Our neighbor’s fire pit was so close to our RV. There’s no privacy, you are right next to each other. We did turn our RVs to face each other, which was nice because it gave us more space. Good thing our best friends were in the site next to us because we shared the same electric/water pedestal and their sewer connection was right in our front picnic area. Enjoyed our sight after the sun went behind the trees about 5:30. We camped here in August and it was very hot. The tent sites are very well shaded, and there seems to be good shade in the primitive RV camping areas. Not much shade in the Summer, but I bet it’s beautiful here in the Fall. For $55 night it’s just parking in a field. However, the campground was a bit of a disappointment.

The area is absolutely beautiful and lots of breweries and wineries in the area, plus some unique stores to browse through. Beautiful brewery, enjoyed a good dinner first night here at The Summit.

I would definitely stay here again, although at full price I might not be as enthusiastic.īreaking camp this morning after spending 5 nights at Devils Backbone Basecamp. The address to use for the campground is 30 Three Ridges Ln, Roseland, VA 22967. The campground is around the cornerstone it. The address they send you takes you to the brewery. There aren’t many amenities, but the vibe and area more than make up for it. You can walk to the brewery on site, and to a cidery that is across the road. You share a utility post with your neighbor and the odd numbered sites have the post in the grassy area that winds up being your site. The even numbered sites are the best to get.
Several rigs, including mine, needed leveling blocks, but nothing too drastic. The campground it’s self is a large open field with hook up and some beautiful scenery.
There is a ton of amazing hiking and all sorts of tastings to be had (beer, cider, wine, and spirits). The area is beautiful and perfectly situated for lots of outdoor activities.

George Washington himself trusted Arnold with the command of fortifications at West Point in 1780, but Arnold secretly planned to surrender the fort to the British and, when discovered, fled to New York City and boarded a British vessel on the Hudson. The towering blades of quartzite that form Champe Rocks, in Pendleton County, might seem a world away from the battlegrounds of the American Revolution, but by chance, they are tied to the history of Benedict Arnold, among the nation’s best-known traitors. It's a drive of approximately seven miles southeast of Marlinton, 35 miles south of Snowshoe Mountain, 50 miles north of I-64 at Lewisburg, West Virginia.Ĭhampe Rocks named for would-be captor of Benedict Arnold Champe Rocks near Seneca Rocks
The Devil's Backbone is located along Knapp's Creek at WV-39 less than a mile southeast of Huntersville, West Virginia. Deformation propagated readily through overlying units resulting in west-vergent compressional folding of strata in the area. "Intense folding in the eastern portion of the study area associated with the Brown's Mountain Anticline was probably initiated by thrust faulting deeply "rooted" in Ordovician shale present in the subsurface. The West Virginia Geologic and Economic Survey described the fold technically in a 2013 survey: The fold is geologically known as the Brown's Mountain Anticline, which extends some 80 miles across parts of Monroe, Greenbrier, and Pocahontas counties. Here at the backbone, the Tuscarora was folded by the same forces that created Seneca Rocks 200 million years ago, according to most reckonings. It also forms the Hanging Rocks on Peters Mountain in Monroe County. Aside from the backbone, the sandstone outcrops remarkably in other areas in West Virginia as well, most spectacularly at Champe Rocks, Nelson Rocks, and Seneca Rocks, where it has been turned upward on edge by mountain-building forces that buckled the Earth's crust.
