Loft Mountain Campground

This was our first campground we stayed while spending a week in Shenandoah. The sites are mixed but generally have natural barriers from neighbors unlike some of the larger grounds in Shenandoah. We loved the privacy and proximity to the Appalachian trail, views were excellent when taking the trail. It's unfortunate though that dogs are not allowed on the "discovery" trails like the Frazier trail for easier route to get back to the campground while hiking.

Loft Mountain Campground is a fantastic spot and definitely one of our favorites in Shenandoah! It’s better than Mathew’s Arm Campground when it comes to food access, firewood availability, and basic camping amenities — everything felt easy and convenient here. The greenery level is just right — less dense than Mathew’s Arm (so you get more open sky views) but more wooded than Big Meadows, giving a nice mix of shade and privacy. We also did the Blackrock Summit Trail, which was an easy hike with a stunning view at sunset, just 8 mins drive from this loft mountain campground — highly recommend adding it to your trip! Loved that there are many other Appalachian Trail sections right around the campground, making it a great base for short or longer hikes. We had so much fun during our stay

An Amazing Camping Experience! 🌲☕🍺 Our stay here was absolutely fantastic! The entire campground is incredibly well-maintained, with clean showers, toilets, and laundry facilities that made everything super convenient. There’s even a small on-site shop stocked with all the essentials you could possibly need for camping — from gear to locally brewed beer, which was a delightful surprise! The park rangers were outstanding — so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a spot with a view, I highly recommend Block E, Parking Spot 50. That’s where I snapped my favorite picture of the trip. Imagine starting your morning with a hot cup of coffee on a scenic ledge, soaking in peaceful nature views — the kind of moment that makes

This was one of my favorite vacations, and at an awesome location. You have the mountains, trails, fire pits, tents, s'more. My girls loved it. It got colder than expected the first night. Somehow I forgot a heavy blanket so I froze that night lol. Make sure you have extra clothing and blankets in case of a similar situation. Would definitely go back! When we visited the general shop the employees were super. There is also a park ranger that drives around making sure everyone is being respectful.

Always love this campground. Nice bathrooms, no showers. Views are amazing, wild life lots of deer at dusk must have seen 15. Some sites very hilly. The front of my camper was 12 to 15 inches lower than back. Otherwise a favorite.
