Best Campgrounds near Jacksonburg, WV

247 Reviews

Camping options near Jacksonburg, West Virginia range from rustic wildlife management areas to fully developed state parks with modern amenities. The Lewis Wetzel Wildlife Management Area sits directly adjacent to Jacksonburg, offering primitive tent camping with minimal facilities. Within a 30-mile radius, campers can find more developed options like Bigfoot Ridge with cabin and glamping accommodations, North Bend State Park with both tent and RV sites, and Conaway Run State Lake for basic lakeside camping. The diversity of campgrounds provides options for various camping styles and preferences across the rolling hills and forested valleys of northern West Virginia.

Road conditions and seasonal availability vary significantly throughout the region, with many campgrounds operating primarily from April through October. Most state park campgrounds close during winter months, though some like Ryerson Station State Park in nearby Pennsylvania remain open year-round. "There is NO Verizon service at the campground," noted one camper about Ryerson Station, highlighting the limited cell coverage common in this rural area. Facilities range from primitive sites with vault toilets at Lewis Wetzel Wildlife Management Area to full hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer connections at parks like North Bend State Park. Weather patterns can change quickly in the Appalachian foothills, making spring and fall the most comfortable camping seasons, though summer heat is typically moderated by elevation and tree cover.

Campers frequently mention the region's natural beauty, peaceful settings, and outdoor recreation opportunities as major highlights. The area offers excellent hiking with several campgrounds providing direct trail access. Fishing is popular at Conaway Run State Lake and Tygart Lake State Park, though one visitor noted Conaway Run is "pretty rustic" with "porta potties" and "no running water." North Bend State Park receives particularly positive reviews for its riverside camping, with one camper describing it as "real camping, not a suburban party fest" with "great hiking with well marked trails" and "fantastic biking on the 72 mile North bend trail." Several campgrounds in this region feature historic or unique amenities, including the Bigfoot-themed yurt at Bigfoot Ridge, which according to a visitor has "all the essentials including a shower house with laundry, a creek, and an amazing bed."

    Lane Farm Campground

    Quiet little campground for only $10.

    It is getting difficult for travelling motorcyclists to find a campground to sleep for the night as most that call themselves campgrounds are RV parks and don't allow tent camping.  Lane Farm is a gem for travelling motorcyclists.  We stayed there a week after labor day.  The rate as of 2025 is $10 and it is first come, first served for the 4 sites.  We were the only ones there.  The  amenities there are a vault toilet (it was clean and stocked with toilet paper), trash bin by the toilet building, picnic tables, camp fire ring with cooking grate, and lantern post.    It is right on Ohio state route 26, but there was very little traffic noise.  The entire campground is paved and the parking spots and sites were very spacious. There are parking spots in front of the toilet building.  As with many rustic national/state forest campgrounds there is no potable water there.  That didn't bother us as we came prepared with our own water and toilet paper.  The Little Muskingum river on the east side of the campground was very shallow and slow moving in September.  I don't know what it would be like earlier in the camping season.  All four sites are close to the river.  I was surprised to find that a week after labor day weekend there was still plenty of laying dead wood in the woods available for camp fire wood.  The forest service changed their web site structure and you'll find most of the links posted online won't take you directly to the campground page.  The current working link for the campground is  https://www.fs.usda.gov/r09/wayne/recreation/lane-farm-campground

    Audra State Park Campground

    Quiet

    Hune Bridge Campground

    What Bridge?

    OK, yes, there is a covered bridge, but it's closed and full of local yocal graffiti. Part of the draw for me was the river running alongside, but it is bone dry. Other than that, it's your typical midway NFS campground. By midway, I mean it's not a full campground, and it's not a primitive site. Since the bridge is closed, a detour is available on the site, although it is not entirely clear.

    As with most NFS sites the email for the ranger isn't correct, and they don't answer phones or return messages. You're on your own.

    Kick Back n Camp

    Last Minute Getaway

    My husband and I went on a spontaneous camping road trip. We called the campground, and they had availability for walk-ins! Usually, you’d have to book in advance. The campsite was a semi-private spot, and it cost less than $30 a night, without electricity. They also have sites with electricity. We were fortunate enough to have no campers around us, making it quite private.

    The campground had a picnic table, a fire pit, and they even delivered our firewood directly to our site. They had separate sites for RVs and tent camping, so we could choose the one that best suited our needs. The owners were incredibly friendly and outgoing, making our stay even more enjoyable.

    If you forget anything, the campground office had everything you needed for purchase. They also had a well-organized brochure that showcased the campground’s amenities and offerings. And let’s not forget their delicious ice cream! They had a variety of flavors, and I highly recommend trying them all.

    One of the standout features of the campground was the bathhouse. It was spotlessly clean and felt like a spa. The showers were comfortable and had hot water, making it our highlight

    Overall, we had a fantastic time at the campground. It was a great place to unwind and connect with nature. If you’re looking for a peaceful and affordable camping experience, I highly recommend this campground.

    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.

    Zion Retreat & RV Park

    Quiet and beautiful spot in the eastern Ohio hills

    Was a great camp, clean and well kept. Had a great spot by the lake right off the back of our camper. Make sure you have a good tow vehicle as there is a steep hill at the entrance/exit of the camp ground.

    Sand Springs Campground

    Remote wilderness

    Was a nice campground. Wish I would have picked a better spot. Was tricky backing in. Lots of tress. Was off season so felt like I had the place to myself. Gets some crazy fog but lot of parks and trails close by.
