Loft Mountain Campground — Shenandoah National Park
Reviewed Sep. 16, 2020

Good campground in an excellent location for visiting Shenandoah NP

Loft Mountain is made for car campers, backpackers, distance bikers, and anyone who wants just basic stuff and then be left alone!

The cost is amazing!  Only $15.00 per night ($7.50 for a Senior Pass Holder!) which is a throw back to the olden days for sure.

I didn't get a very warm welcome here, but rather a semi-rude ranger who seemed put out with the registration process.  During my professional career, I realized that sarcasm is not a good way to make friends and influence enemies!  Once registered, I never spoke to another staff member, which was OK with me.

Keep in mind that this campground is at a high elevation so things don't dry too quickly in the morning after a rainy night.

I enjoyed my stay here and would return because of the number of sites that are first come first served... no reservation needed!

Overall, a good camping experience.
