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.

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.

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.

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!

Big Meadows Campground in Shenandoah National Park was a lovely place to spend the weekend camping in the late fall. The campground was quiet, well maintained, and the staff were friendly and professional. Hikes on the trails had just the right balance of fellow hikers, wildlife, and gorgeous vistas. We really appreciated the WIFI at the visitor's center as cell reception is spotty at the campsites and we had a granddaughter with a birthday who needed to be serenaded with the birthday song!

Great campground. Only inconvenience was the wood pricing and availability.
