The owners are so so kind and thoughtful! They made the experience here fantastic. These are full hook up sites, very affordable and great proximity to the mid and lower areas of New River Gorge National Park.
It’s definitely a no frills location. Some permanent sites mixed in but everyone was very respectful and nice. No bathhouse option but that’s fine with full hookups.
Just beware when getting here there is a very narrow road, little to at times no room to allow for another vehicle if you happen to meet up. Some large rigs got through it just don’t go fast. There is a sign pointing to the narrow road that tells you where the Rv park is.

The Greenbrier River RV Park campground was fine. It was right on the Greenbrier River and you could do float, kayak and canoe trips from the campground. There were full hook-up sites and tent sites (right on the river). The sites were pretty big and most were shaded. It was close (less than 15 minutes) to Lewisburg and to the Greenbrier River Trailhead in Caldwell. There were no walking paths or bike paths in the campground which was my only issue. Some people didn't like the trains that passed by periodically, but I like trains so no complaints here. We took a day to explore the New River Gorge National Park. Beautiful!

Great campground with roughly 40 sites for tent and RV camping. We called 30 minutes before our arrival and the friendly staff was able to accommodate us last minute. They drive me around on the side by side to let me pick our site. Most had full hook up but I ended up with a water and electric only. All facilities were clean and dump station was at a convenient location. I’ll be back!

I used to love Mtn Lake because of their secluded primitive camping where deer often visit and provided a quiet place away from the busy RV sites, however they gave into demand and now have overrun the primitive sites with RV hookups. Very disappointing. But they do have nice facilities, clean bath houses, and a beautiful well taken care of beach. Lots of fun things to do for those with kids.
Traveler
Very nice campground... Went on Labor Day weekend 2019, mainly because nothing else was available. But, I was very pleased with the Wytheville KOA Holiday, from their full hook-up, easy access sites to their very nice pool with waterslide!
Ranger
Amazingly beautiful! Relaxing!quiet! Recharge here! Full hook ups, dog friendly, very level gravel site with a stunning view of the pastures.
RangerVery comfortable and quiet campground. Camp hosts (owners?) and staff are very friendly and helpful. Close to local towns for services. The full hook up RV sites seem crowded, but the electric only sites were spacious and shady. I had a little deck with a picnic table. Even though the land is hilly, almost every site was level. The area where I camped had a single porta potty, but the main service area had clean showers and reasonably priced laundry. Short hiking trails are nearby. A children’s area is available but looked little used.
Guide
We stayed here for a couple weeks and hated to leave. The owner and staff are very available and always willing to help. Most sites are full hook up and the bathroom facilities are only for the ones who don't have full hook up. Not a lot of ups and extras, but the price is great including the price for the firewood. And did I mention they are right on the river!! As well as only minutes away from some great views and hiking.
LegendAmy and I spent the Labor Day Weekend in Fayetteville, WV. The New River Gorge area is amazing. We camped at Rifrafters Campground. It is family owned and operated. The owners were great and made a point to stop by our site and see how we were doing. The campground is clean, well maintained and conveniently located. It is only about 7 minutes from the New River Bridge welcome center.
There were several long term campers, sites were very small and close together. Fire ring and picnic table ended up under our awning. Water, electric and cable service and a few sites had sewer. Campground WiFi was weak at our site (#27).
While this was a positive stay, we prefer State Parks versus RV campgrounds.

Small campground way out in the woods right on a reservoir with great fishing kayaking boat rental swimming!! Minimal to no cell phone and Wi Fi. All sights are full hook up and most water front. About 35 sights
Guide
This was the first campground we got to try in Virginia and it did not disappoint! There’s a lot of ppl who stay here long term bc it’s so great. A train goes by across the river every few hrs and we love hearing it! The water is clear and so fun to cool off in. The bathrooms aren’t far. The owner is so friendly and lives on the grounds. He sells wood and has a small store. The only negative for me is no picnic table but we bring a folding one now! The palisades are gorgeous and a must see!! Edit: he has put picnic tables in now.

