@MichelleN16114 · Camped on Sep 7, 2024 at Campsite #A60

Great spot that feels semi hidden. The only neighbor I could see was across from me. I could slightly see the site to my left but the trees mostly blocked them. The site is mostly shaded with just enough of ann opening to see the stars at night. Great to have a bear locker for extra safety measures. Check in was a breeze and I loved chatting with the park rangers. The Traces Trail around the campground is a nice and easy hike.

@EricaG3401D416 · Camped on Sep 7, 2024 at Campsite #B129

The campground was east to find and so very clean. There was a good amount of people, but it wasnt loud and everybody was very respectful.

@bobb2528793 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #A39

The facilities were clean and the camp host was friendly and helpful. The limited nearby easy trails was a disappointment, but overall, it was a good experience.Dining at the lodge was expensive and the food quality was poor.

@JanelleS687174 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #C153

Great hikes and views. Terrible campground.

@BradyS0322328B · Camped on Aug 29, 2024 at Campsite #A67

First time in North end of the park. Very nice area with good hiking trails.

@AndrewB2067797 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #C163

Quiet and nice campground. Lovely place to start a trip south on Skyline!

@AndrewK5708668 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #A9

Good camping spot - very busy, but it still had the seclusion I was looking for.

@DevinL75E5AF06 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #A46

Campground was very nice. Some of the spots are very small and open. Staff helped us move spots with no issue.

@TimothyB926333 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #B117

The rangers at the check-in station were extremely helpful in getting me to my site quickly and recommending some nearby hikes based on the time of day. The site was easy to access and had adequate space and lots of bathrooms and water close by. Great stay!

@EdwardT1368517 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #A10

Great camping over weekend, campground surprisingly not full on Friday night, very full on Saturday night. Lots of good hiking in the area. Our site was not close to level so we had to move to another site. Fortunately the rangers were very helpful to make this happen.

@IsabelleS45690 · Camped on Aug 17, 2024 at Campsite #B134

Well maintained campground. Site was very close to neighboring sites with no privacy between. Would choose a different campsite in this campground in the future.

@KennethW7A35BA · Camped on Aug 10, 2024 at Campsite #A51

Shenandoah has beautiful campgrounds and this one is no exception. When they get fully booked, they are packed though, something to keep in mind nowadays. Not finding solitude even if the weather is terrible. This was the best stay out of the past 4 for noise, so at least that was reasonable and folks minded the quiet hours.

@MuhammadACFCDB · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #A42

It was a great experience at the campground. There are little trails around the campground where you can go in the evening/morning.

@DauneO5ECEBE6D · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #A68

Bring ear plugs for the noisy crowds who dont abide quiet hours.

@SteveM7756642 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #B135

I was there mid July. Very much cooler than in the lower lands. Plenty of wildlife, and lush green forest.

@Shahamat3FDD57 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #A24

The tent site was separated and accessing that was inconvenient for some of my friends.

@KateR5AE31A790 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #A24

Great campground! It was my first time staying here, and I loved the fact that the sites are more primitive and private than some of the other campgrounds in the park. I really enjoyed the Overall Run Falls hike that stems off of Matthews Arm as well. Definitely recommend this campground.

@MadhavS3F2AB07 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #B118

We went to Big Meadows this time, as Mathew Arm was closed for the weekend for maintenance,We enjoyed lots - thank you for the service!!

@LucL2182920 · Camped on May 18, 2024 at Campsite #B125

Quiet place and fantastic setup

@scotts8955128 · Camped on Oct 28, 2023 at Campsite #A2

Nice enough campground although spaces are close together. We were in space A02 which is one of the four-day release spots, and the advantage is that it's the first spot in the park and, therefore, has no sight lines with any other campers on the passenger side of your vehicle. The low rating is due to the rangers' unwillingness to set reasonable ground rules. The camper across from us decided to show a Disney movie on a large screen (10 ft across) with speakers to their five kids. It was ridiculous. If you don't want to take your kids camping, don't take your kids camping. Ranger had zero interest in it.

@ErikaGFD67C26D · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #B136

Great campground with lots of shade trees. Good sites with plenty of space. Store 2 miles away for supplies and firewood. Convenient Trail around the campground, so you can get a little walk in the woods without a drive.

@LaurenP3544401 · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #A67

The campsites were great and I loved the trails nearby. The bathrooms were fairly clean and it was nice to have running water. They never had soap though and the toilet paper ran out. There were also some groups that didnt observe quiet hours. Overall pretty good experience though.

@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #A42

I stayed at the following:A042 Generator Prohibited, A - 14 Day Advance PurchaseMATHEWS ARM CAMPGROUNDShenandoah National ParkThe spot easily fit my 23.5' Thor Compass with slide. It was a pull through and the blacktop was level. The only negative is that they do not allow a generator on this spot (which I knew a head of time). It is the first spot in a section that does not allow generators as all the spots next to it on one side to allow it.

@RhondaT2582626 · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #B120

Clean and Peaceful.

@KrisG2032270 · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #A34

Clean and convenient. This site was near the generator-free area which allowed for a nice, quiet morning. The only flat spot at my campsite that I found to put my tent was on the gravel pad in front of the fire pit. Would have liked to have a flat spot on the grass and more room in front of the fire ring and picnic table.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
