Shenandoah Valley Campground — Reviews

Great family campground with lots of fun

First time visit and will not be back! The good: office staff was friendly when we checked in. When they say rabbits- they mean rabbits! While it seems this is dumping spot for them- it was pretty neat to see them all. Fishing pond was busy and looked like everyone was enjoying. Waterfall was nice. The bad: Supposedly this is a Good Sam location. They (Good Sam) may want to see how this place is ran and reevaluate there partnership. If you have ever seen the movie "Wrong Turn"- this seems to be the set for it and I'm from Appalachia. Arrived Thursday- trash dumpsters are overflowing to the point I was cleaning up other people's trash including on our camp site. Gates are closed from 10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. (very weird for a campground) and seemed dangerous if you needed to leave unexpectedly.  Forget about reaching anyone at the office- they don't pickup and no cell service anyway. Our site called for a 17 ft camper depth (mind you ours is 16 ft) and had to place sideways to fit: in turn took up most of the space. Fire rings (so called) are a joke- they are rusted, sharp tire rims probably from the abandoned campers in a field by the pool. Bath house was disgusting. Was going to order food from snack bar, but after seeing bathroom- how clean could the kitchen be? Ended up getting pizza delivered and met at camp store (after driving out to main road to get signal). Staff gave driver crap about delivering to the campground... seriously? Wifi (ha!)- cell signal forget it unless you drive out of the camp grounds. Most camper sites are super tight and outdated. Water pipes leaking at a few of the sites. Electric cables (power box to power box from one site to the other) running on top of the ground. Picnic table fell apart on site. If you are camping at tent space- be careful of yellow jacket nests on your site! Wouldn't waste time or money on tubing in creek. Friday came and staff seemed to be scrambling to dump trash containers and straighten up for the party/bbq they were planning on site. I understand camping is a place to let loose, but keep an eye on your kids folks. One kid was riding a go kart (not a golf cart) and ran in to our camper. Loud music (and I mean club type speakers) playing late. Will give them credit though- they did turn down around midnight. We left early Saturday (was supposed to be there through Sunday), but did not want to deal with this place another night.

This is a wonderful gem of a campground. Yes, there are bunnies everywhere. Yes, the creek/river wraps around it. Yes, the waterfall really looks like that! Yes, there is a stocked pond for fishing (C&R for everything except trout). Bathrooms/showers are small but clean. The store is stocked with the usual snacks and essentials. Lots of kids running around, but very quiet at night without rowdy noise or music late. Mini-golf is a bit meh and $1/game. Tube rental is $10/day. Firewood is $1/stick. I’d give it 5* except for a few things. The sites themselves are quite small and they pack a large number of campers into them. The 3’ drop to the river is more like 10’ for every site not listed as “river front’ and is VERY steep. The “river front” sites have a 2-3ft drop. The fire rings are just that: rings without a grill top. All sites suitable for RVs are 90% gravel (good for parking, less good for a tent). The tent only sites are lovely with sand/grass with a water spigot for every 4-6 sites. There is WiFi, but only next to the camp store and it is quite slow. Cell service is around 1 bar of LTE (per Verizon, AT&T, and TMobile as our party had those three carriers). So NOT a place to stream movies or work unless you have a hotspot. All in all, we will definitely come back now that we know the (few) drawbacks and how to mitigate them.

This was very unique with 100 bunnies residing on the premises! It was fun to watch them! The views of the water and land were nice and we enjoyed looking at the waterfalls as well.

We love this campground! It is our first trip every year since the pool is open early. The hot tubs could have been cleaner, but overall a great relaxing stay and we were fortunate to have great weather!

It was quiet, easy and easy out love the rabbits

This was an excellent site to stay at. Making it even better were Cody and Benita. Highly recommend this beautiful location.

Our second time staying here and will definitely be coming back next year!! Everything they did for this kids for Halloween was awesome and I loved that they had church Sunday morning ♥️ my new favorite campground!!

We had never been to this campground and wanted to see fall in the mountains. Online stated large sites, WiFi, cable, and full hookups. Upon arrival our site had both a tree and a transformer so close that you couldn’t open slides, sites were small and we couldn’t even park our truck on our own site. No other full hookup sites available, WiFi nor cable worked at the site we were assigned to, plus 1000s of rabbits free range that made having our dog with us difficult. Camp clearly showed a lack of regular maintenance as water poles were bent over, electric boxes with wires hanging, definitely will not return.

Great stay. Friendly staff. Beautiful landscape

Camp Sardine, you mean. Poor cell service, no Wifi and a water outage to boot. What a ripoff. I'd camp anywhere else first.

Very friendly, helpful stafff! Camper was amazing my Wife daughter and I really enjoyed our weekend there! We will definitely be coming back!

Very small sites. Cramped. Nice though.

Friendly staff, easy moving throughout the campsite, and a lovely Autumn way point. This is a wonderful camping resort, far more than just an RV campground. We really enjoyed the stay.
