Public land it sits in

On Wilderness Atlas →

This campground sits inside George Washington and Jefferson National Forest.

Each unit is published as a centre point and an acreage rather than a boundary, so this section stands it in for a circle of the same area. Whether a campground is inside, and how far it is from one it is outside, are both approximate.

Natural features

The campground sits on the northern end of Lake Moomaw. The lake boasts 2,530 surface acres with 43.5 miles of shore line and a maximum depth of 150 feet.

Recreation

Boating, canoeing, water skiing and fishing are popular activities on the lake. Brown and rainbow trout, bass and crappie are some of the popular species anglers catch. The campground's open spaces are also handy for running around of stretching out on the grass.
