2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Furnished cabins dot the landscape near Barboursville, with notable options at Huntington / Fox Fire KOA and Beech Fork State Park. These accommodations typically include electricity, heating, and varying levels of kitchen facilities from basic countertops to full cooking setups. Cabins at Fox Fire KOA offer private patios with fire pits and gas grills, while those at Beech Fork State Park are situated closer to recreational water activities. According to one visitor, "The cabin we stayed in at Fox Fire KOA had a deck that overlooked the pond and the campground, which was nice." Most cabins include basic furniture such as beds, tables, and seating areas, though amenities vary significantly between locations.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Fox Fire KOA maintains year-round cabin rental options, while other properties like Pappy's Creekside Camp operate on seasonal schedules. Pet policies differ substantially between properties - Huntington / Fox Fire KOA and Robert Newlon Airpark welcome pets in select cabins, while other locations maintain strict no-pet policies. A recent review noted, "We rented a cabin on a cute little pond. It was a nice setting and it was a little out of the way from the main part of the campground." Reservations are particularly important during summer months when family-sized cabins fill quickly, especially at locations like Iron Ridge - Lake Vesuvius and Ole Henry's Camping retreat.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary widely - some locations like Fox Fire KOA provide outdoor grills, while others offer indoor kitchenettes with basic cookware. Many properties maintain on-site camp stores selling essential items and firewood. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, "The office/store was very clean and had practical items like batteries, firestarter, snacks and ice cream for the kiddos." Visitors staying at cabins near Interstate 64 should be prepared for highway noise, particularly at properties like Huntington KOA where traffic sounds are audible through the night. Cell service varies by location, with stronger signals typically available at campgrounds closer to Barboursville and weaker connections at more remote cabin sites.
"It has very close proximity to I-64 in West Virginia, and you can hear the traffic pretty clearly."
"This is a very cozy park tucked in between US60 and I64. We are in site 14 and its not quite level, but they were generous with gravel so the drainage is good! No parking in puddles!"
"There are always plenty of great spaces, we have never stayed at a spot that we didn't like. Spots are a good size and clean."
"The camp store is always well stocked and the snack bar is a treat for ice cream. Buy firewood from the locals on the road outside of the park on your way in."
"We chose it because the campsites are on a lovely lake. It was a good choice! The campsites are large, each with a fire pit and picnic table. Many are shaded."
"I’ve been camping here with my family for close to ten years now and we always have a blast."
"The spots are pretty close, but expected from what the map showed when we booked. While they are close there is enough room to make yourself at home. Nice new picnic tables and clean fire pits!"
"Park was clean, employees are very helpful. You can get a spot right next to the lake. Now the bad... Not much at the camp store. Verizon service is non-existent."
"The good... peaceful, nice lake with some spots next to the lake. The bad... not much of a camp store, the wifi is horrible, no Verizon service."
"There are 2 parks to Beech Fork. One is the actual campground the other is the marina. Same lake but a bit of a drive to get to each other. At the campground side there is a pool."
"The park is located on a local airstrip with parachutists, apparently jumping on Sundays. All sites are within a few feet of a great bar and restaurant which was perfect after a long day on the road."
from $45 / night
"Great campground with super easy access to the trail and lake. The sites are spread apart enough so you aren’t right beside someone - and shaded."
"Love the privacy this provides. Our favorite “close to home campground”!"

"Picnic tables and fire ring. Didn't appreciate the grill in the next site (thought it was too close to us). We were in Site #8. Not sure what all is around here."

Full hookup. $55 per night. Possibly to enter after office working hours. Bathrooms. Very friendly staff
The owners were amazing and were very helpful with everything! It was a beautiful campground and very quiet while also being close to everything we needed. We will definitely be staying again.
Good overnight spot. It could be nice for a local family also. I wouldn’t make it a destination for a long vacation because of highway noise. It’s not horrible closer to the front or in the middle but along the back is where you’re right on it.
Very clean campground and staff was nice. Camp store is cute and there are multiple ponds.
Nice quiet campground. The staff was very nice and helpful. Beautiful area with two ponds. The pool looks like it was just redone...nice. The restrooms were very clean and looked freshly painted. Would give a 5 but needs a little more TLC.
Level sites. Water electric sewer at every site. Only seven sites available for transient; the rest are very permanent. On site restaurant.
Was very nice,quiet n peaceful.We had to leave unexpectedly but plan to go back when it’s not as hot we had 2 dogs with us one got sick but hoping to make it back there soon
We have stayed at Beech Fork 3 times now and the view is always spectacular. However, we had to use the shower houses this time & they need attention. The water was barely luke warm and some of the stalls were dirty.
Nice pool, most sites I could see have sewer. Water pressure was low. Very few shady sites on top level.
