      South Fork Shenandoah River

      About a half a mile down to gravel road to a very small boat launch and a loop where there are some fire pits but this is not really dispersed camping in the traditional sense. I saw a few fire pits on the other side of a guardrail where you could pitch a tent alongside the road. Noticeable highway noise in an otherwise scenic location

      Swallow Falls State Park Campground

      Beautiful area with a waterfall hike

      Lovely little campground in a beautiful forest, with a great waterfall hike walkable to the campground. I stayed in Garrett in October and it was still packed full of people, which for me was nice because I like feeling like I'm in a community of campers. But the sites were super close together, basically right now the main drag, not very private, especially without leaf cover, and a little smaller than I expected. But well kept, in more forest than I was expecting, and I enjoyed myself. The canyon trail was mobbed, but it was a stunning weekend so that's not surprising. Bathrooms in the offseason could have used a bit more attention, but they weren't too bad.

      #1 Rock Tavern River Kamp

      I 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.

      Shenandoah River Outfitters Camp Outback

      Off-peak small RV camping

      Stayed here for 2 weekday nights in mid-October, late season. Nice & quiet. Warm showers, clean bathrooms, nice staff.

      There was some vehicle activity with vehicles as they were still running river trips.

      Very pleasant.

      Gooney Creek Campground

      Quite 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.

    Guide to Romney

    Middle Ridge Campground spans 16 wooded campsites across Romney's mountainous terrain, situated at approximately 1,100 feet elevation. The campground's gravel roads require careful navigation, especially for larger vehicles on the steep, narrow access routes leading to the mountaintop location. Water pressure can be limited, typically measuring between 20-25 psi at campsites.

    What to do

    Fishing access: Travel a short distance from the main camping area to reach stocked fishing ponds at Middle Ridge Campground. "My husband and oldest son had a blast catching fish in their ponds! Large campsites with good spacing between guests, which makes your site feel private," reports Kayla M.

    River activities: The South Branch Potomac River offers swimming and paddling opportunities. At Wapocoma Campground, "The campground has a large river frontage with a gravel beach. Fishing is great as well, we never catch anything huge but the numbers are always fantastic with a 40 or 50 day not uncommon," according to JD L.

    Hiking trails: Explore the 5-mile loop trail around Lake Habeeb at Rocky Gap State Park Campground. Jeff H. notes, "The 5 mile hike around Lake Habeeb is enjoyable. Great way to see all sides of the park. Across the lake from the campground is a casino and resort."

    What campers like

    Spacious wooded sites: Campers appreciate the natural separation between sites. "We really enjoyed our stay. Quiet camping on top of a mountain. Beautiful wooded views. Hosts were amazing and plenty of space between campers. All the spots are shaded," writes Lyle & Stephanie H. about Middle Ridge.

    Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathhouses and common areas. Kimberly H. reports about Rocky Gap: "The bath house was kept very clean, even though the campground was full. We brought paddle boards and the lake was perfect for paddle boarding."

    Wildlife viewing: The Cove Campground offers unique animal encounters. Nancy L. mentions, "Free range, friendly goats wander around, which is kinda fun." Similarly, at Middle Ridge, campers enjoy the resident donkeys that are safely separated from camping areas.

    What you should know

    Access challenges: Mountain roads can be difficult to navigate. Stephen H. warns about Middle Ridge: "Road to access the campground was good with some tight turns up the hill the last couple of miles. The campground itself is gravel roads that were pretty tight gettin in and out of and fairly steep with trees on all sides."

    Water pressure: At several campgrounds, water supply can be limited. "Water pressure was just a bit weak and used our water tank and pump during our stay. Best we could get for water pressure out of the hose was 25-20 psi," notes Stephen H.

    Pet policies: While many campgrounds welcome pets, Wapocoma Campground has specific restrictions. Gene E. mentions, "We really wanted to go to this campground, but 'no bully breeds' allowed means we will never go or recommend."

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly activities: Look for campgrounds with designated play areas. Katie H. says about Rocky Gap: "Near the beach there is a nice playground near shade for parents to watch. I really like that there are trails from the camp loops to the beach."
