We arrived at Shenandoah Valley Campground in Verona, Virginia on Friday, April 14. The drive was scenic with mountains in the background, flowering trees, and farms on rolling hills.

We were surprised at how crowded the campground was when we arrived. By Saturday the campground the full. Fortunately most of the campers were there only for Easter weekend and by Monday afternoon the place was nearly empty. Ah, the quiet! Notable was the fact that campers at this campground really enjoyed sitting around their campfires from breakfast to bedtime. Saturday night the smoke was so thick outside that it was irritating my eyes INSIDE our RV (we had some windows open).

Crowded! |

Now this is more like it! |
The campground was nice. Lots of trees and a river for tubing alongside the property. It even had a waterfall!
There was also a stocked lake for fishing, heated swimming pool, hot tubs, games to play, a small café with ice cream, and pet rabbits running all over the place.

We drove into a neighboring town to buy supplies and on the drive we passed many houses with beautiful flowering trees in their yards. Beautiful--even on a cloudy day!
While in the Shenandoah Valley we spent a day driving on Skyline Drive. More on that in the next post.
