Best Campgrounds near Bluefield, VA

633 Reviews

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.

    Creekside Camping

    Beautiful sites

    Huge sites by the water (creek), power and water. Fire wood at each site. There are fire pits, barbecue grills, 2 sites have picnic tables, and one site has a wooden swing near the creek. The ground is uneven, so we had to move around a bit to get level. The sites do not have concrete or gravel pads. You park in the grass. Pick your spot, and you might need a long power cord. The bath house is up the hill (a bit of a climb), traditional toilet and sink inside, the shower is outside. Open air shower. Very quiet here, only a few cars pass by on the small road up the hill. We have a 14ft. teardrop camper and use an AWD vehicle. Not sure what the largest size camper would make it back here. The road is very narrow and you’re parking on the grass. There is also a small laundry building up the hill.

    Royal Oak Campground — Hungry Mother State Park

    Beautiful campground in the woods

    We camped here over the weekend with our dogs. The campground was fantastic. All campsites are on platforms, which makes it very nice to set up your stuff. The sites have the usual amenities like a picnic bench and table, a firepit, and a lantern pole. The bathhouse was very clean and taken care of. There are several spigots with drinking water through the campground. The bathhouse also has a dishwasher station. There are multiple trails within walking distance. The park is very well maintained and clean. You can hike, swim, or rent a canoe.
    We would camp here anytime again.

    Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine Campground

    Off The Beaten Path!

    Small city RV park adjacent to the Coal Mine museum. Nothing fancy, but quiet, full hookups, paved sites with trees & lots of shade, picnic table, fire pit & grill. Property was well maintained. You drive through an older neighborhood on a narrow road. Lots of bigger rigs there so not really an issue. Called & made reservations through the museum gift shop the day of on a Friday in August & they had plenty of spaces. The ladies in the gift shop were friendly & very helpful. The museum was very interesting & they have tours that go into the mine along with houses & buildings of the era. Definitely would stay again.

    Great campground! All the comforts

    Nice campground, has variety of accommodations including RV and tent sites and small cabins. Huge game room, heated pool and lots of recreation areas for kids. There is a stream and pond, which allows catch and release. Laundry is small but functional and right by pool deck that has covered tables. No issues with staff…everything smooth for reservations. We stayed here to visit friends close by and we also drove to WV to raft New River, about 90 minutes away.

    Whitetop

    Incredible views! Scary potholes!

    The road to this site is WILD, but doable! I’ll leave photos of the worst spots to help you decide whether or not you should drive up to the top. We drove our 2WD Ford Maverick up the rocky road and it handled it just fine. It was dark when we pulled up and difficult to see the campsites if they were not occupied already. But we found a spot that we assumed was a campsite, pitched a tent, and made it work. We mainly wanted a quiet place to sleep and gorgeous morning views, and we got both!
