Glen Maury Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Sitting along the Maury River in Buena Vista, Virginia, Glen Maury Park is a municipally operated campground that draws both overnight travelers off I-81 and longer-term RV campers looking for full hookups. The park divides into two distinct sections: the upper campground has full electric, water, and sewer hookups along with a bathhouse and picnic tables at most sites, while the lower campground provides water and sewer connections only. Larger rigs are routed to the lower area. The campground is open year-round and accepts reservations.

Sites in the upper campground sit close together, and electric posts serve multiple sites, so campers running high-draw appliances like air conditioning may need an extension cord. Verizon signal is reported as solid throughout. The park also functions as a community events venue, hosting bluegrass, fiddle, and jazz festivals at various points in the year, along with a pavilion, playground, and a swimming pool with a diving board. The river runs along the property, and several reviewers highlight the waterfront access as a consistent draw. Campers visiting in fall should be aware that stink bugs have been a notable nuisance, with at least one long-term visitor reporting them persisting well after their stay.

Mario F. notes the campground is "close to Lexington," making it a reasonable base for exploring the Shenandoah Valley region. Those wanting dispersed camping rather than a developed park can find a different experience at Shady Mountain Road Dispersed — George Washington NF a few miles to the east.

Beautiful place with all the amenities

Overnight stay off I-81. Easy in and out. VERY well kept and super friendly staff. I highly recommend. Larger rigs need to stay in the lower campground and there are no sewer connections, but the dump station is all good.

Great place for events

I have been to many music festivals here, and always find myself impressed by the view and the river. Lots of great site options for whatever your preference is! It's also a convenient walking or driving distance from the rest of town.

Peaceful

Great campsites available at a very reasonable price. Beautiful views at the upper campground. Full hookup only on upper campground. Lower campground only has water and sewage. The stink bugs were terrible in the season we went. 5 months later and we are still finding stink bugs in our 5th wheel camper. There is a bathhouse on upper campground. Picnic tables at most sites on upper campground. Stayed for a month. Close to Lexington. Would stay again!

Good for One Night Stay

Heading back home to north Florida from two months in New England and needed a site for the night. Temps were in the 90’s (missing Vermont already) and we wanted at least a 30 amp hookup to run A/C. Electric posts support four different sites, so needed to drag out the extension cord. But, power was good and the evening/night was peaceful. Good Verizon signal to stream as well.
