Our two forests stretch from one end of Virginia to the other, as well as extending into West Virginia, along the ruggedly beautiful Appalachians.
Virtually every type of outdoor recreation activity you can imagine is available. Of course hiking, fishing, mountain bicycling and camping lead the way, but don't forget hawk watching, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, nature photography, and orienteering.
Whether you are driving a back-country road, enjoying our glorious fall colors, using binoculars to spot colorful neo tropical birds, or savoring the peacefulness of wilderness, remember that national forests are special places.
The George Washington & Jefferson's developed campgrounds are within easy reach of many of the forests' recreational opportunities. The campground season runs from early April to about October 31.
Campground fees are determined by the amenities provided. Reservations for Morris Hill, Trout Pond and Grindstone campgrounds are made by calling the National Recreation Reservation System at 1-877-444-6777. Group campsites are available in several areas. Contact the district offices for reservation information. Non-fee sites are generally more primitive and remote. Camping is also permitted outside of developed campgrounds. Please practice the "leave No Trace" ethic. There is a 21-day limit for camping.
