Gwynn Island

It is mostly for seasonal campers, but will always have room for daily/weekly/weekenders. There is a section for tents, sites not specific, but about an acre and a half of wooded grassland. One porta-pot for all tenters. There is but one bath house, and although spotless and nice, it is in the row right up on the water, and we are a long walk from there.
Wifi is strong throughout the campground. Friday nights they open the grill and sell burgers, hotdogs, sausage and peppers, wraps, and other good eats. Occasionally a band also plays on weekends.

It's a VA State Park.

Clean, roomy sites with plenty of room between you and your neighbors. Laundry on-site, as well as a dish washing station.
Skyline & Luray Caverns are close by, and should you want to canoe or float the Shenandoah River, several outfitters are within 5 miles.
Fishing will net you large & small mouth bass, bluegill, crappie, and an occasional catfish. Although fun to catch, there are warnings about eating anything caught in these waters due to PCB and various other toxins resulting from coal mining upriver.
Wifi is available at the office/interpretive center during business hours.

Great Campground!

Most sites are huge and very private. Some have bay views, most have plenty of shade from wind swept Live Oaks. This campground IS in a slightly urban area, and as such some sites are within 50ft of the highway.
Nearby are plenty of recreational activities, on and off the water.
Approximately 3 miles down the road is the Leaping Lizard Cafe, featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Good, inexpensive food.
In season it can be extremely busy, and getting a site may be difficult. It is the most visited State Park in Virginia. If you have pets, it can get pricey, as they charge $5.25 per dog, per day.
