Was a wonderful trip. The campground is huge, but well laid out. It's also close to many of the best hikes in the park.

Big Meadows campground was a fabulous place to stay even on the busy holiday weekend. We tried the Rapidan Camp hike and loved exploring the compound where the president used to stay. Highly recommend! The meadow is a great place for young children to explore and take the lead in finding new paths. Our grandkids loved poking around and letting the adults follow them for a change.

We camped here on Veteran's Day (Tuesday) and the day after (Wednesday). The bathrooms on E loop were open on Tuesday and early Wednesday morning. They were closed sometime later Wednesday morning. Not a super big deal, just meant you had to walk a little farther for the bathrooms.
Many, many years ago, Big Meadows was open through the end of November. It had been closing on Veteran's Day for many years; however, this year they extended the closing to the end of November. Many, many years ago when we would camp at Big Meadows during the week of Veteran's Day, E loop and the other older (original) loops were closed. The loops were open, but the bathrooms closed.
The bucks were definitely chasing after the does.

SIte and Park are fantastic. THe showers on site are all pay. I was a little surprised because I am used to state park campgrounds where that is not the case but it was not that big of a deal and was well worth the $5 for them being clean and private.

Beautiful view, easy access to most anything you would need (i.e. gas, supplies, etc.). A short walk to a great hike - Lewis Falls Trail. Always a great deal for the cost of camping at a National Park. The rangers were very nice, helpful and attentive.
