Loft Mountain is excellent. Ive stayed here many times. Easily accessible, clean, quiet, and great views from the Amphitheater especially during sunset

Loft Mountain is a very large campground with numerous first-come, first-serve and reservable campsites occupying a plateau on the eastern side of Skyline Drive. The quality of the sites is uneven; some are large, others small, some have tent pads, most don't (the tent pads appear to be limited to campsites on the perimeter). Bathroom facilities are good but the water fountain nearest our campsite (A75) was non-operational. Curiously, the campground offered no places other than the bathrooms to clean dishes. Because we visited the last week before the campground closed for the winter, the camp store was pretty bare but is large enough to be well stocked during busier times. The true advantage of Loft Mountain is its proximity to some of the best hiking in Shenandoah National Park -- Riprap Trail, Blackrock, Jones and Doyles River Falls, Hightop, Frazier Discovery Trail, and many more offer hikes ranging from moderate to strenuous, affording grand vistas and in some cases fun scrambles. Recommendation on tent sites: A10-A20 on the western perimeter of the campground provide great views from their perch on the edge of the plateau into the Doyles River gorge. All in all, we found this a fine campground and plan to return. Indeed, other campers mentioned that they were perennial visitors and much preferred it over Big Meadows and Skyland farther north in the Park.

Gorgeous Campground with private sites. Can't wait to go back.

Great family campground with excellent hiking and wildlife viewing. We were very pleased to see that the overlooks on Skyline Drive are being trimmed so we can once more see the epic views from the mountains! We were sad that the restaurant at the Loft Wayside is closed because they had the best homemade ice cream on our last visit. The ranger programs at the amphitheater are always outstanding! We'll be back in the spring!
