"Blackwater State Park, Davis, WV https://wvstateparks.com/park/blackwater-falls-state-park/
Camping anywhere in West Virginia is a highlight, but this area offers hiking views aplenty."
"This was our first stay in a state park campground in West Virginia and it was a great stay. Arrived during a steady downpour and rented a cabin for the first night but camped the second night."
$22 - $33 / night
"Camp ground was just a few minute drive away from the entrance to the trail. Trails were easy enough for kids.
Camp site itself was nice and clean but felt a little too close to each other."
"Thirdly, the campground was so close to the nature that we wanted to see. We went to see the falls and they were within walking distance from our campsite. Overall, it was an awesome place to camp."
$15 / night
"This is a hidden gem right outside of town. We utilized one of the rv sites with 50 amp service and full hookups."
"It sets at the end of a side street (Walnut St) at the edge of town (Parsons). A small, quaint mountain town."
$21 - $65 / night
"Camp site(Tent camping)
Camp site was pretty small and close to each other. The forest where the camp site was situated was beautiful."
"Lots of touristy things around the lake, then you drive by lots of vacation homes on the lakeshore and then you pull into the camp and you feel like you are miles away from all that stuff."
$17 - $85 / night
"Great place to connect with family in the wide open spaces of West Virginia. Very nice bathroom facilities,no bath house but plenty of water."
"If you use solar, ironically, the sites around the loop/with electric, are your best bet as there is a large open field in the middle; a second loop contains more primitive sites and some walk-in sites"
$25 - $35 / night
"This is the largest state forest in West Virginia, it has a total of 25 sites that vary in their privacy. Each site has electrical hookups, picnic tables, fire grates, and utility post."
"There is also a small laundry room with dishwashing sink behind the bathhouse. Both ice and firewood are sold onsite."
"But other than the falls, this park has everything the other does, and even a lake. Most come here for the cabins."
"This lake (the main attraction of the state park) is one of my husband’s favorite fishing spots, especially on the kayaks. "
"Still snow on the ground and very wet in early April, but great dispersed car camp and walk-in camp sites."
"Great trails nearby with wonderful views."
"I stayed two nights at site 2 which is tucked away from most of the other sites, save for one close by."
"It is away from everything and it is surrounded by a ton of hiking trails. Great camping, great hiking."
"There was a bathroom close by with running water and showers. It was beautiful and very close to the lake."
"Trails to lakeside/shore where campers do swim although no swimming from shore is "not" allowed. Just be respectful and clean up after yourselves and usually no drama involved."
ScoutIt was very quiet and peaceful, pool was relaxing and great, owner stopped by to see if we needed anything that’s a rare thing now a days, definitely will be back, plenty of shade on every lot!
ScoutRustic, clean porta johns, private, primitive spots on river. Community fire rings on beach area. Firewood available. Relaxing
GuideJust returned from our first weekend here. The new section is open and ready. Water and Electric Only. Dump station on the way out.
50amp - No issues.
We had empty space on either side of us. New section is spaced out with a berm of earth in between alot of the sites.
Road out a decent storm and 2.5 inches of rain in 24 hours. One tree came down close us. Probably no more risky than anywhere else.
New bath house is excellent. Old ones… meh.. they are old.
Will return.
ScoutMiddle Ridge Campground is a charming family owned campground without the major frills, but has full hookups, very wooded, and has a ton of walking paths to enjoy. Did I mention there are Donkeys?? They are so cute! The campground also has a pool that looks really nice but the weather was a bit chilly for Memorial Day weekend. This campground is secluded, wooded, and not over crowded and the owners are very friendly. We are booking another stay next month!
ScoutThis is a great public park site. Well maintained and sufficiently nice amenities.
ScoutWe enjoyed our stay at Middle Ridge Campground. The owners we're amazing family people who were so polite and helpful! They provided daily checks so see if we needed anything such as firewood, which they brought directly to our campground. We have three children who absolutely loved petting and feeding Mules and Donkeys! The pool is a nice amenity unfortunately the weather wasn't swimming weather when we were there. Short drive down the mountain to get to the ponds but my husband and oldest son had a blast catching fish in their ponds! Large campsites with good spacing between guests, which makes your site feel private. I called before booking and talked to the owner which helped us pick out the perfect spot! If ever in the area we would come back and camp again!
GuideWe stayed one night while passing through the area. Facilitaties are extremely clean!
We stopped though mid week in early May and the park was just about empty, one other RV sites used and no tents up. Several cabins were rented.
The birds are active and wonderful to listen too!
Has 10 pretty level RV sites and 30 ish tent walk in sites
Boat dock on the lake and several trails around.
Also has a few cabins you can rent.
Would love to spend more time here at the lake on a boat!
ScoutTo my surprise, the camp site itself was ran by using a self serve station. Signing ourselves in was extremely easy and we were settled in and unpacked in only an hour. On weekdays it’s not that busy and you see more empty cars than people. As for the campsite, everyone is equipped with a pole for hanging things, campfire pit with a grille, picnic table, and a place to put your tent. From there you are free to walk or drive anywhere you want in the state park. There are tons of trails with amazing sights to see. It felt like every turn was a different biome. With all of the biodiversity, you’ll never be bored of seeing everything it has. Once our stay went into the weekend it got extremely busy. Tons of cars flooded the parking spots and when we packed up and left, someone had already claimed our spot. Locals are nice and everyone is pretty reserved. Had no encounters with bears and loved the untouched nature everywhere. One problem is the weather, even though the weather was in our favor, at night there is extreme winds and it’s enough to completely destroy your tent. Other than that it is definitely worth a visit!
