About this campground
Escape to McClintic Point, where rustic charm meets waterfront serenity at the northern shores of Lake Moomaw. This peaceful retreat beckons with its perfect blend of scattered shade trees and sun-drenched open meadows, offering campers the rare opportunity to pitch their tent just steps from the water's edge. Whether you're casting a line from the shoreline at dawn or watching the sunset paint the lake in golden hues, McClintic Point delivers an authentic outdoor experience far from the crowds.
McClintic Point is predominantly a primitive campground featuring lakefront campsites, group camping options, and areas suitable for tents. It caters to visitors seeking a rustic outdoor experience.
Historical SignificanceJust a short drive from camp, the historic town of Warm Springs invites exploration with its rich Appalachian heritage.

Weather and SeasonsFrom the first wildflowers of March through the crisp days of December, McClintic Point welcomes adventurers across three glorious seasons. Spring arrives with mild temperatures perfect for hiking and fishing, while summer brings warm days ideal for swimming and water sports.

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.
