2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cabin camping near Jacksonburg spans rustic retreats and fully equipped modern cabins across several state parks and private campgrounds. Bigfoot Ridge offers themed cabin accommodations with essential amenities including shower facilities and laundry access. North Bend State Park features both modern and rustic cabin options, with the modern cabins including three bedrooms, microwave, shower, and sink facilities. Coopers Rock State Forest maintains cabin rentals with electrical hookups and nearby bathhouse facilities. "The modern cabin is 3 bedrooms with microwave, shower, sink, relax room....there is also the Klaer Lodge built by park enthusiasts in the late 60's made of stone and can accommodate over 50 people," notes one visitor.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Tygart Lake State Park Campground offers "gorgeously remodeled cabins" according to a recent visitor, while River Run Campground features cabins with ADA wheelchair ramps and wraparound decks. Grand Vue Park provides cabin accommodations alongside other lodging options. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when occupancy rates are highest. Pet policies vary by location—Grand Vue Park and Ryerson Station State Park permit pets in their cabin areas, while others like Tygart Lake State Park prohibit pets.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from fully equipped kitchens in modern cabins to minimal amenities in rustic options. Camp stores at locations like Tygart Lake State Park provide essential supplies including firewood, ice, toiletries, and basic food items. North Bend State Park offers firewood for purchase at $5 per wheelbarrow load. Visitors staying in cabins without kitchen facilities should plan to bring cooking equipment suitable for outdoor preparation or utilize nearby dining options, such as the restaurant at North Bend State Park's lodge, which one camper described as offering "good home-style" food popular with travelers.
"North Bend State Park is located at the halfway point of the 72-mile North Bend Rail Trail, so it’s a great camping spot for hikers, bikers and horseback riders who want to explore this scenic trail which"
"At the top of the hill, you observe a handful of picnic tables and fire rings, a porta-potty and a small woodshed with a water spigot alongside."

TravelerSites are basically parking pads with very little useful space around them but the sites are spaced apart. Bathroom and showers are usable but no frills. Scenery is pretty. ATV play area nearby.
GuideThe spots are spread out and the trees are beautiful. The people are so nice. The drive in is tight narrow lanes. We stayed one night at #49, pull through with water and electric, no sewer. We booked #43 but Becky moved us to 49 cuz it’s more level.
ScoutWe stayed 2 nights. People are very nice. Bathrooms and Laundry are clean.
Spaced spots surrounded by the forrest. Some trails directly from the camp.
RangerWe thoroughly enjoyed this camp spot right on the river. LOTS of different birds. And it was so quiet!
ScoutIt rained a lot (not the park's fault) so it was pretty muddy the whole time I was there. I switched from site 7 (next to the bathhouse) to site 8 midway through, and both were fine and relatively quiet. It was busy and the bathhouse was kind of gross, but I guess that comes with the territory.
TravelerThis was a gem of a park to find. There is hardly anyone here and you have your pick pretty much of the camping spots. The spots are mostly level and there are two bath houses onsite. The bathrooms are pretty basic but they have hot water and so far I’ve had them mostly to myself. And it’s only $30 a night.
GuideCoopers Rock State Park is an absolute gem and easily deserves 5 stars. The RV lots are large and easy to navigate, making setup stress-free and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful, which made the whole stay even better. The new washrooms were clean, modern, and well maintained, and the scenery is breathtaking everywhere you look. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy nature, and take in the beautiful views.
GuideThis place is gorgeous and very quiet. The shower house and bathrooms were well maintained, and even had a laundry room and large sink around the back for dishes. Laundry costs $2 in quarters per load, 4 quarters for the washer and 4 quarters for the dryer. They are quick as well, took maybe an hour and 15 minutes all together. Campsites are spaced apart so you're not directly on top of eachother, but you can still see most of the other campers. Lots of trails in the area. We had electrical hook up and a lantern pole, and the is a dump and water station on the way in/out. Highly recommend this site.
GuideWe've stayed here annually for 7 years. Getting into the RV sites is a steep climb, then you head down from the top of the hill to the RV sites.
The older portion has back in and pull through sites. They are medium to small in size, and due to their height and proximity to Interstates you hear trucks engine breaking. The newer section is lower (and quieter) and the sites are larger, but the gravel is not compacted so it sinks in when you drive, park or try to level your RV on it.
There were dog walking trails in the woods but they are so overgrown you need a machete to use them. The pool is nice and is clean. The camp store is not small but carries a very limited amount of supplies.
The staff are friendly. We've had RV issues and birds nesting under our slide room covers that they have helped us deal with.
Cabin camping near Jacksonburg, West Virginia offers options in a region characterized by the rolling Appalachian foothills and elevations ranging from 800-1,200 feet. The area experiences distinct seasonal changes with summer highs averaging 85°F and winter lows frequently dropping below freezing. Most cabins in the region require advance booking up to six months ahead during peak summer and fall foliage seasons.
