Cokeley Campground — North Bend State Park

My dad and I stayed at the lodge in NBSP in May 2023 after riding bicycles for 26 miles from West Union on the rail trail. We were exhausted from a hard but great ride and the lodge and its restaurant provided the perfect refuge to recharge overnight and bike back to West Union the next day. Quality accommodations with all amenities and excellent customer service. The lodge restaurant has a reputation for excellence, as I learned later, and it earned that reputation for me. Highly recommend the lodge and the rail trail.

Love this place. 1st time ever in West Virginia and this park was up to the task of making a great 1st impression of the state.

Great hiking with well marked trails. Fantastic biking on the 72 mile North bend trail which is an abandoned rail way with multiple tunnels including one that is a quarter long and haunted.

Not a bad camping site in the river run part, but if you can snag one along the river, grab it.

Staff was wonderful, especially Brittany! Facilities are dated but are good enough for me. Biggest negative was an inconsistent internet. Wifi was right behind me but my Android was more disconnected than connected. Weirdly my firestick internet TV was strong throughout.

Highly reccomend

We first drove down to River Run, but was not campground with hookups so we drove back through the park to get to Cokely, (know which one you are trying to get to!) The camps hosts were very nice and accomodating. They gave us restaurant recommendations and also allowed us to stay a few hours over, to keep the camper parked and clean up later, since we were there for a mountain bike race. Also the trails are alot of fun for mountain biking and the Ranger in the park is also an avid mountain biker and sat down with us and mapped out the race route so we could pre-ride the course a few days before it was marked. We can't wait to get back and ride! The campground itself had nice large lots, very open though. The hosts did recommend the spot we took because it had evening shade. And a decent bathhouse. Nothing fancy, but it was clean.
