We loved this campground! The walk-in sites all around the perimeter were so great, we felt completely happy in our beautiful secluded spot. Also very much appreciated our very own bear box, and the excellent pay-per-use showers/laundry facility next to the camp store.

Loved the campground! It was very clean and the store was convenient and well stocked. Things to know- the shower prices changed, you need $5.00 of quarters now. Also beware where you set up the tent. There is an incline that’s not that noticeable. Also the bathroom just has one stall. The line can get long in the morning.

Campground was clean, sites are nicely dispersed, and a great location within the park.

We stayed at campsite G186 for 5 nights, the site area was very private, enclosed, and larger than most sites around us. However, the entire site area is on a steep slope! Tent pad flat area at the top of the sight overlooking the neighbors would probably fit a 4 person tent. Otherwise if you are in a larger tent you will be on a slope. No food storage box at this site when we were there, most other sites had one. Directly across from bathroom and water.

We had a good trip! The weather was beautiful and the campsite was clean and tidy. I would recommend going during the week early in the season as it’s very peaceful. The campground was almost empty during the week in early May and filled right up Friday night till Sunday. Overall a great experience!

Beautiful location at the top of the mountain. Very friendly, helpful staff. Clean warm bathrooms. Showers nearby. Many sites are not level. Some with limited usable space. Very quiet. Easy access to great hiking.

I love Loft Campground!! Still needs some maintenance like most federal campgrounds but adding bear boxes which is great!!! The guy at the check in was really nice. The camp store still one of the best stocked in Shenandoah. Showers are very clean and hot water!!!! The AT runs right on the perimeter so you have access to great hiking without leaving the campground. My favorite campground in Shenandoah.

Really enjoyable campground with lots of privacy in many of the sites. The bathrooms were clean and the camp store was stocked. The campground is absolutely silent at night and despite the fact that it was very cold, we couldn't hear any generators during the generator-allowed hours. Lots of deer around the campsites. Highly recommend!

E142 NOT SUITABLE FOR A TENT! The only area available to put a tent had a number of large rocks. You’ll either damage your tent or sleep with a boulder in your back.
