Good views from the E loop as it backs to the AT and you can see mountains through the trees. There is a downhill slope; this site has a flat spot for a small tent though.

We spent quite a bit of time at the Big Meadows area during our week stay. Our stay involved driving Skyline Drive, some back country camping and lots of hiking. Big Meadows became a wonderful touch point. The campground was beautiful and well kept, and the facilities were very good. Rangers were friendly and helpful. We took in three ranger programs and all of them were great; one on geology of the park, one on heroes of the forest and then the star party which was AMAZING on a clear, moonless night.
For those who eat vegetarian foods, Big Meadows Lodge has a fantastic roasted vegetable pasta, lots of creative salads and tasty vegetable chili. The wayside is a bit more limited, but french fries are always fun.

We were doing a section hike of SNP and had made reservations for a campsite at Big Meadows. We set up the tent and went to the Tap Room and also the Dining Room for two wonderful experiences. The food was great and while we were there it rained and hailed! After dinner we went back to the campsite and enjoyed the companionship of other campers. One group was quite noisy but eventually they settled down. Excellent facilities and helpful staff.

Had the place almost to ourself during our nights there during the week! Even on the weekend it was quiet and peaceful—perfect camping weather didn’t hurt either!

As usual we loved camping at big meadows! E loop with gorgeous views! The only issue was one jerk that insisted on running his generator all the way up until 9:15 PM even after we politely informed him of the rules. He claimed that he was permitted to run his generator after seven for the purposes of air conditioning. That is not permitted and unfortunately the camp host on our loop was out of town at the time. Luckily they left the next day and we were able to to enjoy our our 5 nights in peace! Campsite 177 is literally 3 feet off the Appalachian Trail and I had a great time meeting up with all the thru hikers and discussing their journeys!!!!!

Great, clean campground. Our site was right next to the Appalachian Trail, which provided quick access to great hiking. We plan on visiting again in the future!
