Campgrounds near New Hope, Virginia
New Hope is a small community in Augusta County in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, positioned between the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and the Allegheny Mountains to the west. The area functions as a practical base for RV travelers exploring Shenandoah National Park, which stretches along the Blue Ridge Mountains and rises above the Virginia Piedmont to its east and the Shenandoah Valley to its west.
Several private and public campgrounds sit within a short drive. Waynesboro North 340 Campground and Sun Retreats Shenandoah Valley serve travelers wanting valley-floor sites with hookups, while Shenandoah Valley Campground and Misty Mountain Camp Resort offer wooded sites closer to the mountains. For a national park stay, Loft Mountain Campground - Shenandoah National Park sits inside the park itself.
Loft Mountain Campground is the largest campground in Shenandoah National Park and sits atop Big Flat Mountain, with nearby waterfalls and trails into Big Run Wilderness. That mix of valley RV parks and in-park camping lets travelers match sites to trip style, whether the priority is hookups, hiking access, or Skyline Drive touring.
Things to do near New Hope
Hiking dominates the area. A 101-mile segment of the Appalachian Trail runs the full length of Shenandoah National Park, and the park's trail network reaches many waterfalls, ridge lookouts, and wilderness routes. From Loft Mountain Campground - Shenandoah National Park, the Frazier Discovery Trail and trails toward Doyles River and Jones Run put waterfalls and ridge views within reach of camp.
Scenic driving is the other headline activity. Skyline Drive runs 105 miles along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with 75 overlooks spaced roughly every 1.5 miles and a 35 mph speed limit that encourages a slow pace. Wildlife viewing is common along the drive and on trails, with white-tailed deer, black bears, wild turkeys, and groundhogs among the frequent sightings.
Downtown Staunton and Waynesboro add restaurants, breweries, and museums for rainy-day plans, and the George Washington National Forest offers additional trailheads and fishing streams west of the valley.

The prime RV window runs from late spring through fall. Loft Mountain Campground is normally open from the end of April to the beginning of November, with 153 sites able to accommodate RVs and trailers between 20 and 55 feet. Fall foliage peaks in early to mid October at ridge elevations and drives strong weekend demand.
Summer brings warm, humid days and afternoon thunderstorms; higher elevations run cooler than the valley floor. Winter changes the calculus for anyone counting on park access. Skyline Drive remains open through the winter unless it is closed for snow or ice, and because of cold mountain temperatures it can take crews several days to reopen the road after winter storms. The mountain is usually about 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the valley below, and what falls as rain in the valley can arrive as ice or snow along the ridge.
Hurricanes and tropical remnants occasionally reach the region in late summer and early fall, and the park has closed in past events tied to significant wind and rain forecasts.
Booking and reservation tips
In-park sites use the federal system. Reservations for Loft Mountain Campground are made through Recreation.gov, with sites bookable up to six months in advance. The campground has a mix of reservable and first-come, first-served sites, and reservable inventory is released in sections rather than all at once. Booking well ahead is advisable for weekend stays during peak season from late spring through fall.
Private parks near New Hope, including Waynesboro North 340 Campground, Shenandoah Valley Campground, Misty Mountain Camp Resort, and Sun Retreats Shenandoah Valley, take reservations through their own websites or third-party platforms. Booking early is essential for holiday weekends and October foliage dates, when hookup sites fill weeks or months ahead.
What to expect on the ground
Expect a mix of settings. Valley campgrounds around Waynesboro sit at lower elevation with easier RV access, longer pull-throughs, and full-hookup options. In-park sites are more rustic: campsites at Loft Mountain have no electric, water, or sewer hookups at the site, though the campground offers showers, a dump station, potable water, a camp store, and laundry.
Roads to ridge-top campgrounds involve mountain grades and switchbacks. Cell service is patchy inside the park, and the 35 mph speed limit on Skyline Drive should be treated as a maximum, with icy patches possible on shaded curves that otherwise appear dry in cool months.
Bears are present, so food storage rules are strict at park sites, with food-storage lockers provided at Loft Mountain. Firewood is regulated to slow invasive pests, so buying certified wood on site or nearby is the safer option.
