Reservations

Advance Planning Required for Peak Season Access and Lodging

Shenandoah National Park entry requires a fee, which is distinct from camping or lodge bookings. High-demand periods like the October foliage peak often see campgrounds and lodges like Big Meadows or Skyland fill up six months in advance. While park entry generally does not require a reservation, specific popular trails like Old Rag Mountain may require separate day-use permits during certain seasons; check official NPS digital services for current requirements.
