RV Camping near Clay, West Virginia

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.

32 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites

Bear Mountain Cabins and Campgrounds in Fayetteville, West Virginia, offers 32 RV sites and 10 tent sites one mile from the New River Gorge, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year.

The category names spell out exactly which utilities you get. Seventy-five feet is generous for gorge-country terrain and accommodates a long coach with a tow. Ten tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A playground, volleyball, and the surrounding forest fill the grounds. The amenity set is focused rather than sprawling, which is right for a property whose guests are here for the gorge. Pets are welcome. The address is 130 Laurel Creek Road, one mile from the New River Gorge and three or four minutes from downtown Fayetteville. The gorge became America's newest national park in 2020, and the whitewater rafting, world-class climbing, and the single-span New River Gorge Bridge are all right there. Bridge Day in October draws BASE jumpers and enormous crowds. Summer rafting season and October foliage drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead, particularly for Bridge Day.

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.

Cabins By The Creek

4 RV Sites

Cabins By The Creek in Pipestem, West Virginia, offers four RV spots along Pipestem Creek, with sites named individually — RV Spot by the Creek numbers one through four, three of them designated full hookup. Cabin rentals round out a compact property in the rugged Appalachian terrain of Summers County. Four sites are named individually rather than pooled into categories, with three flagged as full hookup. Contact the property directly to confirm amp service, length limits, and hookups for your rig before booking — the site records are incomplete, and at a property this small a phone call gets you a straight answer faster than any listing. Cabin rentals round out the lodging. Pets are welcome. The amenity set is deliberately minimal, and that is the entire proposition. Pipestem Creek runs alongside the sites, and the water's constant murmur is the sound of the place — something no campground sound machine reproduces and something you cannot get at a property with a water park. Summers County sits in southern West Virginia's genuinely rugged country. Pipestem Resort State Park is minutes away and is one of the finest in the state system — an aerial tramway down into the Bluestone Gorge, two golf courses, an amphitheater, and miles of trail. The Bluestone National Scenic River and the New River Gorge National Park are both within reach, with the New River's whitewater and world-class climbing about 45 minutes north. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in southern West Virginia, with October color drawing crowds to the gorge country. Reserve well ahead, and call to confirm site details.

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.

Cabins offer enclosed lodging for guests who would rather not camp. A general store covers basics and firewood is available. From May through November, the Outpost opens Friday evenings through Sunday morning for food and drinks, including beer and wine. Adventure programming is what sets this property apart. A high ropes and adventure course provides aerial challenge elements almost never found at a campground, and a disc golf course, bike rentals, and kayak rentals fill the rest of the day. Trails, a pond, and a creek run the property for swimming, fishing, canoeing, and mountain biking. Volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, and a pavilion round out the on-site recreation, with planned activities through the season and strong birding in the surrounding forest. Pets are welcome. New Castle sits in Craig County, Virginia's least-populated county, in the ridge-and-valley country of the Jefferson National Forest. Craig Creek's cold, clear water runs nearby, and the surrounding Allegheny highlands carry extensive trail access. The property serves both family recreation guests and corporate and group retreats. The May-to-November window is when food service runs and the adventure programming is at full strength — plan dry camping supplies accordingly, and book group dates well ahead.

Sparkman Lake

3 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Sparkman Lake in Woodsfield, Ohio, offers three full-hookup back-in RV sites and five cabins across more than 40 wooded acres, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet.

Three back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits. One consistent category covering all three amperages means any rig plugs in without an adapter, and 60 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Five cabins round out the lodging.

Forty wooded acres and a private lake for three RV sites is an extraordinary ratio — guests essentially have the property to themselves, and the quiet is the product. Directions: the campground sits between Malaga and Miltonsburg directly off SR-145, 1.7 miles south of the SR-800 intersection in Malaga, and about ten minutes from Woodsfield. Monroe County is one of the quieter corners of southeastern Ohio's Appalachian foothills — forested ridges, old farm hollows, and unhurried rural character. Guests from Columbus, Pittsburgh, and Wheeling come for exactly that, with the Ohio River, Wayne National Forest, and Seneca Lake all within reach. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead — three sites go quickly.

Pine Creek Cabins & Camping Resort

33 RV Sites, 10 Cabins

Pine Creek Cabins & Camping Resort in South Bloomingville, OH, offers 36 RV sites and 10 cabins, with 30 and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 45 feet.

Momma Tried RV & Campground

38 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

Momma Tried RV and Campground in Cabins, West Virginia, offers 38 full-hookup RV sites and two tent sites in the forested mountains of the eastern highlands, with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet, open all year. A single full-hookup category means every guest gets the same spec, with sports courts, walking trails, a playground, and dog park on a mountain stream. Thirty-eight sites are full hookup throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to note: service is 50-amp, so bring an adapter if your rig runs 30, and 70 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow — generous for mountain terrain. Two tent sites round out the lodging. Restrooms handle the practical side. A river runs the property for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming, with sports courts, basketball, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. Mountains rise nearby. Pets are welcome. The community of Cabins is a name that captures the character exactly. This corner of eastern West Virginia is among the wildest and least developed country in the eastern United States — hardwood hollows, cold mountain streams, and the Monongahela National Forest's high country. Seneca Rocks, Dolly Sods Wilderness, Smoke Hole Canyon, and Spruce Knob, the highest point in the state, are all within reach. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in the Potomac Highlands, with year-round operation serving hunters and winter travelers. Reserve well ahead for October.

Palmerosa Horse & Hike Campground

13 RV Sites, 22 Tent Sites

Palmerosa Horse & Hike Campground in Laurelville, OH, offers RV sites with water and electric hookups, private tent sites, and cabins, with room for rigs up to 60 feet. Contact the campground for site count and amp service, since those specifics aren't published. Several policies are worth knowing before you book: one vehicle per site, with additional vehicles and trailers directed to overflow parking; RV sites hold up to six guests and tent sites up to four. Guests bringing horses must reserve the right number of stalls and bring their own horse-care tools and bedding — and straw bedding is not permitted. A bathhouse with private bathrooms and hot showers, a general store, firewood, a dump station, fire rings, and picnic tables cover the rest. Pets are welcome. Covered horse stalls and walking trails put this campground squarely in the equestrian category, with more than 40 miles of bridle trails reachable from the property. Download the bridle trail map before you arrive — cell service drops out on the trails. Laurelville sits in the heart of Ohio's Hocking Hills, close to Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, and Conkle's Hollow, but deliberately away from the busiest park areas. Rates for sites, tent spots, and cabins are on the booking page. Reserve stalls alongside your site if you're bringing horses.
