Best RV Parks & Resorts near Eglon, WV

684 Reviews

Several RV parks accommodate motorhomes near Eglon, with Five River Campground in Parsons offering full hookups including 50-amp electric service. Sites are equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and cable TV connections, with most providing level gravel pads. "Sites are large and level and there was plenty of room between sites. Water, sewer and electric all worked well," noted one visitor about Five River Campground. Double G Campground in McHenry, Maryland maintains sites with electric, water, and sewer hookups approximately 25 miles from Eglon, while Riverside Cabins and RV Park in Moorefield features big-rig friendly pull-through RV sites with 50-amp electric connections and sewer hookups.

Access to mountain campgrounds often involves navigating narrow roads with elevation changes. Throughout the region, cell service varies considerably by location and carrier, with spotty coverage common in valleys. Many RV parks near Eglon operate seasonally, with several closing between November and April due to harsh winter conditions. Most facilities provide sanitary dump stations, though Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground and CAMP73ROCKST☆R lack this amenity. Pets are welcome at most locations, but Smoke Hole Caverns and Log Cabin RV Resort prohibits animals. Within 30 miles of Eglon, travelers can find propane refill stations in larger towns, though availability directly at campgrounds is limited. Visitors planning fall weekend trips should secure reservations well in advance.

    Double G Campground

    Quiet and Friendly Campground

    Decent size RV park with mostly seasonal and full time residents. They are still happy to have short term campers. Nice full hook up sites and cable TV. Staff was very friendly. Firewood is abundant, good quality, and cheap. Not a whole lot on the way of amenities, but it’s a nice facility. Location is great, very close to the lake and the ski resort. If you want to camp while at the lake this is a great choice.

    New Germany State Park Campground

    Gorgeous park; truly "unplugged" experience

    Site was very large and private, surrounded by beautiful forest. Plenty of room for our pup, TV, pop-up gazebo, and gear. Each site had a fire ring with grill grate, and a nice, large, composite picnic table. We were right in front of the bath house, which was convenient, but the light was pretty bright at night. We were also the closest site to the loop entrance, so we could hear some traffic along the main park road. Didn’t bother us too much, but I imagine it would have been pretty noisy if we’d been there during peak summer season. Camping loop overall was nice and quiet, though; we had two neighbors while we were there, and barely saw nor heard anything from either of them.

    Simply put, this park is absolutely gorgeous. Easily the most beautiful MD State Park we’ve visited. Everything, from the forest, to trails, to lake, to Meadow Mountain, is a camper/outdoor enthusiast’s dream. The fall foliage made everything even more beautiful. Apparently, the park is very popular amongst cross-country skiers in the winter, especially since they have full-service cabins and a warming hut by the lake. I’m not into cold weather at all, but I imagine I would love to spend a day by the lake in the summer time. Said lake area also has a concession stand, boat rentals, swimming beach, rec hall, and nature center, but these were all closed since we were there out of season.

    Bath house in our loop was old and small, but kept very clean. I never used the shower, as it was too cold, but it looked adequate. LOTS of spiders, which don’t really bother me, but definitely a nightmare for arachnophobes.

    We drove through the two other, non-pet-friendly loops, which were also beautiful. Sites were spacious and private, just like in our loop, but with the addition of tall pines. Saw mostly tent campers, and a few small TTs. The roads were very narrow, with a decent incline, so not big-rig friendly.

    Note that there is very little to no cell phone reception in the park, so combined with the lack of hookups, this is definitely an unplugged, “connect with nature” type of camping experience.

    Overall, I absolutely loved this park, and can definitely see why it’s referred to as Maryland’s “hidden gem.” The only negative was the lack of hookups, as it got pretty cold at night, and our battery was unable to sustain the needs of our heater. It would have been fine if it had been just me and my husband, but I think it was just too cold for our small kids, especially with the wind and rain we encountered. I would love to return in the summer though, especially since the area doesn’t experience the same type of extreme humidity as the more central and eastern parts of Maryland. Highly recommended!

