, and a shower. But it is cramped and not attractive. Most of the sites are right underneath the freeway, and very noisy. Primitive sites away from the road noise are nothing more than a wide area of the dirt road.
ScoutWas looking for a last-minute getaway on a busy weekend, and they seemed the best option. I've always associated private campgrounds with crowding and sites on top of each other. I couldn't have been more wrong about The Cove. There is more wooded space between sites than in many National Parks.
Some sections are best accessed via 4WD, which I think is a great way to keep things from getting too crowded.
Such a huge diversity of types of sites, from lakeside to wooded, to open fields. They have something for everyone.
The bathrooms are ok. Other than the shower area and the reception, most toilets are pit toilets. If you want to be walking distance to showers, make sure to book sites near them. For most sites, it's going to be a hike or a drive.
And on top of that, they have a beach for the kids, boat rentals, and a range.
This was our first visit, but we will definitely be coming back.
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.
RangerThis KOA has cozy spots among the trees and off any major road. Shower houses are squeaky clean and spots are spaced out just right! Some extra amenities: playground, camper core signage, and many other things!
TravelerNice, clean, parking lot type campground. Great pool with lots of built in splash features for kids and a big slide. No real view from site 665 ~ just the top of some mountains. No river view at all. There is a golf cart trail to the river access with parking, but then there are big steps with no hand rail. Lucky a nice man let me hold onto him walking back up. My husband was carrying the gear and couldn’t help me. It seems everyone brought a golf cart. They had rentals, but too expensive. Again ~ great for young families.
ScoutSuch a hidden gem! Beautiful place. Great host! Just what we were looking for
ScoutGreat camp ground, spots are a little un-level
