We thoroughly enjoyed our three-day stay at the Newhalem campground (Loop C, site 99). The campground is near the NCNP visitors center and provides easy access to a few short trails which work their way through the woods and follow the river. The campground has flush toilets, We were there on a holiday weekend with a full campground and the bathrooms remained clean and never felt crowded. 

The biggest knock against the camping area is that the sites are small and neighbors are close. Our site had enough room for our Big Agnes Big House 6, but we didn't have room to push it much beyond that. While some sites did appear larger, many others appeared to share the same issue like ours. I also wish the campground had bear boxes. While the picnic table had a sign on it instructing visitors to use the bear boxes, none were present, and though we did not see any bear while we were there, a box would have provided some peace of mind and allowed us to free up some space in our car as we made our way to various trailheads during our stay.
