The area around Huntington, West Virginia, has several good camping spots within driving distance. Zilpo Campground sits by Cave Run Lake where many campers spend their days fishing or taking kayaks out on the water. You'll find more natural surroundings at Forked Run State Park Campground with its tree-covered sites and walking paths through the woods. Sandy Springs Campground works well for those with kids thanks to larger campsites and a play area. Trees between sites at these campgrounds give you decent privacy and protection from the sun. Keep in mind that your phone might not work in parts of these areas, so download maps ahead of time. Watch out for the smaller, uneven spots at Forked Run - some RVs and larger tents won't fit comfortably. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable temperatures for camping in this part of West Virginia. Stock up on supplies before heading out since stores aren't close to most of these camping areas.
