The campsites themselves were on the rough side. Felt similar to tent sites you see on the AT. In my opinion this is a good thing. The campground is built on the side of a hill, so you aren't gonna find a perfectly level campsite.
I didn't meet the staff. Just put my dues in the money box by the bathhouse.
Clean and good value
If you want to get away, this is a good bet. If you want to go somewhere dark. This is a pretty good place to go. At night you can't see your hand in front of your face.
The staff and campers are wonderful. The spaces are spread out and peaceful. And, there is a great deal to do within short driving times, to provide plenty of adventures.
The fact that this campsite is a bit rugged is what drew our family to it. We have happily camp there since the '80's. My mom raised all the grandkids camping at Big Ridge. And, not one of them would trade the memories or anything in the world.
Camped here for 4 nights and had an awesome time. Very quiet and off the beaten path which is exactly what I was looking for. A lot of people were there Saturday night but everyone was very respectful and didn't keep me up. The bathhouse is rustic in appearance but was kept very clean and everything functioned perfectly including the hot water shower. I went to WV to ride my motorcycle and Big Ridge is surrounded by some of the most twisty and fun dirt and paved mountain roads I've ever ridden. Epic views everywhere you go around there and only about 1 hour from Seneca socks, dolly sods, smoke hole, spruce knob, ect. The owner Leroy and his wife, who's name I can't recall, were very welcoming. Leroy gave me a Jumpstart at 1030 at night one night and also some road maps to help me while I ride since cell signal is not very good in the area, can't thank him enough. I will definitely be back to Big Ridge again.
A great place to stop for the night. Clean, well maintained, hot water in showers, and the owner was very friendly. I arrived just before dark, and she drove over to ensure that I had everything I needed. There are lots of trees, grassy sites, fire pits and picnic tables.
We look forward to camping at Big Ridge every year.
