We rent different campers. Yes they are old and not great. But we love coming here. We come every year. We love playing in the river and watching the waterfall. Several playgrounds. The bunnies are so much fun.

Rude and dirty! Restrooms are Not well kept, sites are not level or even close to being level, just rocks and dirt. overall, poorly maintained.

We rented a camper for 4 days. The grounds and facilities are really nice for it's age. Staff is friendly. The camper we stayed in was very used. Floor was soft, cabinet door broken, screen door broken, some lights not working. Other than the camper itself we had a good time. Camper was not worth the price we paid per night.

Our site

Spent a weekend here with the family (+dog) in May 2021, we had a great time! I did not give it 5 stars because the sites were close together and tight (we have a 23' travel trailer and GMC Sierra) and there weren't many places to hike around. Other then that I highly recommend this campground. Great weather, pool was amazing and kids really enjoyed the playgrounds and bunnies! Bathrooms were well kept and we had ice cream from the general store, delicious!

Best camping ever!!

This is the second year we came back for my younger son's birthday (he is 6 now) I love this park because is: 1.- Not expensive 2.- River and waterfall are incredible. Water is cold even when is 100 degrees. 3.- Staff are always friendly. 4.- Showers and restrooms are always well maintained and clean. 5.- Alcohol is permitted but you can't make noise after the curfew of 11 PM (and they reinforce this) 6.- Pool is OK, but the hot tubs are great!!! 7.- We watched the world soccer cup games in the Gameroom. 8.- Camp sites are big enough for 2 tents and 2 cars. 9.- Picnic table and a fire pit are a plus, but no grill at all, bring yours... Definitely a family oriented campground. If you don't like kids, don't bother coming here and rent yourself a cabin in the middle of nowhere. But if you like kids, like us, it's perfect, hear them yell and laugh when they ride their bikes and swing in the river, or when they are roasting marshmallows by the fire... that is priceless. I will gave them 5 stars but I was shut off at 11 PM, I was too noisy but that is me. I will definitively be coming back next year, but this time I will take camp sites F11 and F12 so nobody complaint about my loud laughing...

Queen bed- more comfortable than you would think! RU #2

Cabin was really small with very little storage and beds were hard. It was fun for a weekend, but I prefer the solitude of a private cabin.

We were here for a week. Beautiful location! Conveniently off 81 and close to several caverns, the…read moreVA Civil War Museum, and Shennendoah National Park. Our site was large, shaded and best of all level. No leveling blocks needed. Sites are gravel, clean and well maintained. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful! Well stocked store, and they will make and deliver pizza right to your campsite. Typical KOA amenities, and they have a stocked catch and release pond on site for those who love to fish. Lots of activities for the kiddos, too. The road in is a little hilly and several curves, but big rigs shouldn't have any trouble navigating it - the signage on the road is great (funny sign on the road that said "1/2 miles Don't Give Up." Lol). We're more "state park people" in that we enjoy the space and solitude and we don't have kids traveling with us (just dogs), so we don't typically need all the on-site activities. But this week we needed full hook ups, and this park gave us that feel. With so much to do in the area, we didn't get to it all, so we'll be back and we'll definitely stay here again.

It is better to get there by day. It is off the road a bit. You have to park at a stop sign and…read morewalk up a hill to reach the office to check in. The dog park is very small. Lots of larger gravel. The only lighting after dark they had was some that came on as I walked by them attached to trees. We were surrounded by forest so it was kind of scary being out there at 9 in the pitch black. There are lots of weeds that give the dogs briars in their feet. They have a trail you can go on that was nice but after 20mins my dog was ready to turn around. I never found out where that would have taken me lol. That was really the safest bet for walking him. There is many large rocks there. There isn't much grass. The pond is tiny.

We went canoeing today and had a wonderful experience! We got there a bit early (9:20) but they…read moreopened right on time at 9:30 for us to pick up our canoes. The drive over to the start of our day trip was pleasant in an air conditioned van and the guide driving us pointed out baby deer and an eagle's nest which was awesome. The canoeing day itself was beautiful and the trip was just the right length for us. There were four adults in our group-- I think with kids you would want to ask for a closer drop off point because it was a LOT of paddling. The canoes were nice and they helped us carry them down to the launch point and gave us a run down of the rapids we would pass which was helpful to avoid overly shallow or rocky areas. We were the only ones canoeing that day which was so nice! I would love to do this again in the fall when the leaves are changing!

