All cabins are locked, so you must get a key from the PATC by mail before your visit. For reservations, call or write the PATC at the address above. The cabins are popular, so reserve early. Campgrounds Shenandoah National Park operates five campgrounds along Skyline Drive. All campgrounds have a 14-day limit, allow pets, do not accept credit cards and are closed in the winter.
Many sites accommodate tents, tent trailers and recreational vehicles.
However, water and electric hookups are not available for RVs. Shower and laundry facilities are near all but two of the campgrounds. For more information, refer to our Recreation chapter. Mathews Arm reopened 117 of its 181 sites in September 1997 for self-contained vehicles only. The campground was closed in 1993 due to budget shortfalls, but increased entrance fees at Shenandoah National Park helped raise enough funds to reopen the facility.
