If you have never visited Loft Mt campground, bring extra leveling blocks or prepare to change to a flatter site!

Very nice campground. One warning about this site. Its basically a 'buddy' type site with the one directly next door. Thank goodness it was vacant when we stayed.

Still a great weekend in this campground.
You can hike Doyles river/Jones run loop or big run from the campground, hiking without driving is a big plus.

Beautiful campground, amazing views in the fall! Our spot (C092) lacked privacy, but that seemed to be the case with a lot of the sites due to leaves being off trees already. Surprisingly had decent phone service (Visible/Verizon). The camp store nearby was fantastic and had everything we could have possible needed (wood, camping supplies, souvenirs, etc)! Highly recommend this campground, just research the spots or get there in time for the first come, first serve spots around the edges.

Pretty good campground that is close to the entrance. That means there are a lot of cars coming in on the weekend. The area was a bit smaller than we anticipated, but pretty flat. We originally wanted to use a tent that connected to the trunk of the car. Wasn't able to do that with the way the car was parked so we just set up the 6 person tent on the pavement. We could still fit another car in the driveway. There are campsites on either side that are decently close so you can hear conversations, but there's still some trees and shrubs between us for a little bit of privacy. The bear box was very helpful and large in keeping our stuff. Nearest bathrooms are about a 5 min walk away.

We stayed at one of the tent sites just off the A loop. Unfortunately we had to park in a small lot and walk to the site, but it wasn’t a far distance so we didn’t really mind. For some reason our site didn’t have a tent pad like all the other ones which was kind of strange. Other than that, the site was pretty quiet with a nice view through the trees. The bathrooms were clean and pretty nice. We spent quite a bit of time in there because of how cold, windy and rainy it was when we were visiting!

We were at end of season and as a result it was cold, but we do love Loft Mountain. It's not as crowded as Big Meadows but has more support than, say, Lewis Mountain.
