Even with the cut backs, the bathrooms were open and the trash was emptied. We've spent many nights up there and we love it. Let's start funding our parks again.

We were there the day the campsites opened for the season. Unfortunately we weren’t able to take a shower because of a fire in the forest and there was no power. I loved seeing the deer roam through the campsites in the morning and the many trees between the sites giving us more privacy.

Big Meadows campground's popularity is not for no reason! :-) It was a very enjoyable stay, the rangers are very present around the campground, making sure everyone is following the rules and keeping other campers safe.
May have been a one-off event, but there were high winds during our stay and I remember thinking "wow I can't believe there's no fire-ban," then upon returning home (getting phone service) and checking my email -- Shenandoah National Park DID have a full fire-ban the weekend I stayed and the rangers just failed to mention it & did not stop anyone. Still a 5 star experience. :-)

Great campground. Drive to Hawksbill for the hike. If you are there with a new moon and clear skies going to the meadow at night for stargazing is something you don’t want to miss. Saw lots of deer while walking the campground. Big Meadows Lodge has connectivity and is dog friendly. Be prepared to have no internet and just enjoy the outdoors

A perfect little campsite. The campground was easy to find, the parking was convenient, and the site itself was perfect. I only used a two person tent, but there was plenty of space for multiple larger tents if necessary.
