Definitely talk with the rangers and take advantage of their local knowledge; they WILL make your trip better. Thos was our favorite campground for dusk-to-nighttime activities, including sunsets, deer watching, and stargazing. Evenings here were outstanding.
We did a daytime hike to Rapidan, and then went back to read about the Hoover administration and the establishment of Rapidan. It really extended the fun of that hike for us
The Dark Hollows Fall hike was lovely...we enjoyed the Rapidan hike more, though.
We scarfed down our burgers and a blackberry milkshake at the Wayside - don't miss it. It's definitely not oversold, which I presumed would be the case.
This campground was so great that we stayed an extra night, and that gave us the thrill of seeing fog roll in and fill up the valley in the blink of an eye. And then it rolled out just as quickly.
We saw several shooting stars and dozens of satellites. Very, very cool.
We really loved our stay here.
PS...Not kidding about the Wayside. It's legit.

Campground is centrally located in the park. Facilities were plentiful and very clean. Water also close by. Welcoming. Even though it's a huge campground, very quiet. The showers, even though $5 for 10 minutes, very hot water and enough for two people to shower consecutively with time left!

What a LOVELY campground! Big Meadows was perfectly situated in the middle of the park, allowing for easy access to both northern and southern features and hikes we wanted to see during our stay. We had been on the road for almost a week before arriving at Big Meadows and was very pleasantly surprised to see showers and washer/dryer facilities - these were a LIFESAVER. Campsites were private and spacious, we highly recommend the campsites where it is tent only and you have to walk your things back from the car. We stayed in site 42 which had a 50 foot walk from the car to the site which provided the perfect balance of easy access and privacy!! You can't go wrong staying here. We will be staying here upon our return!
