Pipestem Resort State Park Southern West Virginia.
We spent 4 nights here. Used this park as a base camp for New River Gorge NP. There's many other State Parks we visited too.
This park has a LOT of razzle dazzle. A zip line, a golf course, no pool but a splash pad. They also have a tram that's closed right now for refurbishing.
A lake with fishing & boating. You can rent a boat.
The Nature Center is nice. The typical stuffed animals. You're not allowed to pet the bear!!
Lots of trails. A horse barn. A large "lodge" & cabins for rent.
There's 82 sites in the campground.
1- 31 have full hookup.
32- 49 electric only.
50- 82 water& electric
Sites 1-4 are handicapped sites.
We were in site 1 by the bathrooms/ showers.
There are pretty good sites, but watch the site descriptions for the incline.
The water/electric sites surround a large field. These sites tend to be sunny.
1- 49 are in the woods. The sites seem small, but the perimeter sites face the woods.
44 is a large site, but the incline is severe, so appropriate for Class B or tents.
I didn't like site 5 at all. It sits right as the road curves down a hill.
The showers/bathrooms were very much on the lower spectrum of state park clean. It looked like they had been remodeled fairly recently, but not cleaned often. The campground doesn't seem to generate the same attention as the rest of the park. There's no DNR presence, no one driving through the campground. We rarely saw any employees checking the bathrooms.
I would probably not stay here again since we won't be coming this way for a long time.
