Massive Loop

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 and would definitely come back for the perfect mix of convenience, greenery, and adventure.

8/10: A lot of bugs during summer, and the park rangers often do not enforce the noise level during quiet hours. The campsite being on a mountain is definitely more densely packed than others I been to. In the summer there’s no way to look out to the other mountains from the campsite, but during winter with the leaves gone it is definitely able to. At night stars are quite visible with in the campsite. Not seen a single bear in the 4 days I been here. Plenty of deers and rabbits though. Also, Verizon does not get signal here at all.

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 you feel like you’re in a postcard. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or trying it out for the first time, this place is a gem. Can’t wait to come back!

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.

To say it is good or bad, mostly it depends on whether or not you are willing to accept the constant high wind status of this campground. Don't be fooled by any weather forecast. 8mph wind in DC is completely different from 8mph wind on loft mountain. I believe the key point is the frequency of gust wind. On top of loft mountain, where the campground is located, if the wind forecast tells 8mph for the day, most likely you will encounter 25mpg or even stronger gusts in every 5 minutes or less in this campground. And there are really very few days without so much wind in this area.

This is a campground my crew goes back too. Here are some quick pros. 1. Top of the mountain. So close to the waterfall trails. 2. Wildlife travel through the campground. We had so many deer visitors come say hello. 3. G190 is the best campsite, so secluded and a lot of room and close to the bathrooms. Just needs the grill replaced. 4. Camp store has all the essentials along with showers/laundry. It rains a lot so putting some clothes to dry was a godsend. 5. Doyle’s Run and Jones Run offer a nice few little watering hole spots to cool down on your trail. They can be a bit of a workout getting back up. Thank you to the all Park Rangers. Preserving our beautiful nation is a huge honor. 🇺🇸

Very nice and quiet campground. We were camping in June with a 25ft RV and no reservations were needed. In busier periods of the year I would recommend making reservations.
