Loft Mountain Campground
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
Perched on top of Big Flat Mountain, Loft Mountain is one of the largest campgrounds in Shenandoah National Park — a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and a wilderness getaway in the historic Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. Shenandoah National Park has over 500 miles of trails, including 101 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Some trails lead to a waterfall or lookout, while others wind deep into the forest and wilderness. Trails to the Big Run Wilderness area are accessible from the campground, and pristine waterfalls are a common sight along the popular trails. Wildlife viewing is also a popular pastime, with black bears, wild turkey, deer, birds and countless other animals abundant across the park. The campground is located right off Milepost 80 on the famous Skyline Drive, which runs 105 miles north and south along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with stunning views available from any of the 75 scenic overlooks. Loft Mountain's location on the mountain top offers easy access to the drive and sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the surrounding rolling hills and open meadows. This expansive campground offers 207 campsites, as well as amenities like flush toilets and water and dump stations. Pay showers are nearby at the campstore. Shenandoah National Park includes 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. Two visitor centers with bookstores and exhibits are located in the park, at milepost 5 and milepost 51, and concession-managed restaurants, gift shops and lodging facilities are scattered throughout.
