Nice camping for you and all your friends

We rented this site for a work retreat in early fall. For many people it was their first time camping and this was a great introduction. Close to National Forests and Shenandoah NP. Pretty lake, lovely wooded sites that are really private. Sites are fairly basic, typical State Park style. We had a canoe that made this extra fun. You absolutely need to reserve sites. Swimming and other activities during the summer.
