Nice little resting spot for a night, very flat and quiet. Nice view of Loudoun Valley. Hiked by there today. I hid a penny in the fire ring... Finders keepers!!!

This is a nice camping spot along the AT. There's no amenities, just a basic flat cleared space to setup camp while backpacking. I went with some friends for a weekend hike, and it was exactly what we needed, very basic. There is a fire pit setup which is convenient.

It is a totally adequate campsite. I highly recommend installing far out, previously known as gut hooks, where people will post updates if there are things to be concerned about like the copperhead that made its home in the hole in the top of a log here earlier this year, which has since been eradicated.

The snake I mean, the log is still there. The Earth is flat enough to set up tents, there's a nice little fire pit in the middle, and there's decently secluded areas relatively close in one may relieve themselves should the need a rise. Did I have fun here? Not particularly, but that is not the fault of the campsite nor of any particular individual, that is simply how the weather worked out. It's a patch of Earth upon which you can put your tent. I do not know what more you could want, honestly. Maybe wear some fluorescent orange? There was some gunfire nearby.

4 Mile Campsite is a nice little space to set up a tent while hiking the Appalachian Trail. It is roughly 2 miles north of the parking lot at Keys Gap. (Note: if you are planning on resupplying your backpacking food, you might try asking for a ride into Charles Town from one of the many people who day hike from Keys Gap parking lot, as many of them are from around Charles Town, and it has a Super... 4 Mile Campsite is a nice little space to set up a tent while hiking the Appalachian Trail. It is roughly 2 miles north of the parking lot at Keys Gap. (Note: if you are planning on resupplying your backpacking food, you might try asking for a ride into Charles Town from one of the many people who day hike from Keys Gap parking lot, as many of them are from around Charles Town, and it has a Super Walmart there just 7.3 miles from the parking lot at Keys Gap. Or you could just walk to the gas station about half a mile or so, East on 9, from Keys Gap. It is more expensive than Walmart, but it is right there. Also note: hitch hike from that gas station, not on 9 right next to Keys Gap, since there is no easy way for a car to pull over there unless they are already planning on parking at Keys Gap. It is a busy rural highway, and there is a blind curve and hill, making it really dangerous for cars to pull over to the side of the road along there.)

Small but cozy camp site. The ground is rocky and tent stakes don't go into it well. Its right on the AT. There are stealth sites deeper into the woods. Afaik there is no water down the connected path. It's quite muddy when wet
