Tremendous area for hiking and fantastic views. I found that the picnic area at the Big Meadows Campground was great for astronomy and was only a small hike from my campsite. That avoided driving out to and back from the Big Meadows area at the entrance, so did not disturb other campers. Camp sites were well maintained with each having a fire pit and picnic table. There were plenty of clean restrooms. The staff was great and very attentive and helpful with people asking questions.
As warned, there is no cell service in the campground. (Switch to Airplane Mode to avoid draining your phone battery while it desperately searches for signal). The two places that do work are at the peak of the Blackrock Trail (a short hike up from the Lodge area) and on Skyline Drive at Big Meadows.
Suggestion, the showers and laundry should switch to credit card readers rather than quarters. There were several people who were caught by surprise by this (...read all of the campground information in advance...).

Love the spots here. Many other campgrounds are too open. Here they’ve let kept the trees and bushes in a way that isolates the sites a little better. Really well kept grounds and friendly staff.

The camp sight was really close to many good hikes. Also, the camp store was very well stocked and helpful

Really excellent camping experience. Was worried that the campgrounds would feel too dense but the layout is excellent and it’s like camping somewhere a quarter of the size. We’re already planning another trip

We stayed at Big Meadows and it was great! The grounds were well kept, showers were great. Our only recommendation would be having a bear box for each camping site.

Rangers don’t monitor whether campers follow the rules. Neighborhood campers were up until wee hours drinking and talking loudly. Two nights in a row. Not a pleasant camping experience
