I really enjoyed my tent camping experience at Big Meadows Campground. The walk-up site (#22) was tucked away far enough to feel private but close enough to the car / parking area to be convenient. Facilities were well-maintained, staff was friendly and helpful, and the hikes were lovely. I will warn, poor cell service to no cell service in the campsite. However, I got a few bars at the overlooks on skyline drive just minutes away from the campground. This is my second time at this campsite, and I've enjoyed my time in both experiences!

Overall the campground is good, but the sites are definitely not equal, so check pictures or YouTube carefully. We did have excellent support to switch sites due to wash out. Thank you to our co-New Yorker camp hosts and our Ranger!

Big Meadows was great! Clean bathrooms with running water and showers which were so needed after long hikes. The showers were $5 for 10 minutes but the water warmed up immediately and the shower was great! The actual campground was a little rocky, but it wasn’t too hard to find a good spot to pitch the tent. We had an amazing time!

Surprisingly nice campground bathrooms. Sites are a little bit open so not much seclusion

The site we had was amazing! It was tucked all the way back in the forest and very quiet. Clean facilities weren’t too far away and the camp showers run by the concessionaire are always appreciated after long hikes! If you tent camp, getting a walk in site at Big Meadows is well worth the short walk.

Nice super short trail back to it, felt private. Great position, and the nearby waterfalls were great hikes.

I had a fantastic experience here on a three week stay. The park rangers and hosts were helpful, good natured, and friendly. My main activity is bicycling. Skyline Drive is in excellent shape. The hills and curves are great as are the views. I found traffic to be light during the week with a moderate increase on weekends. Drivers were cautious and bike friendly.

Good campground. Zero Verizon signal. Expensive firewood. Wish the grass was mowed shorter.
