Arrived after closing on a very rainy night. Even with poor weather, the campsite was easy to find and was a short walk from restrooms. Restrooms were clean and the campsite was as expected.

Great campground in a beautiful location. Weve stayed here several times and always find the staff and rangers to be friendly and helpful.

@NiklasM7609ED9 · Camped on May 24, 2025 at Campsite #E144
Cozy campground with good facilities and spacious sites. There are a bunch of interesting hikes within a few minutes. The camp store is well stocked and offered everything you need.
@SwaminathC89BA · Camped on May 24, 2025 at Campsite #G181
Campground is great but avoid this campsite. This is very small and uneven. No food lockers as well.
@SwaminathC89BA · Camped on May 24, 2025 at Campsite #G183
The campground is well maintained and is neat. There are plenty of trails to follow. The Doyle river and jones river are great places to trek. The campsite is something that you should avoid. this is very small and has no food locker as well. Furthermore it is in a place where you will find a good place to pitch the tent. better avoid this site

We stay at Loft Mountain for at least a couple of days every year. It is always an enjoyable time. We have always found the facilities well maintained; and for the most part the sites are better separated from each other than at Big Meadows. There are several great hikes within just a few miles up or down Skyline Drive.
@KarenM8822647 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #G191
There is adequate spacing between sites in this pleasant campground full of songbirds. The rest rooms are clean & well maintained but we did not use the showers or even look at them as they are a long walk from the campground. We really appreciated the "utility sink" for dish water disposal. We were in site G191 in a 25 foot travel trailer & found it challenging to get level but we managed. It would be hard for larger rigs in most sites but we saw a few. It is mostly tent campers. Up on a ridge, the wind blew hard almost the whole time we were there. The staff was friendly & helpful at check-in. When trying to decide which campground, consider which trails you want to hike as this campground is down toward the lower end of the park and many of the most popular trails are in the northern end. Drive time between trail heads and the visitor centers is significant, but of course quite scenic. Overall, this is a great campground.

The campsites were well-maintained, and the views were very nice.
@JenniferL39143 · Camped on May 12, 2025 at Campsite #B82
Loft Mountain is a beautiful campground. What stands out is the amazing female host that stood out in the wind and pelting rain to help people at the entrance. The whole mountains was fogged in, but there she was welcoming people that made the hour drive up in the fog. Thank you.
@KevinL2650622 · Camped on May 10, 2025 at Campsite #D117
Beautiful location, great staff, quiet.
@MichaelF110976 · Camped on May 9, 2025
Great group site, especially if booking H2.
@PeterS7845234 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #G205
Clean and neat campsites. Bathrooms were well maintained. Spectacular location for people who like to walk/hike. Nice camp store with showers
@HollyC7934265 · Camped on May 9, 2025
Great experience. Thank you so much to the Park Ranger and the Hosts for all of their help. We really enjoyed our visit.
@JeffreyZ3E254C · Camped on May 6, 2025 at Campsite #E155
Nice tent sites that are reasonably secluded. Restroom and wash facilities are very good and clean.
@DavidA3218244 · Camped on May 3, 2025 at Campsite #D129
Our site was nicely located and spacious. Pay attention to all the notes in the Need to Know section-our original site F172 was too tight of a pull-through for our 20 foot TT and pick-up. The ranger was very helpful in getting us into an alternate site. Most of the sites are a pull-through, some are very shallow and short.
@JonathanG61769 · Camped on May 3, 2025 at Campsite #G199
Campground is much more quite than Big Meadows. Showers and full camp store are conveniently located within walking distance
@TheaW76E66205F · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #43
We stayed in one of the east sites on the AT, beautiful and quiet on Friday night, more neighbors on Saturday in early November. Loved the easy access to trails and sunset/sunrise views!
@RichardL555896 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #D113
A beautiful campground. Site was very nice with an apple tree. The park ranger was also very helpful and engaging.
@MIKEH4414321 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #E134
The site was large and well maintained. We didnt realize which direction the road, so it was a little awkward with our RV because the site is on the left side. It wasnt a big deal, as there was room between the driveway and the road to set up the griddle. We didnt end up staying around the campground much.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
