Camp Creek State Park features one of the few dedicated equestrian campgrounds in the region with the Double C Horse and Rider Camp. This specialized area accommodates riders with 2, 4, or 6 horse occupancy sites within the 6,000-acre Camp Creek State Park and Forest. The campground provides essential facilities for equestrians including picnic tables, grills, and fire rings at each site. Horse owners must bring their own portable corrals or highline equipment as permanent corrals are not available. Proximity to the extensive trail system allows riders direct access from their campsites to over 33 miles of trails that wind through the park and surrounding forest. The campground maintains clean facilities with pit latrines strategically placed near the equestrian sites.
The trail system throughout Camp Creek State Park offers diverse terrain suitable for riders of various experience levels. Trails range from relatively flat, beginner-friendly routes to more challenging paths with elevation changes and stream crossings. Water access points along the trails provide natural watering opportunities for horses during longer rides. Many trails connect to scenic destinations including two accessible waterfalls within the park boundaries. Seasonal considerations affect trail conditions, with spring months occasionally creating muddy sections after rainfall. Fall brings spectacular foliage viewing opportunities when the hardwood forests display vibrant colors. Riders report encountering abundant wildlife along the trails including deer, turkey, and various bird species. Camp Creek's location also provides convenient access to the nearby Greenbrier River Trail for those seeking extended riding opportunities beyond the park boundaries.

"Campground Review: Greenbrier River Trail Mile Post 28.5 Primitive Campsite…(Between Rorer and Renick, WV) **Bikepacking West Virginia's Greenbrier River Trail is a delightfully peaceful adventure"
"Traveling West Virginia's Greenbrier River Trail from it's Northern Terminus at Cass Railroad, Stumptown to it's Southern Terminus in North Caldwell has created a thirst that can only be slaked by multiple"
LegendI loved my experience. I got spot 6 which back right next to a creek. It was really peaceful. The shower facilities were clean though did smell a bit like mildew. There was no signal in the park itself but signal really close by incase of emergency.
LegendCranberry River dispersed camping along Forest Road 76 offers quiet, scenic, riverside primitive campsites with excellent fishing and easy access to the surrounding wilderness. We stayed a couple of nights at Site 8 and had great river access with only a small amount of road traffic. There were campers at about five other sites during our stay, but it still felt peaceful and spread out. With inexpensive sites spaced along roughly five miles of road, this is a great area to camp. Roads like this in West Virginia are home to some of my favorite campsites, and we will definitely be back.

GuideThis is a family run, business that gives back to the community. Our guides, Brian and Mason were efficient, conscientious, and FUN!!! They made the most of every rapid and even tailored the trip especially to our group! Lunch was delicious and the price was perfect. We got every penny’s worth!
LegendMix of wonderful water and electric sites with ok full hookups. Beautiful river spots. The owner was wonderful. No laundry, showers or wifi. The price was $40 a night full hookups.
LegendGeneral: Mash Fork is one of three campgrounds at Camp Creek State Park and is the developed one. It is small (18 sites) with a mix of 30-amp, 30-amp with water, 50-amp with water and electric, and FHU sites.
Site Quality: All camper pads are paved, have a generous camper pad length, and most are spread a decent amount of space apart.
Bath/Shower House: was very clean. Instant hot water was appreciated at the tap (it was in the 30s when we were there in mid-October) Hooks and shelves for toiletries were appreciated. Did not use the shower.
Activities/Amenities: Playground, basketball, volleyball, laundry (but there was water on the floor so not sure if there was a leak), several hiking trails including trails to two waterfalls, and an ADA-accessible short trail. The waterfalls were very sparse when we were there so not sure about other times of the year. There is an office with a small store.
This was only an overnight stay for us but very enjoyable. We'd definitely come back.
ScoutStopped here for a quick overnight and this beautiful campground had us wishing we could stay longer.
