The area was private, clean and had a beautiful view! The outhouse situation was nice as well- I appreciated having a tidy place for when nature calls!

This was an exemplary place to stay. Miranda has created one of my most beautifully illustration of what West Virginia scenery is all about. The sunset was stunning only to be followed by an even better sunrise. She has also added one of the most creative use of pallets I have ever seen. She has built an outhouse that has both usability and also creative charisma that leaves you with unprecedented nostalgia for being in the back woods of Clay Co. The pictures I was able to capture were gorgeous.

If you're looking for a campsite that makes you question why you'd ever stay in a hotel again, this is it. The views are absolutely jaw-dropping, and the soundtrack of whippoorwills at sunset and sunrise was chef's kiss. The site is easy to get to and has plenty of room for tents, yard games, lounging around, or simply basking in the glow of a full moon. The fire ring is top-tier for campfire stories and questionable marshmallow decisions. A special shout-out to the legendary shitter shack—honestly, it's got more character than some vacation rentals I've stayed in. The host was laid-back, welcoming, and just plain cool. It's also close enough to Charleston to make it the perfect weekend escape when you need a break from the hustle. In no time, you can trade traffic for fresh air, city lights for a sky full of stars, and the daily grind for some of the very best the West Virginia countryside has to offer. 10/10. Would happily pack up the camping gear and come back in a heartbeat.
