Cam in 1 day late and Camped in the handicap site. THe grass was not cut for a very long time. Grass in our site was apx 12 inches tall. Weather was HOT which when combined with the tall grass created a huge issue with nats. Any movement in the grass resulted in massive swarms of nats. Fireplace sides were so tall there was minimal visual of fire. Price of wood was $1 per board which was very expensive and made it difficult to have a decent evening fire. $5 for a 10-minute shower was also very expensive. One shower stall in the mens facility was out of order however when walking in it was easy to miss the sign. When door was closed sign was outside and NOT by the coin machine. I put $5 into the machine and never got the shower. UGH. Very frustrating...

The site that I had booked did not have adequate space for my large tent. A small tent would probably have been fine, but this should have been explained at the time of booking. I ended up moving to a first come first serve site, which subsequently flooded during heavy rain, submerging my tent in about 2 inches of standing water.
If I were to return to Shanandoah, I would probably consider one of the other campgrounds.

The campground was in good shape once the grass was finally trimmed. The campstore was missing amenities (milkshake machine) . Price of firewood is outrageous. The showers had mold and mildew all over them, and they had a seriously foul odor. For $5.00 one would expect much better. $5.00 is much too expensive for 10 minutes of almost warm water.

Loft Mountain is the perfect getaway! It’s a smaller campground, without the hustle and bustle of Big Meadows. The amphitheater has spectacular views that are a must-see! It’s also centrally located to great trails!

We stayed in F170 and we were amazed how big the campsite was. We couldn’t see anyone else from our site. We had a travel trailer and it was perfect. The bathrooms were clean. The dump site was clean. The water tasted amazing. The only negative is the grass was way beyond needing to be cut. The bugs probably would have been less if they kept up on the grass cutting.

Loved the Doyle's river loop hike and the Big Run hike, but hiking from the campsite there can be tricky since the sign to get on the AT is tucked away. I also really enjoyed the ranger presentation on Bats Friday evening. Driving into the park on Skyline drive is very scenic and I would recommend Loft mountain campground to anyone who wants to try camping in the Shenandoah.

Great campground in the heart of Shenandoah National Park. We did not have an electric site but we came with a generator so no issues. Restrooms and showers were clean, visitor center good and the staff was awesome. Will definitely come back and recommend.
