"There were no walking paths or bike paths in the campground which was my only issue. Some people didn't like the trains that passed by periodically, but I like trains so no complaints here."
"It was my home away from home during the summer for Years. I knew the original owner/creator of this campground. I visit here and it brings back so many memories."
$45 / night
"The bathrooms are centrally located. There are only two showers, so we had to wait a couple times to get a shower, but it wasn't a big deal."
"Greenbrier West Virginia State Forest campground - very nice, but limited amenities. Electric-only hookups, and no dump station on site. Water is available a short distance from the campsites."

"There are many trails around and even a small creek. Great place!"
"There is plenty to do within walking distance or a short drive. There is hiking all around the Pipestem area. There is a lake to fish and boat on."
"Although it backed into the woods as soon as we stepped off our steps it was on the ledge of the pad. We moved the next morning to site 9."
"This campground rests by Bluestone Lake, which is where the Bluestone River runs runs into the New River."
"We stayed in Meador site 14, which was the furthest away from the bath house (still only maybe 150 yards), but it was on the water & was the most secluded (just meaning it's at the end of the row not"

"Just a wonderful small RV park in rural West Virginia. We needed to stay overnight and Ann was terrific in finding us a spot to stay in. Great hospitality and reasonable prices for the spots."
"This campground has views of the West Virginia mountains and overlooks a cow pasture. So much fun to stay at."
ScoutWe were lied to and ignored. Conditions were very poor at the beginning of May. That can certainly be expected with the flooding in the area, though that was not known to us until arrival. It wiped out their entire campground, leveled their bathhouse, and even moved their office building several feet. Many of their sites were out of commission. This left very poor conditions, and their recovery planned involved the use of a few port-a-shower/toilets. The water barely trickled and was only cold. We could not stay there. The caretaker of the campground appeared understanding and said that he would have my money refunded for the week. That STILL has NOT happened! They don't respond to phone calls, voice mails, or emails. Definitely beware of businesses like this!!!! I am sorry to have to give them 1-Star.
ScoutNice clean place. Right next to river. A bit noisy since the RV sites are next to the road & railway is across from river. Pet friendly & nice size bundles of firewood for $10. They even come by in the morning to pock up your trash. Wish we had more time to take a float down river, they rent kayak & tubes.
GuideBluebird Campground was one of three camps in this section of the park. 12 sites in the primitive section were all next to a medium-sized creek with rapidly running water. Great hiking trails, though not really scenic, some are challenging, and the one I hiked with my dog was muddy with tiny creeks running through and large logs in the trail to traverse. The sites were very spacious and relatively private from other campers but the road was a few feet away with light traffic on the weekday. The speed limit was 10 mph,so not to disturbing.
TravelerMountain Lake Campground is a massive system of varied campsites (hammock sites to large full-hookups). This was our first trip here and since arriving we’ve been impressed. Staff is courteous, facilities are very clean and stocked, and the property has so many amenities (shower houses, laundromats, pools, ice cream store, and playgrounds).
While sitting at our fire pit tonight, we booked a return trip in September.
GuideWe stayed one night here, was great for that.
The caverns are worth visiting pretty cool cave system.
We got in late in the afternoon after the last tour woke up early and caught the first tour before heading on our way.
Bathrooms at the campground are not great. They women’s is better then the men’s. Needs to coat of paint but they are decently clean.
ScoutElectric back in site. Water and bathhouse available across the road in the other part of the camp ground. Unusual set up.
Scoutjust off the highway but easily accessible, everything works, friendly staff. Showers in bathhouse are a bit dirty but other than that great!
GuideThis was a great base for visiting New River Gorge NP. The campground is quiet with well space sites. Bathrooms are traditional but clean and functioning well. Laundry had only 1 washer and 1 dryer. The park has a lot of trails and a lake but we didn’t have time to check them out. Many sites looked like it may take some work to get level. We were in site 20 with a 23 ft TT and got level fairly easily but a longer rig may have difficulty in that site.
LegendFHU. Sites not level. Very narrow sites. Some full time residents’ rigs give the Breaking Bad class C a run for their money, if they run. Only campground close to Roanoke Va. Moldy rv’s, broken picnic tables, and rutted roads. The staff is nice. Have stayed here before so I knew how bad it was but needed to visit family in Roanoke.
