Big Meadows Campground - Shenandoah (VA)
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
Secluded in the thick trees and rolling hills of Shenandoah National Park, Big Meadows Campground is the ideal spot for an outdoor family getaway. Shenandoah National Park has over 500 miles of trails, including 101 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Some lead to a waterfall or viewpoint while others wind deep into the forest and wilderness. Big Meadows is near many of the major facilities and popular hiking trails in the park: three waterfalls are within walking distance, and the Meadow, with its abundant plant growth and wildlife, is an ideal nearby attraction. Wildlife viewing is also a popular pastime, with black bears, wild turkey, deer, birds and countless other animals thriving in the park. The campground sits right off the famous Skyline Drive, which runs 105 miles north and south along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with stunning views from any of the 75 scenic overlooks. This expansive campground offers more than 200 campsites, including sites that can accommodate larger groups. Picnic areas are provided, as well as conveniences like flush toilets, showers and a dump station. There is limited Wi-Fi access at the Byrd Visitor Center and Big Meadows Lodge, and cell phone reception is available at the amphitheater. Shenandoah National Park spans 300 square miles of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the southern Appalachians, rising above the Virginia Piedmont to its east and the Shenandoah Valley to its west. The scenery at Big Meadows never disappoints, with a stunning array of colors in the fall and a blanket of bright wildflowers in the spring. This green and shady campground is a wilderness paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Two visitor centers with bookstores and exhibits are located in the park, at milepost 5 and milepost 51; Byrd Visitor Center is a short one mile walk by either trail or sidewalk if you choose not to drive. Concession-managed restaurants, gift shops and lodging are scattered throughout the park — Big Meadows Lodge and Restaurant is a 5 minute walk from the campground, and Big Meadows Wayside is beside Byrd Visitor Center.
