Directions	Notes
From the National Capital Beltway (I-495),        take I-66 West to I-81 South.	I-81 is approximately 64 miles from the beltway
Follow I-81 South to exit 247B (Harrisonburg). Take exit ramp onto Route 33 West.	You will go through the center of Harrisonburg after leaving I-81. Stay on Rout 33 the entire time. You are now 70 miles from Spruce Knob.
Stay on Route 33 West into West Virginia, through the towns of Brandywine and Franklin, then to the intersection of Route 33 and 28 at Judy Gap.	Judy Gap is approximately 14 miles after Franklin. Franklin is the last place your cell phone will reliably work. You are now about 18 miles from Gatewood Campground.
From the intersection of Rt. 33 and Rt. 28, go left (south) on Rt. 28 for about 8.5 miles through Circleville and Cherry Grove and then turn right onto Sawmill Run Road, CR28-10.	Circleville has a small gas station and food mart. It’s your last contact with civilization and has the closest pay phone to Gatewood on this route. Sawmill Run Road is about half a mile past the large brown Monongahela Natural Forest sign
Follow CR28-10 for about 2.5 miles and take a hard left turn at the intersection with CR28-9. Stay on CR28-10.	The paved road will turn to gravel on this leg. Ignore the small signs for the Gatewood trail, along the way.  These are not for the Gatewood Group Campsite.
Take a right onto PR-112. Follow the brown signs for Spruce Knob and Spruce Knob Lake.	You depart from CR28-10 at this point.
Continue strait the junction for Spruce Knob, Spruce Knob Lake (PR-1) and Whitmer.	Go towards Spruce Knob.
Turn left at the sign for Gatewood Group Campsite (PR-131).	Please lock the gate behind you. The campground is one mile ahead at the end of the road. Congratulations, you made it!
