Best kept secret east of the Mississippi. Gorgeous, cool, sunny. This is a mountain top campground at a hiking destination park - do not expect level 'strolling trails'. Do expect pristine mountain forests with lots of well-maintained trails (including the AT), deer, black bear, impressive waterfalls and breathtaking views which will make the effort worthwhile.

Very nice campground and facilities. Friendly helpful rangers. Camped at E153, which is a drive through spot with good shade.

Loft Mountain Campground is so lovely and quiet, with lots of bunny rabbits and deer and an extremely beautiful amphitheatre overlooking a mountain range -- especially wonderful at sunset! There were a couple of issues with power outages during our stay; there was no running water at the campsite for the entire duration of our stay (we got an email notification en route and stocked up on bottled water) and even the local campstore lost power for 36 hours or so. Just be prepared that you might have a slightly more 'rustic' camping experience if you do make plans to camp here.

I really appreciated the quiet no-generator area for my tent at Loft Mountain and I had one of the more secluded and grassy lots too.The camp-site and toilets were clean which was a relief. I enjoyed two 5 mile hikes and would appreciate a better map to show where the side trails off the Appalachian trail end up.

Clean campground with lots of space but each site feels very private
