Morris Hill Group Campground

About

Morris Hill Group Campground provides a rustic camping experience for groups of family and friends seeking a peaceful retreat in Virginia's Alleghany Highlands. The campground occupies a scenic ridgetop perch overlooking Lake Moomaw, a 2,530-acre reservoir known for excellent fishing opportunities including brown and rainbow trout, bass, and crappie. Each of the two group sites can accommodate up to 25 people and 8 tents, with space for up to 8 vehicles. The group sites feature paved driveway access, two fully accessible vault toilets, picnic tables, and a group grill. Note that there is no potable water or electricity at the group camping area. Campfires are permitted. The campground is located about a half-mile from Lake Moomaw's southern shore, providing easy access to sandy swim beaches, a fishing pier, and a boat ramp. Nearby recreational opportunities include the Morris Hill Bike Trail and Fortney Loop Trail for hiking and biking. The area is surrounded by the scenic mountains of the George Washington National Forest, making it an ideal basecamp for exploring the region's natural beauty.
