"Some really great beer places close by as well. Nice a shady too. I’d like to go back and do some exploring around the area. Just be careful with what gps app you use."
"They walked us to our site and helped us back into our spot. Everything worked well with all of the hookups. It was a quiet and clean campground."
I made the rookie mistake of picking a place at the edge of how far I could travel in a day and didnt get in till after quiet hours. I stayed at site 42 near the back. It was a nice plot with electric, water, picnic table, and campfire right with flip over grill. I didnt get to ise more than the electric due to getting in so late. Lessons learned!
After you get off the high way expect narrow twists and turns to reach the park, the park itself isnt nearly as bad as the stretch between highway and park enterence.
There is a central bathroom/house with 2 toilets/showers, all disability friendly(I can only speak for the mens side).
Dont expect to have signal. Im on tmobile and I had an occasional bar. Starlink worked allright if ai aimed it properly through the trees. The area over the road were fairly open.
Campsites are all close together and you will be able to see 5+ neighbors from any site in this narrow valley camp ground
Just a one night layover on our way home. Had no problem leveling. Sites are awful hookup. Just need a little TLC.
We spent July 4th weekend here and really enjoyed it.
Bathrooms are nicer than our bathrooms at home.
Friendly and helpful staff. There was low key live music Friday and a band/party Saturday night that was super fun.
Good central location to all the fun stuff in the area.
We stayed in partial hookup site #3 and the only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because these sites are right on top of each other and there's not a lot of room to back into the space. We have a small travel trailer and it was a tight fit. Our site also overlooked a gravel parking lot and the heat reflecting up off the gravel made our location very HOT during the day.
Overall, however, I liked this campground and would stay here again.
Pit toilet building was well maintained and no smell, only issue was lack of water. Sites were large and fellow campers were polite and quiet. No cell service from 20-30min away. 11 total sites but late commers were able to park in the day use area.
Small sites but full hookups. Many amenities. multiple pools in the area, mini golf, animal exhibit although closed when we were there. Both trails we went on weren’t maintained well but the area was pretty.
Really enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful resort style property and close to the National Park. Sites are big, a few are un-level but ours in site 15 was great. Clean facilities. Great pool and restaurants. Activities offered are awesome. Great place to vacation!
Bluebird Campground was one of three camps in this section of the park. 12 sites in the primitive section were all next to a medium-sized creek with rapidly running water. Great hiking trails, though not really scenic, some are challenging, and the one I hiked with my dog was muddy with tiny creeks running through and large logs in the trail to traverse. The sites were very spacious and relatively private from other campers but the road was a few feet away with light traffic on the weekday. The speed limit was 10 mph,so not to disturbing.
This was a great base for visiting New River Gorge NP. The campground is quiet with well space sites. Bathrooms are traditional but clean and functioning well. Laundry had only 1 washer and 1 dryer. The park has a lot of trails and a lake but we didn’t have time to check them out. 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.
Wonderful park for pretty much everything from zip line to water park, and to some of the most gorgeous trails in the region. The campground was extremely clean including bathrooms and showers that are immaculate. There are tons of sites to accommodate pretty much any rig. Nice camp store with firewood and propane refill. Most site are full hookup, but not all.
