Trail Maps

With over 500 miles of trails, choosing your next hike in Shenandoah can be a little daunting. Not to fear! We've put together trail maps with recommended day hikes for different areas of the Park. Print them out, or download the accessible PDFs to take with you on your mobile device. Note that all of these maps are intended for short, day hikes only. If you're planning a longer backcountry hike, we recommend purchasing a topographic map at one of our visitor centers or online from the Shenandoah National Park Association or the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC).

Campground Maps

Camping in one of our campgrounds is an amazing experience with the right preparation. These maps show where each numbered site is and provide an overview of the amenities available at each campground. They are listed geographically, going from the northern section of the Park to the southern section.

Mathews Arm Campground
The nearest campground for those entering the Park from the north. It is next to a nature trail and the trail to Overall Run Falls, the tallest waterfall in the park. Elkwallow Wayside, with camping supplies and food service, is two miles away.

Big Meadows Campground
Near many of the major facilities and popular hiking trails in the Park. Three waterfalls are within walking distance; Big Meadows, with its abundant plant growth and wildlife, is close by.

Lewis Mountain Campground
Located off mile 57.5 of Skyline Drive, Lewis Mountain is the smallest campground in the Park.

Loft Mountain Campground
The largest campground in the Park. The campground sits atop Big Flat Mountain with outstanding views to east and west. Two waterfalls and the trails into the Big Run Wilderness area are nearby.

 

Official NPS App

Our mobile app is another great wayfinding option, featuring a map of the hiking trails, overlooks, services, and other points of interest in Shenandoah National Park, as well as all 400+ sites in the National Park Service system. Just remember to download offline content before arriving at the Park, as cell reception is unreliable.
