Great campground with private sites. Facilities are well maintained and campground staff was friendly. Surprisingly had 1 bar of service out there and was able to use my phone as needed, my site had very rocky ground - definitely bring a mallet to hammer tent stakes into the ground!

We had a wonderful time and absolutely
Appreciated the friendliness and helpfulness of the volunteers and Park staff. The one opportunity I do see in the campground is better marking of the trails out of the campground area. Once on the trail, markers were well placed, but getting out of the campground to the trail was poorly marked.

Loft Mountain is a great campground. Camp store is well stocked, the bathrooms are clean, rangers are friendly and welcoming, and we've never had any issues with other campers.

Campsite F162 is a great site. It's a bit of a walk to the bathroom (not super long). The spot for your tent is very level and has plenty of space for at least two tents. There is nice shade. The site has a table, fire ring, and bear box. You can see the site across the road, but this site is nicely shielded from the next door neighbors offering plenty of privacy. The site has room for at least two cars.

Loft Mountain is a great campground. Camp store is well stocked, the bathrooms are clean, rangers are friendly and welcoming, and we've never had any issues with other campers.

Campsite E133 is a good site. It's close to the bathroom but not so close that the light is bothersome or there is a lot of traffic through the site. The spot for your tent is mostly level. The site has a table, fire ring, and bear box. The site is not super shaded so you get to see stars. You could fit maybe two tents on the site comfortably - but we felt like that would be a bit cramped. However, E133 is VERY close to the site next door, so there is not a ton of privacy.

Great campsites but if you ride a motorcycle be very careful when pulling up to the check in station. It is off camber to the right and your kickstand may not extend fully to the left. It is very easy to tip over to the right at this point.

Very nice camp ground. RV barely fit on the pavement but it made it. The hikes were great.
Laundry facility and showers were very nice. I would come back and stay longer next time.

I took a 33 foot long travel trailer here. And as a newer camper myself it wasn’t too difficult to get to the campground from nearby roads. There wasn’t much signal at the campground but at the lookout 2 miles up the road there was signal. It was the perfect balance of seclusion while you were at your sight, but contact with the outside world wasn’t far away either. Amazing views and great proximity to hikes.
