First Off buy wood elsewhere. The wood was wet and they know it based upon the conversation when I told them I went through 11 bundles for a two night stay and it was near impossible to start and keep going every time. This spot is close to the road and other sites. Also closest to Appalachian trail. Lots of people walking by. But also wildlife walking by. A six point buck walked up and stopped opposite the fire posing for the Christmas card! And a doe 20 minutes later. Otherwise it was good too.

Shenandoah National Park is my local park, and I have hiked, fished, and backpacked there for over 50 years. So I was disappointed to see how much neglect there was when I recently camped at Big Meadows on the E loop. First, both the mens and womens side of the bathroom closest to our site were inoperable, but there were no signs to tell you so. They just locked the doors, and nothing was done for the four days we were there. When we went to use the showers,which take 20 quarters for 10 minutes, I had set up and taken off my clothes before putting in the first quarter, only to find the machine was jammed. I had to put all my clothes back on and gather up my toiletries and try a different shower. Our site was not as described, lengthwise, which made setup of our teardrop camper difficult. At the lodge in the common room, all of the jigsaw puzzles were missing dozens of pieces and were mixed up in their boxes. The espresso machine wasnt working. Dinner was quite good the one night we ate there, but breakfast was awful. We have camped at MANY state and national parks, and this was just about the worst, unfortunately. I know the park system is hugely underfunded, but still, its time to upgrade some things here!

Great location. The camper pad was very slanted and hard to level on.

We were through hiking the AT and our site was right off the trail as I’d hoped. The draw back, the showers were all at the front and not convenient when one is already exhausted after hiking all day. Having the camp host drive around and offer rides to hikers w/o cars would make the campground perfect! Or a small shuttle that would could transport campers to the wayside.
