Operating Hours/Seasons

The park itself is always open, but the Skyline Drive which is the only road through Shenandoah National Park closes some portions during hunting season from dusk to early morning. This road also closes in inclement weather for safety reasons. The visitor center(s), on-site concessions, lodging/campgrounds and waysides are usually open late spring through late fall and closed during the winter. Call (540) 999-3500 for opening dates and times.
