    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Twin Falls Resort State Park Campground accommodates pets across multiple camping styles including tent sites, RV spots, and cabins. The park features multiple hiking trails suitable for walking dogs, with paved campsites providing clean spaces for pets and their owners. All pet-friendly sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and access to heated showers in the clean bathhouse facilities. Lake Stephens Campground and Camp Creek State Park also welcome pets, with sites backing up to creeks providing natural water access for dogs to cool off. Campground quiet hours are strictly enforced, creating a peaceful environment for pets sensitive to noise. Sites at Camp Creek's Mash Fork Campground include electricity, water, and sewer hookups, with some sites positioned directly along the creek.

    Numerous hiking trails throughout these pet-friendly parks offer opportunities for dog exercise, with Camp Creek State Park featuring waterfall trails accessible via short walks from the campgrounds. The camping areas maintain distance from major roadways, minimizing traffic noise that might disturb anxious pets. Park regulations require pets to be leashed at all times, and owners must clean up after their animals. Several campgrounds offer generous bundles of firewood delivered directly to campsites, allowing campers with pets to avoid leaving their animals unattended while gathering supplies. The bathhouses at Camp Creek State Park provide excellent water pressure and temperature control, allowing campers to quickly return to supervise their pets. WiFi access varies between campgrounds, with Camp Creek offering reasonably good connectivity despite the remote setting.

      Bull Falls Campground — Bluestone Lake Wildlife Management Area

      Peace & Serenity Here @ Bull Falls Campground

      You’ve struck gold here at Bull Falls Campground if you’re looking to get away from it all, discover solitude in the heart of West Virginia’s lush, verdant nature garden of Eden. Bull Falls Campground in the Bluestone Wildlife Management Area is along the western banks of the New River, far flung from all of the other nearby campgrounds you’ll find sprinkled up and down and around this river basin. 

      This is a fantastic spot for you to bring all your water toys from snorkeling and innertubes to fishing, kayaking and anything else that you want to submerge in this slow moving, tranquil snake-like river. At this campground, there’s about 20 sites or so – very small and not crowded and is open to tent campers as well as campers, trailers and even RV’s.  Campfires and pets are both allowed and there’s plenty of picnic tables.

      Nearby there’s about 4-5 really great hiking trails. Insider’s tip? Right off campsite#14, there’s a great opening that will take you down one of the longer hiking trails, which after about 1 mile or so you’ll come to a small little inlet, perfect for inflating an innertube and floating in isolation with your Bluetooth speaker playing some nice jazz with plenty of coozie-hugging beers from your floating cooler. Also, there’s some really great bird watching in these parts, so bring your binoculars.

      Happy Camping!

      Summer Wind RV Park

      Wonderful Little RV Park

      Just a wonderful small RV park in rural West Virginia. We needed to stay overnight and Ann was terrific in finding us a spot to stay in. Great hospitality and reasonable prices for the spots. Absolutely gorgeous views across the pastures and hills. As we were leaving in the morning Ann mentioned we should come down the road to her little shop in the adjacent lot to the RV park. It was a Saturday and we were just driving another 4 hours so we stopped down there. Cute little shop, fresh strawberry jam canned. It was almost lunch so we (Me, wife, and our five kids) had pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs, and soda pop. Some of the best pulled pork and slaw I've had! Can't speak highly enough of this little RV park

      Pipestem Resort State Park Campground

      all right

      Pipestem Resort State Park Southern West Virginia. 

      We spent 4 nights here. Used this park as a base camp for New River Gorge NP. There's many other State Parks we visited too.

       This park has a LOT of razzle dazzle. A zip line, a golf course, no pool but a splash pad. They also have a tram that's closed right now for refurbishing.

       A lake with fishing & boating. You can rent a boat.

       The Nature Center is nice. The typical stuffed animals. You're not allowed to pet the bear!! 

       Lots of trails. A horse barn. A large "lodge" & cabins for rent. 

      There's 82 sites in the campground. 

      1- 31 have full hookup.

