Beautiful area for car camping. Go during the week when it’s not too crowded! Places to buy supplies if you need. Amazing hiking all around!!

Big Meadows is my wife's favorite camping spot and near the top for me. There are numerous nearby hiking spots including along the Appalachian Trail which runs adjacent to the west side camping area. We usually camp S-F to avoid the weekend partiers and had a mostly quiet and restful time. Be forewarned, cell service is terrible unless one hikes to the amphitheater. My primary complaint is the outrageous cost of showers: $5 ( in quarters for minutes). We usually sponge bathe. Wish there were more gravel biking opportunities, but good biking on the Skyline Dr.

We enjoyed our 12 night stay. Quiet, peaceful, deer grazing was beautiful. Dark Hollow falls is worth the hike to see. Interesting movies about the park and its inhabitants both wildlife & vegetation. It was interesting also just to watch people come & go. All the different types of camping equipment was pretty cool to see.

We had a great time despite the low clouds. We got to hike Stony Man, look at the stars and enjoy the views. My 9 year old even became a Junior Ranger. Everything was excellent.
