Creekside Campground

The Great Outdoors

Book an RV in Shenandoah County, and you're all set to begin an adventure that will be different from any other vacation you've gone on before. RV camping is unique, and driving your rental RV is one of the reasons why. When you're ready, jump behind the wheel and head for George Washington and Jefferson National Forest near Warm Springs. This idyllic park is stretched along the Appalachian Mountain Range and has territory in the states of Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Fishing, hiking, and mountain biking are the most popular activities within the park, but the park also provides an opportunity to enjoy orienteering (in the summer) and cross-country skiing (in the winter).Nathaniel Mountain Wildlife Management Area is one of West Virginia's largest WMAs and includes three mountain areas: Nathaniel Mountain; Piney Mountain; and South Branch Mountain. It's primarily designated for hunting white-tailed deer, black bear, and some small mammals such as bobcat and coyote. Primitive campsites have been established, and you can also enjoy fishing within the park; Mill Run (a stream) flows through the park before joining the South Potomac River later on. Hiking and nature observation may be possible within the park, but you should check with park managers or rangers before attempting to go hiking (especially if hunting season has started). Wearing bright colored vests to identify yourself is recommended. Nathaniel Mountain is a good place to take nature and wildlife photos.Shenandoah National Park is a wildlife refuge where you can enjoy camping and backcountry camping, hiking and mountain biking, and even rock climbing if you're in the mood. There is an auto tour road that bisects the park, allowing you to take your RV rental through the park safely, and fishing is permitted in the numerous mountain streams for brook trout. Some local tour companies are allowed to take guests fly fishing within the park boundaries, and there are ranger-led programs that you can participate in, which explain the park's history, geology, and much more. If your inclination is just to observe, you can keep your eyes peeled for the many bird and mammal species that inhabit the park, go hunting with a camera and check out some of the waterfalls that also populate the park (there are several to choose from).

Exploring The Area

When you've had your fill of fresh air and sunshine, and it's time to start thinking about refueling the Edinburg motorhome rental or just kicking your feet up for a bit, check out Woodstock, a smallish town with a friendly atmosphere and lots to do. There is a tower observation site where you can look down on Woodstock, or you can head for a local attraction known as Big Schloss (it's a medium-length trail you can hike with a scenic view as a reward). There are vineyards and breweries to check out, farms and farmers markets, boutiques, and more. Woodstock also has a roller rink where you can kill some time skating without ice. The town's food scene has a few commercial franchise-style outlets, but most places are locally owned and operated, and range in price from inexpensive to moderate.New Market has history and some unique natural attractions; start your exploration of the town by visiting a system of underground caverns, then check out some of the local museums; one is dedicated to the military in general and another to local Civil War events. There are antique stores you can browse through, an arts center, and a flea market. The restaurant scene has a good selection of venues to choose from; most of them feature either American or Mexican cuisine, with a few pizzerias thrown in and a few commercial chain establishments. Portions are generally large, and prices are reasonable.Surround yourself with water, trees, and vistas when you settle into a campsite at Creekside Campground.
