4-H Camp Pioneer stands out as a unique destination due to its rich historical ties to the national 4-H organization, which began in Randolph County over a century ago.

This legacy continued with numerous camps throughout the county, culminating in the establishment of 4-H Camp Pioneer as the permanent site for 4-H activities in 1952.
Today, 4-H Camp Pioneer serves not only as a vibrant 4-H camp but also as a versatile event center and agricultural venue. Each year, it hosts a variety of events, including the Randolph County Fair, horse shows, rodeos, and private gatherings such as weddings and reunions.
The campground is conveniently located on the agricultural campus next to the Dakan Arena and Agricultural Complex. It offers essential amenities, including 30 Amp and 50 Amp electrical service, water hookups, and sewage connections. Guests can also enjoy complimentary WiFi during their stay.

46mi from Shinnston · 56 sites
4-H Camp Pioneer stands out as a unique destination due to its rich historical ties to the national 4-H organization, which began in Randolph County over a century ago. In 1915, the world’s first organized 4-H camp, known as “Camp Good Luck,” was established on a farm in southern Randolph County, just south of the current camp. This legacy continued with numerous camps throughout the county, culminating in the establishment of 4-H Camp Pioneer as the permanent site for 4-H activities in 1952.
Today, 4-H Camp Pioneer serves not only as a vibrant 4-H camp but also as a versatile event center and agricultural venue. Each year, it hosts a variety of events, including the Randolph County Fair, horse shows, rodeos, and private gatherings such as weddings and reunions.
The campground is conveniently located on the agricultural campus next to the Dakan Arena and Agricultural Complex. It offers essential amenities, including 30 Amp and 50 Amp electrical service, water hookups, and sewage connections. Guests can also enjoy complimentary WiFi during their stay. With its blend of history, community events, and modern facilities, 4-H Camp Pioneer is a cherished hub for both local residents and visitors alike.

Lovely spot. Had a great time stargazing and listening to the wildlife. Was really nice to see coopers rock during the day and stay in a quiet spot at night. Host was really nice and made sure we were comfortable but left us to it for the weekend.

Beautiful, peaceful spot! Conveniently located near the town of Parsons for quick runs to the gas station, McDonald’s, or Dollar General, yet still close to scenic nature trails and Blackwater Falls State Park. I felt very welcomed, and my space was respected throughout my stay. Plus, you can even bring your fur babies! I’ll definitely be back.

Tommy's place is gorgeous land! There are nice fields and woods. It felt entirely safe for women to camp alone. It was easy to find using the instructions and we didn't need 4wd. Would definitely go back!
Tommy is delightful and didn't make fun of me when I said I saw a big bear. It was really a cow in the neighbor's pasture, way off in the distance.

We are fortunate enough to start our camping adventures on Sunday nights. There have been only a couple of other guests here since we got here on Sunday. It is raining today, but very enjoyable. We got to cook breakfast over the campfire and we’ll just improvise this evening. This place is real getting back to nature. It’s good to just enjoy the quiet of nature. This is our second trip to this campground we rate it pretty high.

Nice stop in the woods along river. We stayed in an RV Spot that had electric and fresh mountain water if you needed it. The Grounds are spread out well. Its more for tents and boondoockers. Would suggest to come with full fresh water tanks and empty gray and black before coming. The road to the campground is a bit narrow, curvy, but doable. Be prepared to move over at times to let a cars pass opposite direction. We had a 25ft Class C. All in all it was quiet at night. The river was low but I suspect some good fishing during stock time.

Friendly owners and workers. If you need anything ask Vince or Jim! Always around to help. Spacious spot for our 17 foot RV and truck. RV1. So much to do within the area for your day trips. Some two hours away but worth the trip. Some half hour away and great too! Plan a week to see it all! Cute buses you can rent and a tipi (tee pee). Which is awesome!!

This was perfect for what I was needing. Nothing fancy, a field on the edge of the woods with a firepit. It felt very private, but wasn't far at all from the road. I parked near my site so I didn't have to haul anything to my site. Great experience!

Our site was just beautiful!! Surrounded by the river with its rocky banks, native flowers, and a huge chestnut tree that made a natural canopy for our picnic table. It was so peaceful, yet so alive!
I would recommend Earth Sky Campground to everyone!

A buddy and I were both a little wound up with the daily grind. (Work, Kids, sports). We were looking for a quiet place to disconnect and enjoy being away from it. Earthsky worked out great, riverside, flat sites, and limited sites. We were there for 3 nights and had the whole place to ourselves. Dusty came down and introduced himself and gave us the run down. Will definitely come back.

Great spot near the Cheat River. We stayed at one of the primitive sites with our dog. In the mornings, we'd walk directly to the river for a cold bath and some dog splashing then go on long walks at the end of the day up and down the very rural country road along the Cheat (experienced no traffic on a 2 hour walk other than a four-wheeler). The port-o-potty was the cleanest I've ever been in (and I've been in a lot...), and there was even some air freshener provided. The campsites are close to one another, so it's not the most private, but there were only a few people there during our stay. If you're looking for a place for social camping, I bet Brooklyn Heights would be a fun place to go in the summer when it's full.
Though we didn't avail ourselves of it, there was a nice tent-covered cafe near the firewood station; there were even tables and chairs provided within so you could sit and have a chat before you meet the day. Very nice. We'll definitely be going back and might think about staying in one of the dwellings if we stay for longer than two nights. Those looked very cozy and convenient and private.
Great camping spot. And Vincent is clearly very conscious of keeping the campsite in good order (thanks, V). Lovely place with lots of small towns nearby and great hiking. Our dog loved it, as did we.

Great peaceful stay on Tommy’s farmland, and he was so accommodating! He came out to meet me at the road going into his usual camping area, and when I expressed concerns about my van’s low clearance, he let me camp up on a gravel driveway that was level-ish that led to his horse barn. It was much closer to the road, but there isn’t a lot of traffic - so this was a great idea and big favor on his part to help me out. The road from Snake Hill Road to his farm was narrow, but the neighbors were very nice in getting over to help with passing one another. All in all, a great place at a great price - and I’d stay again if in the area.

I had such a wonderful experience at Earth Sky’s River Front Camping Spot. The camping area itself was absolutely beautiful — peaceful, scenic, and the perfect place to relax on the river. Emily and her husband were incredibly kind and welcoming, going above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. They even had an extra amenity available and provided me with firewood, which made my evening by the river even more enjoyable. Their recommendations for Arden Falls and other sightseeing spots were spot on — each one was tranquil and worth the visit. I couldn’t have asked for a better camping getaway!
