Endless Caverns

Special note: They have a designated dog area but it was a long trek down and uphill to get there. There wasn't much grass. It was a lot of weeds and who knows what else. Our dog ended up getting poison oak and we aren't sure if it was in the designated area or on the walk back to the RV. We didn't take him on any of the trails. It was also quite a hike to the dumpsters.

Wifi/Cell reception: Our cell phone reception was great but the wifi connection was bad. It wasn't really usable most of the time. We mainly used our AT&T hotspot.

Customer Service: The staff in the office were great and very friendly. When we first arrived they escorted us to our site. We ordered a lot of packages from Amazon while we were there and they actually delivered them to our door. 

Our favorite things to do in the area: Visiting wineries on the Shenandoah Wine Trail and Shenandoah National Park. We previously posted reviews of the wine trail and national park.

Favorite places to eat: Jackson's Corner Cafe. It is a little coffee shop with amazing coffee. We bought a bag of Crazy Fox Coffee- Hoot Owl Blend. It is so good. Wish I would have bought two bags. They also serve breakfast, lunch and have fresh scones daily. They had great chicken salad. We tried a couple other places in town like Kathy's Cafe and Southern Kitchen. Their food was about average but nothing special. 

The essentials coffee, tea & dark chocolate ;)

Grocery stores:  There is a small grocery store in downtown New Market. We wouldn't recommend it. It is more like a gas station selection of food. We drove to Harrisonburg which was about a 20 minute drive to go to Kroger.

The Cupcake Company in Harrisonburg has the most delicious cupcakes. These are strawberry cheesecake, grasshopper, oreo cookie and red velvet. 

Recommended: Definitely. One of our favorite places to stay so far. It was beautiful and peaceful. 

There are beautiful deer and chipmunks roaming around and at night you will be surrounded by fireflies.

Shenandoah National Park

One of the lovely overlooks

When we decided to hit the road one of our goals was to go to as many of the U.S. National Parks as we could. So far we have made it to...1. haha That is right this past Saturday we finally made it to a National Park! To be fair we haven't even been on the road for two months yet.


The drive to Shenandoah National Park was beautiful. We took route 211 and entered through the Thornton's Gap entrance. It was only $20 per car and you can come back for up to 7 days. Shenandoah has 4 different locations you can enter through.  Once you are in the park you drive along the beautiful Skyline Drive and can stop at the different overlooks (there are 75 total). There are also different parking areas for the different trails. The full length of Skyline Drive is 105 miles and about a 3 hour drive. Some people just come to do the drive and stop at the overlooks.

We didn't do the full 3 hour drive. We maybe drove a couple hours and stopped at about 10 overlooks. We went to the Harry F. Byrd Visitor Center to get our National Park passport stamped. The Visitor Center was right next to the  trail we had planned on going to which was the Dark Hollow Falls Trail. We should have known this one would be one of the most popular trails since it had a water fall at the end. We had a hard time finding a parking spot and ended up in the grass.

A lot of the overlooks did look similar but they were all still beautiful

The Dark Hollow Falls Trail was only a 1.4 mile hike but it was pretty steep. The way back was mainly all uphill.  I was pretty excited to see some cool wildlife on the trail. The only animals we actually saw were a chipmunk and a giant rattlesnake. We weren't expecting that. Luckily there was a group in front of us that heard the snake and we all waited for it to go back uphill before we walked by.

I was really hoping to see a black bear on our drive. If you go you do need to check the alerts on their website first. Right now they have a lot of  trail closures due to increased bear activity.

If we have time before we leave we will go back and check out another trail since our pass is good for 7 days.
