About this place
Family owned and operated since 1939, Watermelon Park Campground is nestled along the scenic Shenandoah River in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains outside Berryville, Virginia. The historic park serves as a classic outdoor retreat for campers, river rafters, and families looking to unplug and unwind in nature. Beyond overnight stays, the park is known for river recreation like tubing and kayaking adventures, and serves as an open-air venue for weddings, reunions, scout troops, and church retreats. The property features a variety of RV campsites arranged by rig size, accommodating setups ranging from compact rigs under 32 feet up to massive 100-foot outfits. Every site comes equipped with water connections, 30- and 50-amp electrical service, a picnic table, and a dedicated fire ring. Due to the park’s close proximity to the river shoreline, individual sites do not feature direct sewer connections; instead, visitors have complimentary access to an on-site dump station, a shared bathhouse, and optional honey truck pump-out services. Watermelon Park is an ideal getaway for outdoor lovers, water enthusiasts, and RV travelers seeking riverfront scenery with Blue Ridge views.
