About

The American Alpine Club (AAC) campground at the New River Gorge resides in Fayetteville, WV, on a 40-acre parcel adjacent to the National Park and within walking distance of popular crags at the New River Gorge. There are 40 private sites and ten communal sites. No RVs, no trailers, and no vehicles over 20' are permitted. There are two large communal fire pits, a bathhouse with coin-operated showers ($1 for minutes), and a pavilion. We're working on a wifi solution, but it comes and goes.

Young Adult Climber Meeting Place

The campground was decent and the bathrooms were big and clean. Loved the big sinks for dishes. Bathrooms were clearly once men/women but had been made so anyone could use either one. The covered pavilion was used for large gatherings and yoga type classes both nights we were there.

I chose poorly…

Low review based only on my poor site selection. I was right by the communal shelter. Quiet hours were courteously observed by fellow campers and the lights turned off automatically shortly after 10, but outside of those times there was no quiet or privacy. The sites on the lower loop, say low 20’s and up, looked lovely, tucked among boulders and rhodies. Each site had a picnic table and tent pad(s). Fires are limited to a large communal fire pit that was well stocked with wood. Clean restrooms. Coin-operated showers. Definitely can tell it’s a climber’s campground. Had a very Miguel’s-like vibe to it.

Definitely check out the Burrito Bar tucked into the woods on the other side of 19. Great beer, good food, and chill atmosphere.

Great for a few nights

This place is really nice. Super clean bathrooms and flat platforms for tent camping. It’s a little pricey in my opinion but it’s easy to get to and close to lots of climbing.
