Our site was sooo different than most everyone else. We had a back in site, when most of drive-thru and our fire pit was kinda up and into some woody area and not a very good setting for chairs and a fire. We did enjoy that we were right across from the restrooms though! We loved all the rabbits and deer throughout the campground and in our campsite! We liked Loft Mountain but prefer Big Meadows!

Beautiful campground. Sites are spread out and are nicely tucked into the trees to give a little privacy. Facilities are well maintained. Park rangers were very friendly and helpful. The campground is about 40 minutes from any sort of town, so plan to bring everything you need with you.

We love Loft Mountain. Our campsite was great, surrounded by raspberry bushes. We were happy that programs are back at the amphitheater. It is a nice walk from the campground. Our only disappointment is the hours of the camp store. Our camp hosts were very friendly.

Evidently you don't actually need a reservation at this campground. I made a reservation months in advance for a spot specific for my physical and mental needs. When I arrived, I was informed that "a guy" was "squatting" in my reserved spot. He was "pretty dug in" so the ranger "had saved a spot" for me across the way. A terrible spot in between the bathroom and a group of screaming teenagers who stayed up all night yelling. It was really hard to hike back to my car after getting two hours of sleep.

The campground is beautiful, lots of trees and more songbirds than I have ever heard at once as we woke up in the morning. Amazing! The bear box was plenty big for all our food/toiletry items and a nice picnic table. This particular campsite was not very private. It shares space with the site beside it, but that site was vacant while we were there so it wasn’t an issue - would be a good site for two groups wanting to camp beside one another. This is a highly trafficked area of the campground near the entrance of the campground so there were a lot of cars passing by. While very convenient near the bathroom and water, there was quite a bit of pedestrian traffic cutting through our site to get there. It was very loud all night and not at all restful. Quiet hours were not respected or enforced. Perhaps we just chose the wrong site, but not the quiet getaway we had hoped for. We will look to a different area of this campground next time we are in the area.

first of all, great customer service. This wonderful ranger lady officer informed me that my reserved campsite could potentially be small for my group and offered to change if I didn't like it. Turned out to be true, came back, changed my location, and VIOLA! very kind and supportive. Unfortunately, we had unruly neighbors that night and couldn't sleep but I wouldn't let this ruin my amazing overall experience.

Great spot for camping in the southern end of the park. We enjoyed the stay and the host were great. Wish we got a spot with more grass.
