Trails undulate with the terrain. The short trail within the campground area is steep in areas but offers some nice views."

"Blackwater State Park, Davis, WV https://wvstateparks.com/park/blackwater-falls-state-park/
Camping anywhere in West Virginia is a highlight, but this area offers hiking views aplenty."
"This was our first stay in a state park campground in West Virginia and it was a great stay. Arrived during a steady downpour and rented a cabin for the first night but camped the second night."
Guideroad is easy to drive on- some bumps but we were in a small kia sedan and it was fine, there are a lot of spots visible from the road but there are also some hidden a few steps away from the road that are tricker to see while driving, free camping, no permit needed, they have easy to seee fire rings where you can tell where to camp. there’s a stream that goes by some, the woods are beautiful. there are some that are about 4 mile hike to blackwater falls state park. and it’s an easy drive to seneca rocks
GuideBreathe taking views, clean, courteous and friendly staff.
This park was an excellent choice, will definitely be back when in this area.
ScoutRustic, clean porta johns, private, primitive spots on river. Community fire rings on beach area. Firewood available. Relaxing
GuideJust returned from our first weekend here. The new section is open and ready. Water and Electric Only. Dump station on the way out.
50amp - No issues.
We had empty space on either side of us. New section is spaced out with a berm of earth in between alot of the sites.
Road out a decent storm and 2.5 inches of rain in 24 hours. One tree came down close us. Probably no more risky than anywhere else.
New bath house is excellent. Old ones… meh.. they are old.
Will return.
ScoutThis is a great public park site. Well maintained and sufficiently nice amenities.
GuideWe stayed one night while passing through the area. Facilitaties are extremely clean!
We stopped though mid week in early May and the park was just about empty, one other RV sites used and no tents up. Several cabins were rented.
The birds are active and wonderful to listen too!
Has 10 pretty level RV sites and 30 ish tent walk in sites
Boat dock on the lake and several trails around.
Also has a few cabins you can rent.
Would love to spend more time here at the lake on a boat!
GuideSwallow falls is awesome year round. In the winter the snow and ice is beautiful, fall is lovely and summer is fun.
There are only a couple sites with electricity in each of the two loops.
The largest falls in Maryland, Muddy Creek Falls, 53 feet. Several other falls on the Youghiogheny River.
Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and John Burroughs camped on the site in 1918, and 1921.
ScoutVery clean and quiet. The people selling firewood were the best! Site 166 is not flat what so ever. We recommend checking out cucumber falls, which isn’t terribly far away.
ScoutThis is our first stay at this park. We have a wonderful, big electric and water site. Our camper doesn't have a bathroom so we need the bathhouse. There isn't one on every loop, but this one does have a restroom. The restroom and all the bathhouses badly need updating. The paint is peeling, they smell like mildew and the siding is rotting on them. They are clean but the creepy and gross factor are too much. There are also very limited sites that you can have a pet with you. So a nice place but if those two things are important to you just be aware
