FCFS OHV campground that can be approached from a couple of rough dirt roads,  high clearance helpful,  4wd not needed.   Not all sites are flat.  People from the area (i guess)  seemed to be "reserving"  sites with styrofoam coolers and water jugs…  they did not occupy their sites at night. I didn't use the vault toilet facility.  Took a hike.  Very pretty.  No OHV noise,  but a copter was circling the area in the middle of the night.

I stayed only one night here in 2022 while traveling through.  It was a pretty drive through rural western Nevada,  which ended in a four mile graded dirt road.  I was driving an SUV with high clearance,  but the road is suitable for RVs if you take it slow.  Both campgrounds are RV suitable.  This one does not have hook ups,  but quail run does.  The facilities are very new.  Each site has a covered picnic table  It is not a great tent camping area in my opinion because it is a desert loop and you are out in the open.  I slept in my SUV.  The area itself is beautiful though,  and I need to make another,  longer stop there and at the nearby "elbow"  unit,  which is more remote.

I have stayed at this campground twice.  The first time (2022) was a rainy day and I didn't feel like setting up a tent in my reserved space, so I upgraded to one of the very nice, and at the time quite new cabins for about $75 total.  I loved the winding drive down to Helena-West Helena. It was beautiful, the rain was not too bad.  The cabin was wonderful.  I had such a happy experience that time, I returned to car camp last year (2023) on my way west. I did not bother setting up a tent, but rented an RV space. It was fine. . . lots of mosquitos in the evening (mid-September) and a construction crew was renting out an RV spot across from me.  There were no other campers, but I felt safe.  The bathrooms (unisex) were not nearly as clean as the first visit, but were ok.  The guys across the way were quiet and respectful.  The whole thing was ok. . . but I did have the thought expressed in another comment that there is just too much concrete and asphalt in this place.  Maybe they are concerned about keeping the jungle at bay, so they paved it . . . but consequently it feels like a parking lot with a beautiful periphery. Is also was pretty expensive for what I needed ($42), since I sleep on a cot in my SUV and don't need electricity, water, dumping, etc.  But that is my fault for not asking for a tent site.

I decided to head there at the last minute, and called the office right before closing to rent via telephone (should have asked for a tent site, cheaper).  I did not have to make the 14 mile drive to Marianna to check in. 

The crew staying in the RV across the way, left vert early in the morning.  It was cool and shady in my spot, so I moved my vehicle to sunny spot (tent area!) and had a nice leisurely breakfast before heading out.  It was mid-week, and nobody else was there.  A ranger (?) drove through pretty early (before I moved my car) and said hi. She knew i had rented a spot.  Very friendly, just as the folks in Marianna had been when I went there in 2022. 

All in all it is a good spot. Quiet and safe.

I stopped here on my last night of a 30 day RT trek from RI to CA.  It is a USFS campground above I-81 that straddles the VA/WV line. The drive is back-woodsy and populated in a rural way (homes on the road).  Once you hit the steeper climb, there are some switchbacks and narrow areas that would not be at all fun in an RV.  The campground itself is in a bit of disrepair although the tent pads looked fine.  Being on a hill, most of them are terraced.  The rock steps to them seemed in good shape.  It was difficult to find level parking though, if you want to sleep in your vehicle.  

After finding a spot, I moseyed over to the check in board and read about some of the people staying there (you leave a card with your information, and how long you are staying).  One of the cards indicated that the man who wrote it was perhaps a little "off" as he was thankful that "the noise police left today." Hmmmm.  I looked at the rest.  All of them were staying for 30 days. I saw one young man getting in his truck . . but I didn't see anyone else.  It was very quiet. 

I noted that there was one narrow loop and lots of trees in the way of any off-road egress. It seemed to me that I could easily be blocked into my campsite. As a small solo female, I decided to play it safe and went back down the hill and found the Elizabeth Furnace Family Campground on the other side of 81, which was perfect. 

One other note:  the USFS had put a note on the board indicating that they were in the process of initiating a charge a $14 fee to stay at the CG to raise money for maintenance purposes.  They were taking public comments.

First come first served.  $14, but they had a sign up that said it might be raised to $20 in 2024.   Only 2 America the Beautiful passes include discounts to this campground: Access (handicapped) and Senior.  And I must say, after going all the way up to Wolf Gap (on the other side of I-81) to check out the free USFS campground up there and finding a bunch of unstable homeless people, I was glad to pay to have upkeep and hosts. 

In October (2023) I arrived to EF at 3:30pm and about half of the spots were taken by a mix of tenters and RVs.  The campground is well-cared for, and there were hosts present. 

Please do enjoy the drive to the CG, as it is quite beautiful.  And although the winding road attracts some car & driver types, by nightfall, it was completely quiet.  I slept in my jeep condo and put up a privacy tent because I am tired of campground bathrooms.  I am not sure the hosts really understood the concept.  But they didn't say anything other than to inquire about my strange lodgings (they thought I was sleeping in the privacy tent!)