Trail exploration: Hike the North Bend Rail Trail at River Run Campground, which features 72 miles of converted railroad corridor. "This humble campground is located on the 'Haunted' North Bend Rail to Trail. It was easy check in with a friendly staff. Great place to stay with plenty of room to enjoy yourself," notes William B. The trail passes through 35 bridges and 11 tunnels from the former B&O Railroad.
Mushroom foraging: Search for seasonal edibles in the woodlands at Ryerson Station State Park. "If you have never been here before, then it is worth the trip especially if you're from the area. I have spent most of my time there fishing prior to the dam being destroyed. Now, I mainly take advantage of the mushrooming and hiking!" says Nick P. Spring is optimal for morels while summer brings chanterelles, with many varieties visible from established paths.
Water activities: Kayak or canoe at Tygart Lake State Park Campground on the 10-mile long lake. "The lake offers great relaxation and the trails around the lake offer pretty views. Only wish that there were more trails available because it's so beautiful in that area!!!" writes Desireé. Boat rentals are available for those without their own equipment, and the park maintains dedicated fishing docks.
Privacy levels: Secluded tent sites at River Run Campground provide separation from other campers. "We had a wonderful time. The Park is great and we have stayed at lodge 4 times before but this was first camping trip... Nice spacing at our site in particular. I would also recommend sites 10, 11, 17, 19, 13, and 14," shares Jeremiah S. Tent areas are positioned along a stream on one side with the campsite access road on the other.
Cabin accessibility: ADA-compliant facilities at North Bend State Park. "The year-round cabins have been updated with ADA wheelchair ramps and wraparound decks. I may return and rent one after the campground closes so I can do some cross-country skiing on the North Bend Rail Trail this winter," Jennifer B. observes. These accessible cabins remain available throughout winter when standard campgrounds close.
Wildlife viewing: Regular deer sightings around camp areas. "We see deer almost every evening," reports Darla from Shadow Lake RV Resort. The 100-acre property features several ponds and meandering trails that increase opportunities for wildlife observation, particularly during dawn and dusk hours.
Cell service limitations: Plan for connectivity gaps across the region. At Ryerson Station State Park, "there is no cell service for Verizon. I don't take these trips to remain connected, but this spot is quite isolated and if there was ever an emergency, help would be difficult to obtain," warns Nancy C. AT&T users typically have better coverage but still report weak signals throughout many campgrounds.
Raccoon management: Take precautions with food storage, especially at Tygart Lake. "There is a HUGE raccoon problem here, even during the day. I wish we were warned ahead of time. Many people bring an extra tent to keep their food in," advises Sheila P. Secure food in vehicles when possible or use raccoon-resistant containers, particularly at night.
Site selection importance: Research specific site numbers before booking. At Tygart Lake, "almost all sites are on a hill. The pictures do not accurately show this. We had site 33 (probably the worst site). The entire site was on a slant and covered in rocks," notes Sheila P. Request site maps during reservation to avoid problematic locations.
Playground proximity: Select sites near play areas for convenience with children. At Coopers Rock State Forest, "there is a playground for the kids and plenty of room for them to play," says Kevin H. Sites closest to playgrounds fill quickly during summer weekends, often requiring booking 3-4 months in advance.
Swimming options: Check pool availability seasonally. "At North Bend State Park they have playgrounds, mini-golf and an outdoor swimming pool (closed when I visited in October, but looked really nice)," Jennifer B. mentions. Most park pools operate from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with daily admission fees around $5-8 per person in addition to camping fees.
Educational opportunities: Visit historical features in the surrounding area. Ryerson Station State Park offers unique hiking experiences where "the trails are pleasant, especially the one leading to the old Chess Cemetery," according to Brian S. These short walks provide learning moments about local history without overwhelming younger hikers.
Site spacing: Choose newer campground sections for additional room. At Coopers Rock State Forest, "the new section is open and ready. Water and Electric Only. Dump station on the way out. We had empty space on either side of us. New section is spaced out with a berm of earth in between a lot of the sites," reports Josh W. These berms provide additional privacy between neighboring vehicles.
Campground elevation: Prepare for mountain driving when accessing sites. Nancy C. cautions about Ryerson Station: "We have a 26 foot motor home. To get to the campground, you have to drive several miles on a two lane winding road. Hard to navigate a vehicle in those road conditions. You're in a mountainous area so don't depend on your GPS to get you there." Printing directions from official park websites proves more reliable than GPS navigation.
Hookup verification: Confirm electric service quality before settling in. At Stonewall Resort, "my surgeguard shut off the power in the evening due to high voltage. It was showing 137 volts at one time," reports Tadd and Justin. Surge protectors are essential equipment when connecting to older electrical systems at established campgrounds.
