"This was a convienent campground right off the highway, easy to get to, small but has a few full hookup sites."
"Both CGs have a large creek running adjacent to the CG. Trout fishing was very popular though I didn’t catch any. They do restock this time of year."
"There’s tons to do at this campsite from beautiful trails, to a golf course and they even had a resort at a different portion of the park as well."
"I chose this particular place because it was two hours away from family that we had not seen in a while. Coming from South MS, I had no idea how stunning WV would be."
"Rv sites are large and easy access to back into your site. Fire pits and picnic tables. Restaurant right next door. Cabin and camper rentals very well kept. Trails are literally out your front door."
"Right next to outlaws and Hatfield McCoys plus a terrific restaurant right there at camp. We LOVE Hilltop Escape and highly recommend for all ages!"
"On a weekday in the fall, the road was very quiet, but I imagine that in the summer when carloads of people head to Campbell Falls, it would be a different story and would take away from the peacefulness"
"Except of one, all other campsites are directly next to a beautiful creek. It was very calm and peaceful. The toilets were kinda messy."

GuideThis is a nice little campground. They have sites with electricity and water hook-ups, just electric hook-ups and some with out either. The sites are very well maintained and with all of the trees, they feel pretty secluded and spaced out. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nature get away.
GuideVery well maintained. Spots are a little close together and some are a bit exposed. The people were lovely though, and everything was pretty clean. It even had a laundry room in the shower house.
ScoutThis place has it all.. beers on tap and in the fridge, a restaurant with a great menu, the sites are spacious and even better if yiu bring your bike.
ScoutHas a very peaceful environment
ScoutPool, Level sites, nice restrooms., cable. Easy on off highway. Quiet area.
ScoutThe meadows are a wonderful little gem, although they can be a bit loud due to their proximity to the train tracks. However, when quiet, they offer a serene joy connected to nature, and are close to the river with beautiful mountain views. A good place for stargazing.
ScoutThis was our first time staying at riftrafters. Would recommend it to anyone visiting the new river george. The owners were friendly and helpful and campground was clean and well maintained. We stayed at site 32 and it was very peaceful.
TravelerMy husband and I were looking for cheap places to park with no reservations with a dog and ended up in the sandstone visitor center after hours, the sign there said “no rv access” NOT TRUE. yes, it is on a thin dead end and you can only access it by crossing over 4 railroad tracks at once, ITS WORTH IT. Firewood is available and bathrooms too with no running water or electric makes for a beautiful dark night under the stars filled with only the sounds of nature and the occasional CSX train. And yes it’s free, a park ranger came around once to patrol but aside from that it’s a first come first serve bring your things and take-em with you. Kroger is 20 minutes away, dollar general is 15, and gas is about 10 minutes. All worth it.
TravelerBabcock SP is a nice out of the way park. Great base to explore New River Gorge with plenty of local history it could be a trip on its own.
Bathrooms were remodeled a few years ago and very clean, and they have laundry facilities.
