Nestled near Luray, Virginia, which is famous for its dramatic caverns, Spacious Skies Campgrounds-Shenandoah Views offers a peaceful, family-friendly haven surrounded by mountain vistas, rolling hills and friendly cows that greet campers along the fence line.

Set up your home away from home at one of the campground’s RV sites, cabins, tent sites or glamping yurts. Most sites include firepits and picnic tables. A new camp store, two pools, dog park and playground with a jumping pillow round out the fun.

Spacious Skies’ Luray location is one of 15 sites in a collection of campgrounds that begins in Savannah, Georgia, and runs north through the Carolinas and into the Northeast, all the way to Abbot, Maine.

Early April is an ideal time to visit the Shenandoah area for spring blooms. Download the Seek by iNaturalist app (or bring another plant and flower identifier) and spot wildflowers, hepaticas, asters, Turk’s-cap lilies, spiderworts, anemones, wild azaleas and more along Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park’s many hiking trails.
