      The Outpost at New River Gourge

      One of the best stays near New River!

      This campground provides an off the main road and in the woods experience. Tents have grassy spots and elevated platforms overlooking the area. There are several camper/RV spots along with cabins of various sizes. A calm creek runs through the property and within minutes of the New River National Park visitor center, downtown Fayetteville, and other adventure businesses.

      Army Camp — New River Gorge National Park and Preserve

      Great Boondocking Spots

      As others have reported, the 11 sites here are well maintained and spaced apart nicely. The road in is narrow and has a lot of low hanging limbs, so no big rigs here. It’s quiet apart from the sounds of the river and the bugs. Generators are allowed except for between 10p-6a. Verizon has no service here. Half the sites get decent exposure to charge the solar, the other half are mostly shade. The protected river bottom meant no breeze for the 5 nights we were here, so it remained hot and buggy. But overall it’s a great spot away from the madness. Most of the spots got filled every night during the week at the end of August with a lot of daily turnover, so arrive early.

      Army Camp — New River Gorge National Park and Preserve

      Well maintained and peaceful

      This was a quaint place to reset. Relaxing!

      We came late and all of the sites were occupied, but when you are in a camper van the large day use parking area was perfect!

      Pit toilets are clean! Not that we used them. No hookups of any kind.

      Short walk to the river and some well maintained picnic benches.

      Gatewood Park & Reservoir Campground

      beautiful...peaceful...clean

      Camped here Aug 7-11. What a great place; the hosts were fantastic and the people were very friendly. If craft beer is what you like there are four (Im sure there is more) interesting breweries within 30 miles. There are also trails to take if you are a jeepster like myself. I'm going back in Sept!

    Guide to Princeton

    Princeton, West Virginia offers four-season camping opportunities between 2,300-2,500 feet elevation. This Appalachian region features dramatic terrain changes with campgrounds positioned near water sources, forests, and mountain ridges. Winter camping isn't uncommon, with temperatures averaging 25-40°F between December and February and some facilities operating year-round.

    What to do

    Hiking trails for every skill level: At Little Beaver State Park Campground, multiple trail systems connect directly to campsites. The park features both paved and dirt paths with varying difficulty levels. "This place is fabulous. Sites with water and electric hookup 1-20. Spacious, private... walking trail system connected to camp sites... Beautiful trails. Scenic lake. Must see this little secret gem!" reports Todd S.

    Wildlife watching opportunities: The mountainous terrain provides excellent wildlife viewing. At Twin Falls Resort State Park Campground, abundant deer populate the area. "I had so many deer along the roadways that loved to pose for pictures," notes one camper. Spring and summer are prime seasons for spotting wildlife.

    Water recreation options: When water levels permit, Grandview Sandbar Campground offers direct river access. Located along the New River, it provides excellent fishing spots and sandy areas for relaxing. "Tent spots have the best access to and views of the river, which is glorious," writes Van M. The New River Gorge area features class II-V rapids depending on section and water level.

    What campers like

    Spacious, private sites: Many campers appreciate the roominess at certain campgrounds. At Little Beaver State Park, sites include water and electric hookups with good separation between neighbors. "Spacious, private... We had #9. Level... Cleanest bathrooms and showers I've seen. Cute little store for firewood... they bring to you. Daily trash pickup," notes Todd S.

    Off-grid relaxation: The limited connectivity is a selling point for many visitors to the Princeton area. Gatewood Park offers a true escape from technology. "A great out of the way location. A bit of a drive in but worth the travel... a great place to relax with no cell phone coverage or WiFi. Rent some kayaks and enjoy nature," says Dane R.

    Yurt accommodations: For those interested in yurt camping near Princeton, West Virginia, several options exist within driving distance. Hungry Mother State Park offers yurt rentals in their campground. "They have yurts in Camp Burson and Royal Oak," notes Jeff T. These structures provide a comfortable glamping experience with solid walls and sturdy construction.

    What you should know

    Remote locations require planning: Most campgrounds are situated away from major services. Twin Falls Resort State Park requires preparation as one camper notes: "The campsite is 30 minutes away from a Walmart or a grocery store."

    Weather considerations: The mountainous terrain creates weather variations. Spring brings flooding concerns at river campgrounds like Grandview Sandbar: "When there is a lot of rain there is definitely the chance it'll flood," warns Chaz M.

    Access challenges: Some campgrounds have difficult access roads. For Twin Falls Resort, a reviewer cautions, "Make sure your truck/vehicle towing is not underrated for what you're pulling as it is a lot of big uphill elevation and tons of windy roads and tight turns."

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds offer facilities specifically designed for families. Wytheville KOA provides numerous activities. "This campground is terrific! All the facilities are extremely well kept and clean... our kids loved the arcade, the wagon and train rides around the campground, the craft time, pool and the fishing!" reports Lisa T.

    Educational opportunities: Family camping can include learning experiences. At Twin Falls Resort State Park, the pioneer house provides historical context. "Very cool pioneer house with garden and rescue animals," notes Tom H.

    Swimming options: During summer months, many area campgrounds provide swimming areas. Twin Falls offers multiple options: "Great golf course, decent restaurant and resort rooms, outdoor and indoor pool, tennis/basketball courts," reports Tom H.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup availability varies: Check specific campground amenities before arrival. Fort Chiswell RV Park offers complete services. "Staff were friendly and sites include cable, electric, water, and sewer," reports Michael A. Most state parks offer only partial hookups.

    Leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in this mountainous region have uneven sites. At Little Beaver State Park, "Most 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," notes Adam and Suzanne B.

    Dump station locations: Not all campgrounds offer sewer hookups. Twin Falls Resort State Park has "a dump site available" according to Austin-Tarra G., though they caution "there was supposed to be community water at the campsite, but unfortunately it was turned off as we were there at the end of their camping season."
