A good place to camp.

Post by Sco Bro »

If you want a campground to crash at and Miquel's is a little to lively then check out:

John Swift's Lost Silver Mine Historic Campground
606-663-5258

Some friends and I recently stayed there. The owner was nice, a little too nice, and charged us $5 a person. Firewood was $5 and basically we were told to take as much or as little firewood as we need. We built a pretty good fire. The place was clean, wasn't over inhabited and was right by the river/creek.

It's located at Hwy 715. Go past Military wall, over the steel bridge, etc. like you were going to Fortress or Phantasia. At the intersection before Fortress turn right onto 715 like you were going to Lower Small, Skybridge, etc. The campground is immediately on your right after you turn onto 715.

Anyway, I know that people have posted in the past about where to camp. This place was pretty cool and located close to a number of climbing areas.

Always a nice get-away.
