Skyline Drive
Lewis Mountain Area, VA

The Lewis Mountain facilities date from 1940 when the initial park facilities were being completed. It is extremely popular for camping and features cabins, tent sites, and a camp store. Of note is the fact that it was built and operated by a concessioner as a segregated facility for African Americans. Shenandoah's facilities closed during WW II and after the war, a federal policy was issued requiring full desegregation of all concession facilities in national parks.
