Shenandoah Valley Campground Playground

If you’re camping in the Verona area, this playground punches well above its weight as a campground amenity. The water feature keeps younger kids happy while older ones head out for tubing on the Middle River — that run to the waterfall is legitimately one of the better afternoons you can have in the valley. Shade trees make the whole area usable even on hot summer days, and the walking path gives you somewhere to stretch your legs between activities. The forest and trails nearby mean wildlife sightings are common, and yes, the campground bunnies really will eat out of your hand. It’s the kind of place where families end up staying longer than they planned.
