Mathews Arm Campground
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
Secluded in the thick trees and rolling hills of Shenandoah National Park, Mathews Arm Campground is the ideal spot for a camping getaway. The park includes 300 square miles of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the southern Appalachians, rising above the Virginia Piedmont to its east and the Shenandoah Valley to its west. Shenandoah has over 500 miles of trails, including 101 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Some lead to a waterfall or viewpoint while others wind deep into the forests and wilderness. Mathews Arm is located near Overall Run Falls, which at 93 feet has the highest drop of all the falls in the park; a moderately difficult trail to the falls is accessible from the campground, and once there, visitors can enjoy views of the entire Shenandoah Valley and Massanutten Mountain. Wildlife viewing is also a popular pastime, with black bears, wild turkey, deer, birds and countless other animals abundant across the park. The campground sits right off Milepost 22 on the famous Skyline Drive, which runs 105 miles north and south along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with stunning views from any of its 75 scenic overlooks. Mathews Arm is a family-oriented campground, offering plenty of open space across nearly 166 campsites. All sites include a place for a tent or RV, a fire ring and a picnic area. The campground also offers flush toilets, drinking water and one dump station. There are no showers in this campground. Elkwallow Wayside is just two miles away, offering camping supplies, a limited-menu restaurant, prepared sandwiches, beverages, souvenirs and more. Two visitor centers are located along Skyline Drive: Dickey Ridge Visitor Center, 18 miles north, and the Harry F. Byrd Sr. Visitor Center, 29 miles south. Bookstores, restaurants and exhibits are scattered throughout the park.
