Weekend Trip to Stoney Creek Campground

Stoney Creek campground one of the best beautiful please ! Nice river

4 nights at Stoney Creek Campground

This is one of the most beautiful places my group has ever camped at! Direct waterfront, tons of space, and very clean bathrooms. The Hipcamp host was super nice and the little general store on site had everything you would need. We WILL be back!

2 nights at River Trail Hollow

Very nice campsite. Large sites, peaceful and quiet. Bathroom and showers were clean. Very convenient for biking the Greenbrier Trail!

Weekend Trip to Bear Run Farms

We had a restorative stay in this very peaceful and beautiful nature retreat. There were 14 of us spread across the campsites and in the glamping cabins and all loved the experience.

Weekend Trip to Ray's Campground

Fantastic experience. The campground was well maintained and on beautiful grounds. We had a great time in our cabin. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

We had a wonderful experience at this campground! The owner was exceptionally kind, welcoming, and helpful—going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. The campground itself is beautiful, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere that made our stay truly relaxing. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. We truly appreciated the hospitality and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Taylors Landing Camping Club

Awesome site right by the C&O canal, and a short walk to the river. Greg was great and very informative about the area. Very beautiful area and I plan to be back!

Weekend Trip to Smith Ridge Harper's Ferry

We stayed at this amazing tiny house during a recent bikepacking trip, and it was exactly what we needed. Clean, dry, and super cozy, with a comfortable bed, hot shower, and an inviting deck where we could relax and listen to the breeze in the trees. It feels remote enough to give you that "camping in the woods" experience, but it's still close to the main road for a quick run into town. The space was thoughtfully set up, with everything we needed to be comfortable after a long day of riding. The bed was large and comfortable, and the hot shower was a total luxury. We loved spending time on the deck in the evening, soaking in the quiet and stars. The room even had a Keurig, and we spent a leisurely morning on the deck with coffee, serenaded by birds. What truly made the stay exceptional was the host, Matt. He went above and beyond to make sure we had water, cooking gear, and anything else we might need. Friendly, helpful, and respectful of our space — exactly the kind of person you hope to meet on the road. Highly recommend for any hiker, bikepacker, or traveler looking for a peaceful, well-equipped retreat in the woods. I’d absolutely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

My second stay at Brooklyn. Heights. It was rainy so I chose a cabin but there are some nice tent spots on the river. Super clean portapottis and Vincent is around to answer questions or take care of any problems. I particularly like that campers are expected to keep music confined to their campsite, so it's always pretty quiet.

Weekend Trip to Sacred Roots Herbal Sanctuary

We had a wonderful stay here and would definitely love to return in the future! Clear instructions and signs made finding our spot easy. Had probably the cleanest porta potty experience of my life. Campsite felt private with minimal bugs and LOTS of beautiful morning bird noises. The lands are definitely sacred and would highly recommend to any fellow lightworker or person in need of some nature healing 💖🌿

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Vincent was very welcoming and we could tell he puts a lot of thought into the campground and the visitor's stay. Can't wait to see what he has in store for the future. As for site B3, it offers a fair amount of privacy and room. We were able to set up a tent and canopy, with plenty of room to reconfigure once we realized rain was coming. No picnic table and some spots are at an angle, so plan accordingly. Plenty of firewood to pick up in the surrounding woods. We will be reserving site B3 for our next visit!

Weekend Trip to The Byrd's Nest on the River

This is an idyllic spot to camp and Cara provides everything you could need! The fairy lights were so cute and a great touch. It even poured and stormed while we were here, but we were dry and cozy all night under the roofed platform. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Weekend Trip to Buffalo Gap Retreat and Camp

The owner was SO nice and accommodating. It was a clean, peaceful space. We left early because of rain, but everyone agreed we'd like to come back.

Weekend Trip to Taylors Landing Camping Club

Greg was a great host! Communicated transparently and was there for anything we needed. Will be coming back! Our three kids under 6 LOVED IT!

