This site was not great for tents (very small flat or non gravel footprint to set up) and was shared the drive thru for the adjacent site (E175), where and RV was so we had to back in as to not block their exit. We were very close to the other campers. Not a good site unless you want both E175 and 174, then you’d have a huge area to yourself!

Clean, well maintained and Nice place to stay. Do not expect good internet connectivity. make use of internet at the lodge which is 2min drive away from campgrounds. There were tornado and thunderstorm warnings and severe weather during the time of our trip. So, Be prepared to face the nature! Enjoy !

Wonderful campground. We were in site F-202. The sites were well spaced out and our pull-thru was level. Lots of nice trails to hike. Dark Hollow Falls trail was especially nice - the waterfalls were amazing. The views from some of the trails (like behind the Lodge) were spectacular! We definitely hope to come back for another visit.

We had a great time at the campground. The sites were very roomy and the staff was very nice. They helped us move to another site that accommodated our camper better. It’s a beautiful campground and a beautiful park, we hope to come back and explore it some more.

We love this campground and come back every year. It's great to have lots of trailheads nearby and the facilities are all in good shape. Some of the other campers at the campground forgot that quiet hours go until 6:00AM and were making lots of noise at 5:15AM, but that's how it goes sometimes with camping!

My favorite place to camp. Whether solo or with my partner, I always have a great time. The sites are shady and pleasant, lots of hiking nearby, the meadow is amazing, and the lodge is great to hang out when the weather is less than perfect.

Wonderful landscapes, wonderful sites and close to the Appalachian trail. A place to see. And they have recycling bins so they encourage to avoid waste.

Each campsite should have a bear box. I was surprised when I arrived and did not have access to one. None of the EV chargers were working. As an owner of an EV who was excited at the opportunity to take it along on a camping trip, I was very disappointed to see the chargers at Big Meadows Wayside and Skyland covered with “out of service” notices.

Their pristine campgrounds had nice amounts of trees and shrubs between the sites. The bear boxes were huge! But careful not to keep chocolate in there because it will melt in the summer. We did not know that you needed 20 quarters for a 10 min shower, but they did have change machines that take $1 and $5 - so bring small bills or quarters!
Our favorite hike was Stony Man trail but stay on the Appellation Trail when it branches off. It's the road less traveled but still has stunning views. We hiked the Rose River Trail which was beautiful with 2 miles along side falls but very rough trail with lots of rocks and roots and 900+ ft elevation gain.
Our favorite watering hole was the Skyland lodge's outdoor patio (dog friendly and had a bar or two of cell service for Verizon). The lodge has a Starbucks in the lobby and a wonderful gift shop.
So many great overlooks, but we really enjoyed the Point Vista overlook just south of Big Meadows Visitor Center.
