My friends and I had a lovely time here Sunday-Tuesday. We stayed on site A068 which was great because there were only neighbors on one side. The bathrooms were reasonably clean, the utility sink was easy to use and helpful, and the water was plentiful. And our site had a bear box!||Keep in mind that these sites are a little small, so if you are planning on having more than 1 or 2 tents, you may need to book a bigger site. Many of the sites seemed less secluded and more close together, but we seem to have lucked out with our placement.||We had some noisy neighbors at first, but as it got closer to quiet hours it was fine. We were surprised how quickly it cleared out after the weekend, definitely feels as though you'd have the place to yourself during the week!

We had an amazing time at Mathews Arm Campground! The area is clean, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful nature. Our campsite was spacious and well-maintained. We even saw deer walking right by our tent such a cool experience! The location is perfect for hiking and relaxing. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a calm escape in nature.

The dump station head overflowed and there was no one there to fix it, and the spaces where I parked my 25 ft RV or not exactly the best as times spaces were very steep and actually scraped my bumper on one of them and had to go to another site. He'll be careful about the sites that you reserve, and be prepared or somewhat of an uneven paved parking space. However it is the Shenandoah mountains and some of the inconveniences need to be expected. I would try to get my space at Big Meadows if possible and they have larger pull throughs for RV rigs and trucks.

If you're a small group, it will disappoint in that it's loud and unruly at times. No showers available but 2 bathroom houses in each division. Fire pits and picnic tables offered.
