They are so inviting to everyone and seem to really care about making sure your stay is as good as it could be. And it's all a great value. The sites are close and not very private. The people next to us had rented two sites next to each other and were being extremely loud during the day which kinda sucked because we came to relax, but that is no fault of the campgrounds. We've had two different spots on the river and it is amazing to wake up to the sound of a flowing river in the morning. Port a Johns are the only bathrooms in the campground area, but in the main building, a short few minute walk away, there are four bathrooms with toilets and full warm showers. They are kinda dirty but it's camping and to have a hot shower was amazing no matter how dirty they were. I was just happy they were there at all. You can rent tubes from them to float the river and they give you a ride a couple miles down the river and drop you off to float and you can float right back up to you campsite when you reach the campgrounds! It's amazing! Make sure you check the river levels before going so you can have a smooth float. If the river is too low, you'll scrape your bum on rocks but it's still fun none the less! My go to. Can't wait to go again.

We stayed for a week and although there were several small kids, noise level was minimal during the day and nonexistent after 9 pm. The camp host worked endlessly to keep the grounds free of trash/leaves on the main roadways and walking paths. There was a sheriff's vehicle that drove through periodically which was an added security. There are a variety of walking trails from easy to more advanced adventures. Sites are $10 off season and $20 for in season. They do have bath houses open for in season campers and several bathrooms that are well kept all year long.

In the summer the creek is a fun place to swim and there is lots of history in the park go explore and have fun.

Features of small parking area, for about 20 cars. As well there are tent pad sites that are nicely leveled and each site has a picnic table. There is also a restroom. The one drawback is the lack of water, since the pump has been broken for some time. I've also heard rumors that the water was contaminated. For hiking in the local area this is a great jump off spot. You can go south to tibbet Knob, or North up to Big Schloss. If you have 3 or 4 days to kill, you can do the circumnavigation of the entire Trout Run Valley. That way you will get to see Mill Mountain, North Mountain and half moon Mountain. It's one of the best hikes in the Mid-Atlantic region with lots of great camping and and places to get fresh water.

One of our favorite parts is the community aspect - there is a communal fire pit that is lit every night, there are 4 gas grills for cooking, and we always enjoy hanging out and chatting with other guests. It is a warm and fun atmosphere. Colette is a gracious and welcoming host - she's always around and checking on everyone, asking if we need extra blankets or towels etc. Even though they're tents, they are clean! The bedding and towels are soft and smell amazing. There is a central bath house that is clean and has nice showers. Get a tent with a private hot tub if you can - it is worth it! Highly recommend.

Our adult family of four stayed for six days, and it was a little tight but far from uncomfortable. We played horseshoes in the yard, ate s'mores, did some awesome hiking behind the house, which happens to be right on the edge of the national park (beware the nettles and getting lost), canoeing, the Luray Caverns, hiking in the national park, local dining, and we spent a ton of time in the hot-tub.

Clean enough for park lodges, firm beds and decent quality bedding. This time we stayed in a premium room with two doubles in the pinnacle building right next to the office and the restaurant so very convenient for breakfast. It's west facing so you get the sunset. Room's a good size with a closet/luggage area outside the bathroom, wood flooring, fridge, a small table with two chairs, and there are also two patio chairs outside the door (upper floor has better view on the balcony - ground floor has a grassy lawn area in front). Aircon doesn't seem to be working but room feels pretty cool with the ceiling fan on. WiFi is pretty much nonexistent - it only seems to work in the office where there is a seating area or maybe the dining room. This time also tried the closest trail - Stony Man - a short walk from the lodge. Not sure why it took us so many visit to hike on this trail - it's a short walk (just an easy 1.6 mile circuit) to the summit with fantastic view of the valley and enough space on the rock outcropping to sit on to enjoy the view.

We were looking for a smaller place for a first time skier that wouldn't need many harder trails. We booked everything for the weekend online. The process was easy and made it easy and quick to get tickets and rentals that we already paid for. I think they do charge an additional fee if you didn't prepay. The first night we arrived we did the snow tubing. It was a fun time. You need to get a tube at the bottom of the hill. Then there is a belt you stand on that will bring you to the top. You pay for and hour and a half that seems like a long time but it went quick because it was fun. We did a snowboarding lesson in the am and then spent some time skiing. We rented a board and changed to skis and it was a $15 fee to change. There is a cafeteria type area to eat. I did read another review that said people just dump their bags in chairs to save them. So that is what we did. We saved half a table for us then shared the other half. When lunch time came the tables filled up fast. Most kids would just sit in the floor if they needed. For a small mountain it was a great time. They had everything you need. We stayed at Chalet resort that was a 3 minute drive.

The only reason for the 4/5 is the resort allows hikers to take the ski lift which slows down the lift. Also, we rented bikes and safety gear. The Trek model bike rental was amazing. We were able to try a Trek Session and Trek Slash, both were fairly new models and in well condition. However, the Session had some excessive wearing on the tire outer tread, appeared cracked. We were so focused on having fun that we didn't bring it back to address that. I will say the more shocking thing was the safety gear which seemed extremely worn. Granted we got there late the only upper chest gear they had was shredded (arm sleeves had so many holes it looked the last person had a bear attack in it :-D ). Nonetheless, we had a lot of fun.
