Great for a night

Was coming back from fishing and need a place to sleep without paying for a hotel. Great place honestly. I don’t really have anything negative to say about it. At $10 and fishing, I’ll definitely be back.

♥️

We have been coming to Eagle Rock for years. Most of the people change every year but there are some that have permanent campers here. A few rude people this year but we still enjoyed our time. It doesn’t have all the amenities that some would want. If you enjoy roughing it then ER is worth camping at.

It's cheap and scenic

Stayed one night in a tent right next to the river. It is what it is, a West Virginia backwoods campground. $10 will get ya a nights stay. Like previously said drop your money in a slot and enjoy the river. Nothing special or pretty just a cool little spot to lay your head

Primitive campground, great base for fishing or hunting

This campground is situated just off the road through beautiful Smoke Hole Canyon (a sharp turn if you're northbound). The entrance has video surveillance and there is a self-pay station at a tree on on your way in. Pay your $10 and drive in to set up. Sites are grassy, not clearly delineated, and line the river bank. Find a spot and set up. The hill ascending to the road has a number of RVs of varying age and conditions. Vault toilet & portapotty are available, but no other amenities except fire rings.

The South Branch of the Potomac forms the other border of the campground and its not uncommon to see fisherman in the river, The river is stocked with trout and there are some areas with catch and release instructions. This site will give you some additional information about licensing: Fishing Smoke Hole Canyon

Eagle Rocks, named after a Revolutionary War soldier buried in the area tower over the river. I don't climb, but I did see a note indicating that it's a 5.11 rating

There are small shops about 3 miles in either direction if you forgot something basic. To the north, if you're looking for something to explore on a rainy day, consider a visit to Smoke Hole Caverns