    Glade Farms Campground

    Quiet place to rest

    We headed to ride the trails at big bear lake camplands and booked here considering a recent outbreak of covid at the lake. The on call staff met us at the gated community and helped us get situated on a shaded lot. Very nice and quiet with mostly seasonal or permanent snowbirds. Small pond/lake on the property and plenty of shade. The lot was a challenge to be centered and level which led to us exiting our camper downhill. The water access was in ground and I cant imagine a camping couple that's well beyond retirement finding that convenient but it didn't impact us. Pet friendly and large lots. Bathhouse was closed due to covid. No firewood at this campground to purchase but fire ring provided and picnic tables.

    CUMBERLAND MD. CAMPGROUNDS. 1 & 2

    On the Potomac and C & O Canal Trail

    Canal Tunnel River Campground, Nov 2023 : This is a 1 3/4 mile walk along the C &O Canal Trail to the outskirts of Cumberland. We happened upon this empty campground while walking this trail. A fantastic museum is near that 1 3/4 mile point. The National Park Visitor Center is there as well which is very informative.
    (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer). I rate based on desire for at least a moderate wilderness type experience w at least some camp site privacy. Usage during visit: Empty Site Privacy: No vegetation screen between sites. Site Spacing: Close, but more spacing than many private campgrounds. Site surface: Grass Reservations: I noticed Agee box at the entrance. Road Noise: This campground is not near a highway. Through Traffic in campground: No reason for through traffic.
    Electric Hookup: I concluded the only sites with electricity are host sites. Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: No Potable Water Available: Yes Bathroom: I did not see any, but probably removed for the season.
    Showers: No. Pull Throughs: Some Cell Service (AT&T): Good Setting: Open grassy area with minimal shade along the Potomac River Weather: Sunny . Highs 60s and lows 30s during our stay in the area.
    Bugs: Too cold. Solar: Great solar. Rig size: Seems that there would’ve no issue for larger rigs. Sites: Sites along the river are best in my opinion.

    Kentuck Campground — Ohiopyle State Park

    Nice Pennsylvania State Park

    Very large park with a variety of campsites ranging from tent, 20/30 amp, 50 amp, and yurts. Price is the same for all electric sites, regardless of amperage. There is a 40-foot maximum vehicle length allowed in the campground– not a problem for our 17-foot van but the staffer who checked us in remarked that many people come in with larger rigs trying to squeeze in and are unable to. We had no problem securing a site with no reservation on a Monday evening after Labor Day. Very close to two Frank Lloyd Wright properties– Kentuck Knob and the more widely known Falling Waters. Other things to do in or near the park include whitewater rafting, rail trail biking, hiking, zip-lining and touring Laurel Caverns. The nearby town of Ohiopyle has many outfitters and several restaurants. The sites are all located on roads leading off the main road; we stayed in a 20/30amp site on Cherry Road (Site 49). It was right next to the bathroom which was good and bad. Good for proximity but bad because we could hear the hum quite clearly. Also, the door to the women’s room would hit you in the rear quite forcefully unless you held onto it (it took me three times to remember to do this)! There was a dishwashing sink in the women’s room (and I’m assuming in the men’s room?); it was very clean, but the only downside was having to do the dishes by myself! Alcohol is prohibited. Only certain areas allow pets. Only one garbage/recycling station outside of the campground. Wood and ice are available 24/7 on the honor system– very nice not to have to wait until a host is on duty to get what you need. Quiet hours 9 pm-8 am, a bit longer than most campgrounds but except for some sites with campfires still burning with people talking, it was very quiet in this campground. Surprisingly strong cell signal for being deep in the woods.

    Outflow Camping

    Quiet campground

    This is a lovely army corps of engineers campground. The sites are gravel and level. Most only have 30 amp electric hookup but water can be filled at the “gatehouse” (for lack of better description). There are 3-4 full hookup and a few 50 amp. It is well-maintained— lawns mowed, bathrooms cleaned, sites tidy. Bath house isn’t modern but showers are hot and have great pressure. Campground filled up on the weekend. The sites are a bit close to each other and are mostly sunny but it was quiet anyway. Lots of people fishing on the river—access right from the campground. Great Allegheny Passage trail also accessed from the campground. Boating on the lake too.

