Natural Features and SceneryPicture yourself waking to mist rising off Lake Moomaw's pristine waters, where 2,530 acres of crystal-clear lake stretch before you. This aquatic wonderland plunges to depths of 150 feet and winds along 43.5 miles of undulating shoreline. The campground's unique position offers a photographer's dream: scattered groves of native trees frame expansive meadows that roll gently down to meet the water, creating intimate spaces for quiet reflection and wide-open vistas for spectacular sunrises.
Geological RegionPerched at Lake Moomaw's northern gateway, McClintic Point occupies a stunning transition zone where Appalachian forests give way to rolling meadowlands. This diverse landscape creates a patchwork of ecosystems—from shaded woodland groves perfect for hammock-hanging to sunny clearings ideal for stargazing. The varied terrain provides each campsite with its own character, whether you prefer the shelter of trees or panoramic water views.
