Candy Hill Campground

RV camp near Shenandoah National Park in Virginia at Candy Hill Campground. Contrary to what many people think, Candy Hill Campground has no affiliation with Christmas. Rather, once there was a farm where the campground now stands, and a child’s dog passed away and was buried on a hill. This dog’s name was Candy, and the hill thereafter was dubbed Candy Hill.

Candy Hill Campground was established in 1979, and it consists of over 100 sites spread out across 100 acres of woodlands. Around three-quarters have full hookups, while the balance has partial (no sewer) hookups. Campers have the option of adding cable TV hookups and using the WiFi.
