Smoke Hole Caverns and Log Cabin/RV Resort offers 10 RV sites along the river with full hookups including electric, water, sewer, and cable. The sites are large, level, and accommodate big rigs, though positioned close together in an open layout. Nearby, Riverside Cabins and RV Park provides year-round access with full hookup sites that include 50-amp electrical service. Five River Campground in Parsons features paved access roads leading to 120 RV sites with electric, water, and sewer connections that can handle large rigs. Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground accommodates smaller RVs under 30 feet in its 5 RV sites. "Only 10 sites right on the river. Great fishing. Very quiet. Full hookups for RVs including cable. A little pricey for the area."
Most RV parks in the region close during winter months, with the notable exceptions of Five River and Riverside Cabins operating year-round. Navigation to several mountain campgrounds requires careful driving, particularly in larger motorhomes. A sharp turn on the approach to Lower Glady might challenge RVs with trailers, as one camper noted: "My Subaru Forester didn't have any issues, but if you're driving an RV or have a trailer, you may have a struggle." Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with most remote locations having limited connectivity. AT&T coverage was reported at Stuart Recreation Area with "full 5G signal" while T-Mobile service is nonexistent in many locations. Dump stations are available at Seneca Shadows ($7 cash only) and several other parks, though amenities like propane refill services are less common.

TravelerAudra State Park Campground
Beautiful camping sites along the river! This is a small State Park, but packs a punch with some beautiful trails, and direct river access from almost half of the sites. Nice camp store and heated, full bath houses with showers. Note that sites are gravel….so if tenting bring a cot and/or some extra cushioning. Wi fi is available within close range of the camp store. I was at Site #8.

Stokesville Campground
Friendly staff, great riding right from the camper and a neat playground for the kids.
Joe M.TravelerHone Quarry
Surprisingly Awesome
Dispersed camping beyond the actual quarry. A lot of rain occurred in the days prior but on my visit over two days. Bright and sunny. However, it was a lot of road wash out and a lot of standing water as you made your way toward dispersed spots. Apparently, I was the only one there, because they were many, many spots open for camping. Nice pre-visited sites and was able to camp near running stream.
kacee W.TravelerDispersed camping at Mower Basin
Absolutely gorgeous
There are 25 or so established sights at Mower Basin and you're bound to find one with an incredible view of the mountains. Sight 12 took my breath away, but unfortunately as a tent camper the wind pushed us down to the lake sight just passed it. It was close to the road but still felt private. Everyone who passed our sight was very friendly. It's a gorgeous place, and from someone who's never been to Virginia, it was the perfect place to have my first experience. We will probably go back when we are heading back down south.

Holly River State Park Campground
It's a beautiful, clean place with incredible staff
This review is for the primitive boondockers like myself. It's a very established campground, full amenities, restaurant, gift shop, the works. I thought we would find a primitive campground with much more privacy based on the details and reviews of the grounds. The primitive camping spots are all in view of each other down a long stretch of dirt road. They're very clean and come with trash cans at each sight, which was nice. We were the only tent campers so it was enjoyable, but I don't know if I would have had the same experience if there were a lot of campers. I think that's a very important and left out detail about this location for the people who enjoy a more private environment. I'm still very happy with my stay, and the staff is absolutely WONDERFUL. They're all so kind and went out of their way to provide us with information when we had questions they didn't know the answer to, everyone who works there is a delight. 25$ a night felt a little much to sleep in our tent, but the showers, clean bathrooms, and care put into the property made it worth it. Waterfalls nearby as well. I'd stay again.

Gandy Creek Dispersed Camping
White noise of the creek
Overnight tent camping with my dog. Saw a raccoon in a tree. So private and peaceful. The water and wind at night made for a nice relaxing sleep. Plenty of trails to explore.

Audra State Park Campground
Wonderful Family Campground
This was a gem of a state park. It's small and older (which for me is a feature, not a bug), all entirely walkable with a central bathroom, camp store and playground at the heart of the campground. We had a site on the back of the campground that was larger than most (lots of small sites) and could fit our big tent set up. It rained like the dickens for a one of the days we were there and there was a drainage river running THROUGH our site that could have turned into a problem. Luckily the rain stopped in time and our site drained quickly. Despite all that, I loved our stay. It was VERY busy when we stayed, but I liked how it felt like a family retreat, where kids were safe to hop over to the playground to play with other kids, we could take walks right to the river for swimming or (after the rain) "viewing". If you can catch a dry weekend, this campground must be utter perfection. Would probably be dicey in sustained rain, especially if you're on the river itself.

Great location
If youre looking for away from people. Away from most people youll be. Well taken care of.
Guide to Circleville
Camping near Circleville, West Virginia offers several options in the Monongahela National Forest region where elevations range from 1,000 to 5,000 feet above sea level. The area experiences significant seasonal temperature variations with summer highs in the 80s and winter lows frequently dropping below freezing. Many campgrounds in this mountainous terrain provide access to trout fishing waters, hiking trails, and cavern tours within short driving distances.
What to do
Hiking to overlooks: The trail to Chimney Rock starts just 2 minutes from Smoke Hole Caverns and Log Cabin/RV Resort with Seneca Rock approximately 20 minutes away. "Location is prime!! Loved the RV sites right on the water. Perfect if you are a trout fisherman or hiker. Trail head to Chimney Rock is 2 minutes from camp site and Seneca Rock is about 20 minutes away," notes Casey L.
Cavern exploration: Endless Caverns offers discounted tours for campground guests with experienced guides who accommodate all ages. "Our tour guide, Haley, was a sweetheart, taking time for the two little kids, and still giving the information older people like," reports Clark P. from Endless Caverns RV Resort & Cottages.
River activities: Fishing, tubing, and paddling are popular on the rivers near Parsons. "We walked up river to the end of the property and were able to tube down to the lower end of the property. The view and sunsets over the river made for gorgeous pictures. We also spent a little time fishing," shares Jamie R. who stayed at Five River Campground.
What campers like
Dark skies for stargazing: The lack of light pollution creates excellent conditions for astronomy enthusiasts. "Dark sky and an open field for stargazing," mentions Jean C. about Smoke Hole Caverns and Log Cabin/RV Resort.
Natural swimming areas: Many campgrounds offer access to river swimming spots. "The river is beautiful, but you do have to go down a bit of an incline to get there. On the beach there are rafts, paddleboats, chairs, and across the river there is a ladder to climb up on the rocks," describes Tiel M. about Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground.
Quiet camping environments: Most campgrounds in the region maintain peaceful atmospheres, especially outside peak seasons. "This is a quiet campground, with no street lights, and quiet hours from 11PM to 8AM. Definitely not a party campground, which totally endeared this place to us," explains Clark P. about Endless Caverns.
What you should know
Season variations: Operating seasons differ significantly between campgrounds. "Season is March to December," notes Jean C. about Smoke Hole Caverns, while other campgrounds like Five River Campground operate year-round.
Pet policies: Rules regarding pets vary by location. "When we got here, we read signs about 'no pets', but they didn't ask when making reservation, so we had no idea until a few days after being here. We have an old dog, and nobody has said anything," reports Jason E. about his experience at Smoke Hole Caverns.
