Not for Those That Want Real Camping Experience

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.
