    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.

      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!

      Little Beaver State Park Campground

      Quiet and Clean

      We stayed at Little Beaver in late June and were overall very pleased with the campground! Site 38 is probably the most private within loop 1 (tent camp area) its two buddy sites are a little ways away (shouting distance) with plenty of trees in between. The site is relatively level and pretty rocky. Note that there is a walking path that runs directly behind the site and will take you over to loop 2. There weren't too many people using it while we were there though. Camp staff were friendly and helpful, if you get a confirmation email there is no need to check in you can drive straight to your campsite. 

      The one drawback of this campground is how far away the bathrooms are. You have to drive to the bathrooms/showers from loop 1. It's about a 10 minute walk. Tough in the middle of the night...

      This is always a toss up, but while we were there the campground was very quiet even with most of sites booked. 

      Beautiful little walking path around a small lake that you can take paddle boats out on. Also a few little picnic areas and more than one playground, including one right by the lake and one right by the camp office. 

      We went white water rafting with ACE (had a great time!) which was about 45 min away and my parents who were camping with us went on a bridge walk (also about 45 min away) and enjoyed that, too. 

      Overall, great campground to explore New River Gorge area.

      West Virginia Adventures Campground

      Wide open campground right outside the national park

      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. Quiet campground other than the nearby road that has trucks driving by using their Jake brakes

      Stony Fork Campground

      Lots of pretty great spots.

      Place seams tidy. Spots are nicely appointed, in that they are slightly separated.

      Army Camp — New River Gorge National Park and Preserve

      Beautiful free spot!

      This was a gorgeous and perfect spot for a night, though you could definitely stay for longer. Secluded but easy to get to, right on the river, and had everything you could need. I would have liked if the spots felt a bit more private but that’s nitpicking. I got there at about 4pm on Father’s Day and there were roughly 4 spots still open.

      Lake Ridge RV Resort

      Nice for familes

      They seem to be doing a lot of upgrades to the campground, and they are much needed to be honest. The arcade is great

      Stony Fork Campground

      Quaint little campground

      This 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.

      Little Beaver State Park Campground

      Cute little campground

      Very 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.

    Guide to Bluefield
