During you Shenandoah Valley camping vacation, the Shenandoah National Park is a must visit. The most popular hike leads to the area's 14 waterfalls. Other hikes lead to places of historical interest within the Park. The most popular of these are old, pioneer homes, churches and cemeteries. Many of these homes are in ruins, but enough remain intact that hikers are treated to a bit of early Americana, and a taste of days gone by when they come across these relics of the past. You can even retrace the path that Confederate General Stonewall Jackson and his troops used to cross the mountain from west to east, on his way to Fredericksburg. Some of the trails are easy enough to hike through with most family members. They'll be amazed at the panoramic views, the deep canyons, the amazing sights, and general beauty of the area.

Discovered by men that set out in the late 1800's to find a cave in the hopes of developing a tourist attraction, people even back then came by the hundreds to see what was called the "Discovery of the Century." Today, half a million people per year take hour-long tours of the caverns where stalactites and stalagmites abound. The dripping water in the cavern continues to form these natural wonders at a rate of one cubic inch every 120 years. Our campground is near the Luray Caverns, making it the perfect afternoon trip from our park.
