We loved our stay! The campground is wonderful. Very clean. The bath houses are great. The sites are very level, we didn't have to do anything, just unhook. Great place for the family. They have a huge dog park next to the playground. They even have trash pickup. We will definitely go back. There ia a great game room for the kids and young at heart. The store is amazing! It has everything you need and more. Free coffee bar, great gifts and wood is delivered to your site. There are so many extras that make camping so much fun.

Overall, this campground is great. Bathrooms are very clean, the store has anything you might've forgotten, and there's plenty to do, including a short disc golf course, fishing pond, pool, playground, etc. Definitely family oriented, but still very very quiet at night. We did notice that the primitive tent sites may benefit from some sort of leveled tent pad, as well as a dedicated parking space so that a vehicle doesn't spin trying to get back on the pavement. Thankfully our site was extremely level, but most of the others are on an incline. We would camp here again, but would probably reserve the exact spot we wanted a bit reluctantly-it's an extra $25. Since campgrounds are a bit limited in this area we would definitely still do it as the amenities are worth it and it's very close to the city.

We Glamp/RV camp and have had yet another wonderful weekend with our friends and family at walnut hills. We have been visiting walnut hills for about 5-6 years, typically in the fall for Halloween, but have been even during spring break. There are many full hookup sites, but we typically choose the lack of sewer for space and ability to stay with our friends. The campground is well taken care of, as well as the amenities. The price has always stayed reasonable. The staff has always been sweet and helpful. All of this even when it’s changed hands a few times and renovations were on going. They have dredged the lake, and have been working on sewer connections for other parts of the campground over the past few years. Look forward to next fall’s stay and maybe a stay this spring. The local stores are well stocked and reasonably priced, and even downtown Staunton were nice day trips.

Shelby the receptionist was totally AWESOME! Was pleasantly surprised by her hospitality, knowledge of the area and generally caring attitude culminating in a great but short overnight adventure. I was also crazy happy about the FREE washers and dryers available for their visiting guests. I have NEVER encountered anything free in my five years of RVing! The Pickel Ball court and miniature golf also added to the allure of the park. This RV park is a MUST STAY!

What a beautiful place! We only stayed a night, but would definitely come back. Off I 81 in VA, but far enough into beautiful farm country that there is no highway noise at all. The sites are staggered and tiered up the hill, huge shade trees and lots of amenities! And the Dog park is what I wish all campground dog parks looked like, large enough for a good romp & run with shade trees to sniff around!
