All the conveniences one would need and very well kept. It's such a beautiful area and I would probably stay again if the opportunity came. Only down side is the sites are very snug and close together.

As big as the campground is, most of the sites have plenty of room. It wasn't very crowded during our stay, and it was quite peaceful.

We loved our stay at Loft Mountain Campground. As soon as we arrived, there was a doe and her yearling only a few yards off of our site. They returned several times during our stay. It's an hour south of Big Meadows Lodge on the drive. Though the campground was full, the amount of trees, vegetation, and elevation between the sites made it feel anything but crowded. The camp store is nice for supplies and showers, and just a bit down the road and for souvenirs is the Wayside. There were several old apple trees around the campground that were full of apples, and it was so neat to see the deer that munched on them all.

Spent a rainy evening here recently. The rangers at check-in were very nice and informative. A campground map was provided. The restrooms were clean and had plumbing. The only reason for a star deduction was that my campsite was VERY close to a couple so much that they had to whisper!

I pulled in after dark and it was very foggy. My campsite was easy to find and the bathrooms were pretty clean. Check in was fast and friendly.

This is a great campground. All of the sites were nicely spaced with the majority of them having trees that offered a bit of privacy from the neighbors. We stayed at tent site #14 which has a steep downhill to the site but was very private and quiet. The bathrooms and showers were immaculate. Will surely visit again!
