I loved everything about this campsite. The A-frame was awesome. Surprisingly spacious, comfy bed, gorgeous views. The communal kitchen was so awesome, and access to showers was amazing. I can’t recommend enough!

Great place to stop on our way to New River Gorge. Bathrooms were clean, access to cabins was easy, and a basic cabin for just for sleeping for us! Would stop at Ray’s again!

I'll just get these 2 negative things out of the way so someone else doesn't stay and give a bad review. Because it doesn't deserve a bad review, The place is Amazing, However if you're a light sleeper then a windy Autumn stay probably isn't for you because the leaves land on and slide down the roof and sides and its rather loud. Also something randomly flaps around on the roof in high winds making alota noise, The bed is super cozy, The place is very private and is just a relaxing environment to be in. Me and my Dog would stay again (Not in the Autumn 🤣)

The A-Frame at Ray's Campground was absolutely perfect - rustic, beautiful surroundings, and removed from noise. The design and furnishings were simple yet more than enough for someone who is out hiking and exploring.

Papa's
We stayed at Papa's place cabin. It was simple but clean and the campground office space was nice to watch a show or make some food. We only stayed one night but it worked well for us! The cabin had one outlet for a light and a fan and a heater which was nice heating it up a little in October. 🙂

Ray’s was a nice campground. The bathroom and showers were clean. The A frame was super secluded. Loved being able to lift the door to the A frame and enjoy the breeze.

The cabin was perfect and just what we needed. Showers and bathroom were close by and everyone was very friendly. Looking forward to making another trip.

What a sweet little spot! The mattress was super comfy! We stayed in Papa’s and loved that there was a small fan as we love sleeping with white noise. Shower got hot and was just fine for fall traveling - I’m not sure how cold winters get, but weather was ideal so the open air bathroom was no issue. The community center was cute and convenient for us to fill water bottles for our trip! Super sweet lady that greeted us too! Would’ve absolutely stayed longer if we weren’t just passing through!

If you’re wondering whether you should book or not, just do it! Ray’s was everything I needed and more for my three-night trip visiting NRG. I stayed in the Kentucky cabin which had 2 bunk beds, larger bed (full or queen?), nightstand w/ light, extension cord, standup heater fan, ceiling light/fan and trash can. There was a porch with a picnic table and two additional wooden chairs. There is also a fire pit.
In the common room (quick walk from the cabin) there’s a living room with TV, sofa, board games and more. There's a kitchen with a fridge/freezer, stove, oven, sink. There’s a large covered area off this common room that has a grill, tables and chairs. Next to this area is a small open shed that has ice $2 and firewood $6 or $7 if I recall.
On the opposite side of the campground (still a quick walk from the cabins) theirs is a large outdoor utility sink and cabinet, and a washer/dryer that is $2/ea under an awning. I didn’t use them so I’m not sure how you pay. There’s a separate men’s & women’s restroom/shower. I believe there were 3 showers and 3 toilets in the women’s room. The showers had hot water and the utility sink was super convenient for washing dishes.
I have AT&T and had 2 bars everywhere I went around the campground. After each day of hiking from AM to PM, the Kentucky cabin was an absolute oasis. Especially after ending a long roadtrip of camping in the rain!

We had a great experience at Ray’s. The campground was clean and well-maintained. Was super nice to have ice and wood right there. It’s very close to New River Gorge, so super close to hiking. I would recommend it to anyone. And hope to go back someday.

We loved our stay at Ray’s campground! It was very clean, spacious, and has everything. The bathrooms/showers were very clean. The campground was very quiet despite there being a decent amount of campers. Will definitely be revisiting and would recommend to anyone!

Great campground. It’s huge. E1 was a nice large gravel drive. Easy to back in. No dump station. Water fill was from a hose on the back of the office. very quiet. Close to New River Gorge NP.

Unfortunately we did not actually get to stay at the A frame. They overbooked the site and moved us to a different cabin. I was very disappointed because the A frame was the more secluded site, which was one big part of choosing that cabin over the others. The cabin they moved us to was probably the closest one to the main office and surrounded by all the other sites, which was the opposite of what I wanted. I did book the A frame about a week out from the stay but they did not tell me it was overbooked until five days later, at which point we were already pretty off grid in the mountains on our road trip and I was unable to even spend time searching for other accommodations. The facilities were clean and they offered free firewood and ice for the mix up but I still feel very frustrated and disappointed in the stay. If they had been able to notify me within 1 or 2 days of the booking I would have been more understanding but it just feels like maybe someone booked through another site they had set at a higher price and opted to go with that reservation and relocate us last minute.

The A Frame
The A Frame was just the right size for my wife and I with our 2 medium size dogs. The scenes were so pretty and cooking over the open fire was lovely and kind of romantic! We both enjoyed the cool nights and the cleanliness of the cabin upon arrival. We brought some lounge chairs and we were all set.

Relaxed campground with easy access to Summersville Lake and New River Gorge. Camp site 10 was the most secluded spot which is what we were looking for. If you are interested in being close to the bathroom/showers or having a very flat spot for tent setup then you would want to look at sites 7 or lower.

Ray's place was very quiet, clean and was a great price too!. Our electric site was larger than expected. Shower house was very clean with plenty of hot water! There was a laundry spot as well as a community room with a large TV, couch and kitchen. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!

Quiet campsite with nice hosts. We spent just one night here while exploring the national park which is just a few minutes drive away. We had a good stay and woul certainly recommend it.

They worked with us when we needed to upgrade to a bigger cabin. The hosts were very nice, bathrooms were clean, showers had good water pressure. The campgrounds are well cared for. We loved our stay here.

Ray's was a great haven in desperate times! We had been hoping to find one of the free first-come-first-serve campsites in the park but on a Friday night they were (of course) all full. We found Ray's last-minute but we are so glad we did!! The price is affordable, the check-in process was easy, and the people were great. We ended up staying the whole weekend! The cabins were honestly not too impressive, but for the price it's hard to complain. Overall, they were very welcoming, friendly, and communicative! Planning on staying again when we come back in the fall.

Ray's Campground felt laid back and a great place to relax while visiting the area. My little kids enjoyed playing on the playground. It was very helpful to have the community kitchen area for the small things that we forgot and needed.

This place was pretty great! We stayed at site 3 and across from us there was a huge group of people staying that we a little loud otherwise no bad things to say. Our site had a little bit of a mud pudding but nothing they could control. The bath house was great. Showers (that were clean), sinks, a get ready counter, bathrooms. A full house with games, books, tv, full kitchen, regular size fridge, microwave, coffee pot, sink, dishes you can use, soap, and more. It was super awesome! There was an outdoor sink also to wash dishes. A spot for laundry. Very nice place.
