This KOA was disappointing to us. It is near Rt 81, just north of Harrisonburg, VA. It is 3 ½ miles from the highway on narrow, very winding country roads. The road into and throughout the park are all gravel. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. I asked for a site with full hookups and could get a satellite signal. We did get satellite reception on site # 60. But, I doubt there are many other sites that could, as the park is very wooded. Some RVers will enjoy the trees, but we’re full timing and like our satellite. Go figure. There is a store at the reception desk that seems to have a variety of basic supplies. We saw the pool by check in. It looked nice, but was covered as out stay was in October. Getting to our site was a challenge due to the narrow roads in the park. We have a 40’ 5th wheel and just made a couple of turns. They were removing trees when we were there, so maybe that will get better. I did talk to the new owner and she mentioned they were making improvements to the parks. They are trying to convert an old family owned park into a KOA. Still disappointing for a KOA. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The pull through site was easy to get into and had plenty of room. The 50 amp power was weak and fluctuated to <105 vac on occasion. Quiet time was not enforced! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

An actually campground, not a park or resort. Roads were gravel, sites were wooded and shaded. Fire rings were nice size stones. Reminded me of when I was a kid. They had a inflatable movie screen, and a hay ride. As for previous comments about the road from I-81 into the sight, I found no issue, I have driven tractor trailers on smaller less visible roads. Yes there was sharp turns, but they were wide enough to swing any RV ever built and you could see oncoming traffic easily. Getting around the camp ground itself would require a little attention and care, but if the site would hold the unit you could get it in. The Wi-Fi would work fine and then go out, not sure if it was just the amount of people using it or their ISP. It worked well enough for my needs. My only issue was the layout of some of the sites was confusing, some sites faced awning to awning which depending on your neighbor could be an issue. the hookups for ours was at the front of the site, but we could reach, depending on your RV it could be an issue. We will surely go again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a wonderful campground at the foot of Massanutten Mountain. Almost every site was shaded and the sites are large and fairly level. The new owners are wonderful, and take an active role in making this a great place to stay. Staff was friendly and helpful, and everything was very well maintained and clean. Lots to do with miniature golf, fishing, swimming, table tennis, pool table, basketball, etc. Be sure to hike the 2 mile trail, it goes to the top of the mountain and is well worth the hike for the beautiful views of the valley. As noted, the access road is winding, but it's worth it to get to this wonderful place, and we had no problem. I saw many bigger rigs come and go with no problem. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great campground. Efficiently run operation. Owner enforces rules for the enjoyment of all campers. Road leading to campground is winding and narrow, but large rigs where navigating fine. Sites are shaded and that means trees but we had no problems. WIFI was intermitted but free. Did not take advantage of planned activities but they were provided. New putt-putt course and nice fishing pond. Great base camp for local caverns and close access to JMU. VERY impressed with owners level of involvement. We would definitely camp here again.

This park is in a beautiful part of Va - It is very well kept, the staff is great, and the only downside is TV and Sat reception is not that good. Putting cable in here would cost a bundle, but with everything else this place has going for it, you really don't have time to watch TV anyway. We came here with a 40' motorhome towing, and when I asked the person escorting us to our site if we would have a problem he replied with "If you don't have enough room, I can let you know where the nearest WalMart parking lot is" He was right -our site was at least 75' long pull through, and we had no problem getting into it. If you can't drive the roads in this campground, you should probably surrender your license, as you could possibly propose a threat to those of us that know how to drive. We are not big fans of most KOA's, but this one is a keeper - we will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Big Rig Friendly is a stretch; big rig capable is more like it. The roads to the park are not made for 40's with tows. The trees to the sites make it hard; keep a look in your mirrors to keep from side swiping them. Staff was great. Park is nice. I won't be back because I was not comfortable with the tight squeezes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice campground in the foothills. No cable, and only got 1 channel with antenna. Satellite worked, but probably would not pick anything up when trees are leafed out. The staff is really friendly and helpful. Campground must be under new management/ownership as the name has been changed. However, new owners/managers are working hard on upgrading park. Bathrooms are fabulous and look like they've been recently remodeled. They are also laying new gravel and leveling sites. One word of warning. Do not drive the winding country road to this park in the dark if you have a big rig. There are some sharp curves and you need to be able to see clearly to negotiate. But the drive is nice. Park is dark at night and very quiet. We'd definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has new owners (the old owner is still there helping out) who appear to be very guest oriented and helpful. The park is well kept up and clean, the staff friendly and helpful. Our granddaughter really enjoyed the hayride and penny hunt. The park is a little tight and some sites are a little uneven but not bad considering this part of the country is very hilly. A nice park close to our home, we will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Far enough from I-81 that you do not hear any highway noise. The staff was very friendly and kept the park up nicely. As stated before, the WiFi was iffy. We enjoyed an Ice Cream social one night and a pancake breakfast another morning. Our site was #18 and was a very roomy pull through. They definitely need to consider adding cable TV, however we were able to get a satellite signal at our site. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is pleasant for a KOA. The staff is absolutely wonderful and very helpful! The roads seem to get some mixed reviews, but with any experience in driving/towing a big rig the arrival and exit is managable; we managed with a 40ft 5ver. Upon entry you will be greeted with an escort to your site, and any help if need. Overall this place is very clean and quiet with wonderful views of the mountain sides and Shenandoah Country. This campground could be a 9 or even a ten with cable, better WiFi, game room, and overall updating to facilities. The WiFi is advertised as free but is sporatic at best and not reliable at all. We would visit again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice campground. About 3.5 miles off I-81 and the roads are pretty narrow and winding getting there. Nice wooded sites with a fire ring and picnic table. The bathrooms were clean and the store was pretty well stocked. There is no cable and we could only get one channel on the TV. The interior roads are in good shape, but they are tight.

