We got huge heirloom tomatoes for 3 for $1. Unbelievable, they were so good. Reasonably priced, we paid $49 a night! Sell good dry firewood too!

We do a trip every November for a weekend. The cabins are pretty much the same as they were when I was 12 years old, but that doesn't matter. They have what you need for a nice boys weekend in the woods. In the winter, the place is pretty sparse and not many people staying at the campground, but that's what we like. Great hiking trails, walking around the lake, making campfires and doing nothing, if that's what we feel like. I do remember the summers being more crowded and that's the time when the cabins and the tent sites get filled up. They have a great beach on the lake for swimming, snack bar, canoe's and paddle boat rentals, and activities for kids as well. We are from SE Lancaster County, and it's only about 1 1/2 hour drive to get there, so it's very do-able for a weekend in the Fall. I would highly recommend it. I'd also recommend making sure you have everything you need before you get there (i.e. food, dishes, cookware, batteries etc), since there aren't really any places convenient to pick up forgotten items. But then again you are in the mountains, so that's what you get.

Thats how 7 friends and I felt when we were planning our weekend trip to Berkeley Springs (well, maybe we weren't that dramatic). I can't speak for all of the properties, but SLEEPY RIDGE HIDEAWAY was a dream come true! A small full kitchen with bedrooms to sleep 8 people and two bathrooms. Inside we had a wood burning stove which was great on a cool rainy evening. Outside there was a screened in porch and a back deck. There was a fire pit where which we made use of regularly! A game room with air hockey and shuffleboard. But the best part....a hot tub!!! And yes we fit 8 people in there! This cabin also had a nice trail down a hill to the creek below which was very serene and was a 10 minute drive to good hiking trails. If you need to get away...check out berkely springs and all the cabins they have to offer....ours was about $45 per person for the weekend!

One of our favorite parts is the community aspect - there is a communal fire pit that is lit every night, there are 4 gas grills for cooking, and we always enjoy hanging out and chatting with other guests. It is a warm and fun atmosphere. Colette is a gracious and welcoming host - she's always around and checking on everyone, asking if we need extra blankets or towels etc. Even though they're tents, they are clean! The bedding and towels are soft and smell amazing. There is a central bath house that is clean and has nice showers. Get a tent with a private hot tub if you can - it is worth it! Highly recommend.

We couldn't watch the 10 minute video because they were closing due to no activity. We drove over to the parking lot for the actual fort. The Fort was still open but unmanned so the interior buildings were locked. The Fort was built in 1756 for the Indian wars against the white settlement. It was later used in Revolutionary war and Civil War. It's almost 300 yrs old It's a stone fort with very thick high walls. Definitely a nice park. There is a store but it was closed too. There is a campground down along the Potomac River. Definitely recommend you visit when in the area. I would go back again! A great price!!!

The staff is friendly and helpful and the store is fully stocked with all campers may need and then some. When touring Washington DC and all the battlefields this place is centrally located.

On the other hand, there are train tracks less than a quarter mile away and at least when we were there in mid September, trains passed on the hour from 11PM to 6AM. Who needs sleep anyhow?! It's also worth noting that we counted three big confederate flags. This is a private campground and largely RV focused, but we set up tents. For $10 a person, you get what you pay for, which is a well used but clean portapotty and no water. Without the train tracks it would be a great deal, but really, there aren't earplugs good enough to drown that out and did I mention how regularly they were? And close!

If you're looking for an easy but super cool hike with big payoff, Hammonds Rocks in Michaux State…read moreForest is a must. I stopped by on a warm, sunny October Sunday morning while in the area for the National Apple Harvest Festival (about 30 minutes away), and somehow had the whole place to myself. It was so peaceful--just the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze and the occasional thud of acorns falling from the trees. The walk in is short and easy--basically a flat stroll past a couple of informational signs to reach the boulder outcropping. From there, the fun begins! Hammonds Rocks is about 400 feet long, with massive stone formations to climb, wander, and explore. I spent about 45 minutes hopping from stone to stone, taking photos, and checking out different angles of the formations. Even without climbing, there are plenty of spots to enjoy the view, though the tall trees do block some of it. Still, with the leaves just starting to turn to their fall colors, it was absolutely beautiful. The info signs are worth a pause, too--they really put things into perspective. One noted that when the sediments making up these rocks were deposited, the spot where I was standing was on the shore of a great ocean...530-600 MILLION years ago. Wild. Absolutely mind blowing! As for access: don't panic when Google Maps tells you the next few miles are unpaved. The gravel road is manageable if you take it slow and keep an eye out for some monster ruts. (Speaking from experience: this 40-something woman in her beloved Alfa Romeo made it just fine.) Just don't attempt in winter without knowing what you're getting into--the roads aren't maintained in snow or ice. Overall, Hammonds Rocks is an easy, low-effort, high-reward stop. Whether you're climbing, photographing, or just taking in the history and scenery, it's a great way to spend part of your day in Michaux.
