Loft Mountain Comments & Reviews

Visited Loft Mountain Campground lately? We'd love to hear about your adventure. Did you find us useful? Did we forget something? Anything our community should know before heading out to Loft Mountain?

8 Comments on “Loft Mountain”

  1. 2 of us plan to book a site at Loft Mountain this summer. I’ve read some sites have uneven terrain, making sleeping in a tent difficult. Anyone has a recommendation for a site you know has level ground and nice views, that is secluded?

  2. Lucy Bragg says:

    My gosh, I love this campground! Very peaceful, great little campstore with showers also. Nice clean bathrooms. I love setting up my tent here and being near the AT trail, and other trails nearby. For $15.00 a night , that’s so cheap for the priceless views and peaceful beauty of the woods , and trails ! Love Loft!

  3. Love this campsite but the picture numbers on here dont match the actual campsite lot numbers.

    • Hi Adam,
      Thanks for the heads up. Looks like the renumbered some of the sites. We will try and get a photographer to reshoot Loft Mountain and the other campgrounds at Shenandoah National Park this fall.

  4. The campsite numbers on here do not match the actual campground.

    • Hi Rachel,
      Thanks for the heads up. Looks like they renumbered the campsites and didn’t tell us. I’ll have a photographer reshoot the campground later this year.

      • fritz strasburg says:

        Still wrong numbers to campsites. When will you fix it? Thanks

      • So sorry about that Fritz!
        We will get these updated/current by end of this year, and will try and reshoot entire campground next year.
