"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.
"
"the Pipestem campground has both rustic and electric/water sites for tent camping. There is plenty to do within walking distance or a short drive. There is hiking all around the Pipestem area."
"This was a convienent campground right off the highway, easy to get to, small but has a few full hookup sites."
"Both CGs have a large creek running adjacent to the CG. Trout fishing was very popular though I didn’t catch any. They do restock this time of year."
"This campground rests by Bluestone Lake, which is where the Bluestone River runs runs into the New River."
"We stayed in Meador site 14, which was the furthest away from the bath house (still only maybe 150 yards), but it was on the water & was the most secluded (just meaning it's at the end of the row not"

"This CCC State Park is very picturesque and has several hiking trails and the man-made lake is small but offers plenty of recreation possibilities.
I found the layout a little strange."
"This campground is situated in the woods, near Lake. Has a good WFI everywhere, very clean and quiet."
"Good location not far off the exit. Would stay again!"
"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."
"West Virginia at its finest! Blue stone state park is right next door to the lake so there are wonderful water activities here."
"We enjoyed hiking the trails, swimming in the lake and sitting by our campfire. The ladies working at the check-in office were absolutely the sweetest and extremely helpful."

"This is my third review of The WV Pipestem state park campground. "
"We camped at Pipestem in a 37' travel trailer. We love this campground. Quiet, well spaced, nice roads for biking."
"There is five drive-in sites and more walk-in sites on the edge of the camp. The drive-in sites filled and vacated several times throughout the weekend."
"Glade Creek Campground has six (6) walk-in tent sites and five (5) drive in sites inside the loop for tents or medium sized RV/Campers."
$25 / night
"On a weekday in the fall, the road was very quiet, but I imagine that in the summer when carloads of people head to Campbell Falls, it would be a different story and would take away from the peacefulness"
"Except of one, all other campsites are directly next to a beautiful creek. It was very calm and peaceful. The toilets were kinda messy."
"site: some shaded sites. some sites along water. semi-private sites. amenities: a few campground options. pretty clean. attractions: near town. fishing. near pool. hiking. nature activities."
ScoutThis is a great find. If they are releasing water from the dam, it is closed. Decent bathrooms near front, but vault near end is tough.
GuideJust a one night stay. Very clean and well kept campground. Our site was level. The pool was wonderful. Has everything you need... playgrounds, multiple laundry rooms, putt putt, store, restrooms... Would stay again
ScoutFirst the good: Reservation with Map and Site assignment easy pick up. Bathrooms clean and extremely modern. Quiet and very few mosquitos. Then, the not so great. Sites really tight, all large gravel, clean but really ugly. Right on road. Some Sites no shade.
GuideSmall 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.
LegendNice 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.
RangerWe stopped for 2 nights as part of a big cross country trip
The campground is clean and well maintained
It is very much built into a big hill- I was a little worried our Avion (similar to airstream) that had low clearance would bottom out as we came in and out of entrance hill to road but we had no issue
The bathrooms were clean and well maintained
We stayed on site 9 which we liked - very easy to get in and out of
Staff were friendly
Area was gorgeous!
TravelerThis place provides an amazing view of the gauley river just below the dam! You can hike trails to the river, even to a beautiful swimming spot just below the dam and camping sites! The views are beautiful anywhere you go and there is a gave located right above the campsites that’s beautiful to view from outside! Unknown safety on air quality or safety do not prefer going in! A park a little drive up the road right along with a swimming spot off from the beach at the lake that is perfect for kids and families! Everyone is very kind and welcoming and very helpful! If you are a beginning camper this will be an amazing spot to camp
GuideThis campground was perfect for what we needed for a 2 night stay. It was 15 dollars per person per night. They have showers and clean bathrooms just a short walk from any site. All sites are big and you can pick from any available. The host is just a text or call away and he replies very quickly. It was quiet with just faint noise from the highway, but not very noticeable. This campground is less than a mile from the Canyon Rim Visitor Center and the Bridge and only 15 minutes from Summerville Lake! We would definitely stay here again!
ScoutWe took site 269 for the proximity to one of the little playgrounds and easy walk to bathrooms. We had a great time and it was easy to let our 3 year old play while we setup. Nice little trail near bath house gets you down to the beach.
