Big Laurel is a working cattle farm on land that has been in our family for 4 generations. The farm consists of 370 acres of bottomland pasture along the creek and quiet woodlands where you can explore jagged rock cliffs and beautiful vistas. The woodlands are undergoing transformation as we continue an ongoing forest rehabilitation project to return our land to its natural
state as a deciduous hardwood forest. Spotted on the farm is an amazing abundance of wildlife including wild turkeys, white tailed deer, pileated woodpeckers, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, bear, and red tailed hawks.

Established in 1983 on a 60-acre plot of land right in the Shawnee State Forest. The property is beautiful with flat land, fields, and at the back are the foot hills of the Appalachian Mountains. We put a horse farm on the land in 2000. The horses here are my family and I want to expand and offer more opportunities on the land. That's when I came across Hipcamp! I'm excited to share a piece of my heaven that I'm fortunate enough to call home.

This place is a private spot on about 80 acres. There is a wonderful path through the woods to the top of a hill for stargazing at night. The catch and release pond is across the street on their property and just the perfect size. There are multiple trails throughout the property. Lots of wildlife and beautiful nature to immerse yourself in. The hostess is very friendly and accommodating. Oh, I would highly recommend getting the lights to surround your tent area to make it easy to find your way back if you night hike. This is the perfect place to unplug!

We chose this site for a fall friends trip and couldn't have been happier about the spot! Gorgeous views, attentive host, and decent seclusion. The site was well maintained and the retreat wasn't crowded with too many camping spots. Almost zero road noise so evenings were very peaceful. Highly recommend, and we will be returning for years to come. Thank you for a great weekend, Daniel!

I really enjoyed the peace and quiet of camping on Beth and Brian’s land. They were very accommodating to me (a motorcycle camper). I purchased firewood from them and it was there when I arrived. Will definitely camp here again and will shoot a video for my YouTube channel. A very nice experience that I highly recommend. But a word of caution, if you are intending to ride your motorcycle to the campsite, it better be an off-road or adventure bike. Otherwise it is best to park in the provided parking area.

This is hand's down my favorite Hipcamp yet! It's a beautiful spot, perfect for being immersed in nature and "off grid", although I did have cell reception while I was there. I had planned on using this as a base camp for exploring other parks in the area, but after arriving I didn't want or need to leave! The interconnected trails on the property provide plenty of hiking and wandering opportunities, and the pond is the perfect addition for swimming, fishing, or just relaxing.
Beth is a wonderful host! She was kind, helpful, and communicative, and her directions made getting there very easy.
I"m already planning my next trip there!

Where to go
Huntington Surrounds
Huntington and its immediate surroundings offer plenty to discover for nature lovers. The Paul Ambrose Trail for Health is a multi-use trail stretching more than 18 miles along the Ohio River, open to cyclists, runners, and walkers. It passes through various points of interest like scenic overlooks and historical sites. One stop is Ritter Park, a favorite spot for outdoor activities that boasts over 100 acres of green space. The Huntington Museum of Art features serene outdoor gardens and sculptures, and the Heritage Farm Museum and Village has a charming petting zoo and provides a glimpse into the region's past.
New River Gorge National Park & Preserve
Head east along I-64 and arrive in this outdoor lover's paradise in around two hours. Recently upgraded to national park status, it's known for its world-class rapids–whitewater rafting and kayaking are especially popular here. The hiking and biking trails are suitable for all skill levels. Alternatively, go rock climbing, take a scenic drive through the countryside, or learn about the region’s history at the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine.
Beech Fork State Park
Less than 30 minutes from Huntington, Beech Fork State Park spans 3,000 acres filled with hiking and biking trails. The park's centerpiece is Beech Fork Lake, which offers fishing, boating, swimming, and sunbathing on the sandy beach. Exploring the park's 26 miles of trails through rolling hills and hardwood forests is a treat for hikers and mountain bikers.
When to go
The best time to visit Huntington is from late spring through early fall, with the most pleasant weather in the spring and fall months. Summers can be hot and humid, but the area's many lakes and parks provide relief from the heat. The fall foliage in the area is particularly vibrant in October and November. Winters can be cold, but snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are popular at nearby state parks.
