I have been here several times over the last few years and I always love to come. Friends of the Cheat is a fantastic organization and staying at their campground is extremely affordable and easy. The people who I run into here are always friendly and great to get to know around the fire pits scattered around the campground. There are two permanent toilets onsite which while not the best bathrooms I’ve ever seen, are far better than the alternative and great to have. There are typically several music events hosted here throughout the year such as Cheatfest, hostedby Friends of the Cheat, and all of them are fun, especially with friends.
