Candy Hill Campground

We just wrapped up a 3-night stay at Candy Hill Campground in Winchester, Virginia, and it was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help and genuinely happy to see their guests enjoying their stay. The location is fantastic—quiet, relaxing, and perfectly situated for exploring Winchester and the surrounding area, yet peaceful enough to truly unwind at the campground. Everything was well maintained and had that cozy, comfortable campground feel you hope for when getting away. What really makes Candy Hill special, though, are the fabulous owners. You can tell they truly care about their campground and the people who stay there. Their hospitality and pride in the property shine through in every detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend Candy Hill Campground to anyone looking for a friendly, well-located, and welcoming place to stay! 🌲🚐

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We only stayed one night as this was our halfway point on the trip home, but we were very impressed! We chose this campground because it’s just a mile or two off I-81 — super convenient for easy on and off the highway — and could accommodate our large 45’ fifth wheel. We were scheduled to arrive after office hours but kept in touch with the campground, and when we arrived, we were greeted by Haley in the office. She was super friendly and even asked if we needed firewood or propane. After check-in, an employee escorted us to our site on a golf cart — a thoughtful touch after a long travel day. We had one of their luxury sites, which featured a large, level concrete pad with a patio. It made setup quick and easy! The site also had a gas grill, table, and chairs — a great surprise that meant I didn’t even have to set up our Blackstone for dinner. Honestly, this campground deserves a higher rating than the 3 stars it currently has. Yes, being close to the highway means there’s a bit of road noise, but we expected that and it didn’t bother us at all. We didn’t use the Wi-Fi, pool, or other amenities, but everything we saw looked extremely well maintained. The camp store was top-notch — an entire wall of RV parts and accessories, plus coffee, tea, snacks, souvenirs, and a great selection of t-shirts and hoodies. Everything was spotless, well-stocked, and well organized. Not only is this review from a happy customer, but also from a fellow campground owner — and we can truly appreciate all the thoughtful touches, attention to detail, and pride of ownership that went into this place. Overall, a great stay — we’d absolutely stop again when passing through.

I don't even know where to begin so here goes. Let me preface this with the fact that I have been RVing for over 15 yrs and have probably been to 50+ campgrounds all over the US and Canada. I would rate this campground probably 47 out of those 50 campgrounds. The only pluses I can come up with for the campground is the fact that is conveniently located a few miles off of interstate 81. It is right off a main 4 lane road that is very well traveled during the day, but not too much at night.The campground itself is exceptionally clean and most of the internal roads are paved and relatively wide. There is outside staff that will guide you to your campsite and help you back in if needed from 8am - 8pm. All of the outside staff was extremely friendly. They do have a very well stocked store with pretty much any accessory that you might need at a very premium price of 2 - 3 times what you could buy the exact same item anywhere else. The outside staff will pick up, fill and deliver back your propane bottles if you need them filled. WIFI was good at my site (f-7) and could be upgraded to premium for streaming and such for a reasonable price. I was there in November. They have a winter weather water policy that if the temperature gets below 36 degrees, they will shut off the water and they will shut off the water at your site and from 8pm - 8am no matter what the low temperature is supposed to be. I have camped in the Rockies in -20F temperatures and those campgrounds did not shut off the water, you you just required to use a heated hose. This policy is explained on their website and when you check in but it is ridiculous! All of the facilities have not been updated since the campground was opened in 1979 and it shows. Laundry facilities still have the original washers and dryers from 1979 with some of them being out of order. The capacity of all of the machines is extremely small but they still charge $2 for both the washer and dryer. The bathrooms also have not been updated so they still have the original bathroom fixtures and tile flooring, you can see pictures of the bathrooms in other reviews. Game room has many older video games that do not work. Unless you get a "premium" site, there will be no gravel or concrete in the area where you will be exiting you RV so you will be tracking in grass, leaves and mud if it rains. Most sites do not have space for parking a toad or even your truck if you have a travel trailer or fifth wheel. There is no parking of any sort anywhere on the campground other that in the grass. Even the staff parks in the grass. Once again this place was built in 1979 so most of the sites are very small. I had a 40' fifth wheel and the front was actually sticking out in the road. Now for the inside staff, I initially parked my truck next to my RV and was told that I needed to move it and park in the grass 30+ feet away. I went to the office to ask about this policy and the owner was extremely rude even though I asked politely about the policy.

My husband and I had a great week at Candy Hill Campground. Everything was so well maintained and clean. All the staff we encountered were very nice. They take you to your site and assist you backing in. Great store. Stocked with everything you can think of. Great location with a lot to see and do in the area. Very peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely stay again.

We were so happy to find this year round campground for our escape from Maine in the winter! Everyone is so kind, friendly and helpful. It is a lovely setting and was exactly what we needed. We will definitely return!

Road noise is very bad, can't sit outside your camper and have a conversation, its so loud. Facilities are clean and well kept. Check-in went smoothly. Our problem occurred when my brother and sister-in-law came to pick me up and take me to a family event. Management first informed my wife that they wouldn't be allowed to pass the gate. Before we had time to advise them of that fact, they drove up and the manager very rudely told them to wait at the gate. When I walked to the gate to meet my brother, I met the manager who was doing some work near the entry gate. I suggested that he might consider being a little more flexible with his rule enforcement. After all they were merely picking me up and taking a quick look at our camper which they had never seen before. At that point, we would be headed out. His response (suggesting he was sorry I couldn't afford the required $10/person) was rude, unprofessional and left me promising to never return to his campground again. If you want to be treated with disrespect at a campground that has a lot of road noise and really is not very impressive, this is the place for you...

Due to a major snow storm i had to find a place to park my 5th wheel 21' trailer for 4 days. They were very accommodating and even plowed out my parking spot so I could get attached following the storm. Much appreciated!!

We had a wonderful and relaxing time here. The staff was friendly, the grounds well maintained and the "The Rockin' Trolley" was so much fun. The premium lots are large with nice patio furniture and a gas grill on a level concrete pad. The camp store is well stocked. The pool is very nice, there is also an arcade room. We will definitely be back!

Spent one night here with our 34 ft fifth we had a back in site with water and 30amps. Sites are not overly big and fairly close together. Approach to campground was easy not far from highway, sites are large and level with grass and gravel surface. No busy roads near by so might was quiet. Pizza delivered to the site.

This campground was very nice and well kept. The dog park was large and most of the sites were great. Unfortunately some people still do not pick up after their dog which is very annoying. Beautiful pool and nice laundry room. Only negative is that the campground is right next to a major highway but I would still recommend this campground and would go back.
