Beautiful trails, gorgeous campgrounds. Be prepared , you are roughing it, no electricity no hook ups. But worth it. You are in nature.

A fun-filled weekend tent camping with my kids. The campsite was full so expect neighbors. Clean facilities and close to some great hikes.

Wonderful camp site. Fantastic staff. Great cool weather. I tried the $5.00 shower. After taking the time to plug in 20 quarters, I was very disappointed to have only ice cold water.

Quiet well maintained campground. FYI for planning purposes showers were $5 for 10 minutes

Toilets were not enough for so many visitors around site E189 and were very filthy.

Really enjoyed the ranger programs during the day and in the evening, including the star party. All were very informative. Needed to change our plans and leave early and were able to cancel our last night and get a refund. Food was excellent at both Skyland and Big Meadows lodges. Thanks for a great visit.

Overall Big Meadows Campground provides very good outdoors experience. Love this campground and staff does a great job making it welcoming place for families. On site showers are welcoming amenity after a day of long hike.

was at site 189 @ Big Meadows. It was very unlevel and site behind is very close- about 10 feet from our picnic table. Be prepared with multiple leveling blocks for driver side wheels and front end.

We really enjoyed Big Meadows. It has good amenities, showers, laundry, really nice campstore, visit center. We enjoyed the ranger programs. It was also nice to have recycling bins available through out the camp ground. Not all of the NP have them.

Great laundry facilities and friendly campground. My only complaint would be the camping site was not very level.

Staff was very helpful. Weather was great. Facilities well maintained. Hiking was great. Not that the Park Service could do much about it, but Gypsy Moths were quite annoying: their droppings were continuous and required extra cleanup after leaving.

Beautiful place to camp. Other than the LOUD, OBNOXIOUS drunks at 2am...
