This is a wonderful place to camp It is isolated and rustic but the facilities were cared for and the staff was helpful We were able to leave our small RV for 3 days and walk to trails we wanted to hike

Our stay was pleasant. We only stayed at Big Meadows for 1 night while traveling up the BRP/Skyline drive, but could have spent 2 nights because the CG facilities were nice (flush toilets, laundromat, campstore, nature center...) and there are many hiking & sightseeing opportunities in the area. The RV sites are all bigger than the listing on the reservation page, because they subtract 15' for a tow or toad vehicle.

Limited privacy. Would prefer quiet generators only allowed.

We always enjoy Big Meadows! Ranger Samantha was helpful and friendly, she made the rounds being sure all was in order. I was glad the staff came around checking for our safety.The sites are large and paved. The campground roads are beginning to show wear with potholes. The rules say no grills but lets be real the fire pit grill is just as greasy, so grills should be allowed. It is difficult to grill at the fire pit because the grill is so far from the heat. Note one cannot bring in firewood it must be bought three pieces of wet wood for $10. The bathrooms were clean as were the sites.

We were in site E190 and it was the best as far as being away from the crowd. Water was difficult to find when pulling in for check in. Showers are $5 for 10 minutes and wood is $10 a bundle. Wasnt expecting all the extra fees. Overall everyone was super friendly and the park is very clean and beautiful. Deer roam in and out of campsites, which the kids love.

Nice sites and great hiking. The downside is the crappy campstore firewood. The entie campground is a smokey mess due to green firewood.

Although we enjoyed camping in Shenandoah NP it would have been more enjoyable if the campsite had provided electricity and water!

We had an excellent experience at Big Meadows Campground. Hanging out at the Big Meadow at the end of the day was beautiful. The deer come out to graze, and the sunset was beautiful. Many, many hikes to enjoy. We really appreciated the outdoor lunch at Skyland, beautiful view. Can't wait to go back.

First time camping at a national park. So impressed with the facilities, especially considering the affordable price. We only had one night reserved and the nice people at the gate switched us to a site with two nights in a row so we wouldn't have to move.

Campsites were generous in size! The scenery was delightful and hiking trails accessible and well marked. We didnt have to drive far to find hiking opportunities.
