Gorgeous spot! By far our favorite spot for camping! The area is covered with boulders and a small lookout over the mountain. Lots of neat trails to walk on too.
This is 100% a hidden gem. The huge rocks in the pictures are about 200 yard into the woods beyond the campsite.
My family just went camping here, and we really enjoyed it. Some things to know: Woodrow Road is more like a narrow gravel path, and you have to go slow. The site has a nice mix of cleared area and shade. It is mostly young birch trees, as the name implies, and they don't have many low branches for hanging things. However, there are plenty of great spots for hammocks. There was a stone fire ring and a metal fire ring with a grill. There are a few unmarked trails going around the edges of the campsite, but it is fairly secluded other than the occasional mountain biker. We followed the largest trail and found cool rock formations that our kids enjoyed climbing. I saw what I think was a juvenile timber rattlesnake at night, so keep an eye out!
Very nice campsite and has awesome trails to hike on but the trails are busy had backpackers walking by and people biking and there was a family that decided they were going to try and hang out there but I told them they had to leave I had a reservation they didn't realize it was a campsite and the people that stayed the night before me left trash and they had a dog cause there was dog food on the ground but once I cleaned the site up and no more people came through it was very nice and peaceful so the site it self is definitely a 5 star but my stay there would be a 3 just because of people it shouldn't be a primitive site because of the trails that go right by there and people can just walk right past your site and there isn't no privacy so watch going to the bathroom make sure no one is
Nice spot at the top of the ridge for camping, hiking, and evidently mountain biking. There is a rocky trail that runs along the left side of the ridge through the rocks. There is also a flatter trail on the right side of the ridge that parallels the bike trail. Both are beautiful hikes with pretty amazing rock structures all along the way. Looks like you can connect to the AT eventually for what looks like about a four mile loop coming back to Woodrow Road, but we just did an out and back. Neato trail and other mountain biking trails are accessible from this area as well.
