(11)
5.2mi from Summersville · 1 site · Tent
Nestled in the forest above Summersville Lake lies Camp Peak + Pine -- a peaceful haven for campers, climbers, and lake folk alike. Enjoy camping under pine trees with subtle lake views. Peak + Pine provides shade and a sense of tranquility. Rest at your campsite or venture off to the crags (very close to the Meadow and the Lake) or nearby hiking trails. We are just minutes from Battle Run Boat Launch, Gauley River put-in, and beautiful views at the Summersville Dam. Drive just a mere 5 minutes and explore or picnic at Carnifex Ferry State Park -- they have the best panoramic river view! Check out Ample Pizza and Freefolk Brewery -- just a quick 12 minute drive -- and halfway to the National Park! We are a quick trip to the New River Gorge National Park (about 15 miles) and just a twenty minute drive from downtown Fayetteville (most importantly -- Rangefinder coffee, Rosa's Speakeasy Bar and Garden, and Wood Iron Cafe). Explore Fayette Station where you can find a river front beach, waterfalls, and hiking trails. We offer the perfect spot to relax with your friends or family. Pups are totally welcome -- they must be leashed. Please note that the steep sloping hill behind camp that goes down to the lake is NOT our property but the Army Corps. Please see our link to Army Corps / Summersville Lake rules and regulations. This campsite is adjacent to our home and our neighbor's a-frame! We are mindful of camper's privacy so we do not use that backside of our home while we have campers. You have full access to "The Peak + Pine Loop" which begins at the top of the shared driveway / porta-potty to the entire forest campsite area to the amenity station. When entering and exiting the property you may find us gardening or sitting on our front porch watching the sunset. Need something? Shoot us a message and we are happy to try to accommodate. We are happy to offer recommendations for trails, put-ins, climbing crags, boat rentals, restaurants, shops, etc. Whether you're here to climb, paddle, hike, or simply unwind, Peak + Pine is your cozy basecamp in the woods. Just minutes from the magic of Summersville Lake, this place holds something special — and we’re so excited to share it with you.

4. Harper Road Hipcamp

44mi from Summersville · 1 site · RV
Welcome to Harper Road Hipcamp, a simple and peaceful gravel lot located at the Surveyor Mini Mall — the perfect stop for travelers exploring southern West Virginia’s scenic mountain region. Just down the road from beautiful Lake Stephens, this easy-access spot offers a convenient place to park your camper, van, or small RV while you enjoy the area’s many nearby adventures. Within minutes, you’ll find local eateries in Glen Daniel, a scenic drive over Bolt Mountain, and quick access to Beckley for shopping, dining, and supplies — along with many other local attractions. You’ll be less than 30 minutes from Fayette County’s outdoor destinations, including world-famous spots like the New River Gorge Bridge, Grandview, and ACE Adventure Resort — perfect for hiking, rafting, or simply taking in the breathtaking Appalachian views. For a relaxing day by the water, Bluestone Lake and State Park are only about 40 minutes away. While you’re here, take time to visit the Upper Big Branch Miners Memorial in Whitesville — a moving tribute to the 29 miners who lost their lives in 2010 and a powerful reminder of the region’s deep coal-mining roots. This is a great overnight or weekend stop for travelers passing through or exploring the region. Enjoy a level gravel pad, easy in-and-out access, and the convenience of being roadside. Whether you’re road-tripping, camping on a budget, or just looking for a safe and simple place to rest, Harper Road Hipcamp offers a friendly and convenient base for your Appalachian adventure.
