Camping at Possum Holler Camp will provide you the perfect blend of solitude and recreation access. You will truly be in the heart of the New River National Park, yet still feel secluded in the beautiful woods without neighbors. You will have private access to beautiful and idyllic Mill Creek, which has many beautiful emerald pools and is even seasonally stocked with rainbow trout! Within a mile you can access the New River Gorge Bridge and the Canyon Rim Visitor Center, and you are equally close to the park's world class climbing, rafting, hiking, ziplining, and mountain biking at the New River Gorge National Park and surrounding areas. Your group will have the entire camp to yourselves, so there's no need to worry about noisy neighbors. Our driveway has recently been revamped to include more flat parking and a less steep access route! While these improvements are great, we still caution our guests to avoid bringing large trailers and to use 4WD if available in an attempt to minimize rutting in the future. We want you to enjoy a lovely campfire, but we ask that you purchase firewood locally because invasive pest species can travel in firewood. Possum Holler Camp is a Leave No Trace campsite, guests are asked to pack out anything they bring in and leave the area undisturbed. This includes damaging vegetation, creating new fire rings, or altering the natural area in any way. Also, please do not camp in the meadow area and only use the cleared out areas in the woods surrounding the parking and picnic/fire area for pitching tents. If you stay below the high water line, then feel free to move as far up or downstream Mill Creek as you like. The creek is indescribably beautiful in both directions! But please keep in mind that there is private property once you are above the high water line, please do not trespass on our neighbor's property.Pitch your tent along picturesque Mill Creek, where you will have access to a picnic table, charcoal grill, fire ring, and camp chairs. A variety of fish live in the creek, including stocked trout - bring your pole! You will be the only group at the whole site - nearly three acres - so you get the feel of being secluded without losing quick access to amenities. The site is minutes from all of the best New River Gorge attractions. You won't find a more perfect blend of beautiful solitude and convenient access to recreation, shops, restaurants, and bars. The site includes a number of flat parking spaces for car campers and campervans.

Possum Holler Camp

This spot is in the perfect location! It’s so close to the park and many trail heads and not far from any amenities. The camp matches the description perfectly and the directions were spot on. We were a little surprised by the zip lines being used above the creek, but they weren’t disruptive or loud at all. The driveway down is steep but we had no issue with all wheel drive. I’d definitely recommend possum holler when looking to stay in New River Gorge! This spot is a gem.

Awesome group camping site

This was a great site! Spread out, many areas for tents and other fun! There's a picnic table near the fire pit so that's great. The stream has some good pace and wonderful soothing sounds to fall asleep to. I would definitely stay again and recommend! The toilet is just a porta potty,but it was much appreciated.

Peaceful place near New River Gorge

Very peaceful spot to post up for the night after exploring New River Gorge National Park. About a 5 minute drive to the Visitor Center and Bridge Overlook. Perfect for overlanding vehicles (rooftop tents) and tent campers. I would not recommend bringing any towed vehicles as the approach into camp is rather steep and sharp off the main road.

Dog mom approved 👍🏼

We primarily booked this stay for our dogs. After exploring New River Gorge NP it was nice to let them run around off leash. We stayed late February and we got to see a dust of snow which was beautiful to see on the Rhododendrons!!

Beautiful site! I will definitely be back. So many nice spots to pitch a tent. Covered picnic table, grill, and a great fire ring. Matthew even gave us some suggestions for climbs in the area. 10/10
