Best RV Parks & Resorts near Winchester, VA

Several RV campgrounds operate near Winchester, Virginia with varying hookup options and site configurations. Harpers Ferry Campground, located approximately 30 miles from Winchester, provides RV sites with electric, water, and sewer hookups in a riverside setting. The Cove Campground in Gore offers full-hookup sites with 50-amp service and can accommodate larger motorhomes on their big-rig friendly pads. "The spots are too small, so I would suggest staying on gravel," noted one camper about site selection at a nearby resort. Bull Run Regional Park maintains year-round RV sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service, while Candy Hill Campground enforces strict RVIA certification requirements for all motorhomes and travel trailers.

Navigation to some mountain campgrounds requires careful planning due to narrow access roads and elevation changes. Full-hookup availability varies significantly between parks, with most offering water and electric connections while dump stations are sometimes positioned at campground exits rather than at individual sites. One visitor mentioned that "you really need to be proficient at backing the RV into tight spaces" at certain locations where maneuvering room is limited. Pet policies are generally accommodating across the region, though seasonal operation dates differ substantially - several parks close between November and March. Cell service can be unreliable in more remote valley locations, particularly in West Virginia campgrounds within 45 minutes of Winchester. Reservations are strongly recommended during peak fall foliage season when RV sites throughout the Shenandoah Valley fill quickly.

Guide to Winchester

Camping destinations near Winchester, Virginia span elevation ranges from 600 to 2,400 feet with variable terrain across the Shenandoah Valley and into West Virginia. The camping season typically runs April through October, though several parks maintain year-round operations. Fall foliage peaks in mid-October when temperatures average 45-65°F with reduced humidity compared to summer months.

What to do

Riverside tubing and water activities: At Harpers Ferry Campground, campers enjoy direct water access. "Gorgeous spot on the river. Small campground with not a lot of amenities BUT THAT RIVER IS GORGEOUS. Lots of activities - tubing, zip lining, fishing," notes Darcy S. Many sites provide immediate river access for swimming or relaxation.

Historical exploration: The area features numerous Civil War sites within 30-45 minutes of Winchester. "We greatly enjoyed the Virginia Museum of the Civil War and the New Market Battlefield Museum," reports Sara M., who visited while staying at Endless Caverns. Walking trails connect some campgrounds to historical sites, with Harpers Ferry accessible via a 1.5-mile trail from some camping areas.

Underground cavern tours: Several campgrounds offer cave exploration opportunities at discounted rates for campers. "The cavern tour (at Endless Caverns) was lovely. Marked well, lighted, relaxed. Our tour guide, Haley, was a sweetheart," shares Clark P. Tours typically last 45-60 minutes and cost $16-24 for adults with family discounts available.

What campers like

Natural privacy barriers: Some campgrounds maintain forest cover between sites. At Endless Caverns RV Resort, "Sites in C usually back up into a wooded or naturally landscaped area that allow a nice sense of woodsy privacy," according to Sara M. Tent campers particularly value shaded sites during summer months when temperatures regularly exceed 85°F.

Hiking trail access: Many campgrounds connect directly to trail systems. "The hike that leads to the lookout about harpers ferry was fantastic. This hike takes you well above the town settled in West Virginia," writes Anthony S. Walking paths connect multiple camping areas to longer trails including the C&O Canal towpath which runs for miles in either direction.

Fishing opportunities: On-site ponds provide fishing without leaving the campground. Jennifer K. mentions Little Orleans Campground has a "Really cute duck/goose pond you can even fish in (catch and release)," while other campgrounds offer direct river access for anglers. No Maryland or Virginia fishing license is required for catch-and-release at private campground ponds.

What you should know

Train noise considerations: Railroad proximity affects several riverside campgrounds. At Brunswick Family Campground, "Brunswick train station and depot is just a few hundred feet away and you can hear trains at all times of the night," warns Sherri C. At Harpers Ferry Campground, Kristen M. notes, "When the train comes barreling by at 1am, 2am and 3am you either laugh or you cry depending on how tired you are."

Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds close between November and March. Brunswick Family Campground operates March 25 through November 1, while Harpers Ferry Campground runs April 1 to October 31. Weather conditions in the mountains can extend closures if early spring snowfall occurs.
