Wind your way up the mountains to this sweet state park! There was only one other couple camping when we arrived but I feel like this place wouldn't feel busy even if it was thanks to all the trees! We also felt super safe thanks to the park ranger driving around on patrol, he drove by a few times making sure everything was all set. Much appreciated by two females camping in the off season!

The campsites have nice gravel areas AND flat dirt spots for tents. It was nice to not have to pitch the tent right on top of gravel for a change. Our site was quite large and had a picnic table and a natural rock fire pit that was free of debris and trash. There was plenty of space for the hounds to roam on their long leads. A water spigot was just a short walk away. Restrooms were nice and warm, appreciated thanks to cold fall temps.

The site we stayed in had a little paved bump out for parking. Trash receptacles were directly across from our site as well.

There's a sweet little visitor's center that's worth stopping just before you get to the turn off for the campground. The woman working in there was very friendly and offered a few hiking options. We arrived a little late in the day so we drove a bit further up the mountain to Carver's Gap and then went on a short little hike to Round Bald, right along the AT. As the pictures indicate, it was stunning.
