Shenandoah National Park Visit

All 4 campgrounds are beautiful and you will have no difficulty with a 20' trailer. Would suggest making reservations in advance, as the park campgrounds are very popular. There are a couple of first come, first serve sites at Matthews Arm, Big Meadows and Loft Mountain, but they fill up quickly especially during weekends. Lewis Mountain is all first come, first serve, but it is a very small campground and apt to be full. At each camp office, you can ask for a trail map, and it will tell you about the length, difficulty and location of each hike. You will see lots of deer, beautiful birds and if you are lucky a bear or two, sometimes with cubs. The camp stores are well equipped; the waysides have more supplies and grills; At Big Meadows there is a lodge with a restaurant with delicious food. Potable water is readily available and there are spigots in the campgrounds. As mentioned before, each campground has a dump site. Cell phones don't work well in most locations. Firewood brought from home is not accepted due to the possible spread of disease - you can purchase firewood at the camp stores. Be prepared to gasp with delight over the views from the many pullovers on the drive! Travel safely and have fun.
