Riverside camping in Smoke Hole Canyon, famous for its 360-degree lazy river tubing and smallmouth bass fishing.

Big Bend Campground is situated within a dramatic horseshoe bend of the South Branch of the Potomac River in the Smoke Hole Canyon area of Monongahela National Forest. The campground features 46 standard non-electric campsites suitable for both tents and RVs, organized into two main sections: the River Loop and the Upper Loop. It is renowned for a unique '360-degree' tubing experience where the river loops back near the entrance. Facilities include vault and flush toilets, showers, and a seasonal RV dump station.
