Sky Meadows Campground

Sky Meadows primitive campground is a great calm place to spend the night! It is a short one mile walk from the parking lot to the campground, making it the perfect spot for first time campers and experienced campers alike! The campground has 15 sites which fit up to six people each. There are also three group sites which fit bigger groups. Each site has a gravel tent pad, lantern post, picnic table and bear box for food storage. There are two pit toliets and non-potable water on site as well. There are also occasional campfire programs put on by park staff and volunteers which are always a lot of fun!

I can't say enough good things about the camping experience here. Rangers were helpful and friendly. There was a show at the amphitheater that was informative. It is about a mile hike in from the parking lot so that was nice if you are just getting into back country camping and want to give your gear a shakedown. We were well prepared for ticks and bugs and had no problems there. Hiked up to the overlook and back around the AT and down to camp again before the evening show. All trails were well maintained and marked. No problems at all. Got back to camp and a ranger even came to inform us we had left a dome light on in our car! Was able to hike back down and rectify that so we didn't have a dead battery in the morning. Bathrooms are about what you would expect. Nothing fancy but serviceable. There is a well on-site (non-potable). We used it with our sawyer filter with no issues. Sites have a picnic table and fire pit with grate and are round pea gravel pads.

Great place for hiking, camping and walking the dog!
