Showers are $5 for 10 minutes (whack). That’s not included in the camp amenities covered in the $30 per night fee (no electric nor water hookup in that price, we just tent camped). When we arrived, we were notified we had to pick a different site due to paving which was disappointing since we picked the site out 6 months in advance (very whack). They claimed to have notified us via email (double checked, never got any emails) of this change. Just frustrating staying there overall. I’ve stayed in many, many campgrounds through the park system and this one just wasn’t it dawg

We recently stayed at Big Meadows Campground and overall had a good experience. The campground itself was clean, well-maintained, and in a fantastic location. The biggest highlight was having access to several incredible hikes directly from our campsite, allowing us to leave the car behind and immediately immerse ourselves in Shenandoah’s scenery.

My main frustrations weren’t really with the campground itself, but with circumstances surrounding our stay. Quiet hours after 10 p.m. didn’t seem to be observed by many campers, and there were several nights when noise carried well beyond the designated time. If you’re hoping for complete peace and solitude, it’s worth remembering that this is a large, popular front-country campground with many visitors.

There was also an active paving project during our visit, and the construction noise was noticeable at the beginning and end of our stay. To be fair, that’s a temporary issue and not something the park can necessarily avoid when maintaining infrastructure.

Looking back, I think I came in expecting something closer to a backcountry camping experience, which wasn’t realistic. Big Meadows is a busy campground that serves a lot of people, and judged on those terms, it does a good job. If you go in with appropriate expectations, you’ll find a clean, convenient basecamp with outstanding access to some of the park’s best hiking.

We had a relaxing, enjoyable time in the campground. This was our sixth annual stay in June. Our children and grandchildren join us for the short week. The kids hike trails and my wife and I read, relax and build campfires.

Hawksbill hike provided great views. It was a treat to attend the worship service provided by A Christian Ministry in the National Parks on Sunday morning at the amphitheater, followed by brunch at the restaurant.
Despite campground paving and limited site availability, registration went smoothly and the clerks were very accommodating.

It's very convenient to stay at the park, lots of food options in the park as well,but a walk to site didn't provide much privacy as I hoped. Showers were out due to electricity issues and only one sink in a common bathroom.

Rangers and park staff were friendly and helpful. Camp site is intuitive and well-kept. I didn't realize each campsite would have a picnic table and firepit, but that's probably something I missed when booking. This was my first camping trip to Shenandoah and I really enjoyed it. It's my third National Park this year!

The campground is clean with birds serenading and lovely trees. Tall rigs need to be cautious of low hanging branches.