One mile off the Interstate, but you would never know it! A large hill at the west side of the park blocks most of the noise. There's even cows on the hill! Super nice people that run it, as well as the campers visiting. Each campsite has a level space, shade, and picnic table. Full hook ups, including cable! There is a very clean pool, but it was not open. Just wish there was a wildlife area with flowers here....
GuideJust 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

We picked this state park for a week long stay while we were in the area exploring the New River Gorge National Park. Since we were traveling in the summer and brought our dogs along, we needed a spot where we could leave our doggos in a safe and air conditioned space while we explored. We stayed in cabin 14 which is one of two Vacation Cabins. It had four bedrooms and two full baths along with a nice living/dining area and kitchen. There was also a lovely covered front porch as well as a simple charcoal standup campground grill and picnic table in the yard. The cabin was incredibly clean and well maintained.
The grounds are also quite large and lovely. The staff are also friendly and attentive. We enjoyed several of the hiking trails and other features like the historic Grist Mill. There were many other amenities that we did not utilize but were well kept. There was a playground, group picnic area, tennis courts and a-plethora of other lodging options. From tent sites to RV hookups and other types of cabins varying in luxury. The campground also has a coin operated laundry facility that we used during our stay.
For some reason I totally forgot to take pictures of the actual cabin! OOPS!
TravelerSpent two nights here, with a full hook up on the edge of the New River. From bumper of my TT to the river was about 30ft. Shade trees and a light morning mist on the river made a beautiful sunrise.
Note, the drive from Rt 19 to the campground is 8% grades both uphill and down, with twists, turns, and practical uturns with my 35ft. Fun for me, not for my wife lol.
Definetly will come back. It's about a 35 minute travel from Battle Run NPS area which has a great lake to swim in.

This was a overnight stop but it was a great find! We were in a full hook up pull through site 20. Gravel pads with a picnic table and fire ring. Sites were open but a decent size, and mostly level. There was a lovely stream that ran along the property with beautiful shade trees and lots of grass. We have 2 dogs and there was plenty of great area to walk them. The bathhouse was very clean but there was no A/C and only a few small windows for ventilation. The whole property was very well kept and beautiful. Will definitely be back as we travel this way each year.
Verizon phone worked good, but not really any TV reception. But we were good with that!
GuideAwesome campground, quiet and less than a mile off of 81. All pull thru, full hookup, and level sites. Pool and bathhouse are open. We had only planned to stay the night but decided to stay a couple of days to let weather pass us by. Thanks to reviews in dyrt we made an informed decision to stay here. Office very helpful and friendly. Will stay here again in our way home. And great BBQ a mile away.