Weekend Trip to Sacred Roots Herbal Sanctuary

This tent spot was perfect. Nestled on a peaceful, eco-conscious herb farm, it felt like stepping into another world; one where time slows down, the air smells like lavender and mint, and the night sky actually glows with stars. The campsite itself was simple but perfect: flat, well-maintained ground for our tent, with plenty of shade and privacy. There were thoughtful touches everywhere — a composting toilet that was clean and easy to use, with a rain-fed sanitation station, and a super comfortable and private outdoor shower. It’s clear the hosts care deeply about the land and about creating a gentle footprint. The atmosphere was mellow and welcoming — think wildflowers, herbal gardens, and wind chimes swaying in the breeze. There is a large covered pavilion where I ate my dinner and updated my journal. If you’re looking for a spot with good energy, real connection to nature, and a little off-grid charm, this is it. I'll definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to EarthSky Private Camp & Retreat

It was a great site! We would love to visit again!

Weekend Trip to EarthSky Private Camp & Retreat

A great spot for camping! They have a really nice setup which made everything super easy and it was feet from the water! I can't wait to come back!

3 nights at Ray's Campground

Rays campground is great! Amazing communal areas and super friendly staff. They were more than accommodating when we had questions. The sites you can reserve are nice and private and the bathrooms are nice and clean. Only thing I would be aware of is if you’re booking campsite 10 our car (volks wagon Tiguan) could barley make it up the gravel. All the other sites are fine though! We really enjoyed our stay!

Great place to stay! I stay there twice a year when I travel!

5 nights at Arrowhead Bike Farm & Campground

Great location near New River Gorge National Park. Very convenient to hiking and biking. friendly staff!

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.

With multiple campsites, car camping, and remote primitive sites, there are plenty of options for your next adventure. Located on 600 acres, we have developed the previously used agriculture land into a trail center in hopes of transforming the property from an underutilized farm into a facility that could support local outdoor recreation use and programming. Currently there are 14 miles of purpose built trails, with plans to install up to 30 miles of natural surface trails that will create access to and feature the natural beauty of the property, which includes open meadows, mature hardwood forests, rock outcroppings, an area of volcanic activity, seven freshwater springs, headwater streams (including Brook Trout habitat), and three distinct knobs. These features provide a rich and unique landscape for a trail system. With so much here, there is no need to leave the property. But if you’d like, we are sandwiched between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. An outdoor enthusiasts dream.

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.

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.

Camping in West Virginia guide

Overview

If you’re seeking mountain vistas, you’ve come to the right place! Bound by the Appalachian Mountains and the Allegheny Mountains, West Virginia is an alpine wilderness brimming with craggy peaks, cascading waterfalls, and forested ravines. Outdoor adventures are this state’s lifeblood, whether you’re hiking the Appalachian Trail, cooling off at a mountain lake, or enjoying some of the best rock climbing and whitewater rafting in the east. The main camping season runs from spring through fall, but winter getaways are still possible—six state parks offer year-round camping, and many RV parks and cabins stay open through ski season.

Where to go

Potomac Highlands

Winding mountain roads and backcountry hiking trails lead the way through the Allegheny Mountains and the Monongahela National Forest in eastern West Virginia. Four-season adventures await at Blackwater Falls State Park and Canaan Valley Resort State Park, which harbor some of the region’s best ski slopes, while rock climbers congregate at Seneca Rocks. Further east, Harpers Ferry is the gateway to the Appalachian Trail and home to the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.

Mountain Lakes

West Virginia’s central lakelands offer a welcome change of pace for campers. Pitch your tent or park your RV by Summersville, Sutton, or Stonewall Jackson lakes, and take to the water to boat, kayak, paddleboard, or fish. Encircled by forested mountains, there are still plenty of opportunities for hiking, especially at Audra and Holly River state parks.

Mid-Ohio & Metro Valleys

Victorian-era mansions and historic towns dot the banks of the Ohio River in the Mid-Ohio Valley, where campers can enjoy simple pleasures like woodland walks, river fishing, and sipping craft beer at a country pub. The 72-mile-long North Bend Rail Trail is the ultimate challenge for hikers and cyclists, and one of the most scenic sections runs through North Bend State Park. Continuing west, Charleston and Huntington are the principal towns of the Metro Valley, while the best campgrounds are hidden away in the Kanawha State Forest.

Southern West Virginia

Raging rivers, soaring cliffs, and vast swathes of wooded hills make up West Virginia’s southern region, affording endless options for adrenaline seekers. Rev up your OTV and explore 800 miles of off-road trails in the Hatfield-McCoy mountains, go mountain biking or horseback riding in Greenbrier State Forest, or check out the state’s best whitewater rafting at the New River Gorge and Gauley River National Recreation Area.
