  • Going back.
    By Norman, 10/12/09
    Just got back and planning next trip. Location to Skyline Drive and surronding area was excellent.The lady they say is rude is just like the website, short and to the point. haha But a joy to talk to and listen to. If you are looking to be pampered pay at least double the rate and go elsewhere. If you want to camp and enjoy outdoors go here. a Tenters paradise even though we went in our class C camper. Electric is basic 110 volt but we loved it.

  • We loved our adventure
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/08/08
    We found Gooney Creek after a long day's motorcycle ride. We absolutely loved the seculded sites along the creek. The cliffs and the trees by the creek sheltered us during high winds and heavy rains the night we were there. We even stayed an extra night to take advantage of the area. We swam in the creek (no snakes found at that time), and ...

    By It's lil ol' me, 04/18/08

There's a swiiming hole not far up the path but if you go ...

  • Gorgeous Campground
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/20/07
    We were there several weeks ago.....
    Lovely place, good rates, nice folks.
    Hot strong showers,as clean as one could expect...we're camping, Duh?....
    Convienant to everything. town, canoeing,
    the Drive(Skyline)and Caverns.
    We didn't see any snakes...and we looked.
    The grassy areas were properly maintained
    and the creek is beautiful. All in all, it was a wonderful camping experience for our family.

  • Great for groups!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/19/07
    The group site "under the bridge" may sound a bit sketchy, but the truth is that it's perfect for a group, especially a group that is loud until all hours of the night. Since the group site is under the bridge, it's separated from the rest of the camp and the sound doesn't travel very well. The "nickel and dime" ...

  • Great Place but needs some TLC!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/08/07
    I have been camping at Gooney Creek for about 17 years. The creek, swimming areas and camp locations are excellent. The owner is not able to maintain the place so if you can get past her 'manner' and some dirt (you are camping!) - you will have a lot of fun. My children love it! Campfire, swing rope into the creek....fun.

  • Gimme More $$$$
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/25/06
    Excellent location to Shenandoah River and other spots in Front Royal. Nice location in canyon by creek. Creek is gorgeous. The owner is an older lady with an attitude and is incapable of keeping up with the maintenance of the place. She will nickle and dime you for every cent she can. Best sites are on the creek. If it wasn't convenient to the outfitter, I would have gone somewhere else!

  • A Good Nights Sleep
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/24/06
    Tent camped here last weekend on a primitive site beside the creek where there was a small waterfall. The sound of the rushing water all night long was awesome. Its a beautiful place to stay and we will be back next year

  • Not a happy camper
    By Jason T, 07/03/06
    The campground was beautiful, shaded by the creek. Nice central location to wineries, canoeing, fishing, cave tours, and close to downtown Front Royal. But the owner was just plain rude. We woke up to be lectured and lambasted for no reason. The owners rudeness, and arrogance ruined the begining of what was a wonderful weekend in the mountains. Would not recommend at all!
