Beautiful woodsy campsites right on the Appalachian Trail. Park rangers were very helpful in suggesting other beautiful trails nearby with views of waterfalls.

Unclean bathrooms (please actually clean them, not just pretend to clean them.) Tall grass that needs cutting on aprons and campsites. Not fun getting chigger bites all over your legs when continuous rain hits and the grass is wet for the next several days!

The staff in registration area were very nice. It is so unfortunate that NP funds have been cut and professional positions cut. There was limited ranger presence and restrooms were not cleaned for the weekend. These budget cuts not only effect park employees but local businesses in the surrounding communities. We all need to support the NP system to protect our treasured NPs

Very hot. I wish there was electric hookup and I would visit more often in the summer.

Loft Mountain Campground is always a great experience for me. The rangers are helpful and will draw you a map to find your campground when you get there. There is also weather posted at the ranger station so you can be prepared. I would recommend signing up for the SNP text alerts in case there is bad weather while you are there. Our campsite was clean and the bathrooms are easy to get to and well maintained. There are lots of gorgeous trails nearby and a well run camp store where you can get emergency supplies.

Nice campground great trails quiet during the week. We were there in July for 4 days in rv. Only complaint was generator rules. It got pretty hot 1 of the days and our dogs got pretty hot. Running fans was not enough otherwise we had a great time.

Loved the site, the curved parking area made it super easy to pull in and out, and I appreciated the provided bear proof food locker. This site is close to the bathrooms, but a little far from the front of the campground and the Camp-store/showers.

Coin operated showers were expensive and impractical to insert 20 quarters into the payment slot while in the shower stall. The showers were also so small with no curtain, so dry clothes and towel got wet when showering.
