ABOUT US...

"Watermelon Park Campground", gets it's name from the fact that in the 1940's the 26 acre compound was a thriving Watermelon field! The park began hosting single day music events around 1943 and progressed to a three day Bluegrass Festival in 1965! People came from all around and needed a place to camp and the rest is history as they say.

Our campground is a well maintained facility that is nestled along the beautiful Shenandoah River just east of Berryville, Virginia. The tranquility of the calm river along with the backdrop of the Appalachian wilderness is something to see! We truly are the best kept secret in the Shenandoah Valley! ( although the secret is getting out!).

Our amenities include; primitive tent camping next to the river, RV camping with H20 and electric hook-up, a large bath/shower house for both men and women, a fully supplied Camp Store for all those things you may have forgotten to bring and plenty of "must have" items like ice cream, hot coffee, various snacks, camp gear etc...

Watermelon Park Campground also offers everyone's favorite seasonal pastime...Tubing down the river! You can also rent a canoe or kayak with specified trips for your day! Watermelon Park takes pride in the on-going tradition of low rates and a "laid back" friendly staff that is always willing to help out with any of your needs. Please come visit us soon!! Once you have...... you will be back.... again and again!
