Morris Hill Campground

What sets Morris Hill Campground apart is its tranquil ridge-top location above Lake Moomaw, combining rustic charm with proximity to a variety of outdoor adventures. With a serene forested setting, easy access to the lake for fishing and swimming, and well-maintained amenities like hot showers and flush toilets, this campground offers both relaxation and convenience for campers.

The campground is about a half-mile from Lake Moomaw’s southern end, where visitors can enjoy sandy beaches, a fishing pier, and a boat ramp. Hiking and biking enthusiasts will appreciate nearby trails like the Morris Hill Bike Trail and Fortney Loop Trail. Each campsite provides essentials such as picnic tables, fire rings, and drinking water, while group sites cater to larger gatherings with additional features like picnic tables and grills. Though the sites are comfortably spaced, the campground’s peaceful atmosphere is most pronounced during off-peak seasons.

Located within the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests and roughly a 30-minute drive from Hot Springs, Virginia, the area offers diverse recreation options beyond the campground. Lake Moomaw is ideal for fishing, boating, and wildlife watching, while the nearby Jackson River invites fly fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. For those seeking a balance of remote forest beauty and easy access to lakeside activities, Morris Hill Campground is an excellent choice for weekend getaways or extended nature escapes.