There is ample shade so during the hot summer months, you're sheltered from the sun. We camped right on the water at Campsite 6 hearing the river as we slept. We could have camped up a bit as the site is large. We could swim from the site. Floating down the James River rafting was super beautiful and relaxing. Any age can do this really. Water was low but still fun.

This was my family's second time staying at Crabtree Falls Campground. The owner, AJ, is super…read morefriendly, responsive, and helpful in reserving by phone and email. We stayed at campsites 30, 31, and 32, which are at one end of the campground and feel more secluded, farther away from the other campsites. This means your car is not right next to your site, but we didn't mind walking back and forth (slightly uphill, along a path); we recently bought a collapsible utility wagon that was super helpful in carrying big things to and from the site. The sites sit higher above the river, so it's a bit steep if you want to go down and enjoy the water, but you can do so carefully and it's well worth it. You will love sitting by your fire, listening to the rushing river and feeling like you're in the middle of nowhere, even though many luxuries like flush toilets, hot showers, and even a camp store are just steps away. No need to bring ice or firewood; the camp provides them at an added reasonable cost (but bring an axe to help break up the logs in case the wood is damp or fresh). Bring a grill-top for the firepit if you plan to cook. Keep in mind that the campsites are not very large; ask AJ when you book if your tent will fit. There's plenty to do in the area: Hike Crabtree Falls, taste beers at Devil's Backbone or Blue Mountain Breweries, enjoy ciders at Bold Rock, and next time we'll try the distilleries. Crabtree Falls is definitely my favorite campground in all of Virginia!

My husband & I have been staying here since our first anniversary in 2015. It's so quiet and the…read moreowners AJ (& Sue this time around) are so incredibly nice! We always stay in the cabins (which is dog friendly) and they are always clean and super cozy. We have only stayed during the fall since there is no A/C but I can tell you that during the cooler nights the base board heat keeps you very warm. The constant sound of the creek right outside your window is soothing and a great change from a busy life. There is absolutely NO cell service so be prepared for that. Some super sweet camp cats! We will be back for many many years to come! Thanks AJ and Family!!

We had an outstanding stay at Endless Caverns Resort. The campsites were spacious, quiet, and…read morewell-maintained, and all of the hookups worked perfectly. Having full sewer hookups at the site was a real luxury and definitely spoiled us. The resort provided bathhouses are older but clean. The back in spaces are deep and you'll have plenty of room. One of the highlights was the hiking. The trails are excellent, and the view from the top of the hill is absolutely worth the walk. The scenery and peaceful atmosphere made for a great camping experience. There are a couple of things to be aware of. First, Wi-Fi is limited. There is a location on the property where you can connect, but it isn't available throughout the campground. We relied on a personal hotspot, which worked from marginal to okay depending on the time and location. If you need a reliable internet connection for work or streaming, plan accordingly. Second, the catch-and-release pond was underwhelming. Casual anglers or families with kids may enjoy it, but serious fishermen will probably find it a waste of time. Neither of those issues was enough to take away from what was otherwise an excellent experience. The spacious sites, peaceful setting, great hiking, and full hookups made this one of our favorite camping trips. We'd gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing campground in the Shenandoah Valley. Overall: 5/5 stars.

