I read the reviews here, and decided to take a chance. Here's what we found: This park is relatively far from a main route. Getting there requires navigating a windy, hilly road for a few miles from RT 340. We had no trouble, but this campground is not close enough to I-81 to be useful to folks moving through. We arrived after dark to find the gate manned. We paid and were told to pick a site. Because it was dark, it was very hard to see where the sites were. Even during the day, it is hard to see where the sites are. Some of the marked sites have broken electric. We set up and found it was difficult to level the RV, given the sloping nature of the grass. If you plan on staying here, you should know that the sites along the river are nice, but lack electricity and tend to attract noisy groups. There was no effort to quiet down the loud music on Friday night. Bottom Line: This is a chill-out park that would be great for a few days in an RV. This is not the best park for thru-travelers due to the distance from the main roads. There are no facilities other than a dump station and water/electric. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Yuck! Watermelon Park has potential, but needs new management. Arrived at 6:30 PM, the camp store was closed, nobody at the check-in booth, no instructions on what to do for late check in. Took a peek at the shower building and promptly got the heck out of there. A filthy broken down building with no working lights, no hardware on the bathroom stalls. Too bad because, aside from being too far down a gravel road, the location is really nice - right along the river. Lots of sites, few trees. Might be okay if you have an RV and don't need to use the showers or bathrooms. I would recommend having a back-up option, though. The price is good, they charge by the person, not the site. $10 per person. We camped here in a Tent.

Laid-back campground (not found in Woodalls), but a great place to spend a night or use as a base to explore Virginia Hunt country and local wineries. We camped right along the Shenandoah River (no hookups) instead of using the hookups further away from the river. Lots of space between us and the neighboring sites! We camped here in a camper.
