It was fine. Short walk from parking lot. Close to neighbors. Didn’t really like no check in, no camp host or anything

At Longleaf Campground, there are 12 primitive tent sites lined up along one side of a little meadow/tree stand, and 4 group sites lined up parallel along the other side. We stayed in tent site #10, which was maybe 100 yards from the parking lot/pit toilets (site #1 is closest, and site #12 is farthest away). Site #10 was located behind #9, but nobody was camping there which made our experience feel nice and fairly (but not completely) private. There was noise from the group sites one night, but otherwise this nice-sized campground was really peaceful, shaded, and beautiful beneath the pines. April is a gorgeous time to go!

We had a phenomenal time! The campsite included a flat spot to pitch a tent, a fire ring, a picnic table, and a pole with hooks to hang things on, such as a lantern. The campground is a short hike from the visitor's center and the entrance to the boardwalk trail. We will be back!

It is a nice campground but having to carry stuff was a bit of a hassel. We knew this going in but it still wasn't ideal. Would still go back. Sites were nice sized and clean.

Decent little campsite. If you stay in the back it's a bit of a walk but alm the sites are pretty spaced out. The first site is really close if you need easy access.

Clean campground at an awesome park! Sites are sort of close together, but seem fairly private when trees have leafed out. Site was well taken care of.
