Awesome location with hiking trails all around. The Appalachian trail wraps around the campground in a 20+ mile loop so Standing Indian is a great base camp for backcountry expeditions. Campsites are clean and there are plenty of restrooms no matter where you set up your tent. Choose from sunny, open field sites to shady creekside spots. Easy to find and access, definitely recommend!
