Loft Mountain Campground

Everything was great.

We found that sites are not necessarily “RV friendly” although the reservation system shows a site for RVs - nowhere near level, hard to maneuver around trees, narrow driveways. We made reservation on-line but found the site we originally had was unacceptable. Luckily, other sites were still available. The second site was better, but still required a lot of work to level. The campground is a very nice, popular location, well maintained. Ranger at registration was very helpful.

Great campground! We were at 005 and we secluded relatively speaking so we loved it.

The sites were much smaller than expected and could definitely not accommodate large tents or multiple tents. There were also large rocks on the ground where the tents would need to be set up, so it was not a pleasant experience to sleep here. A more accurate description of the sites would have allowed us to be better prepared to stay here

I’ve been camping at Loft Mountain for almost 30 years. It is my favorite place in the world. Some specifics on this latest trip. The Star Party was awesome! It is wonderful to see you reestablishing unique and interesting ranger programs. Over the years we have enjoyed many great experiences through this program. As always the camp sites were great. My only complaint is the showers. For $5.00, I got lukewarm water and a half inch of water in the dressing area. See you in the spring.

This is a large, very busy campground with fairly small spaces, altho most have some screening with trees and shrubs. The rangers were all friendly and helpful. There were clean restroom buildings throughout each section of the campground. Each had a large sink outside for filling dishwashing tubs. No showers nearby but they are available for $5 at the camp store which is a fairly short walk from some sections, a drive from others. It’s a really nice store along with restrooms, showers, water bottle filling station. We had to buy head netting and firewood as soon as we got there because the gnats were terrible while setting up. The store closes at 5pm but everything else stays open. There are LOTS of dogs in the campground, at least one at nearly every space. We didn’t see any bears while there but everyone warned us about them and the need to put everything in your locked vehicle at night. Cell coverage is very, very iffy there. Just outside the campground, on Skyline Drive, is a small park store and restaurant.
You may be surprised that you have to pay $30 to enter Shenandoah Natl Park, in addition to the camping fees. But, the very nice and helpful rangers at the Skyline Drive entrance near Waynesboro let us know that for $20 we could get a senior pass which is good for a year. There’s also a military/veteran pass.

No issues with site or check-in. We came looking forward to having access to a shower but refused to pay $5 for 10 minutes in a dirty shower. And you have to pay in quarters with a non-working change machine.

Enjoyed my time there and rangers were welcoming. Restrooms need a little love. Lots of tent campers during storm. Was surprised no one came around to check on us. But it was an unusual situation.

We have camped at Loft Mountain for several years. This was the first time we had to make reservations and the process was not user friendly. We left early because of the rain. Several sites were flooded and there was no electricity at the check in or the camp store the entire time we were there. We tried to get a one night’s refund, but recreacrion.gov said we did’t have any reservations on file. But, obviously, we did since you sent this survey for our opinion of our stay at Loft Moj tain and thanking me for reserving through your site.

Nice campground. Friendly and helpful staff. Bathrooms were clean and open 24/7. Showers close early so had to go to Big Meadows one time instead. Keep in mind site 12 and the ones next to it have a steep and kinda slippery path to walk down. Would stay again but probably at a different spot.
