Check in and out was seamless. Camp stores, Waysides and Visitor centers were well stocked, clean and staff were friendly. Had a wonderful time with a Twilight guided hike in the meadows. Campsites are large, private and easily accessible. Showers were $2.50 for 5 min. Wish they were cleaned and maintained better with the heavy traffic of hikers and campground visitors. However, like everywhere, they seemed short staffed. Cannot wait to visit again.

This is an excellent campground in a beautiful setting. Lots of great hikes from the campground and other nearby places on Skyline Drive!

Nice private site, but significant fog, so those camping need to make sure they give themselves enough time to get a sunny day.
Really appreciated availability of recycling bins.

We loved this campground. It was perfect for our small trailer. Bigger rigs may have problems finding a site. A lot of great tent camping. It's a great, central location to a lot of beautiful hiking. And it's right off the AT, so can hike without driving anywhere. Didn't see any bears, but a lot of deer. Showers are $2.50 for 5 minutes. Facilities were clean and maintained.

The campground and the area are absolutely beautiful. The staff and camp host were friendly and helpful.
Here’s the drawback for large RVs/campers. The CG sits atop a hill and many areas a sloped. Most of the sites are arched and the length of the pad as stated on the Recreation.gov website are the arch. This is not a true reflection of what size RV can fit on the site. They are VERY tight and many are sloped enough that a larger RV cannot raise or lower enough to be level. The site pictures on the website are NOT reflective of the actual site itself as they do not show the slope or tightness of the arch well. I made several calls to the NPS and CG before going. They all assured me we would have no issues with our 44ft fifth wheel. NOT SO! Thank goodness the camp host and Rangers were willing to make some shuffles to get us in a spot we could fit.
Beautiful area though and highly recommend it for smaller RVs.

We love Loft Campground. However, our site (G-201) was an unacceptable site for tent camping. Too hilly, without a tent pad, and there were huge ruts in the ground. We ended up pitching our tent on the driveway...which would have been way too close to our neighbors, had they not been our family.

The cart in tent sites were very pretty! There were a lot of bugs/spiders in the bathrooms and showers. I didn’t mind some but there seemed to be a ton!
