Berrys Campground

It seems everyone in West Virginia seeks a riverfront spot to place their RV so they can enjoy fishing, tubing, boating, and rafting. Berry’s is a campground that will let you have your own piece of the action. I stopped here in search of a place to relocate to, but the office was closed and I couldn’t get to the website due to poor Verizon coverage. Check-in is later in the day and there is a number on the door to call for information, but per their website, all reservations are made online. 

There were a couple of families camping there and enjoying the fishing when I visited on my way back from Sandstone Falls(part of New River Gorge National Park). The sites occupy prime riverfront location. They are, however, across the street from the camp office/store and bathroom facilities. They offer water/electric/sewer and are partially grasss, some gravel and limited shade. A fire ring and picnic table are supplied. Sites 16-19 are grouped at one end and 2 are closer to the road than the river, so you have a few more neighbors, but less campground traffic. Midweek, late April, only a few campsites were occupied.

The aforementioned falls are a nice place to visit. Waterdawg a few miles down the road is owned by them and will meet your outdoor equipment needs and offer tubing, kayaking or fishing tours. Fast food restaurants, a Kroger, and the ubiquitous dollar stores are in Hinton.  I wouldn’t make this my base if I wanted to explore the entire New River Gorge National Park, but if I were looking for river adventures and fishing, this would be an option.
