"Kid and pet friendly, this park has a nice lake for Kayaking/canoeing, multiple hiking trails with views, excellent opportunities for wildlife watching, and great biking trails."
"General: There are four campgrounds in Douthat State Park - White Oak, Whispering Pines, Lakeside, and Beaver Dam (equestrian), each in a separate location. This review is for White Oak."
$16 - $85 / night
"This was our first camping trip to actually visit lake Moomaw in Warm Springs Virginia. We had been close before but never made it to the lake itself."
"I stayed on campground 1 on a lake side site with access to the lake, the views from my tent were breathtaking! The campground is clean, it has shower and flushable toilets."
"Maybe 5-10 min off of highway 220. There are maybe 5 ish spots to camp next to a river in this mountain valley."
"I pulled in while passing through the area, it was a short ride off the highway and the road in was nice."
$18 - $65 / night
"Morris Hill campground is located in Alleghany County, Virginia, in the George Washington National Forest.
This campground does not have Water/Electric hookups... It is semi primitive."
"This is a great camp located near lake Moomaw! Right off the road with easy access to the sites. First come first serve but this particular camp has a lot of sites!"
$16 - $100 / night
"The campground is butted up against Sherwood lake and a small mtn ridge range that divides West Virginia and Virginia. "
"We spent Labor Day weekend 2021 enjoying Lake Sherwood when we stayed at the recreation area while visiting friends in nearby Clifton Forge, Virginia."
"It is perfect for what we wanted... a primitive campground with large sites and access to the water (creek- for floating and baths, haha). Vault toilets, no lights, no sinks/showers."
$15 / night
"It also has several hiking trails to enjoy along with a nice trout stream."
"Beautiful morning, but seems to stay chillier than the surrounding area. It's in a valley and two sites back up to the lake. There is access to the lake for canoes/kayaks."
"There is much history and lore that is behind every fire tower.
The Thorny Mountain Fire Tower was built by the CCC sometime around 1935...and is erected at an elevation of 3458 ft."
"To get to the fire tower you will want to take the Loop Road, it is gravel and there are pot holes on the edges of the road so you will want to be careful of those."
ScoutAside from the trash people had left from previous visits, it was perfect for a more primitive camping experience than a lot of modern campgrounds provided.
We picked up and threw away the people's old trash btw. Leave it better than you found it and this awesome site will continue to be fantastic.
GuideAnother terrific park in West Virginia. So much to do. The sites accommodate everything from tents to large fifth wheels.
The Riverside loop, there is another loop on the east end of the park (it was closed).
The Greenbrier River was right at the back of our site. People were floating and fishing and paddling. The Greenbrier River Trail, an 80 mile long rail trail is just across the river, accessible two mile from the park, we rode our bikes to the trail.
Hiking, and Arboretum trail, so much to do.
Cranberry Wilderness is less than 30 mins away. Great hiking, the best Visitor's center, with the nicest folks.
ScoutStayed 5-5-25 It was clean, creek for water if you have filter. Nice fire ring and wood. Did not see another person.
GuideWe spent two nights camping here and it was awesome. Nice size clearing, plenty of flat space, big stone fire ring (we used our little solo stove) and a great stream that runs right by the site. Plus you’re only a quarter mile from the pond which was really nice. There are pit toilets down the road that weren’t terrible. The only downside was that someone painted bright orange smiley faces on several of the trees. Not cool. But overall it was a clean, peaceful place to camp for a few nights!
GuideFirst time camping in any part of Virginia, very nice and clean campground, not too much outside noise besides the random car driving on the one road near by. The Brewery itself is far enough away you don’t hear anything going on there unless there’s live music, they make some very good beer though. All around great views from our specific site of the mountains. Will be going back.
GuideNice camping spot in George Washington NF. There are multiple spots along the road - some are drive in and some require you to park and walk in. Definitely get there early to get a prime spot. We didn’t arrive until late afternoon but we were able to snag one down toward the end of the road. The spot was nice and flat, backed up to a little creek and had an established stone fire ring.
My only complaint - that whoever used it last decided to walk a few yards down the trail and use the bathroom right in the middle of the path, leaving their mess and a pile of used wipes on the ground. Gross.
Other than that disgusting discovery this is a very nice woodsy campsite close to Natural Bridge!
GuideGetting a premium tent spot allowed us to arrive late and already be checked in. We had an amazing view. Bathrooms very clean. Short walk the brewery. The only negative was you’re not allowed to bring your own wood and it’s cash only, no atm’s on site, it would have been nice to scan a barcode to pay for the wood if there wasn’t someone there to take card payments. Will definitely return.
ScoutSuper amazing person at check in! Easy reservations. Nice, inexpensive spot for a last-minute decision to get out of the house.
GuideReally enjoyed this place. Maybe 5-10 min off of highway 220. There are maybe 5 ish spots to camp next to a river in this mountain valley. I took the one and only site just before the proper camp site (it was the best one IMO). Need to be self sufficient though, only convenience is a toilet house. No cell coverage. Highly recommend for primitive camping.
