Only stayed one night, and did not use the amenities other than the restrooms... however the facilities and campground was clean and recently landscaped.

The campgrounds was nice and quiet in the evenings and overnight. Bathrooms were in good order as were the showers. The sites are not overly spacious. The area has some spectacular hiking and scenery.

Lots of space at the campsite; convenient to the restroom. Many amenities are within the park, such as restaurants, small stores, and a gas station.

I loved how close the lodge was. I loved how long the showers seemed. I enjoyed myself tremendously. My spot tho was in the sun without shade much of the day.

I enjoyed Site 44 very much. It has a lot of room for several tents and is relatively private compared to many other walk in tent sites at Big Meadows. Facilities are great overall.

Rangers were very helpful and understanding. Due to heavy rains (trail turned into a stream). I took an unplanned night off the Appalachian Trail to stay at a hostel and dry out my gear, clothing and boots. This put me a day behind my planned arrival (reservations) at Big Meadows Campground. Rangers were very understanding and found me another campsite to stay at since my campsite had been reserved by others for the night after my original reservations.

The site is considerably sloped down and away from the car pad and picnic table area. However, there’s a nice level area at the bottom of the slope at the back of the site that will fit a 6+ person tent. Not a great site if you need multiple tents. But for one tent, it’ll work nicely. There are neighboring sites on either side but no site directly across.
