June 1st, 3rd Night Camping, Big Meadows, Shenandoah NP

Our third camper arrived just shortely before we did (coming from our Buck Ridge-Buck Hollow hike).  I helped direct the new camper to a nice, flat grassy spot, this being his first time camping.  No rain was in the forecast so it was a great night to camp out.  It was a great night--cool and calm and the campground was quiet.  We all slept well and had a nice breakfast the next morning.  Camper #3 packed up and left us while we packed up but left the trailer there whilst we did our Sunday morning hike up beautiful Laurel Prong Trail.  Another great weekend camping.  I'm already looking forward to the next camping trip!!

Camping site TBD.  I'll text participants once I get a campsite.  Join us for a great weekend of camping.  Weather should be great at Big Meadows Campground,

Located at mile 51.2 of Skyline Drive, Big Meadows Campground is near many of the major facilities and popular hiking trails in the park. Three waterfalls are within walking distance; the Meadow, with its abundant plant growth and wildlife, is close by.

I have extra tents, sleeping bags, and pads if you don't have your own.  Bring clothing for mountain camping—long sleeve shirts, jackets, rain-proof poncho, etc.
