Several RV campgrounds surround Morgantown, West Virginia, with options ranging from state forest sites to full-service resorts. Coopers Rock State Forest provides 25 sites with electrical hookups, utility posts, and gravel pull-ins, with a few pull-through sites specifically designed for RVs. Double G Campground in nearby McHenry features big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections. Pine Cove Beach Club RV Resort, open year-round, accommodates larger rigs with spacious pull-through sites and complete hookup options. Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground offers 120 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp service from mid-April through mid-October. "Sites are very large. Water pressure was good. The grounds were very clean and well kept," noted one RVer about Chestnut Ridge Regional Park, highlighting the spacious layout common to several parks in the region.
Navigation to some mountain campgrounds requires careful planning due to narrow, winding roads with elevation changes. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with stronger signals at campgrounds closer to Morgantown and spotty coverage in more remote locations. Most RV parks in the region are pet-friendly but enforce leash requirements. Dump stations are available at most locations, though placement can sometimes be awkward - one reviewer mentioned a dump station "oddly located in a slightly wider part of the loop" that could cause traffic issues for larger rigs. Seasonal availability is an important consideration, as many campgrounds operate only from spring through fall, with limited year-round options. Firewood is typically available for purchase on-site, with some parks offering delivery directly to campsites for a small fee.

LegendDecent size RV park with mostly seasonal and full time residents. They are still happy to have short term campers. Nice full hook up sites and cable TV. Staff was very friendly. Firewood is abundant, good quality, and cheap. Not a whole lot on the way of amenities, but it’s a nice facility. Location is great, very close to the lake and the ski resort. If you want to camp while at the lake this is a great choice.
LegendSite was very large and private, surrounded by beautiful forest. Plenty of room for our pup, TV, pop-up gazebo, and gear. Each site had a fire ring with grill grate, and a nice, large, composite picnic table. We were right in front of the bath house, which was convenient, but the light was pretty bright at night. We were also the closest site to the loop entrance, so we could hear some traffic along the main park road. Didn’t bother us too much, but I imagine it would have been pretty noisy if we’d been there during peak summer season. Camping loop overall was nice and quiet, though; we had two neighbors while we were there, and barely saw nor heard anything from either of them.
Simply put, this park is absolutely gorgeous. Easily the most beautiful MD State Park we’ve visited. Everything, from the forest, to trails, to lake, to Meadow Mountain, is a camper/outdoor enthusiast’s dream. The fall foliage made everything even more beautiful. Apparently, the park is very popular amongst cross-country skiers in the winter, especially since they have full-service cabins and a warming hut by the lake. I’m not into cold weather at all, but I imagine I would love to spend a day by the lake in the summer time. Said lake area also has a concession stand, boat rentals, swimming beach, rec hall, and nature center, but these were all closed since we were there out of season.
Bath house in our loop was old and small, but kept very clean. I never used the shower, as it was too cold, but it looked adequate. LOTS of spiders, which don’t really bother me, but definitely a nightmare for arachnophobes.
We drove through the two other, non-pet-friendly loops, which were also beautiful. Sites were spacious and private, just like in our loop, but with the addition of tall pines. Saw mostly tent campers, and a few small TTs. The roads were very narrow, with a decent incline, so not big-rig friendly.
Note that there is very little to no cell phone reception in the park, so combined with the lack of hookups, this is definitely an unplugged, “connect with nature” type of camping experience.
Overall, I absolutely loved this park, and can definitely see why it’s referred to as Maryland’s “hidden gem.” The only negative was the lack of hookups, as it got pretty cold at night, and our battery was unable to sustain the needs of our heater. It would have been fine if it had been just me and my husband, but I think it was just too cold for our small kids, especially with the wind and rain we encountered. I would love to return in the summer though, especially since the area doesn’t experience the same type of extreme humidity as the more central and eastern parts of Maryland. Highly recommended!
TravelerWe headed to ride the trails at big bear lake camplands and booked here considering a recent outbreak of covid at the lake. The on call staff met us at the gated community and helped us get situated on a shaded lot. Very nice and quiet with mostly seasonal or permanent snowbirds. Small pond/lake on the property and plenty of shade. The lot was a challenge to be centered and level which led to us exiting our camper downhill. The water access was in ground and I cant imagine a camping couple that's well beyond retirement finding that convenient but it didn't impact us. Pet friendly and large lots. Bathhouse was closed due to covid. No firewood at this campground to purchase but fire ring provided and picnic tables.
LegendVery large park with a variety of campsites ranging from tent, 20/30 amp, 50 amp, and yurts. Price is the same for all electric sites, regardless of amperage. There is a 40-foot maximum vehicle length allowed in the campground– not a problem for our 17-foot van but the staffer who checked us in remarked that many people come in with larger rigs trying to squeeze in and are unable to. We had no problem securing a site with no reservation on a Monday evening after Labor Day. Very close to two Frank Lloyd Wright properties– Kentuck Knob and the more widely known Falling Waters. Other things to do in or near the park include whitewater rafting, rail trail biking, hiking, zip-lining and touring Laurel Caverns. The nearby town of Ohiopyle has many outfitters and several restaurants. The sites are all located on roads leading off the main road; we stayed in a 20/30amp site on Cherry Road (Site 49). It was right next to the bathroom which was good and bad. Good for proximity but bad because we could hear the hum quite clearly. Also, the door to the women’s room would hit you in the rear quite forcefully unless you held onto it (it took me three times to remember to do this)! There was a dishwashing sink in the women’s room (and I’m assuming in the men’s room?); it was very clean, but the only downside was having to do the dishes by myself! Alcohol is prohibited. Only certain areas allow pets. Only one garbage/recycling station outside of the campground. Wood and ice are available 24/7 on the honor system– very nice not to have to wait until a host is on duty to get what you need. Quiet hours 9 pm-8 am, a bit longer than most campgrounds but except for some sites with campfires still burning with people talking, it was very quiet in this campground. Surprisingly strong cell signal for being deep in the woods.
GuideThis is a lovely army corps of engineers campground. The sites are gravel and level. Most only have 30 amp electric hookup but water can be filled at the “gatehouse” (for lack of better description). There are 3-4 full hookup and a few 50 amp. It is well-maintained— lawns mowed, bathrooms cleaned, sites tidy. Bath house isn’t modern but showers are hot and have great pressure. Campground filled up on the weekend. The sites are a bit close to each other and are mostly sunny but it was quiet anyway. Lots of people fishing on the river—access right from the campground. Great Allegheny Passage trail also accessed from the campground. Boating on the lake too.
ScoutVery friendly ownership. Always go out of their way to accommodate. Pleanty of very well maintaIned large sights all pull through. Great camp store, fire wood, fire rings, very clean facilities. Three large lakes, fishing. One of our very favorite places to camp with our 38 foot motorhome.
RangerThis is the largest state forest in West Virginia, it has a total of 25 sites that vary in their privacy. Each site has electrical hookups, picnic tables, fire grates, and utility post. The sites in the middle of the loop lack privacy that the outer loop sites have. There is one bath house that has hot showers, flush toilets, water spigots, and now WIFI. Pets are allowed but must be kept on a leash. There are gravel pull-ins for the sites, there are a couple of pull through sites for RVs.
The campground gets busy during the fall because it is so close to Morgantown and Mountaineer games. There are lots of hiking trails, coopers rock is definitely a must to see during sunset. Ravens rock is also a beautiful look out trail. Rock climbers have a lot of rock outcroppings on short trails for climbers to utilize. Fishing, biking, and hunting are also popular activities that can be done here.
ScoutOverall, we really enjoyed our stay here. We camped at site #15 and it was perfect. It fit our 34ft toy hauler without any issues. The park is beautiful and very well maintained. -Sites are spaced out. -Dog friendly. -$5 firewood bundles at the entrance. -Cleanest bathrooms/showers -Crystal clear stream with beautiful trail to the lake. Both stocked with fish. -Lots of picnic tables at the lake. -No formal check in. -Nice playground. -Easy access to dump site. -Kinda close to a main road so you do hear some traffic but nothing too bad. We will definitely be back! We love this area!
GuideCamping in a 33 ft travel trailer with slides. Verizon service is great. Wifi in extended parking doesn’t work well. The staff are helpful and polite. We are in the extended stay part of the campground which is quiet and slightly more secluded than the other spots.

