Big Meadows was a great campground. The sites were good size and easy to get in and out of. We loved that there was laundry facilities and firewood. Also, having fuel right in the campground was very helpful.

I230 had no dedicated tent pad and sat immediately adjacent to two other campsites with zero privacy

This campsite is on an incline. Not much flat area at all

Big campground, but we enjoyed it. Great spot for hiking the Rose River and Dark Hollow Falls trails. Both can be done as a single 6.2-mile loop directly from the campground.

firewood was advertised online as being open 24/7 but when we got there we were told it closed at 6 and then to use anything on the ground which was soaking wet

Big Meadows is a really nice campground in need of a few upgrades. The roads are scheduled to be repaved this summer, which is most welcome and overdue. The bath houses should be rebuilt to include showers. The concessionaire that handles the camp stores and showers should be kicked out, or at the very least lose the shower concession. The showers take half a roll of quarters for 10 minutes. The signage isn't all that great at explaining that, either. RV owners will just shower in their campers, but those in tents and through-hikers on the AT should be able to find something better than what this concessionaire offers.
The dump station needs a threaded hose connection for black tank flushing. Most new RVs include a water inlet for that purpose, but the black flush system provided is way outdated. Separating the fresh water fill farther from the dump station would be useful as many towable RVs would want to fill on the way in, and not need to dump until leaving. The present layout causes congestion.

Great campground! This was a busy campground with lots of others enjoying the National Park. I loved that I could hike directly to the AT and Dark Hollow Falls from our campground (among other excellent hikes).
