Weekend Trip to Tawney Farm's Wild & Woolly

Great place with amazing views. Loved how quiet and peaceful it was. Susan and James were very friendly and kind. They offered us a site right next to the pavilion due to the rainy weather. Even though the weather wasn't great during our stay we had a cozy and peaceful time. Was great seeing the sheep and meeting little Peanut the pony.I'm looking forward to a future visit and seeing the nearby Gualey river again.

1 night at Mountain Magnolia Forest Farm

Nice and quiet and directions were easy to follow.

3 nights at Mountain Magnolia Forest Farm

The location is perfect-- very convenient to all things New River Gorge. The campsite is very quiet and clean. We enjoyed the gurgling of the creek and the birdsong. I heard several different warblers. The site is small, but our little teardrop camper fit perfectly. The composting toilet outhouse is clean, airy, not at all smelly and just a short walk away. The campsite is very near a quiet road and there's a house within sight, but you can arrange your campsite so that it still feels private. This is the perfect place if you want somewhere quiet to sleep after a day of exploring NRGNP.

3 nights at Beaver Lakes Campground LLC.

Nice welcome from John. Sites are well marked and equipment (electric/water) worked as it should. Good location though a bit of a hike to New River Gorge.

Weekend Trip to Mountain Magnolia Forest Farm

This little site was a perfect spot to tent camp near a popular part of New River Gorge. It was private but very close to the trail head for the Endless wall and Fayetteville. We would definitely stay again if in the area!

Weekend Trip to Mountain Magnolia Forest Farm

Such a beautiful spot! I enjoyed every minute I spent under the tall trees next to the creek. Extra bonus was the outhouse with a homemade composting toilet. I had a nice campfire one evening and spent most evenings enjoying the cold while snuggled inside a sleeping bag. It felt so remote, but there was a sweet neighbor who tooted his horn in greeting as he drove by, and the little town of Fayetteville was only a few minutes away. Super quick to get to the Endless Wall for hiking or climbing. I would definitely want to return to this HipCamp!

1 night at Mountain Magnolia Forest Farm

Great place to camp!! Firepit and lots of sticks around to start a fire. We did hot dogs and smores by the fire it was awesome. There is an outhouse that’s tidy and just a small walk up the hill. (no tp so be sure to bring some). There is another house nearby but otherwise it’s pretty private. Easy directions and comfy area. Not far from endless wall trail which me and my boyfriend ended up hiking. Great camping trip would stay here again!!!!

1 night at Mountain Magnolia Forest Farm

Beautiful spot. Very private and quiet! Plenty of places to set up a tent along the little creek. The toads/bugs/whatever were so loud and I loved it! Even heard some owls. 10/10. Oh and everything is crazy close to drive to, so that’s a plus. I’ll definitely camp here again!

Perfect spot right next to the national park! Amazing hiking trails just a few minutes away. The camping area is cozy but comfortably fit our 4-person tent. A wonderful, rustic spot for anyone looking to experience nature. Highly recommend!

Tawney Farm's Wild & Woolly

10 sites · RVs, Tents129 acres · Summersville, WV

What says agritourism more than a primitive campground on a sheep farm in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia? Here you’re only a short drive from the New River Gorge National Park where you can go whitewater rafting or take a hike and experience the stunning beauty of the gorge, swim or paddleboard in Summersville Lake or go rock climbing on one of around 150 routes on the crags of the lake. In addition, you’ll be within walking distance of the Gauley River with all it’s wild untamed beauty where you can kayak, swim, fish, paddleboard, or splash in a waterfall. Not to mention being on a sheep farm, you can have the opportunity to learn about wool and wool processing. You can even learn how to felt wool and take home your creation! The Tawney Farm is a small-scale wool sheep farm adjacent to the beautiful Gauley River National Recreation Area and just a short drive to the New River Gorge National Park. Our farm lies nestled in between two beautiful mountains, one of them named Panther Mountain, in the Gauley River gorge. Here we raise Merino and Jacob sheep for wool where we process the fiber and either sell it to other fiber artists or felt it into crafts and hats ourselves. Our farm is also home to a miniature horse, chickens, and of course dogs and cats. In addition to the NRG and Summersville Lake and Dam, also close by are Carnifex Ferry Battleground State Park where you can see where a crucial civil war battle took place, as well as Babcock State Park with its iconic grist mill and waterfall. Our region has it all! But why stay in an overcrowded, commercial campground? Leave the beaten path and enjoy peaceful and private, safe and secure primitive camping on our mountain farm. We provide 7 sites on our farm for every camping style, from dry RV to tent, each with a table, fire pit and grill. All sites are spaciously separate from one another for privacy and perfect for couples who want to get away from it all, or for families or groups of friends who want to reconnect and catch up. Get away from it all! Experience the wilderness and wonder of West Virginia as only a native West Virginian could. Fry up some farm fresh eggs over the campfire or grill. Park-style grills, fire pit grills and tables are provided for your use. Very affordable firewood is available. And to make your "roughing it" camping experience not so rough, we've added a few amenities! Clean portajohns are provided as well as a common area with a dishwashing station and a "to die for" outdoor hot water shower (above-freezing temperatures permitting)! Green and lush in the summer and brilliant hues of red, gold and orange in the fall. Come see what the mountain lakes region of West Virginia has to offer at the Tawney Farm.

Bare Cove

Bare Cove is a recreation lake with campsites. However, we are not your typical camp ground. We have no quiet hours, we do get loud and have a great time on the weekends. It’s not uncommon for beer pong or card games to go into the early hours. We are open to all ages and backgrounds, anybody that enjoys making friends and having fun on the lake. All guests must sign personal injury waivers to cover our 6. So about the property, it’s 120+ acres with a 5 acre man made lake that features blue waters, a beach area and tikibar. We have atv trails, private camp sites and group sites. Enjoy the day floating in the clear blue water, fishing (separate pond) or hiking. Our lake also features a launch pillow for blasting your friends up to 20 ft in the air! We do have large float's for rent, which are great for groups. Thanks for looking, would love to host you and your party out at the lake.
