Hiking
This campsite sits close to the banks of Big Run River, just before the steep climb to Waterfall Mountain. If you're hiking the Massanutten Trail, you can either camp here or continue up to the campsite on top of the mountain. Since there’s no water up there, you'll need to carry it from the river.
