Excellent campground and our camp site was also great. Good southern exposure for solar panels and good northern view for you Starlink customers. But not a breath of cellular service on either Verizon nor AT&T! My WeBoost was no help, either. However, the Lodge is less than a mile away and had great WiFi in a comfortable lounge. This was helpful when planning our day or checking the weather.

We didn’t use the showers which are located outside the main campground loops, but the bathrooms were spotless.

Big Meadows is centrally located and convenient to many of the most popular areas. A great spot.

I love this NP and Big Meadows campground. We stayed in a TT for 2 weeks, we found plenty of hikes and went to the lodge a couple of times for Starbucks, dinner and just to sit in front of the fireplace. The rangers are very helpful, the deer are extremely abundant, the fall foliage was beautiful 😍

Big Meadows is clean and well organized. I had no trouble with noise. The bathrooms were well lit and even had hot water.

Campground was well-run and clean, with sufficient amenities (showers, store, bathrooms, etc). Staff were friendly. Only issue was on one of our three nights a large loud group partied nearby until 4am. Rangers addressed them first thing in the morning, but not overnight while it was happening.

Campground was great, and our campsite was even better. It was away from the road and surrounded by brush so it gave it a more primitive and secluded feeling.

Not all "walk-in" sites are off the roads. No enforcement of quiet hours. Very loud "campers" all night.

Big Meadows is a great campground accommodating a broad range of users. It is also central to the park so a good springboard to multiple hikes, some not even requiring a drive. Also, for those who are interested in star-gazing, the Big Meadows area offers a great view of the open night sky.

Very peaceful, great views and lots of deer roaming around. Only complaint was cars and trucks going well over the 10 mph speed limit. Trucks pulling RV’s doing the same. It’s unsafe and why the hurry.
Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

I always love coming to Big Meadows, and this time was no exception. After my six nights, I didn't want to leave. The park is beautiful, and the people are nice and helpful. And I love the wildlife, as well as the easy access to hiking. I can't wait to visit again next year! 😊
