    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Campgrounds around Bluefield, Virginia range from established sites with amenities to more rustic accommodations across Virginia and West Virginia. The area features several options including Stony Fork Campground with tent, RV, and cabin sites about 40 miles northwest of Bluefield, and Deer Trail Park & Campground offering 70 sites with full hookups approximately 45 miles from the city. Cavitts Creek Park provides seasonal camping from May through September, while multiple privately-owned campgrounds like Hilltop Escape and Goforth Mountain Homestead cater to different camping styles from tent camping to RVs with varying levels of amenities.

    Road conditions and accessibility vary significantly throughout the region, with some areas requiring careful navigation for larger vehicles. Many campgrounds feature paved roads within their boundaries, but access to more remote sites may involve gravel or unpaved surfaces. "An extremely clean, well maintained campground with something for everyone. We pull a 38' fifth wheel and had no problems getting into our creek side space," noted one visitor about Deer Trail Park. Cell service ranges from adequate at developed campgrounds to virtually nonexistent at more remote locations, with several reviews mentioning limited connectivity, particularly at Deer Trail Park where WiFi is described as "poor in evening probably overloaded."

    The camping experience in the Bluefield area often includes natural water features as highlights. Creeks run through several campgrounds including Stony Fork and Deer Trail Park, providing pleasant ambient sounds and recreational opportunities. As one camper described Stony Fork: "Cool and quiet. Most of the campsites are roomy, shady and well-equipped. Stony Fork Creek flows through the middle of the campsite." For ATV enthusiasts, Hilltop Escape and Trailhead ATV Resort provide direct access to trail systems, with visitors noting the convenience of "trails literally out your front door." Primitive camping options also exist, with Goforth Mountain Homestead offering a single tent site on 76 acres with fishing in a one-acre pond, providing a more secluded experience away from the more developed campgrounds in the region.

      Army Camp — New River Gorge National Park and Preserve

      Great Boondocking Spots

      As 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.

      Army Camp - New River National Scenic River

      Well maintained FREE campsite

      We 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.

      Army Camp — New River Gorge National Park and Preserve

      Well maintained and peaceful

      This 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.

      Mash Fork Campground — Camp Creek State Park

      Peaceful By Creek

      I loved my experience. I got spot 6 which back right next to a creek. It was really peaceful. The shower facilities were clean though did smell a bit like mildew. There was no signal in the park itself but signal really close by incase of emergency.

      Gatewood Park & Reservoir Campground

      beautiful...peaceful...clean

      Camped here Aug 7-11. What a great place; the hosts were fantastic and the people were very friendly. If craft beer is what you like there are four (Im sure there is more) interesting breweries within 30 miles. There are also trails to take if you are a jeepster like myself. I'm going back in Sept!

      Little Beaver State Park Campground

      Nice trails, an okay site

      The second time I stayed was in site 36, which was far preferable to 41 as it was a larger site, but still moderately unlevel. Fun hiking trails down the creek and close proximity to New River Gorge.

      Little Beaver State Park Campground

      Ok campground, close to New River Gorge

      I ended up enjoying the park more than expected—disc golf was a nice surprise! However I found that loop 2 wasn’t nearly as nice or spacious as the other camping areas. The sites were small and unlevel, but the bathrooms were nice enough for a state park. I enjoyed walks around the lake (lots of fun fungi and fish to spy) but the main draw for me was the proximity to New River Gorge—only a 20-25 min drive.

      New River Trail Cabins

      Cozy, clean, beautiful cabins and fun area!

      Beautiful decor and extremely clean interior. The bed is very comfortable and linens are crisp and inviting. You can tell they don't harsh products because your skin is not itchy. The kitchen accommodations are perfect for a family with refrigerator, microwave and gas grill included with every cabin. The jacuzzi tub is a nice touch. Plenty of towels and even robes to use!

      The rocking chairs on the back porch allow you to sip coffee, while watching trout swim in Chestnut Creek. The exteriors are clean as well. The grounds are natural and well maintained. There is also a nice common area with chairs and a firepit with wood to use. 

      The staff was pleasant and helpful. 

      We went to the local movie theater and a splash pad and park for the kids in town. The downtown 4th of July parade was wonderful! We rode the Blue Ridge Parkway which is very close by and enjoyed live music at the Blue Ridge Music Center. The cabins are about 30 minutes to Mt. Airy (Mayberry). Local antiques, coffee shops, specialty stores are abundant. Car Shiws on Thursday monthly downtown and BINGO at the Moose Lodge here in Galax is the best which is on Tuesdays. If you are an antique lover or picker don't miss my favorites, many in downtown Galax and a couple coffee shops and make sure you go to "Nest and Hive" in Fancy Gap and  "The River House And Home Company" in Hillsville. You won't regret it!

      I've been coming here for 20 years and will 20 more. The mountains are calling!
