Bolar Mountain Recreation Area Campground

Bolar Mountain Recreation Area offers four campground loops (Sugar Ridge, Campground 1, 2, and 3) with 123 total sites on Lake Moomaw's northern shore, featuring spacious, shaded sites with prime lakeside options, flush toilets, hot showers, and water/electric hookups at most loops.

The marina provides boat ramp access with modern dock and slips, plus kayak rentals and a small store for supplies.

Paddlers and anglers benefit from 11 miles of hiking trails, a designated swim beach, and easy lake access from campsites, though note there is minimal cell service and the area is remote—plan accordingly and bring supplies.
