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.

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.

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.

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.

A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with bike rentals and boat rentals putting the trail and the river within immediate reach for canoeing, kayaking, boating, fishing, and biking. A game room, arcade, gaga ball, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, a playground, pavilion, community fire pit, dog park, golf cart rentals, and on-site dining fill the rest, with planned activities through the season.

Summer and fall drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Endless Caverns RV Resort & Campground

95 RV Sites, 15 Cabins

Endless Caverns RV Resort & Campground in New Market, Virginia, offers 95 RV sites and 15 cabins at the base of Massanutten Mountain, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. The resort has its own six-mile limestone cave system — discovered in 1879 and still geologically active — accessible directly from your campsite. Ninety-five sites run in 30-amp and 50-amp back-ins and pull-throughs, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Fifteen cabins serve guests without a rig. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and boutique shop handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. The caverns are the distinguishing feature. Tours run about 75 minutes, led by guides who cover the history and composition of the system, and the underground temperature stays cool regardless of the season — comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Above ground, an outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a disc golf course, jumping pillow, gem mining, sports courts, pickleball, volleyball, horseshoes, a game room, and a recreation center filling the grounds. Walking trails, hiking, biking, fishing in the pond, a playground, and live music round it out, and the property also serves as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. New Market sits on US-11 in the central Shenandoah Valley between Luray and Harrisonburg, which makes this one of the most comprehensive single-stop bases in the Valley. Summer families and October foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead for fall color weekends.

Ray's Campground

4 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 20 Tent Sites

Ray's Campground in Hico, West Virginia, offers four RV sites with 30-amp electric service, nine cabins, and 20 tent sites at the center of the New River Gorge region, with rigs accepted to 40 feet. The accommodation mix across RV, cabin, and tent is the point — flexible lodging in one of the East's most concentrated adventure destinations. Four back-in sites carry 30-amp electric only, sized to 40 feet — note there are no water or sewer hookups at the sites, so arrive self-contained and plan tank capacity. Nine cabins carry most of the inventory and provide enclosed lodging, and 20 tent sites cover simpler camping. Restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Two vehicles are allowed per site, with an extra vehicle fee of $5 per night on arrival. Pets are welcome. The campground keeps its infrastructure deliberately simple, which suits guests who spend their days on the river and the rock. The surrounding gorge does the work. Hico sits in Fayette County in southern West Virginia, where the New River has carved one of the oldest and most dramatic gorges in the Appalachians over hundreds of millions of years. World-class whitewater rafting runs beside world-class rock climbing terrain, and the scale of the gorge itself earned the region national park designation in 2020. River outfitters, climbing access, and Fayetteville are all close. The campground serves the New River Gorge season. Summer whitewater and October foliage drive the heaviest demand, and Bridge Day in October fills lodging across the entire region. Reserve well ahead for any fall weekend.

Sparkman Lake

3 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Sparkman Lake Campground occupies more than 40 wooded acres in the rolling hills of Monroe County, Ohio — a quieter corner of the southeastern Ohio Appalachian foothills where the landscape is all forested ridges, old farm hollows, and the kind of unhurried rural character that guests from Columbus or Pittsburgh specifically seek out when they need a few days away from the urban pace. Tucked just off State Route 145, the campground combines its natural setting with a variety of accommodations and an expanding collection of farm animals that have made the property particularly popular with families. Five fully furnished rustic cabins and a spacious lodge accommodating up to eight guests provide solid-wall accommodations for groups who want comfort in the woods, while RV hookup lots with individual parking serve travelers arriving by rig. The recently added tiny farm is a standout feature — goats, pigs, bunnies, chickens, and ducks create hands-on animal encounters that children remember long after the fishing and hiking fade in their memories. A playground, dog park, and campfire areas round out the on-site community spaces. The lake itself — the campground's namesake and centerpiece — provides the scenic and recreational anchor for boating, fishing, and evening walks along its wooded shoreline. Pets are welcome throughout the property. The Monroe County landscape surrounding Sparkman Lake is quietly beautiful in the way that southeastern Ohio's Appalachian edge so consistently is — mixed hardwood forest on the ridges, old agricultural fields in the hollows, and the creek drainages that cut through the underlying sandstone and shale geology. Deer, wild turkey, and a variety of woodland songbirds are regular presences on the property, and the overall natural setting produces the deep quiet after dark that guests from Ohio's larger cities often comment on as one of the most immediately striking aspects of a Monroe County stay. The town of Woodsfield, seat of Monroe County, is just ten minutes from camp and offers the community character of a small southeast Ohio county seat — local restaurants, shops, and the informal community feel that survives best in rural Ohio's away-from-the-interstate towns. Barnesville and Clarington, each within about a half-hour's drive, extend the local exploration options, and the broader southeastern Ohio region encompasses the Wayne National Forest and the Ohio River's historic corridor within day-trip range for guests staying multiple nights. Sparkman Lake Campground is open through the Ohio camping season, with summer and early fall delivering the warmest lake conditions for boating and fishing and the best weather for the tiny farm visits that anchor family trips. Fall brings the hardwood color change across the surrounding Monroe County hills — one of the more underappreciated foliage displays in a state where most visitors head north toward Lake Erie rather than south into the Appalachian foothills. Reserve cabins and the lodge well ahead for summer weekends, when the combination of lake, farm animals, and wooded setting creates demand that exceeds the property's solid-wall accommodation capacity.

