Site 02 of 17 at Cardinal Mountain Campground

Shenandoah 2

Shenandoah 2 sits in a small clearing that feels like its own room in the woods. Off to one side is a pile of large rocks tumbling down the slope — not a wall or anything to climb, more like a few rough steps you can walk down. It gives the site a bit of shape. After a good rain you can sometimes hear a creek running somewhere below.

Site details

Site number02 of 17
Tent deckFour decks, 16 x 16
VehiclesUp to 25 feet. Once you head in to this site there’s nowhere to turn a van around, so plan on reversing one direction or the other. We’d suggest backing in when you arrive rather than backing out when you leave — reversing up a hill is usually easier to control than reversing down one — but it’s your call. Fine if you’re comfortable reversing a van; pick 1 or 6 if you’d rather not.
AccessOff to the side shortly after you enter the campground.
