Open — Open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis. No advance reservations. Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
Special Weather Statement issued April 13 at 12:07AM EDT by NWS Blacksburg VA
The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures around 10 percent, relative humidities around 25 to 30 percent, and wind gusts around 20 to 25 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today. Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans. For more information about wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit your state forestry or environmental protection website.

About
Greenwood Point Campground at Lake Moomaw provides a truly remote camping experience in the George Washington National Forest. With no road access, this primitive campground is accessible only by a 3-mile hike from Bolar Mountain Campground or by paddling/boating across the lake from Fortney Branch Boat Launch or Coles Point Day Use Area. The campground features five first-come, first-served wooded campsites that encircle an open grassy common area with scenic lakeside views. This isolated location makes Greenwood Point a popular destination for campers seeking solitude and a backcountry-style experience while still having access to Lake Moomaw's fishing and water activities. Each campsite includes a table, tent pad, and grill. A vault toilet is available, but campers must bring their own water as no potable water is provided. The campground operates year-round at $8 per night, payable to the campground host or at Bolar Mountain Campground before hiking in.
