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.

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.

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.
