The campground location and essential amenities are great for what we want to do at Loft Mountain. We like to hike, view nature, and relax with a simple camping experience. We enjoy the views at Loft, and the proximity of easy access to many hiking trails. There is a well-stocked camp store within walking distance of the campground, and all the basics are there if needed. The bathrooms are fine. Pay showers are fine. If what you want is a non-electric, quiet old-style campground without noisy neighbors, this would be a great choice!

Loft Mountain is a beautiful campground with spacious campsites and beautiful views. It is distant from some services (gas, propane)

Been camping in Loft Mountain since I was a baby in the 80’s. My fave campground on the east coast.

The campground is pretty, but sites are very narrow for campers and there should be a disclaimer that sites on the left side of the road require your camper to open towards the street rather than the grassy area, as it is too narrow to turn around anywhere. Showers are a drive and outside the campground and are a whopping $2.50 for 5 minutes and the showers in the men's and women's bathrooms were disgustingly dirty. Campsite bathrooms were much cleaner. Water access is sparse through the campground too. We ended up having to fill up gallon jugs in the utility sink near the bathroom. Other than these unusual inconveniences, the trees were beautiful and the deer were everywhere. It was a generally enjoyable stay.

Very quiet and peaceful. Arrived in time for an evening walk and enjoyed the beautiful views. The campsites were well spaced and very clean. We did not use any of the facilities.

We had an awesome stay! Campground was clean and check in process was organized. Site was well taken care of. Bathrooms were clean and we really appreciated that they were heated bc the temp really dropped at night. Recommend Doyle's Falls hike nearby. Camp store was also cleanly and well run. Thanks and we'll be back again!

Campsite was great. Ours did not include a Bearproof storage facility for food, so we had to keep food in the car. That was not a major consideration for us, but it might be for others.

Great camp sites that feel private with hedges and trees. Plenty of room for a large tent with a picnic table and fire pit.