Water activities on the Youghiogheny River: Several campgrounds provide direct river access for kayaking and tubing. At The Blue Canoe RV Resort, visitors can launch directly from the property. "Located on the Youghiogheny River. Many full hookups... It was very muddy after the ramp, so it was slick getting to the river and we sunk into the mud several inches," notes Rob S.
Biking on GAP Trail: The Great Allegheny Passage trail connects Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Maryland. "The GAP trail rolls right through the middle of this traditional KOA campground. The seasonal RVers and weekend warriors have long claimed their sites, but for through riders on the trail there is a special place to camp," writes Shari G. about The Blue Canoe RV Resort.
Stargazing opportunities: Some campgrounds have designated viewing areas. At Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground, Tom C. found "a nice secluded spot to camp in the wooded area that had amazing mountain views and the star gazing platform."
Family-friendly amenities: Many campgrounds prioritize activities for children. "So much to do for the kids. Clean and well kept," notes Kaylee L. about Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground, while Heath T. appreciates the "pool & concession stand, beautifully maintained lawns and gravel campsites" at Pine Cove Beach Club RV Resort.

Book early for holidays," advises Rob B. about Benner's Meadow Run. At Pine Cove Beach Club RV Resort, Michael and Betty L. found it "wonderful hosts, well maintained, large sites, close to the highway but no road noise."
Quiet locations: Despite highway proximity, many campgrounds maintain peaceful environments. "We went to Benner's meadow the end of September. Not many people were there and the seasonal campsites were mostly closed up for the winter. This was our first big trip with two large dogs and it did not disappoint. It was relaxing and quiet with large spots to space out in," shares Emily L.
Variable site conditions: Site quality and layout can differ significantly at the same campground. As Joni P. notes about Benner's Meadow Run: "The sites are very close together with little privacy. We stayed in site 435. The site was sloped pretty bad side to side and there is a drop off on the one side of the fire ring so we could not sit completely around the fire."
Management changes: Some properties have transitioned ownership while maintaining facilities. Heather M. observes, "This is a former KOA campground, but still has the same management. The good: pretty campground, clean and nice amenities. Bad: the management is rude and unfriendly."
Seasonal considerations: Off-season stays offer different experiences. Ricki F. writes about CAMP73ROCKST☆R: "Safe place to pull over for the night right of interstate." Many facilities close during winter months, with limited year-round options.

They are still happy to have short term campers."
Bathroom accessibility: Consider proximity to facilities when traveling with children. Ricki F. mentions staff "set me up close to the bathhouse. They were older but clean and well maintained as was the whole campground" at Benner's Meadow Run.
Utility considerations: Water pressure and electrical service vary between parks. Heath T. found "modern hookups, good shower/laundry facilities" at Pine Cove Beach Club RV Resort, while Tim & Nancy C. noted Benner's Meadow Run was "well kept. Staff working hard getting things ready."
Site leveling challenges: Many mountain campgrounds have uneven terrain requiring additional equipment. Fred R. observed at The Blue Canoe RV Resort that "Some river sites were small and very un level but was doable."
