Great spot in the heart of the national park! Only has access to a few trails so if you plan on hiking have transportation. Sites are spacious and private

Loft Mountain Campground is a beautiful, natural, place. We have camped there several times and look forward to returning. Deer and rabbits were plentiful this year. It’s well maintained. The personnel are pleasant. The lady in the office was especially helpful. Hopefully they will continue some First Come/First Served Sites.

No water no showers no bathrooms. Water pump broke and these amenities were shut down and ranger claims no refunds are valid

Campground was large with a variety of sites. Site was a little overgrown but not terrible. The AT runs right along the campground with a lot of great views from the trail. Camp store convenient and well stocked.

The closest coin operated showers only except a minimum of $5 in quarters so definitely bring cash. The campsite was great though, ground was soft enough to put tent spikes in with little trouble.

Loft Mountain is our favorite campground in the park. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The restrooms are clean inside the campground and the atmosphere is rustic. Love it!

Very good sites with easy access and amenities. The path to the bathroom was easily accessible. They may need more bathrooms for the number of people. Everyone was friendly but it did stay loud later than quiet hours.

Camping at the Loft Mountain Campground was great! Check in was smooth and the place was easy to find. Ours did not have a bear box but we were told to lock stuff in our car and had no issue.
Nearby waterfall hikes were fun and relatively easy

We camped here for 3 days and 2 nights over the 4th of July weekend, and as expected, the park was pretty packed. Despite the crowds, our campsite felt relatively spacious compared to others nearby. It had a picnic table and fire ring, and while there wasn’t a bear locker, we stored our food in the car without any issues.
The site had some nice tree coverage on one side for shade and privacy, while the other side was more open. It’s just one spot away from the restroom, which was super convenient—especially during a busy weekend.
Sunsets weren’t very visible from our spot, but we made a short walk to the amphitheater for an amazing view—highly recommend doing that if you stay here!
