Best Campgrounds near Vienna, WV

340 Reviews

Vienna, West Virginia is situated near several public and private camping areas offering a range of overnight accommodations. Campgrounds in the area include Mountwood Park Family Campground with tent, RV, and cabin options just 15 minutes from Vienna, and Blennerhassett RV Park along the Ohio River in neighboring Belpre. The region also features dispersed camping opportunities at locations like Kinderhook Horse Trail in Wayne National Forest, approximately 30 minutes east. Several state parks within an hour's drive provide additional developed camping areas with electric hookups, showers, and boat access to local waterways.

Permits and reservations vary widely across the region's camping facilities. "The owner was great. I called when I was on my way, he gave me a space number, and I was able to go straight to it," noted one camper about Blennerhassett RV Park, highlighting the straightforward access at some locations. Many campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, with several closing between November and May. Cell service ranges from strong to nonexistent depending on proximity to main roads and elevation. Most established campgrounds provide water and electric hookups, while primitive sites in Wayne National Forest require self-sufficiency with water filtration or carrying supplies. The terrain throughout the region includes riverside flats and wooded hills, affecting campsite layout and accessibility.

Campers report varied experiences at sites throughout the area. River access represents a significant draw, with multiple camping areas situated along the Ohio River and its tributaries. The Harris RV Park receives praise for its waterfront location and affordability, with a review noting, "Right on the Ohio River with full hookup for $25 a night." Forest camping presents a different experience, with some visitors at dispersed sites like Kinderhook reporting concerns about privacy and after-dark visitors. Established campgrounds typically offer amenities like shower houses, dump stations, and recreational facilities. Many camping areas provide access to hiking trails, fishing opportunities, and boat launches, with several locations connecting to the region's extensive trail systems for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding.

    Hook Lake (Campground A) — Jesse Owens State Park

    Can’t wait to come back!!!

    Beautiful campground with fire pit and table. Our site was big enough for 3 6 person tents but most sites are smaller and fit 1-2 4 person tents.

    Good trails to hike and wonderful scenery. No cell reception unless you have satellite.

    The raccoons were a little to close for comfort in the evening make sure you lock your food and trash in your car at night.

    Seneca Lake Park Campground

    Okay campground

    Nice campground on the lake. Some mosquitos& gnats. Much of the campground has sites/ trailers that are owned(or leased), with some campsites for daily/ short-term reservations. Someone we met explained that the short-term ones are on flood areas so they can’t let people build on those sites. Another aspect is that there are boat slips that are owned(or leased) and those can even be in front of one of the short-term campsites so water access is blocked by those no trespassing private docks. Okay place to stay on our way across the country.

    Baileys Trail Tent Camping

    Peaceful Stay

    Wonderful little location. We drove for about 3 hours to get from where we are. Nice wide open space surrounded by woods. There were other campers but very friendly and had plenty of space to ourselves. Very nice bathroom/shower compared to what we expected. Will visit again.

    Kinderhook Horse Trail

    Nice Site, Not Private

    The site itself is quite nice, with access to toilets and picnic tables. However, it also seems to be a spot locals visit quite a bit. I’ve had two cars drive in after sunset who have just sat around for a bit then left. I would not recommend this site if you are traveling solo (Like I am).

    Zaleski State Forest

    Nice get away

    Trails are nice and kept well, campsites are clean and well maintained. at each backpacking camp (3 in total) there is water and a toilet (nothing to wipe with) water is definitely well water tastes meh better off bringing a filter just in case. I will say there is some noise pollution from cars and planes near campsite 1. We ended up meeting our guide kitty friend at camp 1- most likely dumped which sucks but very friendly. tried bringing him home but he didn’t follow us. Besides Kitty and 2 other groups i saw no one else was here which was nice especially during a holiday weekend. NO SERVICE PLAN ACCORDING make sure you have a map especially to get out of the park!!!! PS if someone sees kitty please say hi :)

    Lake Hope State Park Campground

    Small undeveloped sites

    Camp sites are very small and very unlevel, had to raise back of camper and put front about a 1/4" off grond to get close to level. Site around is sloped in all directions. No internet or phone service so great to disconnect. Friendly staff. Bathhouse had good pressure and hot water in mens bathhouse 1 but womens had low pressure, bath house 2 had low to no pressure at times, but we're very clean and nice. Bathrooms were also clean and nice. Would rate higher with more level useable area.

    Pleased!

    My family and I were just passing through for the night, and the vibe was great. It was quiet, clean, easily accessible, and offered a wide range of amenities. Highly recommend!

    Wolf Run State Park Campground

    Great chill time

    This is a smaller, older campground. We were in the non electric site area. It was pretty quiet, a great place to chill. The showers are older but well kept up. No bugs, we even watch them broom the outside windows and doors knocking down all webs.Nice shower head, good pressure. There are only vault toilets, but not bad , they pressure washed really well. Has dump station and plenty potable water stations. Good canoe and kayak lake. Part of buckeye trail on one side of lake. Has a playarea for kids with basketball court.
