Straight forward directions, map provided at front. Woman working the front was super helpful, unfortunately for her I’m that guy who asks a thousand questions and all were answered. Showers were nice, campsite was clean and spacious especially if you’re solo or duo traveling. Overall I loved my experience. Will be back in the fall for sure, wanna see if Shenandoah stacks up to the Adirondacks in the fall.

The tent site was massive. The animals came so close to our site. My wife was able to see a coyote one night as we were leaving the camp ground.

The showers cost $5 for 10 minutes. You have to spend the entire $5 for it to work. That is outrageous. Plus the campground is crowded.

A large, well-equipped campground. The Appalachian Trail, and other trails, are easily accessible from the campground. Site A086 was a great site. It has vegetation to provide some privacy from neighbors. Be sure to check out the Byrd Visitor Center. It has a nicely curated exhibit on the history of the park.

I have mixed feelings about Big Meadows. The positives: it is in the heart of Shenandoah and has all the amenities around it - Ranger station, camp store, gas, showers, laundry, food, bar, etc. The cons: a lot of people come here on the weekend. There are no spots open. Every spot is filled with people playing music, kids running around & large family reunions. Not too much privacy and not serene. It’s a party for sure. The weekdays are better, but it is still quite a populated campground. I recommend getting a spot where no generator is allowed – the thought of several generators running all day make me crazy.
