Best Campgrounds near Millville, WV

1,161 Reviews

Campgrounds near Millville, West Virginia cluster along the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, with several developed facilities within a 20-mile radius. Harpers Ferry Campground and the Harpers Ferry/Civil War Battlefields KOA provide access to historical sites and water recreation opportunities. The area accommodates diverse camping preferences with options for tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals. River access points are particularly popular, attracting visitors interested in tubing, fishing, kayaking, and other water activities throughout the warmer months.

Seasonal considerations heavily influence the camping experience in this region. Many campgrounds operate seasonally, typically from April through October or November, though some facilities like the Harpers Ferry KOA remain open year-round. The proximity to the Potomac River provides scenic waterfront camping but brings potential flooding concerns during heavy rainfall periods. Most developed campgrounds offer water and electric hookups, with varying levels of amenities from basic to full-service facilities. Train tracks run adjacent to some riverside campgrounds, creating noise considerations for light sleepers. A camper noted, "There is a train track right behind the campground, waking everybody up. If you're in a tent, that's not so great."

Riverfront camping represents a distinctive feature of the Millville area camping landscape. Several visitors highlight the direct water access as a major draw. Proximity to historical attractions, particularly Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, enhances the appeal of camping in this region. Many campgrounds serve as activity hubs offering additional recreation options beyond camping. According to one visitor, "This campground has an abundance of things to do. The campground offers adventures like rafting, biking, tubing and zip lining to name a few." The nearby C&O Canal towpath provides hiking and biking opportunities directly accessible from some camping areas. While riverside sites offer scenic views and easy water access, they often provide limited privacy due to their popularity and layout. Campgrounds farther from the river typically offer more seclusion but may have fewer amenities.

    Happy Hills Campground

    Campground In Need of Upgrades!

    We stayed one night here (didn't even unhook from the truck).  Arrived in the rain and were leaving early the next morning, so I didn't want to disconnect.  Our gravel pad was over 6" out of level, requiring me to use leveling pads and a leveling jack to get trailer level.  All the short-term gravel sites looked like they needed some love!

    Campground is about 80% seasonal, and apparently has no housekeeping restrictions on residents - some sites were pretty full of old dead golf carts and various debris.  Not sure I would want to stay for a destination camping experience, but it was cheap and fine for a one night stay.

    green ridge state forest

    Site 17-pleasant place to stay

    We came up here in our Roadtrek campervan. Quiet woodsy forestland. Went for a walk in the morning, lots of birdsong. A bit of road noise from the nearby highways but didn’t hear anything at night.

    Harpers Ferry / Civil War Battlefields KOA

    Not as advertised on website. Loose dogs. Sites not as advertised.

    Less amenities than advertised. We usually camp in more rustic locations and planned this trip simply for the fun of the amenities. Their website claims that the pool is seasonal but doesn't list anything else as seasonal. There was supposed to be mini golf, a giant bounce pillow, indoor basketball, an arcade with air hockey and a pool table. Mini golf was fine. The bounce pillow was deflated and full of water. The arcade/pool table/air hockey building was locked and the maintenance guy(who locks it up) was outside smoking before leaving early for the day. The employee at the camp store said it was supposed to be open until the store closed but that he probably just closed it early.

     The rules state that dogs need to be on a leash at all times and, in the two hours we actually stayed, we saw four that weren't. One was staying near us and started chasing us when we rode our bikes by. One was wandering about 4 campsites down from it's owner. We mentioned it to the person at the camp store before we were chased and she just shrugged it off. 

    The map is incorrect. It lists site numbers that don't exist and doesn't list some sites that supposedly do. We spent a fifteen minutes trying to find a non-existent site before going back to the camp office and getting assigned a new site. They acted like it was a new thing caused by maintenance but we just looked and saw a review from ten months ago saying the map was messed up then. 

    The description of the site we paid for was non electric tent with a sand tent pad. The site we got was on a hill(no actual flat spot) overgrown with weeds, no tent pad, a slanted picnic table, and no actual parking spot. You had to drive over a drainage ditch and park on the hill. If our car didn't have high clearance we wouldn't have made it. There was also a hole in the middle of the site. And the map showed that number site on the corner where another unmarked site was. Our originally assigned site was supposedly in the same group of sites, so it would've been similar. Also don't believe the claim that they're"large sites." Most of them are crammed together. There are a few that look decent sized and flat, but they want you to pay an extra$30 to pick your own site. 

    We didn't even look in the bathrooms. 

    We left after two hours. Definitely a waste of$60+ dollars. 

    Next time we'll go over to the Brunswick Family campground. Their owners are lovely people who care about their customers.