Spacious Skies Shenandoah Views

73 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites, 4 Yurts

Spacious Skies Shenandoah Views in Luray, Virginia, offers 73 RV sites, two cabins, eight tent sites, and four yurts in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 90 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, behind a gated entrance.

The pergola sites are the standout, and 90 feet is exceptional for a mountain property. Two cabins, eight tent sites, and four yurts round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a jumping pillow, game room, volleyball, gem mining, golf cart rentals, a lake, playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the grounds. Hiking, swimming, canoeing, and kayaking are all available. Pets are welcome. Page County sits flanked by the Blue Ridge and Massanutten, with Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive, Luray Caverns, the New Market Battlefield, Bear Mountain Ziplines, and Hawksbill Brewing all close. Fall foliage on Skyline Drive drives the sharpest demand. Reserve well ahead for October, with summer close behind.

Bear Mountain Cabins & Campgrounds

32 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites

Bear Mountain Cabins and Campgrounds sits at 130 Laurel Creek Road in Fayetteville, West Virginia, one mile from the New River Gorge and three to four minutes from the historic downtown of one of the Appalachians' most outdoor-focused communities. The bear mountain cabins and campground property is the closest private camping facility to the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve—a designation the National Park Service granted to what was already the region's premier adventure destination—placing guests within genuine proximity to the gorge's bridge, rafting, rock climbing, and hiking infrastructure. Accommodation at Bear Mountain covers a wide spectrum: full hookup RV sites with electric and water ($43/night) or full sewer ($52/night) serve traveling campers, while a range of cabin options serve visitors who prefer enclosed accommodation. Amish-built cabins sleeping five and Upper Meadow log cabins with fireplaces sleeping five are available for couples and smaller families, while the two-story Cheat Log Cabin sleeps up to nine guests with a fully equipped kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, and wraparound porch—a genuine mountain house rental rather than a camping cabin. The general store stocks snacks, firewood, and hand-dipped ice cream, multiple playgrounds serve families, a dump station handles RV logistics, and showers and laundry are available seasonally. Fayetteville, West Virginia, is a small Appalachian town that has transformed over the past three decades into one of the East Coast's premier outdoor recreation communities—a Main Street lined with outfitters, restaurants, and breweries serving a visitor base drawn primarily by the gorge and its whitewater rivers. The New River Gorge Bridge, completed in 1977, is the longest single-span steel arch bridge in the Western Hemisphere, stretching 3,030 feet across a gorge 876 feet above the New River. Each October, Bridge Day draws hundreds of thousands of visitors for BASE jumping and rappelling off the bridge structure in one of the largest extreme sports events in the world. The New River itself is a geological curiosity—one of the oldest rivers in North America, flowing north rather than south, through a gorge that predates the Appalachian Mountains themselves. Whitewater rafting on the New River's lower gorge section offers Class III to V rapids in scenery of towering sandstone cliffs and old-growth river corridor, and the Gauley River, about 40 minutes away, delivers some of the most demanding commercial rafting in the eastern United States when the Corps of Engineers releases water in autumn. Over 100 miles of hiking trails, 80-plus rock climbing routes, and mountain biking on the Grandview Rim Trail system round out the active recreation options. Bear Mountain operates year-round, making it accessible for the popular spring rafting season, peak summer hiking, fall Bridge Day festivities, and winter climbing when the gorge crowds thin considerably. The campground's 1-mile proximity to the park entrance positions it as the most convenient private base for full gorge immersion, and the combination of RV sites, cabins, and larger cabin-houses makes it the rare campground that can accommodate solo travelers, couples, and large family groups in the same visit.