This is the second time I am reviewing this State Park campground. You can see my review from last year on my ranger page. Pipestem is chock full of plenty of activities to keep your family busy. You can trout fish at the bottom of the mountain from the main lodge accessible by a four person tram ride. There is a couple nice restaurants on site and off site. Horseback riding, hiking, boating, a fire tower you can climb, and an outdoor movie theater on the wknds a few miles from pipstem. You can find out what is showing for each wknd on the (Pipestem drive-in) FB page on every Tuesday. there is a very big swimming pool with a wonderful golf course situated right beside of the pool. The campground itself has over a hundred camping spots. half with full hook ups for campers, and the other half for tent camping. Each site is spacious enough to not be right up against another campsite. There is fire pits and picnic tables at each site. You can get a camping site with electric which is very convenient when camping for several days. They have shower facilities and a laundry room. There is also a place to empty your camper refuse. all in all this campsite isn't one that is rugged and can be very busy at times, but it is a good one for a families with kids. I try to go once a year with my wife and kids because there is just so much to do.
TravelerWe stopped here on our way to Florida, extremely convenient to the 81/77 junction. The star of this show is the scenery - absolutely gorgeous, and their seriously out-of-date website doesn't do it justice. Surrounded on three sides by open fields full of cows and sheep, and awesome mountain views, this place couldn't have been any more peaceful. There's a pool but it was closed, and when I asked why the person working said, "no idea." That was the answer to a couple of questions - the person on wasn't the friendliest. We had to stay an extra night because of mechanical trouble, but we did laundry, walked around, just relaxed and watched the cows. Small store, ice and propane available. Full hook-ups. Some shade trees, close spaces but not packed too tightly overall. Lovely spot. Lost one star because the staff was meh.
LegendI was traveling in this area and was really excited to have found that there is a town called Austinville where Stephen F Austin, a founder of Texas, originated. While driving out to the monument in his honor I found this site and loved what I saw!
Highway access to this area is easy for all types of traveler. there are several stores in the area with just about anything you could need or want only moments away from camp and if you are there in late summer when I was, the sun rises are amazing!!!!
So what is the catch?? Well they don't accept tents!!! NOOOOOO!! I didn't find a single thing about that online when I checked their site following finding out this knowledge, however I did like this site enough to still give them a positive review because they were so nice, their facility was ample and their proximity itself.
In fact, they were so nice they gave me a tour of the campground even though I couldn't stay and gave me some great info about places around me which led me to another campground that served me perfect, a tent campground nearby.
This site has a very nice restroom with multiple sinks, a large laundry room perfect for a camper who is on the road for a while like myself. I noticed there was a very nice pool which is heated, allowing it to be open much longer than many campgrounds in the area. There is a large pet area and also playground and several hiking areas in the direct area which all looked nice.
Nearby are numerous state parks as a part of the New River Trail including the Shot Tower Historical Site which is a very short distance away. In addition, people often come here to watch the birds and deer, which are very relaxing.
Should I return with an RV I also inquired about the rates which are reasonable at $35 for standard hook ups and they do have weekly rates also. I did notice what appeared to be a few long term campers but their areas still looked kept and maintained.
TIPS:
GuideWe did an overnight stopover at the Wytheville KOA on our travels south and were very impressed with the campground. Easy exit off Rt 81, with several truck stops/gas stations at the exit to fill up. The roads are a bit hilly going into the campground, but we didn’t experience any issues.
Check-in was easy and the employees were very friendly. The grounds of the campground were well maintained and the sites were very level. It appeared that all the sites were pull through with the majority having cement patios, all of which made an overnight stop easy. Even though the sites were close together(not as close as most KOAs), they are situated so it doesn’t feel like you are on top of your neighbor.
The campground offered many amenities, but since our stay was a quick layover we did not have a chance to take advantage of them. While the sites were very nice, the highlight of this KOA is the internet! Out of all the campgrounds/RV parks we have travel to over the last few years, Wytheville had THE BEST wifi/internet we have experienced!
I would definitely include this KOA as a future stop on our travels.
Traveler
Nice campground. 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.
GuideFort Chiswell RV park in Virginia is a very clean park beautiful trees paved driveways and a bathroom that is very clean and at the end of the bathrooms actually have tables at Pavilion They have Wi-Fi they also have cable TV so that was nice to have the extras while camping we camped there for four days and it was very nice the people are extremely nice
TravelerWe thought we would try a different place for our mid-point stop to Myrtle Beach. It's a Good Sam park, clean bathrooms, small pool, no fire rings, close access to freeway. Alot of highway noise can be heard from the campground, even with the hilly grazing pasture for cows between the highway and campground.
Probably would stay here again for the one night, but not a whole weekend or holiday
RangerWe visited Pipestem State Park for the first time in Sept 2022. We arrived after dark and although we had great directions provided to our site, for a first timer to the park it was a little nerve racking maneuvering around the campground in the dark. The roads and sites are tight for a larger camper (ours is a 37’ TT). Electrical hookup is on the opposite side than the water and sewer, so make sure your cord is long enough or carry an extension cord (ours was site 14 full hookup). We only spent the weekend, but we’ve decided to come back in the summer and spend at least twice as much time since there’s so much to do. We rode the tram, did axe throwing, hiked, visited the nature center, and rode horses in our short time there. Definitely a beautiful park despite the smaller campsites.

John’s single site RV camp was exactly what we were looking for in our tiny camper for a late night arrival. The site was right next to the road, had electric, water & sewer hook-up and was easy no hassle camping. We can’t say enough about our host, John. John was so kind and accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. He even left us firewood and a hospitality box with water, snacks & fire-starters! The site is right in the middle of our adventures at Beckley Coal mine tour & rafting at New River Gorge! Vey Affordable, everything we needed and super nice host!
RangerNice campground, RIGHT ON THE RIVER. The spots not directly in the river ain’t but a stones throw away. The spots on the river are darn near in the river lol. It is really cool being that close to the river.
It’s right off the main road, no one should have any trouble getting back there and in their spot. The have a couple spots for big rigs, 5th wheels. $34 for full hook up isn’t bad.
I didn’t but there has to be some good fishin to be had there. Lots of current and they have some pictures posted of some pretty nice catches, though I didn’t pay to much attention to the dates of those pictures.
The office/store doesn’t have much. I can’t comment on the facilities. They are locked with a key pad and only available to campers without their own restroom, some covid policy stuff.
I just spent the night here passing though on my way home. I did make a reservation but there were many spots open. I believe a reservation is required but don’t quote me on that.
The sites are gravel, or at least the patio area is. It was raining off and on and was pretty muddy in spots. My camper isn’t very big so I put my passenger side wheels just on the edge of the gravel patio so my entry steps wouldn’t be in the mud and I was nearly level, side to side was good, only needed a small adjustment front to rear.
It’s down in a valley with mountains on either side. There is a train on the other side of the river. There were some geese and ducks congregating in the water near my camper at night, was pretty cool to see so many in one area.
There is a waterfall across the street and a nicer one just down the road. I have Verizon and had 4 bars cellular signal and was showing LTE but it was incredibly slow if it worked at all. I would visit again for sure.
