You can see everyone and everything going on around you even though there are short fences between some sites. In fact, 2 camping neighbors kept coming into our site to get branches off the ground for firewood; very annoying. The bathrooms have a shower and toilet but no shelving to put your things, although there are two hooks to hang items. It's very dank and the faucets leak. Everything needs updating. They remind me of stalls to wash animals. I wouldn't advise going barefoot in the bathroom or shower.

If you plan to have a good time listening to music with friends after a long day floating the river…read moreI would NOT recommend you stay here. The taunting, intimidation with K9 force, threatened entrapment and arrest was enough to NEVER come back!!! 11mins past "quiet" hour (10PM) a demand, from unidentified individuals holding the reins of a German Shepard, to turn the music off came from the dark. Which warranted a simple response from the family being asked "I'll turn it down, but not off." Two minutes later, the individuals identify themselves as the owners while on the phone with the Sheriffs department requesting they escort this family off premise. All knowing the compromising position that would put this family in. I question the integrity of any small business owners who put their patrons in immediate danger as they did that evening Our incident was unwarranted and unprofessional! If all rules were enforced in the manner that was exemplified that night, NO ONE would be allowed on premise. I'll list the few rules breached during our stay; rowdy group loud until 3am, dogs off leash, generators being used, underage drinking & lastly underage children working... I would HIGHLY recommend you stay elsewhere, for the safety of you, your family & friends!

Every site had a bear proof box to store food and coolers in, and the site we were on was pretty private with dense vegetation on 3 sides.

Even better was that we only saw a handful of other people on the hike!

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.

Tubing Review: We had an amazing time. Was is exhausting,…read moreyes. Worth it, yes! Owen was great. He was a great driving the stick shift bus back to the outfitters. It was nice being dropped off and picked up. We did have issues with our card online, but when I called in to book, Nancy was helpful. She got us all situated and sent an email to confirm. We filled out waivers online which was a breeze. We watched a quick safety video, picked up our lifevest and were on our way. The water was the perfect temp, and it was clear. Tips: bring snacks and water. You are out there 4-5 or longer hours. Especially if the water is low, which ours was. We used a waterproof bag and had no issues. We used a tube with a cup holder which was nice. I wore my life vest out of precaution even though I can swim, plus it made it comfortable for my to use it as a neck rest. I've noticed people mention in previous reviews that the bus was dirty ect. Um, you're in the woods. If you get picked up after many other groups the bus will be dirty as everyone is wet coming out of the water no matter what activity you choose. I would not own a brand spanking new vehicle for this type of environment and job. Used is best and saves money I'm sure. Wear a hat and sunglasses, put in that sunscreen. Bring a waterproof phone case/bag. You will have no service out there so put it on airplane mode and use it as a camera.

The wolf Gap Recreation Area is a Hidden Gem located only a short drive from Woodstock Virginia on…read morethe I-81 corridor. It's basically right on the border between Virginia and West Virginia. 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.

Skyland is our favorite place to stay in the Shenandoah. It's centrally located and some of the…read morerenovated motel style rooms are much nicer than they used to be. 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.

When in Shenandoah - go to the caverns!…read more Skyline Caverns is a must-visit if you're in the area and have the time. My boyfriend and I just walked in and there's basically a tour around every 45 minutes so fear not, if you have some time to kill their gift shop is enormous. Everything from sweet treats, apparel, stones, little trinkets to chess sets. Truly something for everyone. Once they announced our time we headed on over and met with our tour guide. It was very fun overall. I do recommend wearing sneakers, it's not an incredibly long walk but some parts of the ground were rocky. It's an incredible sight and everything is really detailed and explained. I loved the whole tour. You can take pictures of everything and I sure took advantage. My boyfriend got very into the tour and I can imagine everyone does. Very well thought out and rehearsed - these tour guides do a great job. I do have to mention because I think it's hilarious, as a woman if you go in with straight hair and you have a natural curl - prepare for it to curl. My hair was a fuzzball by the time I got out because the moisture in the caves is so high hahaha, just a warning! Still go though - it's a fun experience and a beautiful one too.