       32- 49 electric only.

       50- 82 water& electric 

      Sites 1-4 are handicapped sites. 

      We were in site 1 by the bathrooms/ showers.

       There are pretty good sites, but watch the site descriptions for the incline. 

      The water/electric sites surround a large field. These sites tend to be sunny.

       1- 49 are in the woods. The sites seem small, but the perimeter sites face the woods. 

      44 is a large site, but the incline is severe, so appropriate for Class B or tents.

      I didn't like site 5 at all. It sits right as the road curves down a hill. 

      The showers/bathrooms were very much on the lower spectrum of state park clean. It looked like they had been remodeled fairly recently, but not cleaned often. The campground doesn't seem to generate the same attention as the rest of the park. There's no DNR presence, no one driving through the campground. We rarely saw any employees checking the bathrooms.

       I would probably not stay here again since we won't be coming this way for a long time.

      Babcock State Park Campground

      Babcock

      Babcock State Park Campground

      Drop Dead Gorgeous!

      Babcock State Park, located in the thriving megapolis of Clifton, West Virginia is postcard perfect! https://wvstateparks.com/park/babcock-state-park/

      The road in off the highway isn't too long, but it seemed long, winding, and up and down...especially as night fell. Driving backcountry roads in West Virginia, at night, is not my idea of fun, as I had several near misses with Bambi and her roving gang of miscreants...having no regard for traffic laws...and one knock down, drag out with minimal vehicle damage.

      One of the beauties of West Virginia...it is a sparsely populated state with open, unchoked roads that lead to some of the most amazing sights. You must be willing to explore, but you will be richly rewarded.

      In the dark, I did pass the campground signs without seeing them and turned into the State Park entrance...wound around past rental cabins to the park office, so I had to backtrack to the campground, which is located in a different area altogether. Driven during daylight hours, the signs are very apparent...so I'm blaming it on the deer.

      We arrived midweek, the first of May, so we did not reserve a site. The campground has 52 sites, so I thought we would have a good shot as a walk-in. No worries...we shared the campground with two other campers. Our campsite (site 32) was on the inner loop of the main campground loop at sits around 2450 ft elevation. The temperature got down to 30 degrees and frost covered everything. Twenty eight sites have electric hook-ups ($28) and twenty four do not ($25). The inner loop has some mature trees but is wide open and close cut grass...every camper has a view of the other. Even the outside sites on the main loop are visible. The smaller loop to the right as you enter and a few sites to the left sit in slightly more wooded sites...but there is no foliage separating sites. There is also sites on the opposite side of the roadway when you enter the campground, but seem more like overflow sites...and a fair distance to trek for the showerhouse/restroom/laundry which is situated on the bottom of the main loop.

      There is plenty of gravel parking pad for large RV/Campers at all the sites and are angled for trailer back-in. Tent pads are not define and grassy (or a muddy mix depending on weather and usage). Each site has a picnic table and fire ring.

      The showerhouse/restroom is located at the front of the loop and was spotless and maintained at the time of our stay...but not climate controlled...as in, not heated. The ladies that keep the park facilities clean worked tirelessly. A very nice activity area for kids sat along the inner portion o the main loop.

      The main entrance to the park offers several cabin rental, from economy to 4 bedroom, the park office/visitor's center/gift shop sit along the river. The park office staff were very helpful, friendly and wear many hats...like most state parks.

      This building and surrounding stone structures, retaining walls, and staircases were built by the CCC and are magnificent and in great shape. The beautiful gift shop was once a former park restaurant of a bygone era.

      Ranger Cochrane was a wealth of information about the park, it's history and neighboring parks. He graciously spent time answering my barrage of questions. Ranger Cochrane was yet another tribute to the fine personnel that WV parks have in place.

      The park office is also the best location for postcard perfect pictures of the raging whitewater and gristmill. While not the original gristmill from this location, three remaining gristmills from around the state were dismantled and rebuilt into one at the present location over 30 years ago. The gristmill was very photogenic in the early Spring, but I can only imagine the splendor when the fall leaves change color.

