Very secluded paradise
We stopped in the see if our 23ft camper fit and it did!! The spaces are very small all around the campground with about 3 exceptions if you feel comfortable driving down the dirt road. So glad we did. There were 2 other sites occupied when we stayed and it was soo quiet except the railroad every so often! Just serene.

2nd fav place to camp in new river gorge
Love this place. Roads are riddled with potholes. Careful in low rise cars. My Grand Prix Pontiac always made it just fine. I’ve seen a snake in the road before lol. I hope it’s open now sorry I don’t have an update. I will when I go next. Since COVID it has been closed >:( nevertheless, the hiking paths are awesome. Leads you to coal mining ruins OR to a beautiful water fall you can swim. I go there even if I’m not camping. There’s an awesome jump off at the top of the falls. Sand campground. You can kayak near the camp spots. Can be huge hydraulics at times. Locals can be sketchy sometimes just be nice. There’s one bathroom
Off the beaten path
A very nice free CG in New River NP W Va. Probably about a dozen spots for RVs and/or tents. Most are on the loop on the way in. I got lucky and nabbed a spot my Taco and FWC fit comfortably. This spot is last on the way out before exit. Quiet and peaceful near creek/river with boat ramp. The only noise was the occasional train rumbling by across the river.
