Campground was large with a variety of sites. Site was a little overgrown but not terrible. The AT runs right along the campground with a lot of great views from the trail. Camp store convenient and well stocked.

The closest coin operated showers only except a minimum of $5 in quarters so definitely bring cash. The campsite was great though, ground was soft enough to put tent spikes in with little trouble.

No water no showers no bathrooms. Water pump broke and these amenities were shut down and ranger claims no refunds are valid

Loft Mountain Campground is a beautiful, natural, place. We have camped there several times and look forward to returning. Deer and rabbits were plentiful this year. It’s well maintained. The personnel are pleasant. The lady in the office was especially helpful. Hopefully they will continue some First Come/First Served Sites.

Great spot in the heart of the national park! Only has access to a few trails so if you plan on hiking have transportation. Sites are spacious and private

Loft Mountain Campground was beautiful! The rangers did an excellent job of providing educational content for all ages. The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. With limited generator hours, it kept the campground quiet. It was a wonderful weekend!
