Rating: 8 7 8 8 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The campground is very clean and has one of the best fenced dog runs I've seen. The workers were professional and fairly friendly. I really didn't have that much contact with them as it was winter and very cold most of the time. Propane service was excellent and inexpensive which was really appreciated during the cold weather. Easy access to I-81. Walmart super center close by. As promised and expected the water spigots were locked down at 8pm or 36 degrees and weren't unlocked until 8AM or 36 degrees. No problem for me but if your fresh water pump isn't working properly it would be a problem. Now, here is the problem with Candy Hill.....the traffic noise from Hwy 37. It is continuous and unrelenting. Big trucks using jake brakes all night is not conducive to sleep. We were in site E3, which is a premium site and close to the highway. I suspect Candy Hill was a pretty cool RV park before they built that road. I also suspect that Candy Hill will one day be purchased for commercial property. Winchester was a neat city for site seeing and has all of the major businesses and restaurants. Now for a negative. We paid for a premium site, which should have allowed us a "free" visitor. When my daughter showed up for a BRIEF visit I was charged a $5.00 fee. When I inquired about the "free" visitor I was supposed to receive, I was advised that I had received a reduced rate for the premium site which negated the "free" visitor policy. The fee for the visitor was to be paid in cash only so I highly suspect it goes to the workers and not reported to the IRS. Pretty cheap of them. I could see the visitor fee if the pool were open but it was not. Owners of Candy Hill........you need to revisit this policy and maybe use some kind of armband for people using the facilities. - Lynn Wagoner
On game in town on way south. Staff friendly, sites very nice but cost too high for value. Water was locked at time we arrived due to temperature. They did offer to turn it on to fill our tank but would lock it back up. This factor was not reflected in the price! Still paid full price. We were put in a premium, pull-thru site which was on pad and very nice. - Mainiac

Rating: 4 8 8 5 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Go in with the right expectations, this is NOT an RV park. They have fixed up the road going in but it is at least a mile or more of a rough gravel road. We camped closer to the "off season", the site we had was unlevel, difficult to get our fifth wheel level. There is shared water, fortunately there was no one else on the next site so we could stay hooked up to the water. No sewer or sewer dump. The previous patrons had moved the stone fire ring and picnic table, we had to move both (the fire ring stone by stone) in order to get our camper placed along the hook ups. There is no cell phone service. This is more of a "natural outdoorsy" campground. There were some nice amenities. We went for the ATV trails. However, it was expensive compared to other trail systems. There are a variety of trails, from super rocks to climbs to mud. Jeep trails too. They have a large pond that you can kayak, canoe, swim. Lots of room to walk around and explore. I had read reviews that the staff was rude. We experienced very pleasant and helpful staff. This would be a great place for tent camping, unsure if there are showers and actual flushable bathrooms though. Definitely a country feel and nice escape from people. - WVSunshine
I wasn't sure what to expect when I made a 2 night reservation at The Cove. I had read mixed reviews And my nephew and my girlfriend, who both accompanied me on this trip, were not that impressed. However, I saw a diamond in the rough here. Below are my pros and cons:
Pros- Sportsman's Paradise. If you shoot, fish, ATV, hike, jeep or snow tube, this place is for you. Pristine settings between 2 mountain ranges with crystal clear lakes and ponds. Close to Tuscarora/Great Eastern Trail.
Cons- Our site wasn't quite level. The water spigots are shared. The entrance road is not for the faint of heart or those who are very fussy about their vehicle.
So being an outdoorsman I really liked this campground and may return some day. - User3064View more reviews and a full list of amenities for The Cove »Our favorite park by far. In the mountains, out of the way and "rustic". Staff are very friendly and helpful and not there to deny anyone a good time that aren't bothering others. We stayed TWICE this summer! - Jdawg and G unit

Rating: 4 4 5 5 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Very basic campground and suitable for an overnight but not one we would choose for an extended stay. Manager was very helpful and friendly, W/E 50amp pull through site was basically level. Park was occupied by many permanent rigs. Easy on/off the interstate. We would return in the future but only for 1 night. - Bob & Stephanie
No one answered the phone and no sign of owners or management, but did speak to a cleaning lady who couldn't assist In any way. Roads rutted, causing tow vehicle to drag. Had to drive over fire pit to get into/out of site. Lots of long term campers in the park. Has LOTS so potential but looks like owners may have given up. Don't know how it's rating manages to be so high. But! Convenient to I-81 for overnighting on the north-south migration route. Smaller rigs would be much happier here. We are 65' with tow vehicle. - VRoss716
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Battle of Cedar Creek Campground »This is a very basic campground. It may be a little over-priced for what you get, but this is a very expensive area. The owner is working hard to make it a success. While it is convenient for an I-81 stop-over, there are too many permanent residents and leveling is almost impossible. - larriin

