I had a blast camping here. We were in campsite A65. I didn’t give it 5 stars because the campsites are so close to each other and it was noisy after quiet hours. We were so close, I could hear the camper next to us snoring. However, it had plenty of space for our oversized tent. Not all of the spaces did though, so if you have a large tent, check out the spaces ahead of time and reserve a space online. You can view pictures of the reservable sites. For cell service: I have T-Mobile and my phone was in and out between 1 bar and SOS. For location: we were 54 min from Big Meadows and 34 min from Walmart and Luray Caverns. There’s also zip lining in Luray just fyi. If you forget something, it’s worth taking the trip to Walmart. The store at big meadows was overpriced for sleeping bags and sleeping pads. $99-$120 for sleeping bags is unnecessary when you can get them at Walmart for $25-35.

*Bring your own firewood. I did not see firewood here or at big meadows. Maybe they run out sometimes. Walmart had plenty.

I had my wedding here in May. The staff were very accommodating. We used the patio for the ceremony and it was beautiful. They set everything up just like we asked. Very nice experience and so affordable. If you are having a small wedding, I would recommend. We used the patio as our dance floor since we couldn't fit 80 people and dancing in the one room with wooden floors. That's the only reason why I give it a 4 instead of a 5. If meeting hall A had the wooden floors, it would have worked out better. We also had to rent a room to get dressed in. Still it was very affordable. We ended up spending less than $1000 on a wedding venue. That's pretty great.
