The county has a total area of 849 square miles of land, plus four-square miles of water. It is the third-largest county in Virginia by land area. Large portions of the county fall within the Shenandoah National Park to the east and George Washington National Forest to the west, and therefore are subject to development restrictions because of national protection.

Massanutten Mountain splits the central Shenandoah Valley as the German River and the North Fork Shenandoah River flow on its western side and the South Fork flows on the eastern. Adjacent counties are: Augusta to the southwest, Albemarle to the southeast, Greene to the southeast, Page to the east, and Shenandoah t the northeast. Two West Virginia counties neighbor to the west and north, Pendleton and Hardy respectively. Of the 22 zips codes used by the county, the most populous is 22801.
