Several RV campgrounds surround the Glady, West Virginia region, with full hookup sites and big rig access across multiple parks. Five River Campground in Parsons provides year-round camping with full hookup sites, 50 amp service, and big rig access on level sites. Smoke Hole Caverns and Log Cabin/RV Resort features 10 riverside RV sites with full hookups and is specifically designed for larger rigs. Riverside Cabins and RV Park in Moorefield operates year-round with big-rig friendly sites equipped with 50 amp service, water, and sewer connections. Revelle's River Resort offers spacious RV sites with full hookups including 50 amp electrical service. "The RV sites are very close together but in the week that we stayed we never heard any noise," notes one Five River Campground visitor, highlighting the well-maintained spacing despite proximity.
Cell service varies significantly throughout the mountainous terrain, with Five River Campground providing exceptional connectivity including WiFi and cable TV, while Smoke Hole Caverns has no cell coverage at all. Sanitary dump stations are available at most parks, though Seneca Shadows only offers a dump station without sewer hookups at individual sites. Navigation to some RV parks requires careful driving on mountain roads with 6-7% grades, particularly after dark when visibility is limited. Pet policies differ between campgrounds - most welcome pets, but Smoke Hole Caverns does not allow them. During peak seasons, especially fall foliage time, advance reservations are strongly recommended as the limited number of full-service RV sites fill quickly. Winter camping options are restricted primarily to Five River Campground and Riverside Cabins and RV Park, both maintaining year-round operations.

"However, secreted away on the bank of Stonewall Jackson Lake, in Briar Point Campground there are five token tent sites."
TravelerBeautiful 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.
ScoutFriendly staff, great riding right from the camper and a neat playground for the kids.
TravelerDispersed 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.
TravelerThere 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.
TravelerThis 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.
ScoutOvernight 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.
TravelerThis 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.
ScoutIf youre looking for away from people. Away from most people youll be. Well taken care of.
GuideGreat experience; would absolutely go back. Lucked out with weather being warm enough for swimming at the beginning of fall. Campsites set back from the road and separated by decent stands of trees from each other.
Four of five stars because designated tent pad and portions of the rest of the site (River Loop 4) were gravel over poured concrete and therefore impossible to properly stake a tent. In general, sites were spacious and well separated from neighbors. I would probably avoid River Loop sites 9 & 10, as they back on to the restrooms and have all-night light shining in.
Mountain camping near Glady, West Virginia offers accessible options throughout the Monongahela National Forest region, with elevations ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 feet above sea level. The area sits within the Appalachian Mountains where five river systems converge, creating multiple water recreation opportunities. Seasonal considerations affect campground availability, with several locations closing between December and April due to mountain weather conditions.
Fishing the riverfront spots: Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground provides direct river access with primitive camping areas. "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," notes Tiel M.
Trout fishing opportunities: Smoke Hole Caverns and Log Cabin/RV Resort offers prime fishing locations along the water. "Only 10 sites right on the river. Great fishing. Very quiet. Full hookups for RVs including cable. A little pricey for the area," shares Rob F. The resort provides easy access to multiple trout fishing areas.
Mountain hiking trails: Multiple trail systems surround the camping areas near Glady. "We did a little climbing & bouldering over the weekend. Definitely want to go back! Super clean facilities," mentions Chris E. about Seneca Shadows. The trail to Chimney Rock is just 2 minutes from some campsites, with Seneca Rock approximately 20 minutes away.
Dark sky stargazing: The minimal light pollution in this region creates exceptional stargazing opportunities. "Dark sky and an open field for stargazing," reports Jean C. about the Smoke Hole Canyon area. Clear nights offer visibility of the Milky Way and numerous constellations.
River proximity: Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground offers waterfront camping with added amenities. "It has the primitive feel, campsites are in the natural woods as opposed to a pristine tent pad. I love how open and natural it feels," explains Tiel M., who appreciated the balance of primitive camping with convenient features.
Wildlife viewing: The forests around Glady provide habitat for numerous animals. "Encountered 19 deer, 1 bear, and several other small creatures," reports Mike C. from his stay at Seneca State Forest. The natural setting creates frequent wildlife sighting opportunities in early morning and evening hours.
Natural swimming areas: River access provides natural swimming spots throughout the warmer months. "Our two dogs swam in the river, we took a hike to Douglas Falls on the Blackwater Canyon trail and really did some necessary healing from the world here," shares Kerrie K. about Five River Campground.
Helpful campground owners: Five River Campground consistently receives praise for owner attentiveness. "The owners are literally the nicest people that you will ever meet. They come around daily to check on each person to make sure all of your needs are met," writes Jamie R., highlighting the personal care that enhances the camping experience.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies dramatically throughout the region. "There is no cell phone coverage," notes Jean C. about Smoke Hole Caverns. Other reviewers mention: "I'm sure this is an amazing campsite, but it was a little too rustic for my liking. There is no cell service within 30 miles."
Supply availability: Remote locations require advance planning. "There are no grocery stores anywhere near the campsite and we didn't have any food with us. The firewood is unbundled and there are no showers," advises Evan G. about Seneca State Forest. The nearest full-service stores may be 30+ minutes from some campgrounds.
Weather considerations: Mountain weather patterns can change rapidly. "It does seem to shower quite a bit in WV," mentions Dave V. Temperatures can drop significantly at night even during summer months due to elevation changes.
Reservation requirements: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak seasons. Seneca State Forest offers unique accommodations that require planning: "We splurged and rented the Thorny Mountain fire tower. Reserve well in advance," recommends Amber A.
Riverside activities: Multiple campgrounds offer safe water access for children. "The location is amazingly located right on the Shavers Fork river on a section that was shallow and calm enough for our small children to enjoy it," shares Jamie R. about Five River Campground.
Biking opportunities: Several campgrounds offer terrain suitable for family biking. "It is a pretty level area so riding bicycles around the campground and even into town are doable," notes Erica M. about the area around Revelle's River Resort.
Weekend activities: Some campgrounds organize special events for families. "They have weekend activities for guests, and a small convenient store that's well stocked with the basics," writes Paul S. about Revelle's River Resort, which offers structured activities during peak season.
Nearby attractions: "There is a wonderful park nearby that has a walking/biking trail, splash pad, and a large playground," notes Jamie R. about the area near Five River Campground, providing alternatives when children need a break from camping.
Big rig access: Not all rv sites near Glady, West Virginia can accommodate larger vehicles. "There are a number of campgrounds in the Smoke Hole Canyon/Seneca Rocks area, but most of them are better suited to smaller rigs and tent campers. If you have a class A or are looking for something with full hookups, look no further," advises Jean C. about Smokey Bottom Campground.
Leveling considerations: Most campgrounds in the region require some leveling. "The majority of the site is level and grass," notes T N T about Five River Campground, which provides easier setup than some more rugged alternatives.
Seasonal accessibility: Mountain roads can become challenging during winter months. "Winter camping options are restricted," particularly on forest service roads with steep grades. Some RV parks maintain year-round operations but access may require chains or four-wheel drive vehicles during winter conditions.
Water and electric hookup reliability: "My family and I liked this campground a lot. We had a camp site that was right against the river with full hookups," shares Kevin C. about Revelle's River Resort, noting the reliable services even at riverfront sites.
