The Best Camping Near Lewisburg, West Virginia

Tent sites on the river, RV sites, RV and cabin rentals and float trips.  Lots of space for kids to play. 

Tent sites on the river

Friendly people, waterfront site on river, 2 hour tubing float down river ending up at my campsite!  

Simple and secluded 

I grew up on this campground. It was my home away from home during the summer for Years. I knew the original owner/creator of this campground. I visit here and it brings back so many memories. 

It’s a great campground with kayak and canoe trips. Lots of fishing and swimming available. Tubing is the best trip from Ronceverte to the Campground on the Greenbrier River if you have a full day to just unplug and take in all the sites, sounds and smells around you. 

Just ignore the train that runs through across the River. 

Lots to do here with tent camping, RV, cabin rentals and even some nostalgic RV rentals.

Best place

We loved this park. Had so much fun there. Rented tubes and floated down the river. The staff was great and the grounds well kept. We will be putting this place on our list of parks to stop at every year. 

Great Place

The Greenbrier River RV Park campground was fine. It was right on the Greenbrier River and you could do float, kayak and canoe trips from the campground. There were full hook-up sites and tent sites (right on the river). The sites were pretty big and most were shaded. It was close (less than 15 minutes) to Lewisburg and to the Greenbrier River Trailhead in Caldwell. There were no walking paths or bike paths in the campground which was my only issue. Some people didn't like the trains that passed by periodically, but I like trains so no complaints here. We took a day to explore the New River Gorge National Park. Beautiful!

Camping on the Greenbrier River

Debated on what kind of rating here, as we didn't have a bad time this past weekend, but there were some things that simply cannot be overlooked. Being from beautiful NC when I think of West VA I think of rural mountain towns and quiet river bends. While that certainly exist, Greenbrier isn't that kind of place. 63 is a very busy road that is right beside the campground with loud traffic moving almost nonstop throughout the day and night. Coming primarily from the Lewisburg direction from what I could gather. On top of that, there are railroad tracks right across the river that are almost as busy with long trains. I stopped counting at 7 our first evening. Every spot appears to have all the regular RV amenities, electric...water (though slightly brown with sediment, so bring your filter) and sewer, with most spots taken up by what appear to be seasonal folks. Was disappointed to discover that the RV sites aren't right on the river, that's mostly reserved for primitive campers, of which we were for many years. Bathrooms are clean and they have wood and kindling available for purchase (honor system). Never did much run into the owners, they kind of just let us do our thing. Spaces are very easy to get into and out of, which I definitely appreciate. The area (New River Gorge...etc) is certainly beautiful, but we will likely stay at one of the several state parks within the area in the future to experience the true nature of camping.
