We are located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, only a short drive from Shenandoah National Park with its diverse hiking trails and breathtaking views. We have cameras if you need one!

Our KOA is near some of Virginia's best caverns, with their underground wonders just waiting for you to see. Also close by are several wineries with some of the best wine Virginia has to offer. Interested in history? Make sure to visit Montpelier and Monticello, as well as the Civil War Trails that are near us. And while you're here, make sure to try our Specialty: Bison meat - it's healthy, low fat and tastes great! We're open year round and also have extended stay sites available.
Meet Your Hosts
Sandi and Bob Aldrich, owners of the Madison/Shenandoah Hills, Virginia KOA, purchased this campground in 1999, when they decided to find something they could do together. It became a KOA Kampground at the end of 2008.
Why this campground? "Location, location, location!" says Sandi. "It's an ideal spot to stay to be close to all kinds of attractions, festivals, fairs, and activities that are all around us." At the campground, their new pavilion and jumping pillow are favorite spots.
The Aldrichs are committed to offering hospitality, with honesty, integrity and flexibility. " We want this to be a favorite place to come to." Whether enjoying a campground activity, the peace and quiet or an area event.
Before coming to Virginia, Bob drove a transport truck for a regional oil company and Sandra did billing and office work for a medical laboratory. Today, when they are not actively hosting kampground guests, they enjoy relaxing and camping themselves.
