Showers at Lewis Mtn. Campground

[Marmaduke]

Made it there Friday at ~930am. Got the only available site.......... a few more became available as people were still checking out....... I got 3 solid days of great hiking on the AT and other trails. I love SNP, but I feel like my next trip will be somewhere with a few less people.

The loop trails throughout the SNP are better hiking and less travelled than the AT in SNP. Use the AT as a means of connecting a couple of the loops to extend your hiking mileage. And of course to get access to the waysides, camp stores and restaurants.

I stealth camped just south of the campground a couple of weekends ago. There are several great sites just a few hundred feet outside of the campground .

Yep, and there's a water spigot at the far end of the campground loop a mere 40 yds from the AT.

Yeah, my campsite was right next to this spigot...... it has some serious power and blew a nalgene bottle right out of my hand into the pavement..... lol. It bounced right back up though, no cracks.

I came through that afternoon ... everything was full of course by then, but I had stopped at the Swift Run entrance station to check earlier in the day when it was already full so I had no expectations. I did get to the store and had something to eat. Looked at the shower facility (quite nice) but didn't shower, and then proceeded a short distance and tent camped above Bearfence hut, which was strangely deserted despite everything in the developed facilities in SNP being packed and Bearfence being so close to Skyline Drive!
