I’ve been camping at Loft Mountain for almost 30 years. It is my favorite place in the world. Some specifics on this latest trip. The Star Party was awesome! It is wonderful to see you reestablishing unique and interesting ranger programs. Over the years we have enjoyed many great experiences through this program. As always the camp sites were great. My only complaint is the showers. For $5.00, I got lukewarm water and a half inch of water in the dressing area. See you in the spring.

We found that sites are not necessarily “RV friendly” although the reservation system shows a site for RVs - nowhere near level, hard to maneuver around trees, narrow driveways. We made reservation on-line but found the site we originally had was unacceptable. Luckily, other sites were still available. The second site was better, but still required a lot of work to level. The campground is a very nice, popular location, well maintained. Ranger at registration was very helpful.

Well maintained campground. Convenient and well stocked camp store, including reasonably priced firewood. Clean and well maintained restroom facilities, and available showers. All personal, from rangers to store clerks were pleasant, helpful and efficient.
The only issue that could use some attention and would be a help to "tenters," is that since the general campsites do not have tent pads, it would be helpful to know when selecting/reserving a site whether it has a relatively smooth surface, or whether the surface has rock-outcroppings.
Otherwise a great campground.

I would have given Loft Mountain campground an excellent review. However, this time while we stayed at G191 the bathrooms were never cleaned during the four days we were there following the weekend. There was hair clogging the sinks and overall the bathroom was filthy.

Nicely laid out campsite with scenic views just a short walk away. Restrooms are clean and well lighted with hot water.
