This green oasis in the mountains gives you clear, relaxed feelings . So get out of your head and get in the forest. You won't regret it.

Always have a blast camping here! Great place for primitive camping, hiking trails, beautiful scenes, and peace and quiet. One of my favorite places of all time to visit.

An amazing stop on 68 west. I found this place as a serendipity and this was a find of the life time. The views were amazing , I wish I could explore the nearby trails but I was in the go. Will come back to explore this place

Great place for camping. LOTS of ground to cover if you want to explore. very friendly people at the Ranger Station. I drove from NYC to camp out for the weekend with some friends. I am a big fan of forest type sites that don't have a lot of ground shrubs and the site was great. lots of trees but not much down low on the ground. my friends hit up the Paw Paw Tunnel and they said it was a great experience. I unfortunately was unable to to see it bc the drive to NYC was long and i did not want to take more time. Check out is 3pm. sites are very very secluded. We camped out middle of November so it definitely got cold in the middle of the night. Would highly recommend this place for camping. Foliage camping must be absolutely incredible. lots of great views from the lookout points. at $10/night, it was cheap.

It's one of my favorite spots to go camping 🏕 Primitive sites with just a picnic table and spot for a campfire (no rings but plenty of rocks), though they do have group sites available that have a port-a-potty. Registration is easy, and the cost is cheap -$10/day. Plenty of hiking, hunting, foraging, and shooting (they have 2 ranges) available. It's first come, first serve, and I usually go late in the Fall and early in Spring and we tend to get the sites we favor. Check it out if you haven't!
