37mi from Cedar Creek Campground · 4 sites · Tents, RVsA one hour drive from Charleston, WV!
Each riverside site is approximately a third of an acre in size and has mature shade trees!
This primitive setting is nestled along the Elk River, in northern Kanawha County, among both full-time residents and seasonal campsites.
Tent or hammock camp along the river bank! You're also welcome to camp almost anywhere on the property to find your perfect spot, if you'd prefer to be mountainside instead.
A lightly traveled dirt road runs through the property. While an SUV or 4x4 is recommended, regular cars can access the site. No campers or ATVs please. Our grounds are a great destination for the outdoor enthusiast, but we don't have quite enough parking space for our ATV friends.
While you're here, you have foot access to the river, and many places to walk. Feel free to bring your fishing gear, kayaks, bicycles, etc. and stay for a while. Please reach out if you have any questions, we can likely accommodate your needs.
The closest town is Clendenin, WV - which includes gas stations, restaurants, a grocery store, and access to the Elk River Trail. All around, you'll have many options for the Elk River Trail, Rail Explorers, Carol's Crossroads Best Restaurant (Maysel), and the upcoming Dundon Trailhead (Clay) - owned and operated by the WV Division of Natural Resources. Many DNR river access sites are nearby too, including Queen Shoals and King Shoals. If we're out of extras here, there are other watercraft rental options in the area, including Elk River Get-A-Way (Clendenin).
Note: Please make sure your arrival is between Wednesday and Sunday of the week.
