2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Multiple RV parks near Chapmanville accommodate various motorhome sizes and camping preferences. Robert Newlon Airpark RV Park in Huntington offers 50 RV sites with full hookups, including 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. Little Coal River Campground provides electric and water hookups with a dump station but no sewer connections at individual sites. Backwoods Camping & RV Park features RV sites with electric, water, and sewer hookups in a more rural setting. Saint Albans Roadside Park has limited RV parking with just three spaces that include electric and water hookups. "The sites are a good size but you can't have more than one RV unless you get permission. If you have more than 2 adults you have to buy two sites."
Larger motorhomes should verify access before arrival, as some campgrounds have restrictions on RV length. Kanawha State Forest limits RVs to 27 feet maximum due to narrow, curvy access roads. Several RV parks in the region close seasonally, with some operating only from April through November. Most facilities allow pets at RV sites, though rules vary regarding leash requirements and designated pet areas. Cell phone coverage can be spotty in more remote locations, particularly in the state forest campgrounds. According to one visitor, "The campground is small. Has a nice dog park. Pickle ball courts... The only real problem comes with the train tracks right here. The trains are close and do blow their whistle for crossing by the office."
"We tent camped and there were only a couple rvs in the park so it was quiet besides the motorcycles and rvs up and down the main road. They have showers and bathrooms. Fire pits and picnic tables."
"The staff are very easy to work with - they will sell and chop the wood you need, let you put your tent in any of the open grass areas around the lot and they are flexible on arrival."
from $10 - $160 / night
"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
"There are about 20 or so sites that are back in for the 'Backyard' that has fire pits, picnic tables, playground equipment, and large tent."
"We just got back from a weekend at Oasis Point RV Resort. Just a quick review for you guys. This is not a campground in the woods. It is on a strip mine so expect a lot of rock and no shade."

TravelerOn top of a mountain. Gorgeous afternoon and evening views but The fog is dense in the mornings, which comes with a lot of dew, but completely worth it for the afternoon view. No shade trees at our site, but they are large and offer fire rings and picnic tables. Direct access to the happy McCoy trails. We rented just down the street the side-by-side for a couple of days and had a fantastic time.
ScoutWe were told we couldn't stay there because we weren't members
GuideWe camped in pull-thru A43. The site is decently level and spacious. The other campers were very friendly. The bath house was modern and clean.
There was so much to do here! We ventured out to most of the overlooks; the views were breathtaking! There were plenty of hiking opportunities on trails from easy to difficult. Kayaks also were available for rent.
There is a hotel in the park, but it's far enough from the campgrounds (A, B, C, and D) that the guests don't bother the campers.
I can't imagine how glorious this place must be in the fall!
ScoutThe website is dead and so is the phone number. No reservations possible.
TravelerYou would like the perfect location - reserve site 231 - at the end of- right by lake - cool breeze comes right into your camp
ScoutWe had a wonderful stay at Rifrafters! The campground is remarkably clean, well-organized, and has a truly welcoming, homey feel. The dog park is large, open, and was a great spot for our dogs to run around and burn off some energy.What really sets this place apart is the incredible owners. They are as friendly, accessible, and easygoing as they come. They guided us into our spot perfectly on the first attempt, constantly checked in to ensure we were comfortable, and even recommended a great local mechanic when our truck needed service. You can really tell they care about their guests. We will definitely be staying here again next time we're in the area!
GuideThe owners of this campground are among the rudest people we have ever come across in the camping world.
On our first attempt at reserving a site, we reserved the site three months in advance. When we arrived, they moved us to a different spot to accommodate 'other campers' with zero explanation. When we tried to explain we reserved that site in advance and specifically, the older bald guy, became unprofessionally furious and threatened to kick us off the grounds without a refund. The second year we tried to stay there,we again, reserved a specific site AND paid the lock-in fee, thinking, surely, this will not happen again. Unfortunately, the campground is rather beautiful, so we simply tried to fully abide by THEIR OWN rules the second time to avoid unnecessary conflict.
Nope. When we arrived, they moved us AGAIN to a terrible site. Bottomline, these people are power-trippers. They're argumentative, they're rude, they're short, and if you even try to ask about the reservation process, they will just kick you off the property with no refund and no campsite.
And again, they do not calmy explain what they're doing or why. They just do it...and if you question them, they will escalate the situation to an incredulous level of arguing.
This place could be incredible, but the owners have completely ruined it. We will never be trying to stay here again, and will pass it along to anyone trying to stay in that area.
GuideFull hookup. $55 per night. Possibly to enter after office working hours. Bathrooms. Very friendly staff
ScoutGood 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.

Fishing access: 3 Small campsites at Saint Albans Roadside Park offer direct access to the Kanawha River. The park provides a boat ramp just 100 yards from campsites. "If you're a boater there is a boat slip a hundred yards away to get onto the kanawha river," notes one visitor.
Mountain biking trails: Kanawha State Forest contains over 9 miles of dedicated bike paths with varying difficulty levels. A camper explains, "Tons of hiking and biking (mountain and road) opportunities available. You can also purchase ice and firewood."

Affordability: Budget-conscious travelers appreciate Backwoods Camping & RV Park for its reasonable rates. A guest shared, "Several cabins, RV spots and grassy tent areas. The staff are very easy to work with - they will sell and chop the wood you need, let you put your tent in any of the open grass areas around the lot."
Water activities: The artificial lake at Oasis Point RV Resort & Adventure Lake features multiple water attractions. "They have a large pond that has a nice beach, a huge slide and a zip line. They have kayaks, paddle boards and floats first come first serve," explains a visitor.
Quiet surroundings: Despite highway proximity, many area campgrounds maintain peaceful environments. "We have been here for a month. It's very quite, they have a beautiful lake for fishing only. Highly recommend if you need a quite spot to just relax," notes a camper.
Cell service limitations: Coverage varies significantly throughout the region. At Kanawha State Forest, "Don't expect to have signal. I'm on tmobile and I had an occasional bar. Starlink worked allright if ai aimed it properly through the trees."
Access challenges: Narrow, winding roads limit accessibility to some campgrounds. "The GPS led us up a gravel road with no signs for miles. Internet and cell service cut out within a mile up that road and we were not sure we were going the right way."
Seasonality factors: Many campground amenities operate on seasonal schedules. The busy season typically runs May through September, with swimming areas and organized activities available primarily during this period. Some campgrounds close entirely between November and March.
Water park proximity: Little Coal River Campground sits across from local water attractions. "This is across the main highway from the water ways water park. Others camp here to be close to the Hatfield McCoy ATV trail system."

Supply access: Camping near Chapmanville provides convenient resupply options. Rifrafters Campground offers ideal positioning: "We needed a place close to the town and gorge for a basecamp. The fact that they had reliable WiFi throughout the park was a huge bonus for a remote worker."
Site selection: When booking campsites, request specific location information. "We stayed in site 19 which was roomy and level. The owners were friendly. The playground was great for our daughters to burn off some energy."
Leveling considerations: Many regional campgrounds feature uneven terrain requiring leveling blocks. At one campground, "Our site was very hilly and the picnic table and fire pit were a bit treacherous to get to. Don't stay in 35 with a tent or mobility issues."
