RV Camping near Hico, 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.

Bear Mountain Cabins & Campgrounds

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. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in and pull-through categories join a general store, playground, and laundry. Thirty-two sites span back-in water-and-electric 30/50-amp, back-in water-electric-sewer 30/50-amp, and pull-thru water-electric-sewer 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. 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.

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.

Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing

11 RV Sites

Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing in New Castle, Virginia, offers 11 dry-camping RV sites and cabin accommodations on an adventure property in Craig County, with a high ropes course, disc golf, kayak and bike rentals, and a hot tub. Sites take rigs to 45 feet with fire pits and picnic tables. One thing to know upfront: the campground spots are dry camping with no hookups. Eleven pull-through RV sites operate without hookups, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Portable toilets serve the sites, and a bathhouse provides flushing toilets and hot showers. 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.

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 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.

Reserve well ahead for October and holiday weekends.

Twenty cabins serve guests traveling without a rig, and seven tent sites cover simpler camping.

Each comes with a fire pit and picnic table, in back-in and pull-thru configurations. Laundry, a general store, firewood, a dump station, and a pavilion handle the practical side. Pets are welcome.

Montebello sits high in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Nelson County, less than three miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway, with adjacent trails climbing well above the campground.
