Campsite Review: Waynesboro N 340 Campground, VA

A great getaway at the foot of Shanendoah National Park, only 8 miles from the beautiful Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway North Entrance, this campground in Virginia is a convenient place to spend a few days of serenity and have a base-camp for great hiking, bicycling and kayaking adventures in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Privacy

Sites are a bit close to each other but due to the layout and trees, they still offer privacy on most sites.

Noise

Super quiet during the week. About 1/4^th to 1/3^rd of the sites are used by long-term residents who seem to be very quiet. Also during the weekend everyone kept the noise down and adhered to the 10pm quiet time. Most sounds we heard throughout our stay came from the crickets and some slight street noise coming from nearby route 340.
