Lovely spot. Had a great time stargazing and listening to the wildlife. Was really nice to see coopers rock during the day and stay in a quiet spot at night. Host was really nice and made sure we were comfortable but left us to it for the weekend.

The place and the organization was pretty good. In general a great place where to camp for the first time. The only issue I had is that the tent area is too close to the RV area. This means children screaming were annoying and also people just beating stuff or maybe a gun range. In any case, it is pretty noisy outside of the quiet hours.

Tommy's place is gorgeous land! There are nice fields and woods. It felt entirely safe for women to camp alone. It was easy to find using the instructions and we didn't need 4wd. Would definitely go back!
Tommy is delightful and didn't make fun of me when I said I saw a big bear. It was really a cow in the neighbor's pasture, way off in the distance.

This was perfect for what I was needing. Nothing fancy, a field on the edge of the woods with a firepit. It felt very private, but wasn't far at all from the road. I parked near my site so I didn't have to haul anything to my site. Great experience!

Great peaceful stay on Tommy’s farmland, and he was so accommodating! He came out to meet me at the road going into his usual camping area, and when I expressed concerns about my van’s low clearance, he let me camp up on a gravel driveway that was level-ish that led to his horse barn. It was much closer to the road, but there isn’t a lot of traffic - so this was a great idea and big favor on his part to help me out. The road from Snake Hill Road to his farm was narrow, but the neighbors were very nice in getting over to help with passing one another. All in all, a great place at a great price - and I’d stay again if in the area.

Great Hosts, Great Communication!
Stayed for 2 nights and the property is very clean and well kept. Plenty of fish in pond, Large Mouth Bass, Striped Perch, and Blue Gills.
No cell service so you can unwind. Had a peddle boat for use, be we didn’t try it. Heard Coyotes in the evening. It was a wonderful weekend. Highly Recommend.

What a nice guy Thomas was very hospitable.
Very close to cheat lake yet far enough away from chaos of the lake.
Saw so many stars in the night sky!
Very nice camping spot would recommend checking it out!!

TOMMY IS SO NICE! He gave good advice about swimming in the area and caution about bears and coyotes (basically that we were fine). There was a fire pit with two chairs and logs to sit on. And lots of choices of where to set up the tent. Getting there was super easy too we drive a corrolla and we’re fine. He only cautioned about the grass road being slippery in the rain but we were fine. A great time and very welcoming!

Great stop to relax in nature, hosts were very kind, and if you pull a camper/have an RV don’t take the back way there 😂

Great place to enjoy the outdoors, peace, and quiet. The host, Tommy, is friendly and a great host for things to do in the area. There is a huge fire pit and a grill top for it, which I used to cook some chicken and sausages. I recommend staying and plan to go back for more rest and relaxation. Thank you for the amazing time at your campground.

Beautiful, well maintained rustic site in an Appalachian Forest near the rim of the Cheat Canyon. Great base camp for nearby activities like hiking or climbing at Snake Hill Wildlife Management Area or visiting the area’s historical sites. There’s also a zoo (no kidding!) a short drive away. Even with fun things to do nearby, the site itself is worth the visit if you’re looking to relax in peace and quiet. There are no facilities so plan to be be self sufficient for all your needs and you'll have a wonderful time.

It was a good tent site! I was the only one and it was very private. A bit off the main highway but still a good stop !!

What a great host and really couldn’t have asked for a better camping experience!If you want that real camping feeling(from no service, to hearing the coyotes at night and the closest stores for anything are about 15 minutes away) this is the place! Truly would recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice break from the real world! Thank you for this experience!

Very quiet and peaceful (except for the bullfrogs, which I thought sounded very cool). Would definitely stay here again.

Tommy’s communication was amazing - he even had someone come down to tell us what an animal noise was. Very private, super pretty, and lots of animal noises to hear. We heard coyotes, cows, woodpeckers, and bull frogs. Would definitely recommend staying here and walking the property.

Tommy was a phenomenal host! He was friendly, communicative, and accommodating. Our goal was to get away from people for the weekend, and this site did not disappoint. We have a 31 foot rv. The site was a little slanted, but we were able to adjust easily. The tent sites are private and scenic. We’re already planning a return with friends.
