The park rangers and hosts are exceptional when providing services. We were at Big Meadows campground for 16 nights. Because we didn't have a reservation we moved to five different sites. This was during the time new tar was being installed (looks fantastic) and they were managing the closure of sites. It was also during the storm that blew out the electricity. Made us realize how much we appreciate the showers. Ten minutes of hot water with good pressure for $5. Great bargain. During all this the park rangers were courteous, friendly and helpful.
At night we went to the Lodge and sat in the Great Room to play cards. On occasion we even indulged in blackberry ice cream. Yum. It was a wonderful vacation.

Beautiful park! Not always hot water in the showers and lack of wifi is a concern because no one can reach you but that is not always a bad thing! 2 fawns greeted us when we arrived at our site and fireflies blew us away at night. We went in mid-June. Fabulous!

Showers are $5 for 10 minutes (whack). That’s not included in the camp amenities covered in the $30 per night fee (no electric nor water hookup in that price, we just tent camped). When we arrived, we were notified we had to pick a different site due to paving which was disappointing since we picked the site out 6 months in advance (very whack). They claimed to have notified us via email (double checked, never got any emails) of this change. Just frustrating staying there overall. I’ve stayed in many, many campgrounds through the park system and this one just wasn’t it dawg

Campground was clean and thr office staff were great with our late arrival. We were out and about in the park so the pavement project that was happening didn't effect our stay at all. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
