We spent a very enjoyable week at Senica Shadows Forest Service CG. It's near a few cave systems that are worth visiting, and was a place the US Army trained mountain troops for the Normandy invasion. Great visitors center. There's also a couple of steam logging engine rides to the tops of local mountains along with a lot of history of the logging industry in the area. Also, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank, WV is just down the road. Between the tour and their visitor center you could easily spend a day there. The CG has only power at sites but a dump center and water available, but not at individual camp sites. That's the good news. Now perhaps the bad news, depending on how connected you are. Because of Green Bank, there is an electronics dead area around it that restricts radio, television, telephone, wifi, and any other electronics transmissions for an area of over 13,000 square miles. This means no wifi, no off air TV, no internet, no FM radio and very limited AM radio and NO PHONE WIRELESS SERVICE, voice, data or text. We had to drive about 30 miles over 3 ridges before we got a usable phone signal. We just loved it!
