2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
RV campgrounds within a 30-mile radius of Logan offer full-service sites ranging from private parks to state park campgrounds. Backwoods Camping & RV Park offers electric, water, and sewer hookups for motorhomes with gravel parking areas and picnic tables at each site. Little Coal River Campground features 50-amp electrical connections, water hookups, and a dump station for recreational vehicles. At Robert Newlon Airpark RV Park in Huntington, 50 full-hookup sites accommodate larger motorhomes with both 30-amp and 50-amp service available. Saint Albans Roadside Park maintains three first-come, first-served RV sites with electric and water connections near the Kanawha River boat ramp. "The RV area seems to have grown into a very friendly community. They have regularly scheduled events like movie night," according to one regular visitor.
Several parks require advance planning for optimal RV placement. The terrain at many sites includes sloping pads that may require leveling blocks, particularly during rainy seasons when some areas become muddy. Cell phone coverage varies significantly throughout the region, with stronger signals available at campgrounds closer to Charleston and Huntington. Most RV parks in the area remain open year-round, though seasonal closures affect some state park campgrounds between November and April. Pets are generally permitted at private RV parks, with Chief Logan State Park Campground also offering 26 level RV sites with water and electricity. Dump stations and potable water filling points are available at strategic locations throughout the region, with Saint Albans providing a free sewer dump site with drinking water for travelers passing through.
"We tent camped and there were only a couple rvs in the park so it was quiet besides the motorcycles and rvs up and down the main road. They have showers and bathrooms. Fire pits and picnic tables."
"The staff are very easy to work with - they will sell and chop the wood you need, let you put your tent in any of the open grass areas around the lot and they are flexible on arrival."
from $10 - $160 / night
"Army camp is nestled by the new river and has plenty of views of the mountains. None of us had cell phone reception, so if you’re looking for a tech free weekend then this is your spot."
"The road in is narrow and has a lot of low hanging limbs, so no big rigs here. It’s quiet apart from the sounds of the river and the bugs. Generators are allowed except for between 10p-6a."
"The park is located on a local airstrip with parachutists, apparently jumping on Sundays. All sites are within a few feet of a great bar and restaurant which was perfect after a long day on the road."
from $45 / night
"This is across the main highway from the water ways water park. Others camp here to be close to the Hatfield McCoy ATV trail system."
from $20 - $110 / night
"I stayed at Chief Logan for 3-days and 2-nights and didn’t get to do or see everything I wanted to experience at this wonderful WV State Park, so it’s worth an extended stay. "
"Chief Logan has a lot of interesting things to see, including an outdoor animal exhibit, a lodge, a pool, a theatre, and a museum all close together. Our site was full hook up and very level."
from $16 / night
"It's rare to find free RV camping, especially sites with 30 AMP electric hook-ups! "
"Albans roadside park is for pull behind campers only. No tents allowed. About 6-7 sites for campers."
"Very comfortable and quiet campground. Camp hosts (owners?) and staff are very friendly and helpful. Close to local towns for services."
"Beautiful area, close to New River National Park. Very accommodating staff. Includes wifi, PBS TV, small dog run, small playground, picnic shelter, laundry, bathhouse, firewood, ice,etc."
from $15 - $50 / night
"It’s such a peaceful place to visit. Kids can play without worry."
from $190 - $700 / night
"Huge driving area, no problem maneuvering. Very simple set up. Nice bath house. RV spots are nice concrete pads and pretty level. Hookups work. Wide open skies- great for solar."
"Nice sites amenities satisfactory kids loved it!! Nice family atmosphere."
TravelerOn top of a mountain. Gorgeous afternoon and evening views but The fog is dense in the mornings, which comes with a lot of dew, but completely worth it for the afternoon view. No shade trees at our site, but they are large and offer fire rings and picnic tables. Direct access to the happy McCoy trails. We rented just down the street the side-by-side for a couple of days and had a fantastic time.
ScoutWe were told we couldn't stay there because we weren't members
GuideWe camped in pull-thru A43. The site is decently level and spacious. The other campers were very friendly. The bath house was modern and clean.
There was so much to do here! We ventured out to most of the overlooks; the views were breathtaking! There were plenty of hiking opportunities on trails from easy to difficult. Kayaks also were available for rent.
There is a hotel in the park, but it's far enough from the campgrounds (A, B, C, and D) that the guests don't bother the campers.
I can't imagine how glorious this place must be in the fall!
ScoutThe website is dead and so is the phone number. No reservations possible.
TravelerYou would like the perfect location - reserve site 231 - at the end of- right by lake - cool breeze comes right into your camp
TravelerAs others have reported, the 11 sites here are well maintained and spaced apart nicely. The road in is narrow and has a lot of low hanging limbs, so no big rigs here. It’s quiet apart from the sounds of the river and the bugs. Generators are allowed except for between 10p-6a. Verizon has no service here. Half the sites get decent exposure to charge the solar, the other half are mostly shade. The protected river bottom meant no breeze for the 5 nights we were here, so it remained hot and buggy. But overall it’s a great spot away from the madness. Most of the spots got filled every night during the week at the end of August with a lot of daily turnover, so arrive early.
GuideWe came late an did not get a campsite. So, being that we have a camper van, we stayed in the large on site parking area.
Very nice site. No cell service. Pit Toilets only. No water or electric. However, well maintained and great spot for our dog to enjoy.
We just needed a single night and this suited our needs well. It is a little out of the way just for a single night, but think of the adventure.
