Our campsites were beautiful and the bear boxes were so helpful for keeping our stuff safe (and dry!). The entire campground is pretty and fun, the bathrooms were always clean and stocked, the rangers were fantastic. My mom stayed in the lodge while we camped and loved it. Its great that there are lodging options close to the campground so that families with different preferences can still do a trip together. We had fun doing short hikes on the trails around the campground and through the meadow. Tons of cool birds. We heard owls vocalizing over our tent at night. Absolutely magical. This is one of my favorite places in the world.

We love Big Meadows every time of year. It is beautiful and unique. Every campsite is different and we have loved them all even when theyre closer together, we still feel like we have privacy and a pretty spot. Weve heard owls calling right above our tent on many occasions, and it is just magical. The rangers are always SO kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. We once locked our keys in our car during a crazy storm, and they were miraculously able to find help for us. A number of years ago, we went to a talk about the night sky at the amphitheater and we still talk about how cool it was. The bathrooms are always in order, the store has a great variety for when weve forgotten crucial items or wanted to pick up local beers. Highly highly recommend. This is one of my absolute favorite places.

A lot of good trails around the area. There was a fire van while we were camping so we ended up going to bed around 7pm and getting up to see the sunrise each morning. 30 min drive north to some good spots

The site was perfect for a tent and almost no one around. Wild deer all over and beautiful forested area. There is hot water at the restrooms which is a huge bonus during cold weather. There are showers at the front $5 for 10 min and a store that sells supplies including wood. Overall really nice campsite. Well be back!