Rating: 5 1 6 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The river was beautiful. Mike was great. Staff was friendly. The tubing was AWESOME. The campsites were the biggest I've ever seen. Nice, wide, more than enough room. We arrived on a Thursday and left on Sunday and also had some tent people meeting us there. For us, the stay was nice. For the tent people not so great due to the bath houses being completely disgusting. You also have to bring quarters with you to use the showers which the website doesn't disclose. A certain nationality of people showed up Friday night, by the hundreds. Things went downhill from there. They were loud, dirty and I think the bath house situation was because of them. They played loud music, left their trash everywhere, sped through the campground. Border patrol was all over the place and cops frequented the campsite over the weekend. On Sunday, they all packed up and left. They left garbage EVERYWHERE. I felt so bad for the owners to have to clean up such a mess. This is such a beautiful place to camp. I hope the owners can figure out a way to deter the illegals (I'm assuming illegal with so much border patrol officers around). - Leslie C.
Don't trust these people, this used to be a great campground that our group stayed at for several years in a row. USED to be friendly and worked well with us. We always came with a group of 20-100 people. Then things started going downhill. A bad element of people started coming in, in spite of complaints by us for a couple of years in a row of campers from other sites/groups coming into our reserved areas disrupting our functions and items coming up missing nothing was done by management to curb it. Although management lives right across the road, once they are gone for the day that's it, you're on your own. The last straw was when we made our usual reservation at our usual group rate, something happened and the lady that used to handle our reservations was no longer there. ONE WEEK prior to our event we were told that neither the space we had reserved nor the rate we were promised would be honored. They doubled the price, we did get our space back, but not without a lot of hassle. This same thing happened to another sister group earlier. We won't be back. - luvmyhp
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Watermelon Park »I read the reviews here, and decided to take a chance. Here's what we found: This park is relatively far from a main route. Getting there requires navigating a windy, hilly road for a few miles from RT 340. We had no trouble, but this campground is not close enough to I-81 to be useful to folks moving through. We arrived after dark to find the gate manned. We paid and were told to pick a site. Because it was dark, it was very hard to see where the sites were. Even during the day, it is hard to see where the sites are. Some of the marked sites have broken electric. We set up and found it was difficult to level the RV, given the sloping nature of the grass. If you plan on staying here, you should know that the sites along the river are nice, but lack electricity and tend to attract noisy groups. There was no effort to quiet down the loud music on Friday night. Bottom Line: This is a chill-out park that would be great for a few days in an RV. This is not the best park for thru-travelers due to the distance from the main roads. There are no facilities other than a dump station and water/electric. - outsid4evr

Rating: 8 7 2 7 1 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Stayed here one night with two motor homes. Park is clean and easy to negotiate. We stayed in section C with electric and water and both were fine. Seems to be a lot of activities for children and adults. One of our coaches is a 44' and he had no problem getting around this park.this isour 2nd time here and we would return. - RayN
Stayed here a week in our motor home. Stayed in site 160, full hookups with 50 amp. (Fee paid over our Coast to Coast for 50 amp Service.) Our site backed up to the river and was very peaceful. Paved roads and gravel sites. Convenient to shopping and restaurants. - Dedra C
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for North Fork Resort »This is not what I call a resort, more of a campground. Has amenities, none which were active since this was after Labor Day. Sites where they wanted to put us were either already occupied or the drop off to unhook or hookup is extreme. Other areas were wooded with a bunch of trees or were too short for our unit. Seems to be located on the side of a mtn, so getting in, out and around the campground was a pain and the roads through area A are quite tedious. The only more level sites seemed to be at the very bottom of the mtn along the river area where most are permanent or have no sewer. The nicer sites up by where you come in to this campground are reserved for local contractors, even though they were not all full, we were not allowed to park our unit there for the one night stay. Took about 45 minutes to find a place we could safely fit our unit & rig. I called around lunch on the day we were to arrive to make a reservation and was told yes they could accommodate us, just come to the security booth and they would fond us a spot. Did not want our info or anything. Seemed like they just wanted to get off the phone. Was very disappointed in the whole mess. The poor girl in the security booth once we arrived was very nice and did try hard to help us, and didn't have a way of knowing that the sites that showed open were occupied. Someone other than her were not on top of their job. - Nitwitt100

Rating: 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for The Log Cabin Campground (TLC) »I have camped at TLC many times and consider it to be one of my favorites. The folks that run this rustic campground are down-to-earth and friendly. Sites are large with plenty of shade and the restrooms are always very clean. I'm a tent camper that isn't familiar with the length's of various RVs but I have seen a few monsters in this campground. There is a nice playground and plenty of peace and quiet both day and night. It's a great mid-way point between Winchester and Berkeley Springs so there is a lot to do. Every other week they have blue grass concerts in the summer with a sprinkling of unique festivals in between. Will definitely be back. - Tripp

