Possum Holler Camp
We had a great 3 night stay .
Steep driveway looked daunting, but it was nicely graveled, and my 2 wheel drive van had no problems getting up or down.
Provided porta potty was nice and clean .
Bundles of firewood are available for sale on site that we took advantage of .
Site was large and private .
Multiple spots to set up tents or hammocks by the beautiful creek.
The dog had a great time … was nice to be able to let her run around off leash .
Great location with easy access to the bridge and the Canyon Rim Visitor Center.
Nice general store is just a short dive away that serves great food .
We visited two breweries in the area … Free Folk Brewery and Bridge Works Brewery … recommend them both .
Nicely wooded and shady while the leaves are on the trees. Tons of rhododendron trees … must be beautiful when they are in bloom .
Would definitely stay here again in the future … highly recommended.

We loved camping here! The site was very convenient to the New and Gauley rivers and we appreciated the total privacy. The little extras that were provided were thoughtful and helpful. Such a beautiful and serene spot. Would definitely come back!

Possum Holler Camp
We absolutely loved this campsite. It was very secluded and beautiful. There is a little bit of road noise but it's really not that bad. With all that this area has to offer the road noise is worth it. It is right next to a creek and if the water had been flowing it would have been even better. We are definitely planning I'm going back in the spring. There are rhododendrum trees all around at the campsite, I'm told that they will bloom beautifully, I cannot wait to see them. Our host was always responsive and keeps the site very nice! Having the firewood already there and the portapotty was a real bonus. I cannot say enough nice things about this pla e. It is one of the best HipCamps I've ever been to.
The location is perfect literally minutes from the area's hiking and whitewater rafting and so much more.

Such a great site!! The driveway is steep but easy with an SUV. The creek was very low but provided nice ambiance anyways. Lots of tent spots as well as plenty of hammock locations. Easy access to the park and activities!

We loved this site! Clean, great set up. The creek was beautiful and a lot of fun. We loved falling asleep to the sound of it at night. It’s also situated in a great location if you’re there to do some hiking, paddling, etc.

Beautiful spot. Short distance to the park. Matthew was easy to work with and had the camp set up well.

We thoroughly enjoyed escaping the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. We were thrilled to bring our two large dogs with us and enjoy the creek and the beauty of WV nature. We had several trees to choose from to hang our hammocks and plenty of room to put up our tents. You can hear the creek water trickling as you relax near the fire pit. There was a tote with items that were helpful and a grill as well as bundles of firewood that could easily be purchased. Check in and out was amazing as we did not have to meet with anyone. We were able to enjoy our short stay without worrying about neighboring campers which was the experience we were needing and hoping for.

Things we loved:
- Firewood onsite
- Easy access to creek
- Rhododendrons in bloom everywhere
- Shaded with dappled light
- 5 min drive to New River Gorge Visitor Center
- Tarp covering over picnic table
- Each tent site was tucked away between the trees with pathways in between. Enough privacy between tents but still felt close enough to others.
Things to be aware of:
- Road to site is very steep. Everyone who joined in sedans parked at the top of the hill. People with SUVs and trucks parked at the campsite.
- Road to get to site is a little narrow. Just be careful and be prepared to pull off if need be! It’s about 1.5 cars wide.

Best site of our 5 night trip... It's secluded, right on a beautiful river, plenty of test spots, although we used a Roof Top Tent in the stone parking area - beautiful trees... and it rained some so we really appreciated the tarp shelter set up over the picnic table. We will definitely return. We didn't use the firewood however, it was nice to have it there in case, with a great fire pit.

Great campsite near everything at Great River Gorge!
Campsite is clean, has a picnic table and tarp. Very convenient if you're spending a few days in the area hiking or rafting. We look forward to going back!

This place is absolutely amazing! It was exactly what our family was looking for. It’s near town but secluded and peaceful. The creek was a blast for the kids. So many places to set up tents or hammocks! The porta potty was clean. We bought firewood from the rack there and that was SO very convenient! The drive is steep but well graveled. All or 4 wheel drive needed.
Fireflies were out. The raccoons are thieves so lock it up.
All in all this was a wonderful camp to call home for a few days.

We loved, loved, loved this private camp site! It was close to everything we wanted to do, but felt so secluded. We had one overland tent vehicle (4x4), and one truck tent (4x2) and the 2 wheel drive truck had no problem getting up and down the gravel hill. It was a moist trip while we were there, but there were few bugs, and a great peace in the air. We loved it! We visited Freefolk Brewing and Pies & Pints - We very much recommend after long hikes!