    Middle Ridge Campground

    Peaceful retreat in the woods on the mountain

    Nice full hook-up sites in spacious level sites in the woods. Great place to get away. Great value with a gracious host and hostess. Delivered wood to our site by the time I disconnected. The donkeys were fun to see. The town of Romney nearby has everything you might need. Highly recommend the small farmer markets with fresh fruit and veggies. Road to access the campground was good with some tight turns up the hill the last couple of miles. The campground itself is gravel roads that were pretty tight gettin in and out of and fairly steep with trees on all sides. Made it in and out no issue taking it slow, but not sure I would try anything longer than about 36' fifth wheel or 34' travel trailer. Water pressure was just a bit weak and used our water tank and pump during our stay. Best we could get for water pressure out of the hose was 25-20 psi. No issues with power or sewer. Pool looked nice and clean, but we did not get a chance to use it. Hike down to the ponds is pretty steep. Would go back again if in the area. Starlink was sketchy at best, Verizon had one bar and slightly usable, ATT was best with a couple of bars and ok speeds.

    Coopers Rock State Forest

    Must See Sunsets

    This is the largest state forest in West Virginia, it has a total of 25 sites that vary in their privacy. Each site has electrical hookups, picnic tables, fire grates, and utility post. The sites in the middle of the loop lack privacy that the outer loop sites have. There is one bath house that has hot showers, flush toilets, water spigots, and now WIFI. Pets are allowed but must be kept on a leash. There are gravel pull-ins for the sites, there are a couple of pull through sites for RVs.

    The campground gets busy during the fall because it is so close to Morgantown and Mountaineer games. There are lots of hiking trails, coopers rock is definitely a must to see during sunset. Ravens rock is also a beautiful look out trail. Rock climbers have a lot of rock outcroppings on short trails for climbers to utilize. Fishing, biking, and hunting are also popular activities that can be done here.

    Red Creek Campground

    Far from the hectic pace!

    Red Creek Campground is positioned a decent drive down gravel National Forest roads, so it does not see the amount of traffic that easier, closer campgrounds get.      https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/mnf/recreation/natureviewing/recarea/?recid=7003&actid=63

    With a season of Mid-April through the beginning of December, be assured that weather is always a factor. Family has been thwarted at Thanksgiving by unpassable snow without a 4x4. Rain is almost certain, as the varied elevation nearly creates its own weather patterns.  So my first recommendation is to always add rain gear and cold weather garments for insurance.

    We ordinarily visit during the month of August and being a "fly by the seat of my pants" type of roaming tent camper...I have arrived to see Red Creek Campground full...as these sites are non-reservable. 

    Keep in mind, Red Creek Campground is "primitive"...no modern facilities, no showers, no electric...and the only running water accessible, is a small spring pipe (that I highly recommend filtering before use even though it does not post that).

    Sites on the outer portion of the loop are fairly concealed from one another by trees and undergrowth...the inner loop sites are a little more exposed.  Gravel parking at sites and each site offers a picnic table a fire ring and lantern post. All sites are a short distance to the two individual unisex pit lantrines in the center of the campground.

    With no ambient light, the night skies are amazing...though cloud cover always seem to plague my visits at night. Though one evening we drove down toward Bear Rocks and laid in an open field to stargaze one evening to enjoy a wonderful light show from shooting stars. We were so quiet, several deer passed between us within arms reach...a little disconcerting but we survived.

    Trails are abundant and some leave directly from the campground deeper into the Wilderness Area. Choose footwear wisely, as the trails are strewn with sharp rocks (on certain trails), various stream and river crossings, shoe-swallowing mud bogs along with the regular ol' dirt trail.  Bring a trail map, water...and/or a water filter...and raingear.

    Nearby Bear Rocks is a fun scamper for "kids" of all ages and the views eastward share WV and Virginia mountain ranges.

    We were thrilled to visit when "Bird Banding" is taking place and enjoyed searching for migrating birds caught in the netting on the east side of the road opposite the campground.

    For a peaceful, relaxing camping experience that offers great hiking, and some of the most amazing flora and fauna...its a family favorite!

Guide to Eglon

Eglon camping options range from riverside sites to full-service RV parks with mountain accessibility. The area sits at elevations between 1,500 and 3,000 feet with typical temperature ranges from 40-80°F between May and October. Local campgrounds stay open longer than many nearby state park facilities, with some offering year-round accommodations despite winter snowfall potential.

