Premium sites on the water will have higher fees due to their popularity and increase maintenance needs.

A fantastic spot to get away for a few days or more. The water is as clear as you could hope for. Camp sites could be a little more private but a fantastic experience overall. Be sure to pick up water, ice and firwood on your way in.

Absolutely love Bolar Mountain & Lake Moomaw. The water is so clear and beautiful, perfect for swimming and paddle boarding. Our site (54) had beach access and a partial view of the mountains. There is a small marina store nearby if you forget any essentials.

Another excellent trip to Moomaw. Bathrooms were clean, and cleaned regularly. Unfortunately two of the water spigots were out of service and required a longer walk to get fresh water, but it wasn't much of an inconvenience. The lake was uncharacteristically full for the time of year we visited, which was nice.
Popularity: Very quiet
Busiest in November, when about 1% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 4 years of reservations.
