Best Campgrounds near Duck, WV

We spent July 4th weekend here and really enjoyed it.

Bathrooms are nicer than our bathrooms at home.

Friendly and helpful staff.  There was low key live music Friday and a band/party Saturday night that was super fun. 

Good central location to all the fun stuff in the area. 

We stayed in partial hookup site #3 and the only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because these sites are right on top of each other and there's not a lot of room to back into the space. We have a small travel trailer and it was a tight fit. Our site also overlooked a gravel parking lot and the heat reflecting up off the gravel made our location very HOT during the day. 

Overall, however, I liked this campground and would stay here again.

Camp Creek State Park West Virginia.

 This was a drive through, we didn't camp here. This State Park is only 2 miles from I- 77! Exit 20. 

This is a hiking park & also has horse trails.

 We stopped at the office for a map & the lady at the desk was very nice & friendly.

There are a lot of nice picnic areas too.

Two very nice waterfalls. The first waterfall is on a road right by the modern campground so of course we had to visit. 

9 electric sites.

9 full hookup. 

8 water& electric.

A nice looking bath house.

 I liked the sites that were by a creek- 8/9/10/13/14/15/16/18. 12 is a pull thru. These sites have a paved pad & the whole campground looked nicely kept. All the sites looked flat. There's a dump station on the road out of the park.

 Blue Jay Campground is primitive camping along a creek. 12 sites. They looked very nice. There's pit toilets. This campground is on the road to the 2nd waterfall. There's parking by the gate. 

Further down from Blue Jay is a locked gate. Beyond the gate is the Double C horsemans camp. You have to register at the office & they'll give you a key. 

I really liked the modern campground. If we ever travel this way again I would stop here. There's no interstate noise in the campground.

I think this was described on some maps I looked at as being "dispersed" camping. But being familiar with many dispersed campsites out in the western US, this ddid not feel very dispersed at all. Sure: it is dispersed in the sense that it is way off thhe beaten track, far down into the national park that  requires traveling a long way on a dirt road to  get there.  But thee sites themselves in the camp spot are not dispersed. You are essentially going to be right next to, annd right within sight of, every other campsite. This was not a problem for me since I was there on a weekday and off-season (mid November), so I haad the place to myself. In that sense, it was quite peaceful and had some nice views being that most of the sites were within ssight of the river, or within a few feet of it.

One  thing to keep in mind, a thing that would be true for pretty much any camping area next to the river here in the national park is that there is a train track on the other side of the river thaat is definitely active, several trains going through per day. So it won't be one of those places you would go if all you want to hear is the sound of birds chirping.

But given that it is a free campsite, it's absolutely adequate, and has clean restrooms (at least the day I was there) with pit toilets inside.

Absolutely loved this park! We camped near the end of October for 5 days, so there weren’t a ton of other people, but the park was clean and quiet. The bath house was pretty nice and had three showers. The water had some issues while we were there (as in the sink was so hot it physically hurt to wash your hands) but seemed to be a fluke and was fixed by the time we left. We camped at site 21, which was the middle of a loop and it was space and flat. It had another site next to it but it was further apart than other sites. Some of the edge site, like 19 had some sloping issues Roads through the park from the campground to the main part of the park are really narrow and seem like you aren’t supposed to be there but are well maintained. Hiking was great and my young children hiked all of it with us. Overall, highly recommended.
