Natural Chimneys Park and Campground

Do the towering limestone formations of Natural Chimneys, reaching up to 120 feet, evoke the image of medieval turrets rising over the serene Shenandoah Valley? This striking geological feature sets the stage for a family-friendly campground that blends natural beauty with convenient amenities in Mount Solon, Virginia.

Natural Chimneys Park and Campground boasts 165 campsites, accommodating RVs and tents with options including water and electrical hookups, as well as a dedicated primitive camping area near the riverfront. While many sites are shaded and generously sized, privacy is somewhat limited due to minimal shrubbery. The campground features two clean, well-maintained shower houses, restrooms, and a sanitary dump station. Visitors can enjoy a range of on-site recreation such as a swimming pool, playground, spacious picnic areas, and over 2.5 miles of hiking and biking trails through diverse landscapes, from riverside paths to scenic overlooks at the chimneys.

Located just 26 minutes from Harrisonburg, the park is a tranquil retreat rooted in its unique natural and cultural heritage. Beyond the rock formations, it hosts seasonal highlights like the Red Wing Roots Music Festival and two annual jousting tournaments, including the oldest continuously held sporting event in North America. With trout-stocked waters and access to the Virginia Birding & Wildlife Trail, this campground offers a mix of relaxation, outdoor fun, and local charm, making it ideal for weekend getaways or extended stays.
