Nice sites, quiet, Apalachian trail right there leading to some good trails including the falls.

The staff in registration area were very nice. It is so unfortunate that NP funds have been cut and professional positions cut. There was limited ranger presence and restrooms were not cleaned for the weekend. These budget cuts not only effect park employees but local businesses in the surrounding communities. We all need to support the NP system to protect our treasured NPs

Very hot. I wish there was electric hookup and I would visit more often in the summer.

Unclean bathrooms (please actually clean them, not just pretend to clean them.) Tall grass that needs cutting on aprons and campsites. Not fun getting chigger bites all over your legs when continuous rain hits and the grass is wet for the next several days!

Beautiful woodsy campsites right on the Appalachian Trail. Park rangers were very helpful in suggesting other beautiful trails nearby with views of waterfalls.

Camping at the Loft Mountain Campground was great! Check in was smooth and the place was easy to find. Ours did not have a bear box but we were told to lock stuff in our car and had no issue.
Nearby waterfall hikes were fun and relatively easy

We camped here for 3 days and 2 nights over the 4th of July weekend, and as expected, the park was pretty packed. Despite the crowds, our campsite felt relatively spacious compared to others nearby. It had a picnic table and fire ring, and while there wasn’t a bear locker, we stored our food in the car without any issues.
The site had some nice tree coverage on one side for shade and privacy, while the other side was more open. It’s just one spot away from the restroom, which was super convenient—especially during a busy weekend.
Sunsets weren’t very visible from our spot, but we made a short walk to the amphitheater for an amazing view—highly recommend doing that if you stay here!

Very good sites with easy access and amenities. The path to the bathroom was easily accessible. They may need more bathrooms for the number of people. Everyone was friendly but it did stay loud later than quiet hours.

Loft Mountain is our favorite campground in the park. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The restrooms are clean inside the campground and the atmosphere is rustic. Love it!