GuideThis was a quaint place to reset. Relaxing!
We came late and all of the sites were occupied, but when you are in a camper van the large day use parking area was perfect!
Pit toilets are clean! Not that we used them. No hookups of any kind.
Short walk to the river and some well maintained picnic benches.
ScoutPerfect camp spot has a fire ring and table lots of trees around
Camping options near Logan, West Virginia include tent sites and RV spaces scattered throughout the forested terrain of southern West Virginia. The region's elevation ranges from 600 to 1,600 feet, creating varied camping environments across the area. Many locations operate year-round with modified winter services, though some remote sites have limited cell service regardless of season.
Hiking opportunities: At New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, Army Camp Campground offers quick access to riverside trails. "Though all campground trails are short and directly to the edge of the New River...innumerable trails are a short drive away," notes visitor Dave V. at Army Camp.
Fishing access: The Kanawha River boat ramp near Saint Albans provides easy river access for anglers. "The park also has a public boat ramp which is part of the Port of St. Albans. The ramp gives you direct access to the Kanawha River," explains Jennifer B., who camped at Saint Albans Roadside Park.
Off-road adventures: Many travelers use campgrounds as bases for ATV trail exploration. "Close to Hatfield McCoy off-road/ATV trails but there are other things to do in the area," reports camper J.A. who stayed at Backwoods Camping & RV Park.
Coal mining history: Learn about regional industrial heritage by visiting nearby historical sites. "Check out some of the mining history at the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine, about 30 minutes away," suggests Jean C. who visited Army Camp Campground.
River proximity: Many campgrounds feature waterfront locations or nearby water access. At Saint Albans Roadside Park, reviewer Sofia A. notes, "I arrived and found the dump station and filled my water tank with potable water," highlighting the practical amenities at this riverside location.
Affordability: Budget-friendly camping options exist throughout the region. "Several cabins, RV spots and grassy tent areas. The staff are very easy to work with - they will sell and chop the wood you need, let you put your tent in any of the open grass areas around the lot," explains J.A. about their stay at Backwoods Camping & RV Park.
Helpful staff: Many campgrounds in the Logan area receive praise for hospitable service. "Host John is above and beyond. His level of service was next level and was happy to offer suggestions for food, etc. Made sure I had everything and when bad weather was coming through, he made sure I was aware and safe," mentions Tara R. about Hilltop Sunrise.
Secluded camping spots: Campers seeking privacy can find quieter options outside main camping areas. "Up front is a regular campground but we are in the back, secluded and peaceful. Site 34. There are about 8 nice sites out back with water and electricity," shares Larry M. about his experience at Rifrafters Campground.
Road conditions: Many campground access roads present challenges for larger vehicles. "After you get off the highway expect narrow twists and turns to reach the park," warns Angelo V. about Kanawha State Forest, adding "the park itself isn't nearly as bad as the stretch between highway and park entrance."
Noise factors: Some campgrounds experience environmental or transportation noise. "You are literally about 20 yards from the main road, which is the only negative thing with road noise. On the other side is the Kanawha River," explains Andrew S. about Saint Albans Roadside Park.
Seasonal variations: Weather impacts site conditions significantly throughout the year. "After a night of rainfall, the New River has swollen beyond its boundaries by 50 feet or more on either shoreline," observes Dave V., highlighting how quickly conditions can change at riverside campgrounds.
Cell reception: Digital connectivity varies widely across the region. "Don't expect to have signal. I'm on Tmobile and I had an occasional bar. Starlink worked alright if I aimed it properly through the trees," notes Angelo V. about Kanawha State Forest.
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas for children. "There is a fenced in playground that is very nice. If you're a boater there is a boat slip a hundred yards away to get onto the Kanawha River," explains Andrew S. about Saint Albans Roadside Park.
Safety considerations: Family-friendly campgrounds typically offer secure environments. "Safe place - no issues with safety or security while we were there," notes J.A. about Rifrafters Campground, which received similar safety feedback from multiple visitors.
Water safety awareness: Rivers in the area require careful monitoring, especially with children. "Caution: Use extreme prudence if choosing to enter the New River itself. This is an incredibly popular whitewater rafting and paddling river...currents are fast, powerful and dangerous," warns Dave V. about Army Camp Campground.
Activity options: Family camping improves with access to diverse recreation. "The playground was great for our daughters to burn off some energy," shares Melissa O. about her stay at Rifrafters, mentioning this alongside the campground's helpful staff and comfortable sites.
Site leveling: RV campers should prepare for variable parking conditions. "Some sites are better than others! Our site was very hilly and the picnic table and fire pit were a bit treacherous to get to," reports Jacqueline K. about her stay at Kanawha State Forest.
Hookup variations: RV camping near Logan offers diverse utility connections. "The site was right next to the road, had electric, water & sewer hook-up and was easy no hassle camping," explains Randy & T. about their experience at Hilltop Sunrise.
Size restrictions: Larger RVs face limitations at some area campgrounds. "The sites did hold a bit of water after a strong rain, be prepared if bad weather is expected," notes Jason G. about Robert Newlon Airpark RV Park, one of the few parks that can accommodate larger rigs.
Overnight options: RVers passing through find convenient stopover locations. "This was a nice stop. Fairly quiet with the exception of an annoying dog that barked incessantly," reports SkywaystoHighways.com Y. about Kanawha State Forest, which serves as both a destination and transit camp.
