In Shenandoah’s quieter northern district, Mathews Arm sees noticeably fewer visitors than the campgrounds farther south along Skyline Drive, making it a good pick for anyone entering the park from the Front Royal side and wanting to avoid the busier central sections. Sites offer flush toilets and potable water, no hookups, and the campground puts you close to the Overall Run Trail, leading to the tallest waterfall in the park. Given its position near the park’s northern entrance, this is a convenient first-night stop for anyone approaching Shenandoah from the Washington D.C. area without driving the full length of Skyline Drive first.
