We ended up risking it on this place when everything else was full on a busy weekend in Shenandoah. We were worried because of some of the bad reviews, but it ended up being really nice! We had the place to ourselves which was great, but at most there’s only 3 camp sites here that are all pretty separate from each other. You have to drive to the bath house, so kind of primitive in that sense, but... We ended up risking it on this place when everything else was full on a busy weekend in Shenandoah.

I declined to stay at Sky Meadows State Park Campgrounds due to the mile hike back to the campsite. I found Mountain Lake Campground just up the road. + very quiet + hardly any rules/regulations + economical. Paid 20$ for the site + water and electric included + owner seemed nice and welcoming - difficult check in. The office was unappealing and was not manned until 5pm. No one answered the phon...

The campground was clean and peaceful. The bathhouse clean and freshly painted. The location was ideal...close to everything but far enough away from the main roads. This is definitely a "dont judge a book by its cover" kinda campground. If you keep an open mind you will have a great time. We stayed for two nights in the "primitive camping" area and had a great time.

At first glance we were unsure, but there was nothing else available over the holiday weekend. It’s $15 per person. Our campsite was next to the pond and was very spacious and secluded. We ended up having a great time. The bathhouse isn’t bad and was a nice amenity. We will definitely be going back here again!

A basic campground if you can ignore dumpy corners. Adequate water, electricity, grass maintenance. Great views from the back sites. A horrible bath house that needs a complete redo. Moldy, decayed, barely private showers. We’d go back if it weren’t for those.