We stayed 2 weeks at this campground. We are full-time RVers and I still work using internet and phone. This is an exceptional campground for "campers" in that it was in a beautiful location with great access to National Forest, stream, etc. As for a full-timer in a bigger rig, though, it was difficult. The sites were not level (we found one we could level on our 4th try). The "Wi-Fi" was horrible--it is the older service that has decent download but extremely slow upload. The cell phone reception (AT&T) was terrible. There was no cable TV and only a few stations accessible by antenna--satellite was no good because of the trees. It was difficult maneuvering my 38-foot motor home inside the park (but possible). As I said, an awesome campground when your goal is to "get away". We camped here in a Motorhome.

Interesting drive from the interstate as you get to go though all sorts of hills and curves on a narrow 2 lane road. The internal roads in the campground were pretty dusty as we had a good layer of dust on the toad. The check-in process was fast and had a escort to the site. The site was unlevel and had trouble raising the rear of the coach enough so the wheels would still be on the ground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We found this park from the highway while travelling south after being delayed in a snowstorm. We checked in after hours but we were pleasantly surprised. We drove onto the site and was immediately level. The showers and laundry were very clean and warm (essential for the cold weather of the season). We were very happy with our stay, albeit short, and would definitely stay there again if we find ourselves travelling through the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this campground for two nights. The sites are very small and the trees, shrubs etc are all overgrown. This office staff seemed unaware of the system of scheduling or checking. The sites were also not at all level. We would never stay at this campground again. Just a typical KOA. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a great time at our last camping trip in Harrisonburg / New Market KOA near Luray. Very nice camp ground, small sites great for a pop-up and tent’s, quite at night, very clean bathrooms. Nice people that ran the camp ground, they even showed us to our site. We stayed at site #11. This camp ground would be a great place to camp with friends for the weekend. Going to Luray Caverns was a great time and very close. We will be going again to this KOA. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Quiet weekday - noisy Friday night thru Sunday. Local party park for weekenders - but all were friendly and only having fun. Amazing bathroom/shower facilities. I mean really well done. But closed noon - 2pm daily for cleaning (go figure). Owner was driving around the campground constantly on a 4-wheeler which was sort of annoying noise-wise. Sites were nice and shady, lots of pull-thrus, somewhat close together for a campground of this type. Pool was clean but small for the number of users. This campground served us well as being central to the New Market battleground, Luray Caverns (and others) and the Shenandoah National Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed overnight enroute to Canaan Valley, WV. The entrance to the campground was lovely but very misleading. The campground itself was not at all appealing. There were a lot of "regulars"; campers that perhaps live fairly close by that spend their weekends at this campground or it appears this way. They were a rough and routy group. During the overnight hours there was drinking, cursing, screaming that sounded threatening and very loud partying that went on well into the night. We felt very unsafe and needless to say didn't get much sleep during the night. The sun had hardly risen when we packed up and were on our way. We will never use this campground again or recommend it to others. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Stayed here one night in May 2007. I was pleasantly surprised with the layout, cleanliness and how quiet the campground was. The desk personnel were very friendly and helpful. I had a large pull through that fit me nicely. Nice shady sites with all hookups except cable TV. The OTA antenna could only pick up one station. No big deal as I was here to relax anyway.

Very quiet and peaceful. A little tricky maneuvering the road into, road is narrow. Great dog area with lots of room for them to run plus a creek for swimming. Very friendly staff, and they kept the place very clean. The bathrooms were one of the nicest we've ever seen. Our site was a tad small but there were some very big sites in the park.

Another typical KOA with one exception; the sites were not particularly level. Even after leveling, our water in the gray tank would not completely empty, unless I blocked the wheels. The wonderful thing is that it is remotely located. When pulling out of the entrance, there is no view of traffic coming from either the left or right due to trees and hills. The WiFi was slow and there is no cable and given the hills of VA, the antenna didn't do any good. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground was just OK for us. As we were going to our site, our motorhome met up with some low hanging tree branches..not a good thing for us and not something you want to deal with on your first visit. No damage to our motorhome but it was of concern to us. The sites were not very level for us, roads were gravel and sites were gravel/dirt. Site were close together also. We stayed here as a stop over going to North Carolina. Would not want to stay here any longer than one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The CG is three miles down a winding country road that could be a little intimidating on a dark wet night. The CG is rustic but very clean and even though the area is hilly the sites are level and easy to access. The management takes pride in the place and we will return. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Very nice, quiet, wooded campground. About three miles off I-81. We had a water/electric site. There is a pool and they have hayrides and show a movie on Saturday night in their pavilion. They have a small game room. Nice hiking trail up the mountain, but think it is longer than 2 miles as noted on the campground map. Other than that, not much more for kids to do. We used the campground as a base to explore Harrisonburg, which was about 10 minutes away. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have enjoyed this campground several times in the past. It is quiet and peaceful and far enough off of I-81 that you don't hear any traffic. The sites are fairly level and heavily wooded. Staff is pleasant - the only complaint was that one of the employees used a very loud four wheeler to go to and from all areas of the campground. He started this early in the morning as well - a golf cart would have been a better choice...or even a tractor would have been quieter. That was my only complaint. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy access, nice and quiet. Graveled roads and spaces, a little soggy in heavy rain. Good spacing on the sites.
