    Several RV parks surround Dunbar, West Virginia, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Saint Albans Roadside Park, just 10 miles west of Dunbar, provides big-rig friendly sites with electric hookups, water connections, and a sanitary dump station. Rippling Waters Church of God Campgrounds in Kenna features 50 year-round sites with full hookups including 30/50 amp service on well-maintained gravel pads. Huntington/Fox Fire KOA, located about 30 miles west, accommodates large RVs with full hookup sites including 50 amp electrical service. Kanawha State Forest, situated south of Charleston, offers RV sites with 30 amp electric and water hookups from April through early December, though these sites are not suitable for larger rigs. "The sites are very close together but have power, water and sewer. It was quiet the night we stayed," noted one RV traveler about a nearby park.

    Cell service varies significantly throughout the region's RV campgrounds. Verizon users report strong coverage at Rifrafters Campground with "3 bars" of service, while other parks experience limited connectivity in mountain valleys. Most RV parks near Dunbar accept pets, with designated dog walking areas at several locations. Dump stations are available at Saint Albans Roadside Park, Rippling Waters, and Fox Fire KOA, with the latter two also offering full sewer hookups at individual sites. Navigation to some campgrounds requires careful planning, as mountain roads can present challenges for larger motorhomes. Fall is a particularly busy season for RV camping in this region, with many parks filling quickly during peak foliage periods. Several campgrounds remain open year-round specifically for RV travelers, including Rippling Waters and Fox Fire KOA, making this area accessible for winter camping with proper preparation.

      Eagle's Nest Campground

      New River Gorge NP camping

      The hostess was very accommodating and friendly. We had a packaged delivered to the campground before we arrived and had no problems with it. Ice and laundry facilities are available. The sites were level and easily accessible, no shade but that worked well for us using the Starlink.  There were pull throughs and back in sites, I think there are tent sites in the field beside the RV area.  The sites were full hookup and clean. Campground is pet friendly,  with a large area to walk dogs beside it. The New River Gorge NP visitor center was approx 20 min away, hiking trails were close by.  We did not do shopping or laundry at this location but I did see a Walmart in the vicinity and I am sure a laundromat would be in the city too. The campground had a small common area with chairs and a fire pit. for group gatherings.

      Rifrafters Campground

      Great folks just not our preferred type of campground

      Amy and I spent the Labor Day Weekend in Fayetteville, WV. The New River Gorge area is amazing. We camped at Rifrafters Campground. It is family owned and operated. The owners were great and made a point to stop by our site and see how we were doing. The campground is clean, well maintained and conveniently located. It is only about 7 minutes from the New River Bridge welcome center.

      There were several long term campers, sites were very small and close together. Fire ring and picnic table ended up under our awning. Water, electric and cable service and a few sites had sewer. Campground WiFi was weak at our site (#27).

      While this was a positive stay, we prefer State Parks versus RV campgrounds.

      Lake View Campground — Beech Fork State Park

      Beautiful and secluded

      We visited in the end of October 2021. The colors and the views were spectacular. The drive into the park was very curvy mountain back roads. The site included a fire pit with grill and a picnic table. There was a fair amount of space between sites. Approximately 50-75 feet apart. The bath house was nice but could use a little refreshening. There are many activities including a shooting range, frisbee golf course, swimming pool, playground just to name a few. With Verizon as our service provider no cell signal was available at the park. Overall, we give 3 stars. Minus one star for no cell service and minus another star due to maintenance. Overall, very nice park.

      Lake Stephens Campground

      Popular summer camper location.

      Lake Stephens Campground is a popular location for residents of Beckley (and surrounding areas) to park their RV’s/campers, for extended periods of time, as an easy getaway. The RV/camper area consists of a large circle of campsites that are very close to each other. The common area in the middle has a playground, restroom/showers, vending machines and some field area to play. The RV area seems to have grown into a very friendly community. They have regularly scheduled events like movie night, and they even host a “trick-or-treat” event each year that attracts hundreds. Amongst other things, the park has picnic areas, a beach with a sectioned off swimming area, a small water park area, and several hiking trails.

