Not all "walk-in" sites are off the roads. No enforcement of quiet hours. Very loud "campers" all night.

Clean, and nice respite from backcountry camping! Note that the showers are $5/10 minutes. Easy walk to the lodge to grab some coffee or a meal, and walking distance to the Wayside for supplies.

This review is for Camping Site 008, Generator Prohibited (TENT ONLY NONELECTRIC): Nice and flat - plenty of good places to pitch your tent. Make sure you check campsite map and fully make yourself aware of how far Site 8's designated parking place is: It's not close, you will be hauling your gear. Very close to firewood sales and showers buildings. Also close to restrooms. Great site for hammocks, and plenty of room to not feel squeezed-in; this site can handle the largest of tents with room to spare.

Really loved the campsite. Everything was accessible. Just make sure you use google maps to get to the place cause Apple Maps takes you to a wrong location :/

Beautiful campground, excellent facilities, friendly and super-helpful staff. The walk-to tent sites in the woods are highly recommended for those wanting a bit more seclusion. The nearby lodge with restaurant and a downstairs bar that has live music is a wonderful retreat for those rainy foggy nights - but go early as the wait for a table can be long if busy. Prices were very reasonable in the restaurant. The staff in the registration hut were always ready with suggestions, maps, directions and friendly advice.

I would choose a different tent campsite next time. The one I had was too close to the main entrance and too far from the designated parking site so was noisy and a bit inconvenient to haul stuff from the car. However, the facilities at the campground and access to trails was great.

Great location. I was afraid that the site would be in the sun since it looks like a "big meadow" field from Skyline drive, but was very pleasantly suprised to find a very well shaded camping area.
