Camping:: Mountain State Outdoor center: has showers and is close to eveything, can be noisy; Roger's (Kaymoor): cheap, no frills, no rafters, no hassles; roadside: not allowed in climbing access parking areas, free, hassle potential (local sheriff once warned us that there were heathens around)
Showers:: Rivermen: cheap + guys have the option of using the outdoor showers - plenty o' hot water; Mountain State: acceptable
Food:: Class 6 (Ames Heights Rd): best by far, pricey, but all you can eat, must call in advance; Sedona Grill (Fayetteville): decent and cheap - breakfast lunch and dinner; Kroger (open 24 hours); Decent chinese, mexican and most fast foods available in Oak Hill
Mountain Biking:: tons. check out the bike shop on the left as you enter Fayetteville for maps, etc.
Oh yeah, climbing - these are my favorites: Trad - Endless Wall, Beauty Mountain; Easy trad - Junkyard; Sport, steep - Kaymoor Glory Hole, Summersville Lake; Sport, less steep - Endless Wall; Easy sport - not much, look for crowds at the base
