Nice but $$ tent camping 

A “secret spot” that holds a special place in my heart. 

I spend on average 10 days at a time camping in the primitive grounds (April/May, Aug/Sep &amp; end of October 2023 ) all five spaces are nicely kept and a large communal fire pit is wonderful. Even when all sites are full. There’s plenty of space. Porter Johns on site as well (and nicely maintained for what that’s worth! ) 

By far - the best camp ground I’ve visited in terms of Hosts, rangers, amenities if needed, scenery and solitude. 

Take bear and coyote warnings  SERIOUSLY my friends. I’ve seen plenty out there but never had a problem taking proper precautions. 
Also the crows - smarter than normal haha they WILL wake you up earlier than the other birds demanding you make breakfast and leave so they can then hop around your camp. 

Your cell service will be spotty / non existent on trails around the area… even when you see a road running parallel to your hike .. plan accordingly. (And bear spray people. Please. Just take it) 

Plenty of wood split ($4 a bundle. Ice $2 a bag) and hosts will graciously bring wood to your camp site &lt;3 

The “trail” off the primitive site doesn’t seem to be on a map - and I heard many different variations of where it went. So I hiked the whole thing just for y’all! It’s an in and out(maybe a mile give or take total)  that dead ends to PRIVATE property. (So obviously don’t proceed past gate) Lots of beautiful growth, cool in the summer with shade - nice quiet trail for dogs - half way is definitely less of a beaten path. Use caution. 

HIGHLY recommend getting in before last light. Especially if you’re towing anything, roads are steep and winding getting to and from camp/cabins. And lotssss of deer / rabbits at dawn and dusk jumping around. 

In a nutshell - this park gets a 10/10 from a solo female camper. 
Everyone is mindful of one another’s space and solitude - however in true Appalachian fashion everyone also looks out for you and always ready to lend a helping hand.