There are few places in the world that can elicit a feeling of pure joy, nervousness and excitement…read moreas much as the Appalachian Trail. A few years back I read "A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail" by Bill Bryson (Fantastic BTW) and that's when A.T. fever hit me. I've done some hiking before... nothing like I experienced here though. Nothing at all. There are so many different feelings that coursed through me during my 2 week hike... days when I had the energy and drive to do 15+ miles, days when I'd leisurely hike about 8 miles and stopping at every vista, meadow or creek I could find to relax, nap or take some pictures. And then there were days where just putting on the hiking pack was a challenge, days that I just wanted to stay in my tent or in the shelter (3 days of straight rain will do that to ya). On to the good stuff though, you're looking at this to plan your own adventure not hear mine. Here's some good need to know stuff for you. Gear - I'll mention it, but you won't listen to the advice (I didn't either). Pack LIGHT! There was nothing worse than the extra weight of stuff I could've lived without. Examples: Cans of soup - good treat, but super heavy. Extra Clothes - you only need one extra T-Shirt and pair of pants. Underwear is more important, especially socks... bring extra socks. Warm dry feet are happy feet. Large Roll of Duct Tape - it's a lifesaver for sure, but it's heavy. I only used about 10-12 feet of it (tent, poncho and hiking pack repair), bring a small roll instead. Extra Rain Jacket - WHY? one poncho was all I needed. Oh, and if you were in the military like me.. DON'T use your issued Rucksack as a hiking pack... Yes, it's got nice compartments and comfy padding, but they're WAY too heavy and you can use that extra weight for more food/water. A lot of folks I bumped into were using Osprey Packs, just a suggestion. Drop-off / Parking - If you're only planning on doing a day hike or an over nighter, there is a small parking lot near the trailhead. Park, cross the bridge and walk about a quarter mile, the trailhead will be on your right side and marked by the standard White Blaze of the A.T. Blazes - The main color to follow is White, Blue blazes that spur off the A.T. go to Springs and/or Shelters. Blue blazes can be a fun side trip, check your map for the following: Jones Run & Doyle's Run - beautiful Waterfalls Ivy Creek - nice place to camp Water - When you see a spring or stream replenish your water supply. I know that it's heavy especially a few days into the hike, but take it from me... you don't want to run out. Another pointer - you should either boil or filter your water. I didn't do either on a few occasions and was just fine though... up to you. Waysides - First one you'll run across is Loft Mountain. Get a hot meal, some pop (soda) and recharge any electrical devices there. There is a Camp Store to resupply as well but it's not in the same building. Camp Store opens in Mid-May usually. The next one is Big Meadows - They have EVERYTHING there. Fire/Backwoods Camping - No open fires except at the shelters. Backwoods Camping (between shelters) is awesome, just make sure to pitch your tent so that it disturbs as little vegetation as possible and follow the "Leave No Trace" ethics please. Terrain - The terrain throughout the Shenandoah National Park section varies quite a bit, everything from easy paths through the woods to mountain paths that will seriously test your mettle. According to most thru-hikers, the S.N.P. section is the "easiest" as for as terrain... I'd hate to see the hardest. If your feet/ankles need a break from the trail; one good thing is that the A.T. crosses Skyline Drive several times, if you want a break from the trail you can walk on the blacktop for a while. Wild Animals - Keep a lookout for the Shenandoah Salamander - http://www.nps.gov/shen/naturescience/shenandoah_salamander.htm and Red Eft's they're pretty neat. I saw a couple Black Bears on the trail, they pretty much left me alone, just make sure to hang your food at night so they don't get to it. (10 ft up, 20+ yds from camp). There is A LOT of Deer in the park, you'll see plenty if you keep an eye out. Coyotes are what to watch out for, especially if hiking at night. My dog made me WELL aware if they were ever near. Most got skittish and ran after Rella barked, not all. We had one incident with a small male coyote that came at us, Rella ummm 'took care of it' I'll leave it at that. Guess those are all the big pointers I can pass along. I had a really great time on this section of A.T. and would highly recommend any avid hiker or outdoorsy folk to check it out. Even if it's only for a day-hike or weekend camping trip, it's well worth it.

Sorry for the 1-star (you may change my "review" to 5-star when this is fixed). Often referred to…read moreas "Afton Mountain," Rockfish Gap is not in Bedford, VA. This is the intersection of the Appalachian Trail (abt mp 863.5), Blue Ridge Parkway, Skyline Drive, I-64 exit 99 (I think), and US Rt 250. To the west is Waynesboro, Stuarts Draft, and Staunton. To the east is Afton, Crozet, and Charlottesville. How do I know? The gap is about 2 miles out my back window. Not much commerce at rhe gap itself, except the wonderful old-time "King's Gourmet Popcorn" stand which has much more than popcorn. There is a motel and a couple of B&Bs a mile or so West on Rt. 250 near the Western edit of the famous Blue Ridge Tunnel (check it out on YouTube), which then pops you out in the village of Afton on the east side of the Blue Ridge. A longer walk back to the Gap, but adequate parking is at either terminus. Afton is in an area rich with wineries, distilleries, and breweries. Blee BleesRockfishRetreat.com
