Amazing WV getaway

This is one of my favorite campgrounds! It is quiet and the sites are spacious. There is a bathhouse located closest to site 5 with trails from other sites to get there. The facilities are always clean- no shower available. The campground is in walking distance to the overlook and most of the trails. Absolutely lovely here!

Great Trip

There was a fire place and a picnic table and an area to park your car. It was walking distance to the beautiful overlook and a great price for what you get.

A fall camping trip to remember

Wake up early and watch the sunrise at the overlook I’m telling ya! Also the bathrooms at the overlook are better maintained than the campground bathrooms plus the camp bathroom light didn’t work while we were visiting so it got a littttttle creepy after sunset. Overall great weekend.