Rating: 9 9 3 7 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Pros: Owner keeps park clean and well manicured. Location right on the river is beautiful and peaceful. Only about 20-25 spaces so it's quiet with a nice concrete patio pad with river view. Several longer term residents but everyone is very nice and friendly. We would recommend and come back for sure. Cons: Confusing to find. Owner should post direction info or better yet good signage. Easy to get yourself at the end of a dead end road with no turnaround. Not good with a 41ft 5th wheel. Lots of rules about parking and no rugs on the grass. - 1Bobbie
Nice, basic campground on the bank of the Shenandoah river. There are a few sites that will accommodate RVs over 40 feet. We use a Dish Tailgater and had no problem finding two satellites. (Roof mounted satellite probably would not work.) We would definitely stay again. - davedopp
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Poe's Southfork Campground »This is a very plain Jane park with only a few sites that all back to the river. Pads are gravel, barely. We arrived in the early afternoon to find no one at the office. We asked someone that was a seasonal camper and he had no idea what we should do. The signage said to call a number and not to pull into a site. We called and two hours later still no return call. We went ahead and picked a site, anyway. Finally someone, not the manager, came by and took our payment although we could not use our credit card as was stated on the web site. The water was also very brown even after running the water for a minute after hooking up. We only stayed overnight although we had planned on a 3 night stay. - HRambler

Rating: 6 10 6 6 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Out of the way - 9 miles off I-81. Very quiet at this time of year. Friendly, small town privately owned park. Appear to be developing to family focused group camps. Converted farmland. - pwaygood
We were the only campers in this gem overnight stay. The campsites are in a huge grassy field with water and electricity hook-ups. Dump and dumpster at the entrance. We spent part of our evening under a covered patio type protection attached to a huge old (1800) barn, because of a tornado alert and then a thunderstorm alert. We were able to pull our Class B RV in under shelter in case of hail (there was none, but a huge rain).
The showers have plush carpets in front of the stalls. Spotless washrooms. And the campground is on a creek. - skidiverView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Lazy-A Campground »This is a very hard campground to rate. It is very rustic and beautiful, however the interior roads are minimal and the majority of the sites are grass only, without any stone. We were concerned that we would not be able to get our motor home out without getting stuck if it rained. They have three full hookups sites that are basically in a circle with PVC pipe cobbled together to one sewer hole. On the up side, the water pressure was good and the 50 amp electric reliable. The owners were friendly and helpful. We were visiting friends who live in the area and this was the closest option near their home. Due to the size and weight of our 40 foot motor home, we would probably try another campground further away if visiting the area again. - D&K

Rating: 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Sites can accommodate RV's up to about 35 feet. However the road to the campground (VA678) is very narrow, as is the campground perimeter road so you have to be careful when getting there and backing into a site. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros: Very nice/friendly camp hosts, good fishing along Passage Creek (I caught 4 small fish in about 45 minutes) , lots of trails to hike, fairly new bath house with hot showers and flush toilets, refurbished old cabin as well as historic furnace site.
Cons: The water fountains were not working, the dump station was not working, no W/E/S (except for the camp host), they have a water pump within the park, very crowded on weekends and during hunting season, no cell service, no satellite service ( except for the camp host). - User3064View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Elizabeth Furnace »No water right now.

Rating: 5 4 9 3 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The desk help was very good and pleasant. Front half of the "resort" was nice with some need of cleaning up but generally nice. The sites were small with many long term renters. Our site did not have a picnic table and it would not have fit in the areas adjacent to our parking spot anyway. Friends were reserved to stay across from us in brand new sites, but they were not even completed. We were told we could park 2 vehicles at our site, but we could not even park one. We parked in one of the incomplete sites. Many sites were being built or updated, but while gravel had been laid, they were not not level enough to use. Good area, nice price and nice people. I hope they make the improvements needed. - NicknTina
This area of VA is just breathtaking. Take time to enjoy the views! The campground has both full and part time campers. Our site was difficult to back into and also to get level. We had to put out 30' of sewer hose. Thankfully we had that much with us. The picnic table was very unstable and we notified the office. Nothing was done. The dumpster across from our site, was the place the bear, that lives nearby, comes to every night and strews trash everywhere. I asked the office why they didn't get a different dumpster, I know they make dumpsters that are bear proof, she didn't seem concerned, which is a shame, you can see this bear being labeled a "problem" by wildlife officials. The outcome won't be good. The interior roads are in good shape. We saw numerous campers drive around several times trying to find their sites, some hard to find. No one escorted you to your site. This park has the potential to be outstanding with the proper management. I will look for another park next time we are in the area. - Vicki K
