This campground is centrally located to many of the best hikes in the park. It’s a large campground and not all sites are created equal, so do some research. Over the years I’ve found the walk in tent sites provide the most seclusion.
Use the bear boxes as there is a lot of wildlife around big meadows. Deer wander freely throughout and I’ve seen gray foxes, skunks, barred owls, and the occasional black bear. The campground is very quiet at night and sound travels a bit. Quiet hours start at 10pm, but a noisy neighbor can really dampen the experience.
Some water spigots aren’t functioning (10/1/23) here or at the nearby visitor center, but bathrooms have running water as it’s a developed campground. The Big Meadows Wayside and the lodge are nearby for supplies or food. Firewood is sold on site, seasonally.
