In Wardensville, WV, take County Rt. 23/10 (Trout Run Rd.) south 5.4 miles to County Rt. 16 (Trout Run Rd.). Turn right onto Rt. 16 and go 6.3 miles to campground sign (Forest Rt. 500). Turn left onto Rt. 500 and go about 1 mile to campground.
Great campground, walkable to a small lake. There are plenty of hiking trails from the campgrounds. There isn't any cell service, so bring a book. You can buy wood down the road. We see a couple of wood shed where you can pick up what you might need for a couple of bucks. As for wildlife, we saw mostly birds, there was also a young bear that wandered into the campground during the evening and was chased away by a couple of campers.
*** The hike up to the lookout on the people trail is difficult, it's all up hill for the thirty minute walk. The view is worth it, it just may not be suitable for young children.
The campsite is awesome. Trout pond is a small lake with good fishing.
Great little Campground & a gem of a lake. I'm really picky about swimming in clean lakes, it needs to have a sandy bottom & I have to see my feet. I got to stand up paddle board the lake. It was such a great weekend!!
This was our first camping trip as a family and the first my wife and I have had since having our second child. Overall the experience was great. Having a flush toilet, shower, and very nice pads in a spot where you're completely disconnected from technology and screens was great. The weather could have cooperated a little better, but we had an excellent time and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice outdoor getaway.
Camping with friends and multiple tents. We grabbed one of the buddy camps. The site was flat and deep with pea gravel. Clean bathrooms close by. No T-Mobile reception. Pay phone on site.
