Camp Holly

8 RV Sites

Camp Holly in Diana, West Virginia, offers eight full-hookup RV sites across a 22-acre mountain property in Webster County, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 36 feet. Cabins, glamping structures, and tent camping join a pond, playground, and general store in the state's most rugged interior. Eight back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 36 feet, with site WiFi. Note the 36-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Cabins, glamping structures, and tent camping round out the accommodations. A general store, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Two useful tips from the operators: buy fishing passes when you book your campsite for a discounted rate, and add a jumbo firewood square at booking and they will deliver it to your site. Pets are welcome. A pond anchors the on-site recreation with fishing, swimming, paddle boats, boating, canoeing, and kayaking from the water. A community fire pit, playground, hiking, and biking fill the rest, with planned activities through the season. Diana sits on WV-20 in the heartland of the Mountain State's most remote interior. The Cranberry Wilderness, the Gauley River National Recreation Area, and the Williams River's wild brook trout stream give this the most complete wilderness and outdoor adventure access of any campground in central West Virginia's Chestnut Ridge and Back Allegheny country. Summer water recreation and October foliage drive demand. With eight RV sites, reserve well ahead.

Just Plane Adventures Lodging & Campground

34 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 4 Tent Sites

Just Plane Adventures Lodging & Campground in Lahmansville, West Virginia, offers something genuinely rare in the campground industry: a full-service outdoor retreat built around a grass airstrip, where guests can combine cabin and RV camping in the West Virginia mountains with flight training, aerial photography, and an aviation-centered community atmosphere hosted by a former airline pilot. The Pennington family has created a property that attracts both traditional campers drawn to the Potomac Highlands' natural character and aviation enthusiasts seeking a fly-in destination with genuine mountain credentials. Fully equipped cabins, RV sites with full hookups, and tent sites give guests a range of accommodation choices appropriate to both the fly-in aviation community and traditional ground-level campers arriving by road. The property's grass airstrip — operational for light aircraft — makes Just Plane Adventures one of a small number of campgrounds in the eastern United States where arriving by air is a genuine arrival option. Flight training and aerial photography services, offered through the property, give guests an active aviation experience beyond simply operating the strip, and the scenic mountain terrain of Grant County provides exceptional aerial photography subject matter that few eastern US locations can rival. The Potomac Highlands of West Virginia surrounding Lahmansville is some of the most dramatically beautiful and least-visited mountain terrain in the eastern United States. The Seneca Rocks quartzite formation — a vertical fin of rock rising nearly 900 feet from the valley floor — is one of the most striking geological features in the Appalachians and a nationally recognized technical climbing destination. Spruce Knob, the highest point in West Virginia at 4,863 feet, sits in the same highland region and is accessible by a paved road to a summit tower with panoramic views across the ridge-and-valley terrain in four directions. Dolly Sods Wilderness, one of the most unusual landscapes in the eastern United States — high-elevation heath barrens, wind-flagged spruce trees, and bog systems typically associated with Hudson Bay rather than West Virginia — provides exceptional hiking and backpacking within the Monongahela National Forest. Seneca Rocks itself offers some of the finest technical rock climbing in the eastern United States, and Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area encompasses a range of outdoor recreation that sustains multi-day visits for guests interested in climbing, hiking, fishing, and mountain scenery. Canaan Valley Resort State Park adds skiing, mountain biking, and birding to the broader regional activity calendar. Just Plane Adventures operates through the West Virginia mountain camping season, with the combination of aviation activities and mountain outdoor recreation creating a year-round draw for the property's dual audience. Summer and fall are the ideal seasons for the full combination of camping, flying, and Potomac Highlands hiking. Contact the Pennington family directly for current availability and flight training scheduling, as the aviation programming operates on a schedule that benefits from advance coordination for guests planning to combine multiple activities during their stay.

Revelle's River Resort

51 RV Sites, 13 Cabins, 1 Yurt

Revelle's River Resort in Bowden, West Virginia, offers 51 full-hookup RV sites, four cabins, and a yurt along two miles of Shavers Fork river frontage in the Monongahela National Forest, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Riverfront back-in categories at 30-amp and full service join standard and dry back-in tiers, with a splash pad, hot tub, and on-site saloon. Fifty-one back-in sites span standard, dry, riverfront 30-amp, and riverfront categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and picnic tables, sized to 45 feet. The riverfront categories are the reason to book here, and the dry tier gives self-contained rigs a lower rate. Four cabins, including heated units, and a yurt round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A splash pad and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a recreation center, clubhouse, pavilion, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, a playground, dog park, and on-site dining filling the grounds. The saloon hosts live weekend music, and the river carries fishing, swimming, hiking, and biking. Skiing and snowboarding are nearby, and the resort operates as a wedding venue. Revelle's sits nine miles east of Elkins, just off Route 33 on Faulkner Road at Bowden — the physical address is 5 Faulkner Road. Summer, fall color, and ski season all draw. Reserve well ahead for October and holiday weekends.

