North Fork Resort

North Fork Resort accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups and offers tent sites alongside boat-in and walk-in options on the Shenandoah River. The property operates as a membership resort but accepts overnight guests, with rates that several reviewers noted as higher than typical campgrounds.

Sites cluster tightly together throughout much of the property, particularly in the upper areas. Campers consistently mention the close proximity between camping spots, with some describing the layout as "packed tight." The back section provides direct river access, though Lindsey R. notes the waterfront is "totally overgrown so no real view." A large open field occupies the valley floor, and the facility includes two designated dog parks for pet owners.

Weekend programming features live music and organized group activities during the camping season. The resort maintains a swimming pool, playgrounds, and shower facilities housed in mobile units. Staff members receive positive mentions for helpfulness, though multiple reviewers describe the overall facilities as showing wear. Many permanent RVs occupy sites year-round, contributing to the crowded atmosphere.

For those exploring the region, camping near Front Royal provides additional options. Reservations are recommended, especially for riverside sites that fill quickly during peak season.

Guests frequently mentioned the friendly staff, river location, and pet amenities as highlights. However, cramped site spacing and high nightly rates ($60-70) were common complaints across multiple reviews.

Just ok

Huge campground. Lots of activities. But very run down. Lots of permanent RVs. All parked very close. On the river but totally overgrown so no real view. Safe for one night. Overpriced at $70

This place is nice. Ignore the negatives

This was a really nice place. Perhaps the price is higher than people were hoping for, but we were on the Shenandoah river with river access.

There is a pool though 2020 coronavirus means its not open every day, but not their fault. There are playgrounds and open fields and it is very nicely kept. The upper area does have lots a bit close so if you have an RV I recommend the back area right on the river.

It's OK.

The only 2 good things I found were the friendly staff and the nicer dog run area. Otherwise, the place is pretty run down and very crowded. I wouldn't do an extended stay here again.

Late June 2019

First time visiting North Fork, didn’t explore as much as I wanted to, Campers are tightly parked next to one another, was invited by my Uncle to come have a good time and enjoy the atmosphere, go tubing down the river. They had some bands playing that weekend as well. I’ll need to return sometime and look around a little more.

Nice

I have mixed feelings about this campground, you are really packed tight with other campers. but they do have lots of amenities and camping right on the river. The shower houses were mobile units but I love the big field in the valley

Expensive

Stopped here for a tent site. And the cost was almost $60 a night. They do offer discounts for some associations but I wasn’t a member of any.
