The Best Camping Near Durbin, West Virginia

This place has amazing views of the mountains as well as a beautiful river running along in it. 

The owners Mark and Marsha are super nice and accommodating. 

The sites are full hook up

Awesome

Very nice campground with water and electric right on the river for $32, clean bathrooms and showers, and very nice owners. We stayed for one night but most of the others staying there had horses and were staying a while. The only slight negative is the town is closed down, so make sure you bring everything you need to eat and drink. 

Nice spot to camp on the river

Called and got a reservation Aug 1-12th had a slight problem. We called to say we couldn’t make it until the 2nd no problem and no charge, that was nice if him to do so. Nice well kept campground adjacent to the Durbin Rocket steam locomotive. They are doing a train robbery this week, robbers are riding horseback to steal a guarded shipment! 

Nice campground Scenic railway at campgrounds edge.

We thoroughly enjoyed this campground. Very peaceful, surrounded by mountains. The campground had stables and catered to people with horses, but we felt very welcomed by the owners. The campground was very quiet and is actually very near to what is referred to as"The Quiet Zone." Pocahontas County is home to the Green Bank National Radio Astronomy Observatory, a federal complex whose giant single-dish telescope detects"invisible energy waves" from space. Within 10 miles of the Observatory, the use of cell phones, Wi-Fi, microwaves, and other devices is banned. 

  

Most of the sites were full hook-ups and the facilities were very clean and well maintained. 

  

This campground in Durbin was great for exploring the north end of the Greenbrier River Trail, The West Fork Rail Trail, and other sites in the Monongahela National Forest. There isn't much in the town of Durbin except the Durbin Rocket, a century-old train, on which riders can experience a 10 mile, two-hour ride.

Peaceful campground on a river

We really enjoyed the campground.  Nice bathhouse, nice playground, and beautiful setting.  We used it as a base for Cass Scenic Railroad, which is not far from Durbin.

Nice place on the river!

We were just traveling through on our way south and called to see if we could stay for a night. The campground was being shut down for the season but the owners accommodated us anyway! They let us fill water near their home which is on site and had a full hook up available for us. 

Great location right on the water. Near a railroad but during our stay it was not running.
