A Slice of Appalachian Heaven

We stayed here for 4 days at the end of July.  The bathrooms were cleaned twice a day for the COVID and the showers had good pressure.  Like all campgrounds, some sites are better than others.  We tent camp and for us, site 19, was one of the better sites.  I would not camp on this site with a RV of any type but for tent campers its heaven.  Plenty of room and space between us and the other campers.  The trails are wonderful throughout the park if you enjoy hiking as we do.  As a bonus, there was a cancelled bluegrass festival that week in Clifftop, WV,  so we had a lot of local bluegrass going on throughout the campground given many of the musicians did not cancel their campsite reservations.  The only con, as this was our first time camping in WV, was the no alcohol rule and the fact that no passes are given for vehicles indicating they were staying on site.  I would think that it could become a security issue if they can't identify who is actually staying onsite.  Otherwise, great campground!

***One last note.  The last couple miles of road getting here are rough…if you have an SUV you should be fine but i have a sportier suspension and it was not fun.  Also, if you are pulling a trailer, some turns are tight so be prepared.
