We had a wonderful trip! The campground is clean and the sites are very nice. Ours was ringed with shrubs which added a bit of seclusion. The restrooms are all placed. It would be nice if each one had a utility sink, but the walk wasn't bad. The showers were clean, although $5 for 10 minutes was a bit steep. I need less than half that time to get clean, so maybe the option for half the time, half the price? Saves on water, too. Katie ran the camp store; she's great and was super helpful! Lewis falls is by the amphitheater, a worthy hike and an amazing view. Also, Rose River falls is fairly close. By far my favorite hike in Shenandoah so far. Can't wait to go back!

Big Meadows is a clean and well run campground. Even though it was high season we saw few others on our hikes. The improvements to the Wayside are very impressive. The rangers could not be friendlier.

Big Meadows was well located for lots to do. Great walkout hiking network, ranger programs, camp store, food store (including hot food) and visitor center with excellent ranger support all convenient to get to. Campsite a delight as well.