ScoutCute place off the freeway with water access and a playground, 6 mile hiking trail to waterfall and not far from town. There is a train station nearby and the trains are loud. They come by every now and then night and day, they do live music some nights and church gatherings where a man basically yells all night long. Lots of freeway noise so the nightly fee is kinda stupid considering you won't get any sleep if you stay here. The river is super planted so I wouldn't swim here either sadly.. and the showers have NO water presser yet you gotta pay for a bathroom key otherwise there's porta-potties by the dumpster.
LegendLate arrival for overnight stay. Mark, the owner & host, ask us to call & he’d meet us at local gas station so we could follow him to our site. Narrow gravel road to get to the newly developed portion of campground. We arrived during heavy rains & muddy site conditions.
Pros: 50 amp hook-up Water Sewer Mark is a great host
Cons: Gravel pad One lane road in & our Under construction 42’ 5th wheel drug bumper to/from campground Cash only payment
GuideCampground is well maintained. Many trees along edge of the campground but not very many in the center, so the sites on the outer loop have more shade if that’s what you’re looking for. Showers were the best of any campground I’ve seen- water gets as hot as you’d like, with great water pressure and plenty of hooks and towel racks. Laundry room available in bathhouse. Little camp store is located within the campground loop. No service for Verizon users… Sites have wifi but I could only get it to work 20% of the time.
Camp Creek State Park's equestrian facilities extend beyond the Double C Horse and Rider Camp to include a network of backcountry trail options for riders seeking more remote experiences. Located at 2,500 feet elevation in southern West Virginia, the park's equestrian areas experience cooler temperatures than surrounding lowlands, with daytime summer highs typically 5-8 degrees lower than nearby towns. The terrain transitions between hardwood forests and open meadows with varying levels of rockiness on different trail segments.
Trail riding beyond park boundaries: Camp Creek's trail system connects to broader networks of trails extending outside park limits. "This is a family run, business that gives back to the community. Our guides, Brian and Mason were efficient, conscientious, and FUN!!! They made the most of every rapid and even tailored the trip especially to our group!" noted Judy W. about New & Gauley River Adventures, which operates near the park and offers guided adventures.
Waterfall exploration on horseback: Multiple waterfalls accessible via horseback provide natural rest stops. "We stayed here for one night on our way back north. We got the last site available and it was pretty decent. Site 10 across from the bathhouse. The site was very level, as were most sites. The waterfalls are a short walk from the campground," reports Kevin E. from Mash Fork Campground.
Creek crossings and swimming holes: The trail system features multiple creek crossings where horses can cool off during summer months. "Beautiful RV Park. Wonderful sites for parking your RV. Very well lit with very modern water and electric hook ups. The park is right on the beautiful Elk River where you can swim, float or kayak," shares Katrina B. about nearby Elk River Camp and RV Park.
Natural corrals in primitive sites: Some backcountry areas feature natural rock formations that create partial corrals. "Backpacked and Camped here multiple times for both hiking and fishing. The main trail is graveled and very easily accessed. It runs along the Cranberry River with beautiful views all along the way," writes Mike F. about Cranberry River Sites, which offers similar natural features.
Multi-day trip options: The trail network allows for overnight camping at designated backcountry sites. "We were in site number eight, it backed up to the creek and was quite private with the exception of the trail on the other side of the creek. The hiking is difficult in some areas but spectacularly beautiful," notes Julie B. about Mash Fork Campground, highlighting similar creek-side camping opportunities.
Seasonal color variations: Fall foliage transforms the riding experience from September through early November. "We loved every moment of our stay from the fire pit to the beautiful tails on the property to seeing the farm animals. The constant songs of the birds is a reminder that we belong in nature," shares cheryl B. about CB Ranch, which offers similar seasonal experiences.
Weather preparedness requirements: Mountain terrain brings unpredictable weather patterns, especially afternoon thunderstorms in summer months. "Just off I-77, but the interstate is barely audible from this great no-frills campground," notes Allen E. about Mash Fork Campground.
