There were some campers near our site that were flying a drone. Didn't think that was allowed.

I love being there when it's so quiet (11/18). The number of deer wandering around out-numbered the people there. My bathroom was clean and warm and I had it all to myself!

I was not your typical camper, instead an AT thru hiker who camped here. Site was fine but there was no potable water available except in the bathrooms. I also had to pay for a shower despite paying $30 for a site.

We love Big Meadows every time of year. It is beautiful and unique. Every campsite is different and we have loved them all— even when they’re closer together, we still feel like we have privacy and a pretty spot. We’ve heard owls calling right above our tent on many occasions, and it is just magical.
The rangers are always SO kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. We once locked our keys in our car during a crazy storm, and they were miraculously able to find help for us. A number of years ago, we went to a talk about the night sky at the amphitheater and we still talk about how cool it was.
The bathrooms are always in order, the store has a great variety for when we’ve forgotten crucial items or wanted to pick up local beers.
Highly highly recommend. This is one of my absolute favorite places.

Arrived on Day1, camped out on nights dropping into 20sF on Nights 1+2, had nice hikes on Days 1+2, and prepped to leave on Day3. Car battery was dead. After two different random guests tried helping, the nice Ranger Lady drove up with a battery pack and, in a few cold minutes, the car was running. This was above and beyond the call of duty for her, especially standing in a cold breeze, but she was nonchalant about how much she had helped me! Great park, friendly visitors, helpful staff!

Awesome place to camp!! But definitely call to see when camp store closes because the actual time they close doesn't match what is said on the website. It would benefit the campground to have extended hours and not close at 5.
