Brushcreek Falls RV Resort welcomes pets at its campsites, cabins, and RV hookups in Princeton, just minutes from Hatfield-McCoy trails. Camp Creek State Park maintains two pet-friendly campgrounds—Mash Fork with full hookups and Blue Jay with more rustic sites along a creek. Most sites at Mash Fork feature level paved pads with generous spacing and back up to a small babbling brook. The campgrounds enforce quiet hours which helps manage barking and ensures a peaceful environment for all campers. Both locations provide fire rings and picnic tables at pet-friendly sites, with Camp Creek offering firewood delivery directly to campsites. Campers report the bathhouses at both locations are exceptionally clean, with Camp Creek's featuring plenty of hooks and racks for toiletries.
Dog owners camping near Princeton have access to multiple hiking trails throughout Camp Creek's 6,000-acre park and forest system. The park features trails to two waterfalls—Mash Fork Falls accessible via an easy walk from the campground, and Campbell Falls which has a deep swimming pool at the bottom where dogs can cool off during summer months. The trails range from ADA-accessible short paths to more challenging routes with creek crossings and fallen logs to navigate. Brushcreek Falls provides a fishing pond where pets can accompany their owners, along with a playground and recreational areas nearby. The park's creek is stocked with trout in spring, making it popular for anglers with dogs. During winter months, Camp Creek State Park remains only 20 minutes from Winterplace Ski Resort, providing year-round recreational opportunities for campers with pets.

GuideNeed an overnight stay on 81/77 this is the place. Booked is call them complete the reservation via Campspot app which they use so I had to download it. Place had plenty of sites pull through which I didnt need but they were so accommodating. I had a perfect view of mountains and cow pasture Relaxation and sleep close to bathhouse and office. They also have propane fill for your camper
ScoutWe stayed in Site number 24 which is full hook ups, however, just about all of the sites number is one through 32 are less than desirable either very little room outside your camper or the back in sites are steep hard to level your camper and very little room to set a set of chairs out I would not camp in this area of the campground again.
ScoutFrom check in to our stay, large big rig drive through lot. Quiet and clean park. Even had pizza and delicious wings delivered right to our coach. Next time through we hope to stay again.
TravelerOn top of a mountain. Gorgeous afternoon and evening views but The fog is dense in the mornings, which comes with a lot of dew, but completely worth it for the afternoon view. No shade trees at our site, but they are large and offer fire rings and picnic tables. Direct access to the happy McCoy trails. We rented just down the street the side-by-side for a couple of days and had a fantastic time.
ScoutGreat campground, very nice, clean bath house. Park is easy to find
ScoutOwner is friendly, people staying here consist of workers and retired people for the most part so the people are very quiet, beautiful river running through the end of the campground and a nice little hiking trail and a wide open area for kids to run and play. Only “bad” part is the road noise you are about 200 yards off that highway and can here it all day and night! But if your like me and don’t mind you will love it here!
ScoutA quiet, well maintained campground. Adjacent to Hung Mother State Park with lake and trails. A great year round location.
GuideThis is a small campground but the sites are very spacious. Our site (6) backed up to the creek and trail. There is no power or water on this side of the campground, but there is a water spigot by the bathrooms. There is also a water hose for filling tanks by the dump station and trash dumpster. *Word of caution, bring your own water because it was yellow/brown while we were there. The bathrooms were clean, but on our last day there one of the toilets and the sink was clogged in the ladies room. There are two bathroom buildings at this site.
GuideWhat a great find! Private sites, nice walking areas, and great hosts. Top it off with clean bathrooms with great showers and this was a win for us. It may not be suitable for bigger rigs but for our 22’ van, it was perfect.
Camp Creek State Park offers 6,000 acres of wilderness terrain in the southern Appalachian Mountains near Princeton. The area sits at elevations between 1,900 and 2,500 feet, creating distinct seasonal camping conditions. Campers often encounter morning fog along creek valleys during spring and fall when temperature differences between day and night can exceed 30 degrees.
Hike challenging trails: At Camp Creek State Park Mash Fork, trails range from easy walks to more difficult routes. "The hiking is difficult in some areas but spectacularly beautiful," notes Julie B. The park features trails with creek crossings and fallen logs that require some navigation skills.
Visit multiple waterfalls: Beyond the two waterfalls mentioned in brochures, the area offers seasonal water features. "The waterfalls were very sparse when we were there so not sure about other times of the year," reports Lee D. Water levels vary dramatically throughout seasons, with spring typically offering the most impressive flows.
Fish stocked waters: Brushcreek Falls RV Resort provides fishing opportunities close to camp. "Noticed multiple people utilizing the fishing pond," notes Julie M. The resort maintains a stocked pond within walking distance of campsites, offering easier access than creek fishing.
Creek-side camping: At Blue Jay Campground, most sites are positioned directly alongside water. "Except of one, all other campsites are directly next to a beautiful creek. It was very calm and peaceful," writes Katrin M. The sound of running water provides natural white noise that helps mask other campground sounds.
Accessible waterfalls: Campbell Falls offers more than just views. "Campbell Falls is just down the road from the campground and there is access to many hiking trails," explains Lee D. The pool at the bottom of Campbell Falls remains cool even during summer heat waves.
Clean facilities: Pipestem Resort State Park Campground maintains well-kept bathhouses. "Showers were the best of any campground I've seen- water gets as hot as you'd like, with great water pressure and plenty of hooks and towel racks," according to Nicole M. These amenities make longer stays more comfortable.
Limited cell service: Cell coverage varies significantly between campgrounds. At Walnut Flats, "There is no internet access but there is enough signal you can get text sometimes. You need to drive about ten minutes to the gas station to get dependable coverage," reports Alice S.
Seasonal bathroom closures: Facilities may close during off-season periods. "Even though the campground is open year round, the bathrooms are not. We were told there was one open bathroom however it was not made clear this was 1-2 miles away," warns Jessica D. Always verify current bathroom availability when booking during shoulder seasons.
Wildlife encounters: Expect wildlife interactions, especially at night. "The raccoons at night have a schedule of getty any foods left out. Putting everything away is a must," advises Andrew S. Some campgrounds also report regular skunk activity that can disturb campers.
Kid-friendly recreation: Meador Campground offers paved roads ideal for beginners. "All the roads are paved making it easy for the little ones to ride bikes," mentions Michael. This creates a safe environment for children to explore independently.
Playground options: Facilities vary significantly between campgrounds. "Nice playgrounds clean lots 30 and 50 amp service as well as boondock sites," notes Fred R. Some playgrounds may need upgrades, so bring backup activities for children during extended stays.
Family safety considerations: Open water requires supervision. "The park features a lake with fishing & boating. You can rent a boat," explains Cynthia K. Parents should note that most swimming areas lack lifeguards, especially at falls and creek swimming holes.
Site selection guidance: Many campgrounds have uneven sites. "Watch the site descriptions for the incline. Site 44 is a large site, but the incline is severe, so appropriate for Class B or tents," advises Cynthia K. Larger RVs should request specific sites known to accommodate their length and leveling requirements.
Dog friendly campgrounds near Princeton: Most area campgrounds welcome pets but have specific rules. "We camped here over the weekend with our dogs. Each campsite has a fire pit and a lantern pole," shares Katrin M. Pet owners should note that while most campgrounds are pet-friendly, trail access for dogs may be limited in certain areas.
Firewood availability: Delivery service is available at some locations. "Firewood is available and they deliver it to your site. The bundles are quite generous in size," says Kevin E. This service saves valuable cargo space for RVers, especially during longer stays.
