It's always a positive experience at Big Meadows. Firewood is always available at the store and the bathrooms always clean. There're many trails to explore both within walking distance and by car. I recommend Lewis falls for the view, and Bearfence for those who like rock scrambles with great views.

Beautiful views on the AT. Big Meadows Campground was accommodating. We signed up and paid for the site on line. No where did it tell us when we hiked in that night we had to find the front desk cabin and register. The young ranger in the office was very unpleasant giving us a hard time for not knowing to register and threatening to move us because we brought food to our campsite that didnt have a bear box. While we certainly understand the importance of putting food in safe places the ranger needs a course in talking to people. Other than that we enjoyed our trip and would recommend it to others.

Very well kept CG with well spaced campsites. Most parking areas reasonably level. Bathrooms with flush toilets clean and well maintained.
