Harvest Hosts Review: Shenandoah Caverns – Quicksburg, Virginia

June 18, 2026

Overview

After leaving the Moonlight Drive-In, our second Harvest Hosts stop took us to Shenandoah Caverns in Quicksburg, Virginia. Even though we chose not to tour the caverns themselves (we're both a little claustrophobic), this turned out to be a wonderful overnight stop that offered beautiful country views and a peaceful place to spend the night.

Harvest Hosts guests park in a designated parking area separate from the daytime visitors. Once the business closed for the evening, we had the area almost entirely to ourselves except for one van camper parked nearby. Looking out across the open field, we were treated to the sight of a herd of deer running and playing through the cornfield across the road. It was one of those simple moments that makes RV travel so special.

When we first arrived, there was an unpleasant odor in the air. We assumed there must have been farm animals somewhere nearby, although we never actually saw any. Thankfully, it wasn't enough to take away from an otherwise enjoyable stay.

Although we skipped the cavern tour, we spent time browsing the displays inside the welcome center and enjoyed burgers and milkshakes from the café. Both were excellent and made for a relaxing afternoon before settling in for the evening.

Our Experience

This was an easy, quiet overnight stop with plenty of room to park. There are no hookups, but generators are permitted, making it a convenient option for self-contained RVs.

The setting was peaceful, the scenery was beautiful, and watching the deer at sunset became the highlight of our stay. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day on the road.

A Few Things to Know

No hookups are available.
There was a noticeable odor when we first arrived, likely from nearby farm operations, although we never saw any animals.
If you're uncomfortable in confined spaces like we are, you can still enjoy the property without touring the caverns.

Would We Stay Again?

Absolutely. While we didn't experience the caverns themselves, we thoroughly enjoyed everything else about our visit. Between the peaceful setting, beautiful scenery, delicious food, and relaxing atmosphere, this was a wonderful Harvest Hosts stay and one we would gladly visit again if our travels bring us back through the Shenandoah Valley.
