Beautiful park, wonderfully quiet, far enough away from everything but close enough to get to anything you might need. Loved it and would look forward to returning.

Difficult using online permit website. Tried to pay at office on site but that option is only available for Backcountry campers. Strange

The campsites were very nice. The lantern hook was nice, bear box convenient and loved the level area with crushed limestone for tent setup. Hands down, this is one of the nicest camp grounds Ive ever stayed at. The bathrooms were great and I was glad they were functional during the cold season

pull through site was shared/split site, level and easy to access overlooking woods.

Our drive through RV spot was awesome and close to nice/clean showers and bathrooms. Gotta say that Big South Fork has the cleanest facilities weve been to in all of NPS. Overall, campground was full, but didnt feel crowded at all. Ranger Jordan was very helpful and friendly. We hung out at the river all day near Blue Heron and loved every minute. Great field near the visitor center for stargazing.

D40 is a private site, as the site pad faces the woods between D and C loops. This is a Buddy pull through, so if a camper is in site D39 when you arrive, you must back in rather than pull through. If a camper is in D40 when you arrive, you must back in D39, and will be rear end to rear end and the hookups will be on the wrong side. However, the sites are large, private and shaded.
