"Picnic tables and fire ring. Didn't appreciate the grill in the next site (thought it was too close to us). We were in Site #8. Not sure what all is around here."
"The staff was extremely nice and helpful, bath house and laundry was clean. The water at our site was inoperable and they offered to move us without me even having to ask which was nice."
$20 / night
"Great campground with super easy access to the trail and lake. The sites are spread apart enough so you aren’t right beside someone - and shaded."
"Love the privacy this provides. Our favorite “close to home campground”!"
$20 - $120 / night
"Park was nice, clean and has friendly staff. We liked that we could walk to the bathrooms and not have to drive there. We stayed at site 100 and really enjoyed the shade trees."
"The campground was a little confusing at first because the sign says next left, when the next left is the out driveway."
"We chose it because the campsites are on a lovely lake. It was a good choice! The campsites are large, each with a fire pit and picnic table. Many are shaded."
"The lake is the center of activity. We saw lots of wildlife (check bird migration schedules!). It’s a huge campground with cabins and lots to do in the park and nearby."
$37 - $72 / night
"The sites are nice and most have direct access to the creek and beach area. Privately owned so not ruled to death like some state park campgrounds."
"There's a dollar general at the entrance."
"It has very close proximity to I-64 in West Virginia, and you can hear the traffic pretty clearly."
"This is a very cozy park tucked in between US60 and I64. We are in site 14 and its not quite level, but they were generous with gravel so the drainage is good! No parking in puddles!"
"Park was clean, employees are very helpful. You can get a spot right next to the lake. Now the bad... Not much at the camp store. Verizon service is non-existent."
"The lake was lower but it was still nice. The bath houses were impressively clean. They have a nice Park Head quarters with a general store that has grocery items, firewood, and cool souvenirs."
"The good... peaceful, nice lake with some spots next to the lake.
The bad... not much of a camp store, the wifi is horrible, no Verizon service."
"There are 2 parks to Beech Fork. One is the actual campground the other is the marina. Same lake but a bit of a drive to get to each other. At the campground side there is a pool."
$38 / night
"Secluded but close to everything you need.
Bring a water pressure regulator.
Bring the kayaks, bikes and easy chairs. Prepare to relax and enjoy yourself."
LegendWe enjoyed our stay at Huntington/Fox Fire KOA! This is a holiday KOA that offers more amenities for vacationers. It has very close proximity to I-64 in West Virginia, and you can hear the traffic pretty clearly.
The staff is wonderful, they obviously care very much about their jobs and we enjoyed talking to them. They keep the property very clean which is saying a lot because it’s a very busy park. Each day we watched the park nearly empty and by sundown it was mostly full again. On the weekends it was full to capacity, and it’s occupants were out enjoying their time!
There is: great cellular for TMobile and AT&T, laundry, dog walk area, storage, cabins, a store, a swimming pond, small beach area, and some sites have fire pits. The picnic tables were pretty dated.
The hookups are a little strange. You share pedestals in many of the sites. And the arrangement is a little strange but it works.
TravelerThis is a very cozy park tucked in between US60 and I64. We are in site 14 and its not quite level, but they were generous with gravel so the drainage is good! No parking in puddles!The staff is great, friendly, upbeat. The gentleman who led us to the site helped us get positioned, and squared up.The site has a patio, bench, picnic table, fire pit, and a huge gas grill. There is more privacy than usual at KOA, pine trees between sites.Well be back! You do have to watch for the entrance, there is a big KOA sign but its not aligned with the actual turn, so be careful.
GuideWe camped for two nights midweek at Beech Fork. We chose it because the campsites are on a lovely lake. It was a good choice! The campsites are large, each with a fire pit and picnic table. Many are shaded. There are lots of things to do in addition to ranger-led activities. Rental kayaks and paddle boats are available, and a swimming pool and exercise course as well. If you choose a site on the water, ducks may well waddle into your camp looking for a handout. We had a delightful time!
GuideWe stayed for an overnight. Site was NOT very level. On gravel. Picnic tables and fire ring. Didn't appreciate the grill in the next site (thought it was too close to us). We were in Site #8. Not sure what all is around here. Easy off and on to I-64 - far enough from highway so you don't hear it.
TravelerThis is a peaceful and quiet campground located along the Ohio River. All sites have 50 amp and water hook ups. Most have fire rings and picnic tables. It is amazing to watch the river barges go by and they also have fishing available. Shower house is clean and warm!!
GuidePark was nice, clean and has friendly staff. We liked that we could walk to the bathrooms and not have to drive there. We stayed at site 100 and really enjoyed the shade trees. Showers are small but they work and there are only 3 stalls of toilets and 3 showers ( I believe) in the women’s side- unsure of men’s. Plenty to do, including a playground, pool, miniature golf, bike riding, horse back riding, hiking, etc. All sites have a picnic table and a grate over the fire pit. Water wells are easily accessible and they have washers and dryers as well. Check-in location was a bit confusing but eventually figured it out.
TravelerI stayed at Shawnee SP campground in August 2020 (Friday night). This campground is geared towards families with kids, especially with RVs. It has all of the amenities: electric at most sites, water, flush toilets, showeres, laundry. There’s a small lake at the campground with a swimming beach and canoe rentals. They also have a gift shop and miniature golf. North of the campground there is a lodge with cabins and larger fishing lake. The campsites are very close together and the campground was full when I was there. It was surprisingly quiet at night. I prefer a little more privacy and separation from other campers. Looking around the campground I’d say that Site 8 is the best site for car camping or RV camping. There are 2 tent camping sites (111 and 112) that provide separation from other campers but you have to park and carry your gear back to the sites
GuideSmall and clean private campground. I was looking for somewhere to sleep on our way back north and saw this highly reviewed on Dyrt, so naturally we took the chance. Glad we did. Although some of the amenities are dated such as the bathrooms and surrounding equipment, they make up for in cleanliness and attention to detail, way better than any state park. Example, heaters and reading material in the bathroom. Picnic tables and fire rings at all spots and in good condition, playground for the kids was better than anything so had ever seen at state parks. Every site is full service and river access for anyone who is eager to fish or just skip some stones.
Only downside I could think of is the active trains going up and down the river, however they don’t blow the horn - just the constant white noise of the engines.
ScoutWe have been camping at Pappys for 2 yrs now! We always have a great time, the folks out there are so nice and friendly it literally feels like a family reunion everytime!! We ride with the WV Outlaws and they take you on awesome trail and creek rides!! Kids love the creeks on hot days they have so much fun!!
I definitely would recommend Pappy’s to everyone looking for an awesome camping / cabin experience and WV Outlaws for Awesome trail riding.
