GPS Information
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the remote location of the camp, navigating via GPS is NOT advised. We have many roads in our area that are on maps but are unmaintained rural farm and forest roads that are not passable by automobile. The GPS cannot tell the difference and often leads travelers down unpassable roads. Many people ignore this note and get lost. Following our provided directions is your best option. Simply route your GPS to Fairplain, WV and follow our driving directions from there (Approx. 30 minute drive).