      Rifrafters Campground

      Nearest CG to New River Gorge bridge and visitor center

      Very comfortable and quiet campground. Camp hosts (owners?) and staff are very friendly and helpful. Close to local towns for services. The full hook up RV sites seem crowded, but the electric only sites were spacious and shady. I had a little deck with a picnic table. Even though the land is hilly, almost every site was level. The area where I camped had a single porta potty, but the main service area had clean showers and reasonably priced laundry. Short hiking trails are nearby. A children’s area is available but looked little used.

      Rays Campground

      quaint and nice

      Very close to the New River Gorge National Park.  Back in the woods with a 1/4 mile  gravel drive to enter the campground.  Most of the sites are primitive with only a few having electric, not sure on full hook ups.  Was a very quiet and calming campground.  Shower house and restrooms were clean.  They did have laundry area and kids playground which I didn't need.  

      Defiantly worth the stay!

      Four Coves Campground — Beech Fork State Park

      Lots of good sites

      Not far from home, and good choices of type of sites. Biggest negative is no wifi or cell service. But quiet, family friendly, and some sites away from activities to chill out at too.

      Rippling Waters Church of God Campgrounds

      Very quiet

      The campground was very quiet and peaceful. My 25 year old son was the youngest person there, except for 2 hours when 1 year old came to visit his grandparents. Most of the campers are there long term and were gone for the time we were there. We only saw people in about 10 of the campsites. The grass was beautifully cut and maintained. We had a pull thru site by the lake, it had to be about 100 yards long and nicely graveled. There are three small bathrooms around the grounds, that are single use rooms (sink, toilet and shower) one for women and one for men. If someone was using shower, no one else could use bathroom. They were clean but it seems they don’t get used very often by the long term campers. They were VERY musty. My wife would not go in them. The big multiple use bathroom by the entrance was much better and air was fresher. The office people were very nice and drove a golf cart to show us where our campsite was. We would stay there again, but still confused why there were so many trailers and so few people.

      Krodel Park Campground

      Krondel campground

      There seem to be many long term RVs here. Sites are very close together but have power, water and sewer. It was quiet the night we stayed. Nice lake and splash pool for the kids. Paved 1 mile path around the lake. Older showers/toilets could use some updating. Decent Mexican restaurant in nearby town.

    Guide to Dunbar

    Saint Albans Roadside Park provides three dedicated RV sites with electric hookups, though no tent camping is permitted at this location. Located directly on the Kanawha River, each site includes electric service, a picnic table, and a trash can, with a nearby sewer dump station offering potable water. Robert Newlon Airpark RV Park in Huntington features 50 full-hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer connections, accommodating big rigs with both 30 and 50-amp service. Huntington/Fox Fire KOA maintains year-round operations with full hookup sites suitable for larger motorhomes, while Rippling Waters Church of God Campgrounds in Kenna offers 50 RV sites with full hookups and big-rig accessibility. "The sites are a good size but you can't have more than one tent unless you get permission," noted one camper about restrictions that apply even at RV-focused parks.

    Most RV parks in the region require advance reservations during peak seasons, with many open year-round. Proximity to urban areas provides convenient access to supplies, with Saint Albans Roadside Park situated directly across from a grocery store and other retail establishments. Highway noise affects some parks, particularly those near major roadways or train tracks. "We stayed in 114 and 115 which are RIGHT under the expressway, so can be VERY noisy," reported one visitor about the Fox Fire KOA. Several parks offer amenities like showers, laundry facilities, and on-site stores, though cell service varies significantly throughout the mountainous terrain. Free overnight parking for self-contained RVs can be found at select locations like Saint Albans, which permits stays up to two consecutive nights within a 14-day period.
