great once you get there

This campground is known to all the locals, but confusing to find. Print your maps before you go. There is no cell phone service until you either find Upper Tract or Cabins, WV in the other direction. The road is rather bumpy, I like to think that it just weeds the non-serious folks out. There is now a country store that is open at the one intersection. Trust me, you will so happy to see the store, you will dash right in. The store is well stocked. At times during the year, there is bluegrass music. You travel along the South Branch of the Potomac River and then finally get to the campground. The grounds are wonderfully kept. The caretaker, truly loves his job and it shows. After 10pm, its quite time, and he means it. Each loop of the campground has restrooms and there is a new shower house. If you are interested in tubing on the river, May,June & July are the best months. After that the river tends to get low. The campground is framed by mountains and cliffs. It seems that you are inside of a tea cup (but in a good way) Excellent for star gazing. If you are told that the river is rising and you need to get out at a certain day/time, you should be ASAP. From time to time the road has washed out, but the state road guys get to it fairly quick. Glen, the caretaker will advise you.
