Great location in the park, facilities well kept. Showers are paid: $5 for ten mins and water pressure pretty weak. Also very packed in and people walked through my site to get to the water pump.

Our campsite was at a 20 to 30° angle nowhere flat to put our tent we asked for a refund and we didn’t receive one. The facility manager told us that it wasn’t worth a refund. Two better Shenandoah.

We have always loved camping at Big Meadows and make sure we go every year. We noticed last year but very evident this year the campground is no longer being mowed. Weeds are on the campsites even around the fire pits and picnic tables. The grass is very high. We were there three days and in that time the bathroom had never been swept or mopped. The same paper that was on the floor was there the entire time.
I know there are budget cuts but hope that the campground can be maintained a little better.

We had a very nice place.
Note, that E loop is the exit for all further loops, so comparably high traffic.
All driveways and tarmacs seemed freshly renewed.
Showers are quite expensive (5$ in quarters for 10 minutes).
Nice hikes starting directly at the campground.

Best place ever to camp (and we camp A LOT!). Site 183 was perfect and so is site 180 but you really can't go wrong at any campsite in Big Meadows. 5 stars!

Campground was very clean and easy to navigate, camp store being close and having everything you’d need was a great help, location in the park is great as you can reach most parts very easily, very peaceful and relaxing stay

The campsite was clean and fairly private. The shade was especially appreciated due to the high temperatures during our visit. We enjoyed a ranger program the first night and bought firewood on site. We would definitely recommend this campground!

Easily one of my favorite campgrounds in the US. Clean restrooms, tent sites are well maintained, many rental locations available. Great for solo campers or families. Great if you plan ahead or rent last minute.
