First Off buy wood elsewhere. The wood was wet and they know it based upon the conversation when I told them I went through 11 bundles for a two night stay and it was near impossible to start and keep going every time. This spot is close to the road and other sites. Also closest to Appalachian trail. Lots of people walking by. But also wildlife walking by. A six point buck walked up and stopped opposite the fire posing for the Christmas card! And a doe 20 minutes later. Otherwise it was good too.

Stayed here election night. Restrooms are heated and clean. Campground was in great shape, even with leaves falling constantly.

Cell service was reported to be available at the Amphitheater at Big Meadows Campground. We found it very spotty and intermittent (Verizon). Other than that, a lovely campground and location. Facilities (Lodge, Showers, Laundry) Buildings, in general, seemed in need of a little TLC. Can't argue with location and views :).

Nice space, close to bathroom. Clean. Easy access location after a long day hiking. Too bad no trees for hammocks.

Great location overall! Lots of sites, which is a plus and a minus. Bathhouse was clean. Deer EVERYWHERE, but didn't bother us or our dogs. Plenty of wood available for purchase, although $10 per bundle seems pricey.

Nice campground and not many campers at this time of year (early Nov). I was dry camping on site D144, which was pretty level and spacious. Many good hikes from campground including part of the Appalachian trail. Can walk to visitor center from campground. Internet is woefully missing. Walked to the amphitheater to make a call and experienced drop calls. Showers cost $5.00, which I thought was pricey and the water was warm at best. Only 1 dump site, which could be a problem when campground is full. Very beautiful park.

Climate change has shifted the seasons--my visit in November was blessed with warm summery weather along with fewer crowds. I also appreciate the clean, smoke-free air that made this month an ideal time to visit. Don't forget to thank all the friendly folk of the National Park Service!
