The good: excellent trail to Overall Run Falls and quick drive to Elkwallow Wayside. Sites are tight but enough brush that you don’t feel your neighbor is on your doorstep. The generator free sites and those to the Northeast side of the campground have walk in tent area that will make you feel even more remote.

The bad: aside from the trail to Overall Run Falls and a campground circuit, there isn’t much close by that you could walk to. Plan on driving.

The ugly: because it’s proximity to the entrance and number of campsites, you can expect inconsiderate neighbors. The mountains echo, so every child crying is heard. That’s not the worst of it though, as drunk people with music will echo way late into the evening. Camp hosts don’t police the noise, so it will be on you to climb out of camp and shush the drunkards.
