Site was nice and bear-box was more than large enough, highly recommend this site for a weekend getaway.

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.

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!

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.
