WELCOME TO BEAVER LAKES CAMPING

Located in the Appalachian Mountains on 250 acres of land. Portions were previously strip mined creating some flat fields and access to all property. Strip mining if done properly can and does enhance the property. Ponds were built to catch runoff and several new animal species moved in waterfowl, muskrats, and beavers. The beavers have constructed large dams on property further adding to the beauty. Have seen bears, deer and several bald eagles on and around the property.

New River Gorge Campground - American Alpine Club

The closest campground to the New River Gorge Bridge. Chestnut Creek Campground offers quiet primitive camping in the woods. We are a mere half a mile (0.5mi) from the New River Gorge Bridge! That's walking distance folks. Our hygienic facility has hot showers, lavatory stalls, hand washing sinks, and a wash basin located outside for dish washing and filling up water jugs. Firewood and Ice are available on site as well. Each campsite has a picnic table and a fire pit. A general store and burrito bar are located literally around the corner; Both are within walking distance. Hiking and Climbing trail-heads (Fern Buttress, Endless Wall, Beauty Mountain; to name a few) are just down the way and access to the river is a stone's throw away (our drive is just across from Fayette Station Rd). If you're wanting to venture further to more local restaurants/shops; we are only a 5 minute drive from downtown Fayetteville. We are a pet friendly establishment for those with dogs who love to travel as much as you do. We keep quiet hours from 11pm-7am (starts @ midnight on weekends). Mainly we accommodate rustic tent camping, however; some sites are able to accommodate pop-up campers and trailers up to 20ft (we do not have hookups/electric). Call today to reserve a site for your upcoming adventure at the New River Gorge.

Private

Mountain Lake Campground is a large campground with four different main sections.  All of the spaces that we saw seem to be quite spacious, and many of them are shaded at least in part.  The staff was friendly.  There was a delicious ice cream shop on the property.  The walk to the lake or the pool and main building was quite a trek. The pool was warm, but not cloudy and a bit dirty. There were three nearby playgrounds (but they had some broken parts) and a basketball court.  

Spacious

This was such a nice campground, so spacious and scenic. I will definitely stay again and explore more. Such great views for star gazing. Very convenient to the gauley. 

Love it

Staying in section 2. It looks to be very new. Fresh gravel at every site and the road. sites are very big and spaced far apart from your neighbor. Also has many pull thru sites.
