Everything was as expected, camped in the field with plenty of wood to gather for a fire. Some trails to walk with a small stream nearby.

Tommy made sure we had what we needed, but wasn't intrusive at all.
The site was private and quiet and relaxing.

Tommy was a great host during our stay in Morgantown. He was super quick to respond and the campsites were exactly what we expected them to be. There is not potable water directly at the campsites, but a hose is up by his house. You will need AWD to get to the campsites.

Great place to camp! The property was beautiful and camping area was clean. Tommy was great to communicate with, super fast getting back to my questions! Great location just outside Morgantown. Will certainly be back.

This was an excellent spot to camp! It’s close to I-68 and is a great spot to spend the night. Bobby was a great host and I’d happily spend another night here.

This is a good spot, private, but not too far away from things. I definitely think I will be returning in the future.

A good stay
This was a really nice secluded area perfect for camping. The field was lush and the grass was groomed well around the fire pit.
Unfortunately, it rained while we were there but it was clear enough to have laid there and looked at the stars !

Peaceful
We enjoyed our stay at Cheat View Outpost! The campsite was nice...a little uneven but workable. We took several walks around the property. The stone facings and Mountain Laurel are gorgeous!

Beautiful area with lots of trails!
This place was great! Tommy was a great host, with instructions that were clear and easy to follow. With multiple different camp sites on his property, there's an area there to suit everyone's needs, whatever they may be. My group and I particularly enjoyed being out by the fields and getting to see the night sky so clearly! Overall, the biggest complaint that my group had was the couple of ticks that we found roaming about on our clothes (we only found two, bid mind), but a bit of bug spray is all you need for that problem. Overall it was a great experience!

Hidden gem!
By far one of the best places I’ve camped at. Beautiful wooded area and nearby trails next to a hillside meadow that hides the road/couple nearby houses giving the feeling of total seclusion. Tommy is kind and friendly, he checked in with me shortly after arrival (didn’t mind that I arrived later than expected).
When arriving at the property, look for the sign with a white arrow at the bottom of the hill, there you’ll see a wide mostly grassy/dirt path with tire tracks that takes you to the camping area.
I was the only one there this weekend and got my choice of where to set up camp. Plenty of nearby kindling to collect and some split wood Tommy left by the fire ring made it easy to get a nice fire going.
As other reviews mentioned - this is about as primitive as you get. I would definitely camp here again.
One side note to those traveling by 2 wheels, as someone who frequently motorcycle camps, unless you have a dual sport/adventure bike, I personally wouldn’t try to get a bike down to the camping area. I’d recommend contacting the host beforehand for better suggestions on where you might be able to park bikes.

Breathtaking trip!
What an amazing location 💗 was blown away with the beauty of the trails and the camp location was a magical adventure exploring! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a remote quite spot with the most beautiful forests I’ve ever walked! Truly a blessing that this spot is available to visit. Thanks Tommy for sharing your slice of heaven

We had an amazing time. It was quiet and clean and we felt safe. Tommy was so nice and showed us the different sites. So much to explore right outside your tent. We would love to come back.

The site was great and clean . Should be wonderful in the spring with all the rhododendron. Tommy left few logs near to the fire pit , very nice gesture .

Great experience! The site was remote and isolated, just what I was looking for.
Tommy was very friendly and helpful. After taking me out to the site he answered all of my questions before leaving me to it. He said he was available should I need anything.
I recommend stopping by the bfs foods on cheat road for some fire wood and maybe a starter log. There was plenty of wood to forage but I found most of it wet. Everything else was perfect.

First time camping and using this site and we had a great experience! Tommy was very welcoming, greeting us when we arrived and offering to show us site options. The campsite we chose was remote in the woods, but we were able to drive our car close to it without issues (AWD vehicle is helpful). The site was private, had plenty of space, a fire pit and plenty of firewood nearby. Definitely recommend!

Great primitive campsites!
We had a great experience at Cheat View Outpost. The descriptions included were accurate and the directions were spot on. Tommy was very flexible and accommodating. We looked at three of the different sites that were all quite unique and well maintained. We found a little bit of garbage in the fire the previous campers left, but packed that out with us. There is plenty of wood around for fires. We brought our chainsaw which really made for an easy process. Tommy can refill water containers at his home when needed. There are lots of trails within the property that we explored with our two dogs. You can hear the adjoining campers, but you cannot see them, so there’s reasonable privacy there. We would definitely recommend to others and hope to come back again.

I was pleasantly surprised with the privacy and not having cars driving by all day. Peaceful. Relaxing. Only downfall, A hawk tried swooping up our 90lb fur baby. Lol. TRUTH.
