We’ve been the Big Meadows numerous times before and loved it. However the Ranger at check in was rude and he put us on guard for the rest of our stay. We decided to stay an extra night and had to change site and the 2nd ranger, she was wonderful. The prices posted online for showers and firewood were incorrect. So we choose to give up the nightly campfire for showers. But the bathrooms had been refurbished since our last stay and that was great to see. We did notice that they were not being cleaned everyday. So always check the seat and TP before you go. The garbage was collect routinely & there are bear boxes so there were no unpleasant animal encounters while we were there. The wayside was out of ice the entire time we were there so we got it at the lodge but be aware you have to bag it yourself and carry it up 2 flights of stairs. Something that may not be doable for some people. These comments are no reflection on Shenandoah as a whole. The park exceeded our expectations as usual. And other than the initial ranger at check in, all other rangers were great. This is just about our experiences at the Big Meadows campground.

I always enjoy walking around the loops and seeing how others are set up to camp.

A midweek visit to Big Meadows for 3 nights was a great way to avoid the heat in the valley! The campground was not at capacity, the bathrooms were very clean, check-in was smooth, and the two evening ranger talks were quite good. We did two loop trails right from our campsite and never moved our van.
