Enjoy your stay

Nice large campground with 2 handicapped sites close to the bathroom. Camp store where you can buy firewood, ice, and most anything you may have forgotten. Campsites are fairly well spread apart, most have a patch of woods between them. Bear boxes are at some of the sites for storing your food. Bathrooms are kept clean and have a drinking fountain nearby for water. Showers are available at the camp store. You can hike some of the Appalachian Trail which runs just below the camp. All campsites come with a fire ring and picnic table.

Peaceful and relaxing

I've been camping at this state park since the early 2000's and am pleased to say not much has changed.The campground has 7 sites each with it's own picnic table, fire ring, and pole for stashing your food away from bears. If you like fishing there is a small lake which is regularly stocked with Trout. Bass, Blue Gill, Sunfish, and a few others. It's just a short walk from the campsites. There are plenty of hiking trails. Our favorite is the Raven Rock trail which leads to a 450 foot  40 degree angle granite rock facing that you can climb to get an amazing view of the surrounding mountains. There is also a natural rock bridge close to the campsites called Log Rock. Of the 7 sites 6 are close together. The 7th is of by itself and about 100 feet from the lake in a more secluded area.  For the adventurers you can drive along a section of The Little Shepard Trail.  A one lane road that runs along the ridge of the mountain. No guard rails! , With 300 foot cliffs to either side . All in all there is plenty to do. Take the time to check it out you won't regret it. Oh, I failed to mention free firewood. Everyday a ranger will come by and keep you stocked with wood. It's included with the price of camping.
