Property was owned by my great grandfather , He lost 150 acres in the early 1900's due to a bad debt from neighboring landowner. Was so happy to be able to repurchase the 150 acres back in 2016,now own the original land tract and added more. 250 acres in total. Portions were strip mined around 1978-1982 creating some flat fields and access to all property. I might add that strip mining if done properly can and does enhance the property. Ponds were built to catch runoff and several new animal species moved in waterfowl ,muskrats, and beavers. The beavers have constructed large dams on property further adding to the beauty. Have seen several bald eagles on and around the property.

Mountainous area close to national forests,whitewater,trout fishing, Has 6 large ponds in campground ,plenty of spectacular views and wildlife. enjoy sharing the land I love so much. Just minutes away from Cranberry back country ,Cranberry glades, Hillscreek falls and the highland scenic highway. 8 miles off of route 19 where you can enjoy Summersville Lake and Gauley River Whitewater. Just a few miles on down the road to the New River Gorge, where on an October day guests from around the world come to jump off a perfectly good bridge, with parachutes attached of course. To many mountain streams to list all, where I myself enjoy fishing for our state fish Native brook trout. Cell service is sketchy in places, which I consider a plus if you want to enjoy all the beauty. My friend Rick Greene will take you and your family via mules and wagon to trout fish the Cranberry River, where no motor vehicles are permitted. Access only on foot, bike or horse. By appointment at [xxxxxxxx] . Numerous walking trails and ATV trails. The Williams, Elk and Cranberry rivers are some of the best trout streams in the eastern U.S.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Beaver Lakes offers a peaceful camping experience with plenty of space and stunning views. The host, John, is consistently praised for his friendliness and attentiveness, making guests feel right at home. Campers appreciate the balance between primitive, secluded spots and the convenience of full hookups. While the campsite is largely loved for its quiet and scenic environment, some mention limited facilities like the single bathhouse, but it rarely poses a problem due to the low traffic.

    Going into this campsite we were really just expecting a place to park our camper, a 31' travel trailer, and maybe have water and power. Boy were we surprised. We ended up with both and then some. John met us at check in and is probably one of the friendliest, laid back people you will ever meet. He gave me the basics and then provided the real information, like where to see the best views on the property, etc. We got set up and just admired the scenery that afternoon, That night it was nice and peaceful with hardly any noise. The next day we explored the property and took in the sights of nature. That evening we sat under the stars and just enjoyed the peace and quiet. Sunday John came up and checked on us and gave us some more useful information and basically treated us like family. If you are looking for the RV resort feel, this is not your place. If you want to have some peace and quiet and be treated like a family member, this is the place you want to go. Plenty of room for off-grid or tent camping if you want. We are already planning our next visit and hope to stay a little longer.

    Tent camped at Beaver Lakes Campground with pets, Oct 2026.

    Great place! John, the host, was excellent. I called him when I pulled in. We chatted and he took me to a great level spot. Upon chatting further, he offered me the top of the mountain. There was a steep dirt road that led to a previously mined mountain top. It was flat, covered in mowed grass and a couple trees. The trailer was vacant for the weekend so I was alone—solitude and darkness were my requests and this was the perfect spot. Sunset was amazing; dawn was nice but didn’t provide the colors that morning for photos . I had booked 3 nights, but left my house a day late and a severe storm came through the last night of my trip, so only 2 night. No worries! I definitely plan on coming back. I did not fish but could have.