      Whitewater kayakers were readying to put in on the rain swollen and boulder strewn river that feeds into the New River below.

      Boley Lake, a short drive up the mountain is picturesque and well-stoked with fish. You can paddle the 19 acre lake with personal paddle craft or rent paddleboats, canoes or rowboats from the Boley Lake Marina. Fishing is permitted, but you must have proper licensing...which can be purchased online.

      Trails are everywhere and of every terrain and level of difficulty...over 20 miles of trails total. Babcock State Park is 4,127 acres, so there is plenty to see and do. Bicycling can be done on all park paved and gravel roads (no off-road trails), as well as along the Narrow Gauge Trail. And of course, being not too far from The New River and Gauley River...whitewater rafting is close.

      Summer Wind RV Park

      Peaceful and perfect for an overnighter

      This campground has views of the West Virginia mountains and overlooks a cow pasture. So much fun to stay at. Glad I found this little gem on here and would stop again if headed that way again. 30 am available.

      Old Mill Campground — Bluestone Lake State Park

      Bluestone state park

      West Virginia at its finest! Blue stone state park is right next door to the lake so there are wonderful water activities here. There is a marina where we got to rent a boat and the catfish were plentiful. Where we camped in the state park it was really pretty rugged. Mountains and lots of trees, shrubbery to navigate through. They had a swimming pool and it was clean. I loved the lake. Big and beautiful. Great time on the water!

      Eagle's Nest Campground

      New River Gorge NP camping

      The hostess was very accommodating and friendly. We had a packaged delivered to the campground before we arrived and had no problems with it. Ice and laundry facilities are available. The sites were level and easily accessible, no shade but that worked well for us using the Starlink.  There were pull throughs and back in sites, I think there are tent sites in the field beside the RV area.  The sites were full hookup and clean. Campground is pet friendly,  with a large area to walk dogs beside it. The New River Gorge NP visitor center was approx 20 min away, hiking trails were close by.  We did not do shopping or laundry at this location but I did see a Walmart in the vicinity and I am sure a laundromat would be in the city too. The campground had a small common area with chairs and a fire pit. for group gatherings.

    Guide to New Richmond

    Twin Falls Resort State Park Campground provides 30-amp hookups, firewood delivered to campsites, and various accommodation types including tent sites, RV spots, and cabins. Several other pet-friendly campgrounds near New Richmond offer hiking trails, water recreation, and amenities for pets. Campsites in this mountainous region of West Virginia range from primitive to full-service hookups, with most open from April through October when temperatures average 75°F during summer days and 55°F at night.

    What to do

    Trail hiking with waterfall views: Blue Jay Campground at Camp Creek State Park offers access to multiple trails leading to waterfalls. "Each campsite has a fire pit and a lantern pole. Except of one, all other campsites are directly next to a beautiful creek. From our campsite we had access to very pretty trails. You can hike to one of the waterfalls or along the creek," notes Katrin M.

    Coal mine tours: Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine Campground puts you steps from an authentic coal mine tour experience. "Check in at the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine…and while you're there, take a tour of the mine, museum, and associated villages (both a coal town and an earlier pioneer community). The guides are knowledgeable and friendly," shares Jean C.

    Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds offer fishing access, with Pipestem Resort State Park Campground providing trout fishing. "You can trout fish at the bottom of the mountain from the main lodge accessible by a four person tram ride," mentions Andrew S. The park also features boating options on its lake.

    Outdoor activities year-round: Campgrounds near New Richmond offer seasonal recreation beyond hiking. "This park is quiet, secluded and has plenty of trails to hike! The site I use exclusively has a river running behind it and the sounds lull you to sleep any time of day," shares Jim P. about Mash Fork Campground.

    What campers like

    Creek-side camping spots: Many dog-friendly campgrounds near New Richmond offer water-adjacent sites. "We were in site number eight, it backed up to the creek and was quite private with the exception of the trail on the other side of the creek," Julie B. says about Mash Fork Campground. These water-adjacent sites provide natural cooling for pets during warmer months.