What to do

Riverside activities: Five River Campground offers excellent fishing access along Shavers Fork River. "The river is fantastic and holds trout and smallmouth for those that like to fish," notes a visitor. Campers can also tube down the property. "We walked up river to the end of the property and were able to tube down to the lower end of the property."

Hiking trails: Multiple hiking options exist within a 30-minute drive of local campgrounds. Near The Oasis at Bear Run Farm, visitors can access trails leading to scenic overlooks. Campers at Smoke Hole Caverns note "plenty to do in the immediate area, with the caverns, fishing, hiking, and climbing. Dolly Sods and Canaan Valley are also nearby."

Stargazing: The region offers excellent dark sky viewing opportunities. Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground provides a dedicated star gazing platform. Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground's primitive setting creates natural night sky viewing conditions with minimal light pollution from surrounding areas.

What campers like

River access: Campers appreciate waterfront sites throughout the region. At Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground, "on the beach there are rafts, paddleboats, chairs, and across the river there is a ladder to climb up on the rocks." The primitive setting combined with amenities creates what one camper called "primitive plus."

Helpful owners: Personal attention from campground owners stands out in reviews. At Five River Campground, "John and Joyce are wonderful owners, caretakers and hosts" who "go out of their way to make you feel like family." Another camper noted the owners are "relentless on maintenance and have about 60 acres to mow and care for."

Privacy options: Smoke Hole Caverns and Log Cabin/RV Resort provides larger campsites along the river. "Site are large and level, but close to one another and open. Dark sky and an open field for stargazing." The ten-site layout creates a more exclusive camping experience compared to larger facilities in the region.

What you should know

Cell service variations: Connectivity differs significantly between campgrounds. Five River Campground offers "great cell signal for most carriers and even offers wifi and cable," unusual for the region. In contrast, Smoke Hole Caverns has "no cell phone coverage" according to reviewers.

Road conditions: Access to some campgrounds requires navigating challenging roads. For Riverside Cabins and RV Park, travelers should prepare for windy mountain roads with steep grades, especially when towing larger RVs. Brooklyn Heights requires driving on gravel roads that may become muddy after rain.

Site characteristics: Campsite levelness varies significantly across rv parks near Eglon, West Virginia. Five River Campground offers "level and grass" sites suitable for a range of RVs, while some campsites at Benner's Meadow Run can be "sloped pretty bad side to side."

Bathroom facilities: Amenities range from basic to modern. Five River Campground provides "clean bathhouses with endless hot water," while Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground has "rustic, clean porta johns" only. CAMP73ROCKST☆R offers electric hookups but limited bathroom facilities.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground stands out for family activities. "Great place for kids! Family friendly atmosphere, cordial staff, well run campground. Lots of activities," reports one camper. The campground includes a pool, mini-golf, and a game room that keeps children entertained.

Swimming options: River access provides natural swimming holes at several campgrounds. Five River Campground's section of Shavers Fork is "shallow and calm enough for our small children to enjoy it," according to a family who visited. The water depth allows for safe wading along much of the shoreline.

Educational opportunities: Nearby attractions include historical sites and nature centers accessible as day trips. Smoke Hole Caverns offers cave tours suitable for children. One visitor noted these activities complemented their camping experience: "Plenty to do in the immediate area, with the caverns, fishing, hiking, and climbing."

Tips from RVers

Site selection: RV campers recommend specific sites at certain campgrounds. At Five River Campground, "spot 3" is noted for having "a great view of the river" without feeling crowded despite the campground's layout where "the RV sites are very close together."

Hookup quality: Electric service reliability varies between RV parks around Eglon, West Virginia. Five River Campground offers dependable 50-amp service with "sites with full hook-ups" that function well even during peak holiday periods. The campground store carries essentials for RVers who need supplies.

Navigation challenges: First-time visitors with large rigs should call ahead for specific directions. Some RV parks have community assistance for parking: "All of the other campers were so generous to help us navigate backing in our new Teardrop" at Five River Campground, making the experience less stressful for newcomers.
