The campground is pleasant, facilities are well maintained and functioning. Our site was fairly close to neighbors on both sides but was still adequately sized. Every night we heard owls. We often saw deer in the campground. The vendor provided showers are a nice option not always available at National Park Campgrounds and at $5 for 10 minutes reasonably priced. My only concern was the lack of enforcement of "clean camp" rules. Many campers left cookstoves, food service utensils and food containers on the tables while the site was unattended. This is alarming for bear and human safety. While no bear had been sighted in the camp for the season so far that will not remain the case if these rules are not followed and enforced. Quite disappointing for a National Park. Big meadows is centrally located with easy access to some of the best trails in the Park and the AT runs right next to camp. A NPS visitor Center, park store and cafeteria food source are in the complex. An enjoyable visit.

We just enjoyed everything. The site was big and private. Bathrooms were perfectly clean. Nice walking trails right from the campground. Only trouble was my husband's laptop was stolen. He forgot and left it on the picnic table overnight.

The big meadows campground was very accommodating and fun! I recommend it.

We had a great campsite with trees and a nice picnic table. I didn’t expect that the showers wouldn’t be free but there were restrooms that were usable.

The campground was very full for mid-week in May. There were a lot of generators running in the park. Our area didn't allow them but you could still hear them. Many of the trees around our site were dead, which was disappointing. Firewood prices were stupid, and the wood was wet - of course. At least it was oak, so it burned for a while.
The hiking in the area was very good, and there was abundant wildlife, considering the crowd. It was very peaceful at night - everyone was considerate. The Rangers were very helpful.