    Quality bathhouses: Campers frequently mention shower facilities at area campgrounds. "Showers were the best of any campground I've seen- water gets as hot as you'd like, with great water pressure and plenty of hooks and towel racks. Laundry room available in bathhouse," notes Nicole M. about Mash Fork Campground.

    Wildlife viewing: The region's campgrounds offer opportunities to see native wildlife. "Very cool pioneer house with garden and rescue animals and (at least during my time there) LOTS OF DEER!!! I had so many deer along the roadways that loved to pose for pictures," shares Tom H. about Twin Falls Resort State Park.

    Spacious sites: Many campgrounds provide well-separated sites. "Sites are reasonably spaced. Some are wooded, others are out in open. Decent bathroom. Beautiful park," observes Chris T. This spacing reduces pet conflicts at dog-friendly campgrounds.

    What you should know

    Weather preparedness: The New Richmond area experiences rapid weather changes. "We had 2 of the larger campsites (#2 and #3) for Memorial Day Weekend. However, on Sunday night a strong storm came through that brought down trees with it's fierce wind and torrential rain. The power went out in the campground," reports Kim S. from Twin Falls Resort.

    Seasonal bathroom closures: Not all facilities remain open year-round. "We were told there was one open bathroom however it was not made clear this was 1-2 miles away which was not exactly convenient. Rustic camping is fine when we have planned for it," warns Jessica D. about Mash Fork Campground.

    Road conditions: Access roads to some campgrounds present challenges. "Make sure your truck/vehicle towing is not underrated for what you're pulling as it is a lot of big uphill elevation and tons of windy roads and tight turns," advises Austin-Tarra G. about Twin Falls Resort State Park.

    Train noise: Some riverside campgrounds experience regular train activity. At Grandview Sandbar Campground, "there is a train station directly across the river. And trains will and do pull through every couple of hours 24/7. That includes during the night, yes," reports Mystic S.

    Tips for camping with families

    Look for playground amenities: Several dog-friendly campgrounds near New Richmond feature play areas. "Nice playground for children. Lots of deer about. The tent sites have water, fire ring, table and nice shade," shares Michelle W. about Little Beaver State Park Campground.

    Consider cabin options: For families with pets who prefer not to tent camp, cabin accommodations exist. "I stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin and it was super affordable at 120 per night and it comes with your own personal wifi and full kitchen," reports Tom H. about Twin Falls Resort State Park.

    Check firewood availability: Many campgrounds offer firewood delivery services. "Firewood is available and they deliver it to your site. The bundles are quite generous in size," notes Kevin E. about Little Beaver State Park.

    Verify site locations: Campground layouts vary widely in the region. "The only campsite we could get was 21.. nothing else available. We stayed 3 days and 2 other campsites were empty the whole time.. 21 is not level," warns angela S. about Twin Falls Resort State Park.

    Tips from RVers

    Watch for site leveling challenges: Uneven campsites appear frequently in reviews. "Many sites looked like it may take some work to get level. We were in site 20 with a 23 ft TT and got level fairly easily but a longer rig may have difficulty in that site," advises Adam and Suzanne B. about Little Beaver State Park.

    Full hookup availability: For RVers requiring complete services, Brushcreek Falls RV Resort offers comprehensive amenities. "Nice campground. Our site was level. The pool was wonderful. Has everything you need... playgrounds, multiple laundry rooms, putt putt, store, restrooms," shares Noel L.

    Spacing between sites: RV campgrounds in the area vary in site proximity. "Like a lot of private RV parks, the sites tend to be very close to each other. Beautiful backdrop of the mountains with mist and low clouds. Gravel parking pads," notes Eric H. about Brushcreek Falls RV Resort.

    Hookup location issues: Some campgrounds have poorly positioned utility connections. "All camper pads are paved, have a generous camper pad length, and most are spread a decent amount of space apart," notes Lee D., though others mention "Our electric post was on the opposite side of our electrical outlet" at Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine Campground.
