Massanutten Resort COVID -19

[escanoe]

So the outdoor pools have now been having "open swim" for going on a week. Anyone been there to see how its's going? Are they crowded (hopefully some aren't), is there a waiting list, do they boot you out after so long.

Personally, I think it is good the water park (especially the indoor portion) is closed from a public health perspective. But I will bet it being closed has put more strain on the outdoor pools. Sometimes I act like a Massanutten expert, but I have not yet been there in the summer. Thanks to anyone that can provide a report.

That is how I knew the pools are now available for "open swim." The question I am asking is how crowded are they and how are they rationing access if they need to for spacing services. Looking for an update from someone on the scene. Thanks

The pools have been quite busy this week. Pretty difficult to keep 6+ feet away from people in the water most of the time (Peak and Woodstone). Weekend did seem to have more people. The indoor pool at Woodstone is open and had fewer people in it when we checked.

They didn't seem to be limiting people in the pool areas.

Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but I appreciate the update. After RCI extended C-19 cancelable reservation to mid-August, I booked a week at Massanutten starting 7/31.

Maybe the water park will be open by then and the pools won’t be that bad during the week?

Did you check out the Regal Vistas pool?

The think I like about Massanutten is you can avoid common areas if you need to.

Indoor pools in northern virginia are opening so there is a chance that the indoor water park could open.

Didn't check the Regal Vista pool - but it probably wasn't as full. The outdoor Woodstone seemed to have quite a few people when we drove by.

Below is their most recent update on the WaterPark from the website. I think it will be a while before Virginia gives it a thumbs up.

Massanutten Resort - WaterPark Update
Update July 1, 2020

As our Commonwealth moves into Phase 3, we were very disappointed to learn that the Virginia Department of Health and the Governor's office will not allow waterslides, interactive play features, and splash pads to be open at this time, essentially everything a water park has to offer.

We are continuing our dialogue with our partners and officials throughout the state in the hopes that an amendment will be made in the next couple of weeks. We will continue to update you as we receive more information.

The good news is that most amenities throughout the resort are now open or will be opening very soon. You can find out all that there is to do by visiting www.massresort.com/hours.