    Greenbrier State Park Campground - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

    Beautiful setting

    It is NOT closed for 2026! Spent the weekend here as it is only an hour from home. There are 4 large camping loops. Only loop C- cedar has electric. None of the loops have water hookups but all have spigots to fill your rig. There are also 3 fill stations at check in (which we missed). The campground is on a hill and the loop roads are narrow, hilly, and winding. We had no trouble with our 23 ft TT and saw some bigger rigs. There are some tight angles to get into a few sites. But, once you are in, the sites are spacious and mostly private. It is wooded without feeling overgrown. Loop D has some sites that are good buddy campsites. There are many hiking trails and a lovely lake. The only bad thing are the dated bathhouses. Mostly clean but there are only 2 showers for each fenced for each loop and they were yucky enough that we showered at our rig. It was busy but pretty quiet. It’s close to I-70

    Jellystone Park™ Williamsport

    Easter Trailer Trash

    We chose this campground expecting a family-friendly environment for Easter weekend, but unfortunately our experience was significantly impacted by repeated disturbances from a group of adults in nearby campsites. There was excessive screaming, loud music, and disruptive behavior that continued well past midnight, making it extremely difficult for families and young children to enjoy the holiday weekend. Even more concerning was the apparent lack of response to enforce quiet hours or address the ongoing noise issue. This does not reflect the family atmosphere many guests would reasonably expect during a holiday weekend. I strongly encourage management to take these complaints seriously and enforce campground rules consistently to ensure all guests can enjoy their stay. Families considering visiting during Easter weekend should be aware that this has been an ongoing issue.

Guide to Millville

The Millville area camping landscape follows the contours of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers at elevations between 400-500 feet above sea level. Campgrounds experience high humidity from May through September with temperatures averaging 85°F during summer days, dropping to 65°F overnight. Summer rainfall creates lush vegetation but can cause rapid river level changes, affecting riverfront campsites.

What to do

Fishing along the river: Watermelon Park Campground offers excellent river access for anglers. "Views of river and mountain towering above campground on opposite side" provide a scenic backdrop for fishing activities according to Matt S., who also noted the "cheap tube rentals with busses that take you 2-3 miles up the road and drop you at boat landing."

Hiking on marked trails: Greenbrier State Park features multiple trail options with varying difficulty levels. "There are lots of hiking trails," notes Beth C., while Butch B. advises, "Hike from visitor center to AT is steep and rocky," indicating connections to the Appalachian Trail for more serious hikers.

Visit Civil War sites: Antietam Creek Campground serves as an ideal base for history enthusiasts. "The proximity to historical attractions, particularly Antietam Battlefield, enhances the appeal," writes one visitor. Anthony S. adds: "The hike that leads to the lookout about harpers ferry was fantastic. This hike takes you well above the town settled in West Virginia."

What campers like

Waterfront sites: Harpers Ferry Campground is praised for its river positioning. "All spots are along the water," Mikala S. mentions. Another camper, Robin W., elaborates: "Wonderful tent campground. It is right on the river so you can go swimming right from your campsite!"

Family activities: Jellystone Park in Williamsport offers numerous organized activities for children. "This campground has tons of nice cabins and tent sites, all in wooded surroundings. There is a small creek to play in and a nice little hiking trail within the campground," says Beth C. Another camper, Mary, confirms: "The kids were never bored and had so much fun. Us, as adults, were also never bored."

Quieter, natural settings: Brunswick Family Campground provides a more peaceful camping experience. Brian S. describes it as "a small family owned campground" where "the Shanandoah river parallels the campground. The river is beautifully clean clear and cool." He adds, "There wasn't much late night going on it seemed all the campers for the most part were turned in by 11."

What you should know

Noise factors: Train tracks run near several campgrounds in the area. Sherri C. notes about Brunswick Family Campground: "Brunswick train station and depot is just a few hundred feet away and you can hear trains at all times of the night." At Harpers Ferry Campground, Mikala S. cautions: "There is a train track right behind the campground... Only had a couple come through the night our 1 yr old slept perfectly through it so it isn't too bothersome."

Weather variability: Late summer storms can cause rapid river level changes. According to Robin W., the riverside positioning means you can "go swimming right from your campsite," but this proximity also means campsites can be affected by heavy rainfall.

Bathroom facilities: Quality varies widely between campgrounds. At Antietam Creek Campground, Casey L. warns: "The one thing we had to complain about were the bathrooms. When we got there, they were okay, but by the 3rd night they were really gross."

Tips for camping with families

Book river-adjacent sites: Kids particularly enjoy swimming access. "Fishing is allowed. There are lots of hiking trails. The only downsides are how crowded it can get peak season," Beth C. says about Greenbrier State Park.

Look for organized activities: Harpers Ferry/Civil War Battlefields KOA offers structured programs. According to Erin S., "The amenities for kids were incredible, with arts/crafts, a movie theatre, an arcade, nice playground, and jumping pillow."

Consider noise sensitivity: Some children sleep through train noise, others don't. Mikala S. shares, "Our 1 yr old slept perfectly through it so it isn't too bothersome," but other campers report disrupted sleep from passing trains.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Several campgrounds have uneven terrain. Matt S. notes about Harpers Ferry/Civil War Battlefields KOA: "Our Pull-thru FHU Patio site had a serious slope. It was impossible to level my 45' motorhome without elevating the front wheels dangerously in the air."

Navigation concerns: Some campgrounds have tight access roads. Brian P. advises: "Only thing I didn't care for is the sites are pretty close together and some of the back-in sites are not very level."

Water and electric hookups: Most campgrounds offer these basics, but not all provide sewer connections. Brian J. reports about Watermelon Park: "Price is a little high considering there is no sewer hookup (dump station is on site)."
