Everything was great except the weather. It was extremely foggy on Friday, April 11th, and when we arrived at our campsite, it was snowing. We were happy that we had a campervan!! Definitely appreciated the heated bathroom in the morning!

Our site was beautiful and campground was nice. We would've liked to have known that none of the water within the campground was turned on as we would have filled up at the dump station prior to getting settled. Unfortunately, we had terrible weather. Would come again in warmer months.

Enjoyed our stay at Big Meadows. It is a good central point in the National Park. We enjoyed lots of deer around the campground entrance in the mornings and evenings. Bathroom facilities were also nice and clean. We did not use the shower facilities, so I can't comment on those. Close proximity to the Visitors Center and store. The only downside was finding potable water as a lot of the spigots were not turned on yet for the season. We were able to find one working spigot in another loop of the campground.
I would stay here again.

Beautiful campground with large sites and clean bathrooms. Great access to hiking trails.
The one thing we did not realize was the length of time it would take to drive out of the park since Big Meadows is in the middle and it is miles away from an exit.

We had a wonderful trip! The campground is clean and the sites are very nice. Ours was ringed with shrubs which added a bit of seclusion. The restrooms are all placed. It would be nice if each one had a utility sink, but the walk wasn't bad. The showers were clean, although $5 for 10 minutes was a bit steep. I need less than half that time to get clean, so maybe the option for half the time, half the price? Saves on water, too. Katie ran the camp store; she's great and was super helpful!
Lewis falls is by the amphitheater, a worthy hike and an amazing view. Also, Rose River falls is fairly close. By far my favorite hike in Shenandoah so far. Can't wait to go back!
