Nice sites. Good bathrooms and utility sinks. Only issue was having to walk thru another site to get to the bathrooms; wasn't an issue this time as no one was in at least one of the sites. Very good hiking trails and access to them.

The sites had a lot of privacy. It is an amazing park. We hiked up to Hawksbill summit, down to Dark Hollows Falls, and did the Bear Fence Trail rock scramble. Beautiful hikes. Highly recommend them!

Love it! It’s a great campground, great location, clean facilities, really nice camp host. Unfortunately, we had some inconsiderate neighbors from DC in the next site, they eventually quieted down around 1AM. So, if you’re new to camping please understand if you’re up late having a good time joking and laughing that’s great, but everybody else in the campground is trying to sleep and wishing you would shut-up. Have fun quietly after 10PM. 🤫

I had a wonderful experience while camping on Loft Mountain. One morning I woke up to three deer eating apples from a nearby tree. The Rangers are very helpful and are willing to answers your questions. I wanted to stay an extra night at my site. The Ranger spent 30 minutes researching to see if my site was available. Luckily, it was.
The campsite restrooms were always clean.
There are 4 showers located at the camp store, which is a short walk away.
You have to pay $2.50 for 5 minutes. At first, I thought $2.50 was a lot for a 5-minute shower, but 5 minutes is plenty of time. The showers were always clean.
I do recommend don't forget to pack everything you need. The camp store is well stocked but expensive. For example, a can of bug spray is around $12.00 for a can you can purchase elsewhere for $6.00.
They do sell ice which is around $3.00 for a 5-pound bag and firewood is around 8 dollars for a small bag. Don't plan on walking around the woods to gather firewood. Any dry wood has already been picked up. So don't forget to bring your firewood.
I do wish the campgrounds would stay open till December.
I would like to thank all the Rangers at Loft Mountain for doing a wonderful job

Behavior of some should be monitored during quiet hours. Some do not comply.
