FCFS. I stayed just one night - 10/13/23. The drive to this campground is beautiful (especially with fall colors). When I arrived at about 3:30 pm, about half of the sites were taken. The sites are large, with lots of space in between many of them. I did not use the facilities, so I cannot comment. The atmosphere is very quiet and peaceful. There was little traffic on the road. No cell service in the campground, but I was able to get enough coverage to send a text by driving down the road a little bit (across from the day use area, there is a little parking lot on the hillside that worked for me).

Didn’t book… it’s first come first served except for group campground. Sites were spotless and level. Facilities clean. Space between sites. AT&T hardly any coverage.

Camped here after being in Shenandoah National park all day. Primitive but excellent sites. No dump station open yet. Also no facilities yet for year. Had a great time! Very quiet. Mostly campers there for fishing the stocked creeks. Great price on honor system.

Beautiful gem! The perfect way to disconnect as there is no cell or wifi available. The campsites are spacious and a mix of tent and rv sites. There were a couple of larger rigs there but better suited for smaller ones. Met some very nice people and the camp host is very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. We are definitely coming back!

First come, first served was no problem in early December. No other trailers or RVs over the weekend (only a couple tenters braving the weather). Many of the sites are for tents only. Many of the RV compatible sites have the wrong entry angle if you follow the arrows/signs. In winter, no water or dump station but lots of peace & quiet.

FIRST, I'm giving a word of advice to anyone with a larger rig. We have a 40 ft. 5th wheel, and small campgrounds can present some real problems.

FIRST, I'm giving a word of advice to anyone with a larger rig. We have a 40 ft. 5th wheel, and small campgrounds can present some real problems. You should enter the campground TO THE RIGHT (against the direction of the arrow). The sign in place if in front, and you go straight to it, so walk back and do that. But, the angles of the sites are really pointed in the wrong direction to back into your site. Someone else had written that the sites were "backwards", and they were right...or the arrows are backwards.
Since we have a America the Beautiful Pass, the winter rate of 10. / day was 5./ day. Despite the cold and rain, as well as the showers/restrooms being closed, there were still campers there in smaller rigs and tents. The vault toilets were operating. The campground host, Steve King, is a really great person and directed us as to where we could get repairs done (locally) to our truck and RV. He and other rangers keep an eye on things fairly regularly so you feel pretty secure. There is a great trail system in and around this campground. I took my dog for walks on these trails. The ones around the furnace have historical information all along the trails. There are some larger sites, but, if you need one, you are better served to check them out first.
The vault toilets are clean and stocked. But, I think the campground may close for the winter on December 1.

We came here on Thursday at about 9 pm and were able to find an RV spot without problem. It’s very clean and quiet. Has sanitation station. No WiFi, no cell signal for T-Moble. Creek is very nice for kids to swim.

Beautiful, small campground an hour west of DC near the intersection of I-66 and I-81. No cell (T-Mobile), no TV via antenna.
When we visited on a Thursday in November, the park was unattended and check-in was on a typical USFS honor system. The bathhouse and dump station had been closed for winterization on October 19, so the normal rate of $16 per night was reduced to $10 a night. This is important if you are expecting to be able to dump your tanks after mid October. Plan ahead. Pit vault toilets remained open.
The largest site in the park was #16 - a pull-in. I wouldn't expect a rig much larger than 36' would be able to fit anywhere in the park. Site 10 would be the second best alternative for larger rigs. The canyon access road is a white-knuckler too. The speed bumps in the park are a KILLER for MHs.
There are some great hikes and historical sites near the park and the gorgeous Passage Creek runs through it. It is a popular place on summer weekends, so be sure to plan a visit on the fall or spring if you can. No reservations: first come, first serve.
We will be back!