Possum Holler Camp
Beautiful camp site, plenty of space to stretch out. River right near by, great background noise to fall asleep to. Proximity to NP is tough to beat. Matthew was very responsive, I booked the site when I found all the FCFS sites in the park were taken and Matthew was able to accommodate me and there was plenty of firewood

Possum Holler Camp
We absolutely loved this spot! I can't say enough good things about it. It's beautiful, the water is just steps away. It was a bit to cold for this trip but I definitely plan on making another trip this summer! The host Matthew was so kind and helped me with any questions I had super fast which I can appreciate. The porta potty was clean. We had a blast exploring the river. We had no problems getting to the site. The directions were really easy to follow. It felt safe and we barely saw any cars and if you do it's hard to really pay any mind to it. It's a great site I recommend it!

Possum Holler was a lovely campsite. It was very thoughtful of the host, Matthew, to provide a picnic table with a tarp overtop. The tarp proved super helpful during our rainy stay! The port o potty, fire ring and firewood for purchase were also nice amenities! Possum Holler was quiet and peaceful and feels so much more secluded than it is! It is conveniently close to New River Bridge/Gorge attractions , but in nestled in a lovely woodland site along the babbling creek and magical rhododendron undergrowth. I bet it is spectacular when the Rhododendron flowers bloom! The creek was a relaxing sound and was crystal clear with emerald pools. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

What I great location. Secluded but not too secluded. Beautiful foliage this time of year (late Oct). Picnic table and fire pit provided. The creek was awesome to explore. I'm definitely planning on booking again 😁

Awesome host and amazing site! Far enough away from town to feel secluded but close enough to still order pizza. Close to local attractions like adventures on the gorge, local grocery store and restaurant literally 5 minutes down the road and the majestic New River bridge. Will be coming back next year to enjoy the river/stream next to the campsite.

Possum Holler is in a great location very close to trails and sights in and around New River Gorge! Had more amenities than I expected, which is always a plus! The porta-potty was surprisingly clean as well. Due to the drought the river wasn’t flowing but we were still able to enjoy the sights! Lots of space to park and to set up camp. We loved listening to the many birds singing in the evening and night. Thanks!

Beautiful, private spot amazing access to New River Gorge NP. The site was set up nicely and even had a tarp over the picnic table which saved us from the rain. The grill was also a nice touch and the porta potty was super clean - thanks so much! We will be back!

If you are looking for a place to stay that is secluded yet minutes away from the fun, this is the spot! Very nice place to camp & relax after a long day of activities on the Gorge! On our down time we hung out near the creek and enjoyed the views, smores were an absolute must with the campfire at nighttime! Very nice & clean place!

Though the creek was beautiful, I would not stay here again. My friends and I are avid campers and this was the worst camping trip we've had overall. (1) The driveways steepness is misrepresented by the host. He made it seem like you could carefully get a camper down this large rock road which would be very risky. (2) The site is supposed to house a large group yet there were only 2 spaces for tents on the property and they are very far from each other. The only other space they have cleared out is all just walkways which makes no sense. (3) The vicinity of the ziplining to the property was also misrepresented. The zip liners are literally RIGHT over the other side of the creek and they have a full view of the campsite and the campers so there was NO PRIVACY. The host made it seem like this site provides quiet serenity. The first night we were there, after driving over 6 hrs to the site, we were verbally harassed by the Adventures on the Gorge guide and her group. After addressing this with the host we were brushed off. We did not request $ compensation. We just asked that he address it with the zip lining company. He said he would but we never heard back from him after that. (4) The parking area is made of large rocks/gravel and is not FAR from the fire pit area but far enough to be annoying when you're carrying a lot of supplies each way. **Overall, we were not happy with the site or the host**

Possum Holler Camp
My kids and my dog and I loved camping in the holler. The creek is enchanting. The kids had fun climbing on the rocks. We were so close to the Gorge and to Fayetteville that we could just hop over there whenever we wanted. I appreciated the clean toilet and the picnic table and chairs. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us.
I absolutely recommend it.

Had a great stay at Possum Run. Enjoyed the solitude of this site. Phenomenal location near New River Gorge Bridge. Great restaurant up the hill, Smokeys on the Gorge. Possibly the campsite for accessing everything New River NP has to offer.
