Wonderful campgroundn in the Fall. BEAUTIFUL colors on the trees and the nature walk around the campground is very enjoyable and beautiful. Campsites were good gravel and level enough. If arriving with a large vehicle, be sure to take the road so that you are turning right into the driveway (come in from the east, following route 20). My GPS regularly routed me from the other direction (along rout 631), when driving from Cville, and that road is narrower and much more twisty - a little more challenging and nerve wracking with my 30' motorhome.

Great location and stay. We were in Spot 20 from Friday to Sunday. My only comments relate to entry into the campground off of Red Hill Rd when approaching from Scottsville Rd. There should be a yellow traffic sign(s) indicating: 1) there’s an entrance on the right near the end of the “S” curve, and 2) that slow vehicles may be pulling out into traffic from this entrance (trucks pulling trailers or fifth wheels, Class As, or Class Cs). This is curvy, tree-lined road carrying large vehicles piloted by drivers of varying skill. Signage will improve traffic safety.

The Charlottesville KOA is located near the beautiful Shenandoah National Park- about 30 minutes away and the city of Charlottesville about 20 minutes. The park itself is clean. A little unkempt in regards to mowing, but it was end of September. The sites are very close together, like most KOA’s. The pool was not open, even though it was warm. We had a nice pull through gravel site. The driveway going in is paved along with the roundabout by the office. There was laundry available. The dryers charge you $1.50, but didn’t dry thoroughly. I prefer the ones that you have to add minutes with a quarter or .50 cents. There was a game room with a decent variety of games. Pool, foosball, air hockey and some board games. The nature path was nice and a good hike. Does need a little maintenance, but enjoyed the walk! The dog park is a little small, but was clean. Not sure it’s worth over $80/night, but we appreciated the location.

This is a great KOA. Excellent location to Monticello. Large pitches. We had full hook up. The lady was lovely and gave us a choice of pitch, we chose some shade. It was perfect. The pool is really big and deep, compared to other camp grounds it's massive and we loved it. My boys 12 and 14 had a blast in it, as did I as I could actually swim. Bouncy pillow also a hit. Basketball hoop. Nice shop and games room. Washroom spotless. WiFi Excellent which is a massive boon for us. Campground has a relaxing feel and we loved our stay, peaceful and we felt safe. Highly recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars Had a wonderful stay at the Charlottesville KOA! It's a very quiet and laid back atmosphere. The staff here are genuinely friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. One of the standout features is the generous lot sizes - they're huge compared to most campgrounds we've stayed at, giving you plenty of space to spread out and feel comfortable. The bathhouse was impressively clean. They do have a nature trail on the property, which is a nice feature, though it could use a bit more maintenance as it's gotten a little unkempt in places. One heads up for future visitors: the road leading to the campground is very winding, and the entrance comes up suddenly. Be prepared to slow down and keep an eye out for it. There's really no place to turn around if you miss the entrance. Overall, highly recommend this KOA for anyone looking for a peaceful camping experience with excellent facilities and friendly service.

Beautiful setting. Great cabins. Wonderful place to relax and do nothing, but relax. Very small, not many amenities. Lisa in the shop was wonderful and so friendly. Recommend bringing your own charcoal, they don't sell bags. They accommodate pets, but have many rules listed. NO barking, no dogs in cabins, no dogs off leashes. Their "dog park" is a small fenced in patch of grass.

Our very first night RV'ing! Had a wonderful time here. Arrived slightly after hours, however, easy check-in process and fortunately Lisa was still onsite to help us set up (Thank you ever so much!!) Facilities are beautifully clean and the shop well equipped.

Have faith for the last 20 mi. There are no signs but it's there! A little secluded but well maintained

This is a hidden gem a little over a half an hour outside Shenandoah NP. Exceptionally friendly staff welcome you to a woodsy KOA that has all the usual attractions but each camouflaged between towering trees. We visited in autumn with our 2 dogs and throughly enjoyed our stay. Our site was spacious and semi private. We hiked their nature trail each morning and evening with the dogs and enjoyed views of Beaver pond while appreciating the mutt mitt station along our route. A small fenced in pet playground allowed the pooches to run free and meet friends. You’ll find very clean private showers and bathrooms as well as a nice little camp store with souvenirs and snacks. Very well done! Thank you to our hosts.
