West Virginia’s Coolest, Newest, Vacation Cabin Rental and Hip Camping Resort!

Joe had been accumulating land in the Genoa, West Virginia, area for several years and had dreamed of building cabins, tree houses and uniquely designed vacation rentals and campsites on a beautiful area called Hampton Ridge.

Mike's place was perfect for a halfway stop on our trip from North Carolina to Indiana. He met us when we arrived and made sure we got to our hook up spot. He has a great place just off the river!

This is a funky little spot, don't be put off by the drive in. Mike has created a number (5?) of leveled gravel full hook up sites pretty close together, but very nice. Sweet communal fire pit right on a deck overlooking a little river. Fantastic bathroom with running hot water and shower! We would definitely camp here again. Thank you Mike.

Weekend Trip to Camp Comatose

We just wrapped up a magical weekend at Camp Comatose and I can’t say enough about the hospitality and vibe of this place! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed like family. The grounds are peaceful, well-kept, and full of character—just the kind of place that makes you want to unplug and actually relax. One of the absolute highlights? The live music. The band was incredible—great energy, great sound, and the kind of performance that pulls everyone together around the fire. It felt like a little music festival tucked into the woods. And let’s talk food—plenty of delicious options that kept everyone full and happy. Whether you’re a camper, glamper, or just stopping by for an event, you’ll find something to love. Huge thanks to Mike and Cori for making our stay so memorable. We’ll definitely be back. ✨ 10/10 recommend—Camp Comatose isn’t just a place to camp... it’s a whole experience. 💫
