Looking west-northwest at Rockytop Overlook from an elevation of 2,860 ft (871 m), you will see the more rugged south district of Shenandoah National Park. Lewis Mountain is far in the distance, while Loft Mountain is on the right. Loft Mountain is not the location of the Loft Mountain Campground. Rather, the campground is located on Big Flat Mountain. Due to the unappealing nature of the name Big Flat Mountain Campground, park officials decided to use Loft Mountain as the campground's namesake instead.