Wood Mountain Campground

6 RV Sites, 16 Tent Sites, 4 Glamping Sites

Wood Mountain Campground in Glen Jean, West Virginia, offers six full-hookup RV sites, 16 tent sites, and four glamping sites on a hilltop directly off Highway 19, at the heart of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Sites carry 30 and 50-amp with water and sewer, sized to 35 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Six sites run in standard and premium full-hookup configurations carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 35 feet — note the 35-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Sixteen tent sites and four glamping sites round out the accommodations, alongside two-bedroom cabins with fully equipped kitchens and large covered porches. Restrooms, showers, and site WiFi handle the practical side. The hilltop position gives views across the surrounding forested ridgelines, and a disc golf course, barn, pavilion, corn hole, and picnicking areas fill the grounds. The operators put it plainly: this is West Virginia, where there are more trees than people, and guests who want to keep to themselves are as welcome as those who want to chat. Pets are welcome. Glen Jean sits directly across from both the Summit Bechtel Reserve — one of the largest scouting and outdoor education facilities in the world — and the national park's administrative hub, which puts this about as close to the action as any private property in the gorge. River outfitters and the town of Fayetteville are a short drive, and a creek and mountain terrain surround the property. Summer whitewater season and October foliage drive demand in the gorge. With six RV sites, reserve as early as you can.

Momma Tried RV & Campground

38 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

In the forested mountains of Pocahontas County in eastern West Virginia, Momma Tried RV & Campground sits among the hardwood hollows and mountain streams of one of the wildest and most unspoiled regions in the eastern United States. Located near the small community of Cabins—itself a name that captures the essential character of the area—the campground operates year-round and provides full hookup sites, walking trails, a dog park, sports courts, and direct access to the rivers and mountains that define the Monongahela National Forest country. For outdoors-focused campers who want genuine Appalachian terrain, this is the right address. Full hookup sites with WiFi deliver modern connectivity in a mountain setting that might otherwise suggest a more spartan experience. Walking trails loop from the campground into the surrounding forested terrain, and the campground's river and stream access opens up swimming holes, fishing spots, and quiet stretches of water that can occupy entire afternoons with nothing more than wading boots and a light rod. A dog park gives canine travelers their own space, basketball and sports courts provide on-site active recreation, and a playground serves families with younger campers. The campground is open year-round, accessible for fall foliage season, winter snowshoeing, and the full spring wildflower bloom that turns the surrounding Allegheny hollows into something extraordinary. The mountains surrounding Cabins are part of the Allegheny Highlands—ancient, rounded ridges covered in mixed hardwood and spruce forest that represent some of the most significant wild country remaining in the eastern United States. Monongahela National Forest, which envelops much of Pocahontas County, provides hundreds of thousands of acres of hiking, mountain biking, trout fishing, and wildlife habitat. The Greenbrier River, one of the cleanest rivers in the Appalachians, flows through the region and offers kayaking, canoeing, and fly fishing in water that is famously clear and cold in every season. The Greenbrier River Trail—a converted rail trail running more than 70 miles through the Greenbrier Valley—is one of the premier rail-to-trail experiences in the eastern United States, with sections accessible from the campground area. Seneca Rocks, the dramatic quartzite formation rising 900 feet above the Seneca Creek valley, is one of the iconic technical climbing destinations in the Appalachian region. Spruce Knob, the highest point in West Virginia, offers day-trip access to long views across the Allegheny ridges. Waterfalls, swimming holes, and the dense quiet of old mountain forest surround the campground in every direction. Momma Tried RV & Campground is open year-round and serves outdoors-focused guests who want a functional base camp in mountain country rather than a resort. The campground suits serious hikers, kayakers, mountain bikers, and anglers especially well, and the absence of heavy resort programming is part of the appeal for guests who come to be in the mountain environment rather than watching it from poolside. Whether you're chasing trout on the Greenbrier, riding the rail trail, climbing at Seneca Rocks, or simply immersing yourself in the remarkable quiet of the West Virginia highlands, Momma Tried delivers the right setting. Book a site and get outside.
