Had an RV site. Spot was slightly unlevel and had broken pavement by where the door was so it was a huge step up and down out of the RV. Otherwise, the site was decent and quiet. It would be great if other campers didn't walk through sites though. There are plenty of paths to go around.

The major complaint is the showers. When you pay $5 for a shower, the curtain should close all the way so your stuff doesn't get wet, there should be hooks on the walls to hang your belongings, but mostly importantly, hot water would be great. Even moderately hot. My shower was lukewarm at best. It was definitely invigorating.

When we were here, most of the visitor centers were closed, which there was no notice of. We did enjoy the drive and the hikes.

They do offer gas in the park, which isn't super expensive compared to the surrounding town. I'll happily pay an extra .30 a gallon for the convenience.

My teenage daughter and I just returned from an incredible six-day Spring Break trip at Big Meadows Campground, and we had an absolute blast! The campground was perfectly equipped with everything we needed—showers, dishwashing stations, plenty of restrooms, and a camp store stocked with wood and essentials.

Our site was fantastic and even included a dedicated bear locker for food storage, which made camp life much easier. We spent a lot of time at the Visitor Center; the staff there were wonderful, providing maps and tailored trail recommendations that led us to some unforgettable views.

The highlight of the trip was definitely Old Rag. It’s about an hour's drive from the campground, so I recommend getting an early start since it's a long trek—but the payoff is well worth the effort! We’re already planning our next trip back.

I had the best camping experience for the two days I was at Big Meadows Campground. The campsites are well marked and easy to find, there are clean, warm bathrooms placed in convenient spots throughout the campground.

There was an incident where a man helped himself to my firewood, but the Rangers took this seriously and he brought back my wood. The Rangers and others that worked there were friendly and helpful. I am a single female and I felt safe knowing there were good, competent people working at the campground.

Blackrock Summit was a delightful surprise, fairly close to my campsite. The views of Shenandoah Vally were so spectacular, I went up there twice.

100% a great experience camping there.

Wonderful site and clean campground. Did end up putting out a couple fires that had been left smoldering at the picnic area due to high winds and high fire danger going into the evening. Great place though.

Big Meadows Campground was clean, quiet at night, and family friendly. This site was great for a feeling of privacy, while still being close to the amenities of a larger campground. Be aware that the walk to this campsite is no joke. Next time, we will pack lighter. We would have preferred a tent pad farther away from the fire pit.
