This is a very pretty place that the Appalachian Trail cuts through. Plenty of parking that is safe. I have taken day hikes from here and camped overnight without worrying about the safety of my car. There is a very nice shelter on the trail for camping it is called the Crampton gap shelter. It is first come first serve and sleeps about 8 people but you might end up sharing it with thru hikers. I usually leave the shelter for them. They have certainly earned it. There are plenty of rustic campsites with fire rings made of rock and some have fixed benches and tent pads. There is also a shelter with a nice fireplace next to the parking lot but it is more for hikers to rest or for picnics. It has plenty of picnic tables.

I came across this park by accident (I was lost and driving around aimlessly). I stopped to see what it was, and am definitely glad I did. There are some really cool historic attractions/information and access points to the Appalachian Trail, which I walked a couple of miles to check it out. Can't wait to return and explore more!

I've only been here while hiking on the Appalachian Trail. It's a pretty nice spot to stop for lunch under the pavilion, take a bathroom break, and fill up on fresh water. The monument is really neat and you should walk around and check out all the historical signs and markers. If you are headed SOBO you're only about 4 to 5 miles from Ed Garvey shelter but the spring there is a real pain to get to, fill up on water here!

Great air. No bad smells. Lots of sexy raccoons.

If you are in to the civil war era then you will love this park.

Some interesting landmarks here. Right on top of the ridge. Some nearby trails you can hike (they are OK). Just some signage and history. Not much to engage with otherwise. The arch/wall is the best part.

Cute out of the way spot to stop for a small picnic. Many AT through-hikers stop for a rest in the shaded pavilion. Moderately to not very interesting buildings and ruins abound. A good spot to park and walk a mile or two on the AT.

With a picnic area and a few paths this park is decent enough for a small family outing but didn't offer enough in terms of interest to keep me coming back. It's fun to talk to the Appalachian Trail hikers coming off for a rest but other than that this park doesn't pack a whole lot of anything except a few historical plaques.
