If you are looking for a quiet, well maintained, relaxing RV Park nestled at the foot of a mountain range in the Shenandoah Valley, this park is for you. YES, this park is everything the advertisements say it is and more. My wife and I were impressed by how quiet and in touch with nature the experience was. The staff is friendly and helpful. Frank and Sheri, the camp hosts expecially. Frank is constantly insuring everyone is having the best experience possible. They are both friendly and helpful. Of course, the experience is not complete without a tour of the Endless Caverns. Highly recommend this RV park.

You could easily spend 2-3 hours viewing the museum (with 40-minute movie), the battlefield, and the Bushong Farm buildings. Also be sure to check out the two overlooks where you get a nice view of the Shenandoah River.

A total of 257 cadets from VMI participated in the battle with 47 wounded and 10 killed because of the fighting. The museum features exhibits, dioramas, artifacts from the battle and an Emmy-award winning film called Field of Lost Shoes shown hourly in the theater. Outside visitors will enjoy three hundred acres of core battlefield property accessible by foot or car. The New Market Battlefield State Historical Park offers two walking trails across the farm and battlefield terminating atop Bushong's Hill and two scenic overlooks 100 feet above the Shenandoah River. Historically-named features include the Field of Lost Shoes, a wheatfield so named by cadets because of lost footwear, and the Fatal Orchard, a dangerous part of the battlefield next to the farm. Finally, the Bushong Farm features seven buildings to explore. The two frame houses were witnesses to the battle that day. Exhibits inside tell the story of what life was like in the Shenandoah Valley before and during the Civil War.
