If they needed any help getting it going I'd be there. Says Levi Pogue Shenandoah Acres Campground is OPEN!! We were there over the July 4, 2009 holiday. Had a great time. Very clean, friendly, quiet. The lake and other stuff are not open now but they are looking at next year to make improvements. Met a couple of the owners and the Manager - Mike, VERY nice guy. Listened to Bluegrass music Saturday, ate some awesome food. They are just starting this back up. WE can help them by going there to camp. Tell everybody. Mike said a website will be up soon as they have just opened a few weeks ago. Says Doug It is open again- at least the campground is, not the lake (too high of liability). New bath house (with showers)nothing fancy but it is a great alternative to Sherando when it is full- 10 miles away. Says Jeff Look in the News Virginian (waynesboro paper 6-26-09). The campground is opening up. Says Becca OMG!  My dad took us there and we camped.  We had the time of our lives as kids.  I came onto this site to get information so that we can take a family trip w/ my kids and now I learn it's GONE!  This is just so very sad for me.  Says Karen Va Beach VA I grew up with going there as a child and then with my own children now I want to take grandchildren only to find it CLOSED.What is this world coming to - no wonder the younger generation gets into so much trouble - they don't have places like this anymore. Says Wanda Cooper I'm sooo sad to hear that Shenandoah Acres has closed.  It was such a fun place for children.  I was hoping to come visit with my family and friends.  It's just not another place like it in Virginia that I know of.  Really do miss it !!!! Says CarolWoodson I used to love going to the acres, me and my brothers used to save all winter for spending money and man did we have a ball... the giant slide, the dives, the beach house, the general store, the arcade the late summer nights sneaking into the lake after hours with the new friends we met Man would I love to reopen this wonderful place ........... Says Terry L It is really a shame that this resort has been shut down. Soon there will no place left to take the family for a real down home outing. Says Judy Sorry to hear shenandoah acres has closed?It has always been a fun place to visit and all of the campers seemed so happy..I hope it will re-open in the future. Says Anonymous I grew up near the ''acres'' and lifeguarded their for 5 summers during the mid to late 70's.? The original family owners sold after the liability insurance forced them to remove all the pieces that made the acres what it was i.e., cable, diving boards, big slide, the top.? They put ina big slide on the backside of the tower called the Pink Zipper the year before selling, but that did not work as far as drawing crowds. Says Anonymous Gosh! I don't beleive it. That is where my dad took us in the summer for our vacation with him. I had fond memories there. Why did it close? was it family owned? is it for sale? What, I hope it's not gone forever. Says S Boggs Closed, you've got to be kidding. I have been looking forward to taking my family for years. The kids are finally old enough to enjoy the trip. I am down. Very sad, my family used to travel to this area often. When did it shut down? Says Anonymous Wow, this is a SHOCK!! I haven't been there in a while but I never thought it would be closed. I remember when I was little me and my sister used to pay to ride the horses like twice a day I loved it. I also loved the big slide and I waited so long to be tall enough to ride on the thing you hang on to and glide down til you let go it was awesome. I'm really gonna miss it I wish there was some way to have it reopened...:( Says Chrissy We really miss it alot and dont get up that way to see if someone has reopened it as campground or time share dose anyone know Says JEREMY Did not know that it was closed until I read so on this site. What will become of the property now.....and does anyone know why it was shut down?? Says Scott: I am so disapointed!My father brought me to shenandoah acres many years ago 1955-56.I found pics from that trip last week and wonted to revisit a happer time.so sad that I didn't get there at least one more time. Says diane busch (bowers) I was so sorry to hear it closed. My ex-husband and I took our kids every year. Was hoping my boyfriend and his daughter could enjoy it this summer, since we finally got a camper!! Sorry to see you go. Says Pam I read a review of Shenandoah Acres on here. I was shocked to hear that it was closed. My parents use to take my sister, brother and myself there every summer when we were little. It really was a great place. I was now hoping to be able to go there with my husband, who has never been there and to one day take our children, but I guess we will have to find a new safe place to take our children....It really is a shame to know that it is no longer open!
