Best RV Parks & Resorts near Ravenswood, WV

270 Reviews

RV parks near Ravenswood provide hookup options for various vehicle sizes across Wood and Jackson counties. Blue Heron Landing in Cottageville offers electric, water, and sewer hookups for RVs with trash service and picnic tables at each site. Rippling Waters Church of God Campgrounds in Kenna features 50 sites with full hookups including 30-amp and 50-amp electric options. "The campground was very quiet and peaceful. We had a pull thru site by the lake, it had to be about 100 yards long and nicely graveled," noted one visitor about Rippling Waters. Robert Newlon Airpark RV Park in Huntington accommodates big rigs with 50 sites offering full hookups, while Blennerhassett RV Park in Belpre has sewer and water connections with 50-amp service on sites suitable for larger vehicles.

Most RV parks in the region operate seasonally, with some like Rippling Waters open year-round. Saint Albans Roadside Park provides three free RV sites with 30-amp electric hookups (two-day maximum stay in any 14-day period), though these spots fill quickly. Cell service varies significantly across the area—Burr Oak Cove Campground shows good Verizon reception but limited 4G capabilities. Dump stations are available at several parks, including Robert Newlon Airpark and Saint Albans. Many campgrounds feature sloped parking pads that can challenge RV leveling. One camper at Lake Hope noted, "Camp sites are very small and very unlevel, had to raise back of camper and put front about a 1/4 inch off ground to get close to level." Most parks welcome pets and offer trash service, with a few providing laundry facilities.

    Burr Oak Cove Campground

    Nice little campsite

    Cool little campground. First come first served with no reservations accepted. The sites are clean with picnic tables and fire rings and can accommodate small RVs. There are a couple of vault style outhouses, dump stations and a couple of water stations as well. No electric or water hookups, though. Came on a Thursday and there were only two sites occupied so it was nice and quiet even though there is a bit of road noise from the nearby roads. There’s also an easy 1 mile trail down to Burr Cove proper. The sites are $15 ($10 in the off season when the water is turned off) and you pay at an honor box at the entrance once you pick your spot.

    Carthage Gap

    A real slice of American camping

    This is a fantastic camp ground, the owners Chris and Teresa are fantastic people and the grounds are just majestic. Sitting above two fishing lakes, one you can swim in during the summer the campground is peaceful and tranquil and next to some amazing woodland.

    The camping ground caters all campers and rv’s and has full sewer hook up and water. Wash houses with showers, toilets and washing machine and dryer is available. You can have firewood delivered daily, you propane refilled and Chris and Teresa are always there to help you. this is on top of the events pavilion where something is always on. A basket ball court and two playgrounds make this ideal for family’s. On season event calendar includes archery clinics and annual hog roast and more.

    the grounds are 30 minutes away from the Wayne national forest and Athens and parkersburg. The beautiful Marietta and hocking valley hills sit an hour away. Simply breathtaking

    Burr Oak Cove Campground

    Great place to camp, unleveled pads

    This is our second trip to Burr Oak Cove and it continues to be a great place to camp for the weekend. Very family friendly with spacious sites (especially if you can get two next to each other). 

    Rangers are kind and informative and the facilities are well kept. There are nice leveled pads at most sites for tents; however, if you are brining a trailer or RV it can be a challenge to level them as the parking pads are sloped. 

    Att cell reception was at 2 bars of LTE as well making remote work possible.

    River Run Campground — North Bend State Park

    Hikers' Heaven

    North Bend State Park is located at the halfway point of the 72-mile North Bend Rail Trail, so it’s a great camping spot for hikers, bikers and horseback riders who want to explore this scenic trail which crosses 35-bridges and cuts through 11-tunnels where the B&O Railroad used to travel. 

    I highly recommend this trail to hikers because the scenery is spectacular, the wildlife plentiful, and the tunnels are really cool. The trail passes through some quaint towns such as the former oil boom-town of Cairo where many of the buildings from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s are still standing. 

    North Bend State Park has a year-round lodge, year-round cabins and two campgrounds open from mid-April to mid-November. 

    The Cokeley Campground has 28-sites with both water and electricity, picnic tables and fire pits. The bathhouse includes a small coin-op laundry. It’s close to the boat dock at North Bend Lake. I didn’t select this campground because it doesn’t have much shade.

    I stayed at the River Run Campground which has 49-sites along the shores of the North Fork of the Hughes River with electric and non-electric sites to choose from. Four sites are ADA accessible. Each site has paved parking, a picnic table and fire pit. The bathhouse was clean and nicely tiled with hand soap and paper towels provided. The on-site staff was extremely friendly and you get a generous wheelbarrow full of firewood, cut from local downed trees, for$5. 

    The lodge looked a little dated, but had a good home-style restaurant which was popular with travelers. The year-round cabins have been updated with ADA wheelchair ramps and wraparound decks. I may return and rent one after the campground closes so I can do some cross- country skiing on the North Bend Rail Trail this winter.

    I paddled on the North Bend Lake which was extremely peaceful and beautiful, with the colors of fall surrounding me on all sides. I brought my own kayak, but they had boats for rent. There were several fishermen on the water and on the lakeside dock. They told me they catch bass and catfish at this 300-acre lake. The trail around the lake would be good for birders because I spotted ducks, hawks and wood-peckers.

    North Bend State Park would be good for kids because they have playgrounds, mini-golf and an outdoor swimming pool(closed when I visited in October, but looked really nice).

    Cokeley Campground — North Bend State Park

    A note to RVers...

    There are two campgrounds in North Bend State Park…one is Cokely and the other is River Run. Neither are easy to get to when you have a big rig! We picked Cokely Campground as it has 50 amp power and water hook-ups It’s a good thing too as we now know that getting to River Run would have been very, very tricky! Reservations are not accepted at Cokely but you can call the morning of your intended arrival to see if there is availability.

    Mountwood Park Family Campground(Wood County Park)

    Know Before You Go

    As with any trip, do your research, read your reviews, peruse Google Satellite maps and talk to locals when you can.

    Mountwood County Park http://www.mountwoodpark.org/about.html is located about 15 minutes east of Parkersburg on Rt 50. Heading east on Rt 50 from Parkersburg, WV you will arrive at Mountwood County Park on the right...but the campground portion is a mile further east on the left side of the road. Both are marked by road signage...but most would assume they are all in one location.

    If you bring your quads, dirt bikes or mountain bikes with you when you camp, then Mountwood County Park is for you. Right off the back of Mountwood are plenty of ATV trails to keep you busy during your stay. If bombing mountain bike trails is your thing, then across the highway from the campground is your dream. If relaxing in a serene mountain or river valley campground atmosphere is what you desire...keep driving east on Rt 50 another 20 minutes to North Bend State Park.

    The primitive tent sites ($20 nightly) are less than desirable and more of an afterthought...and I'm being gracious. There is patchy tall grass, dirt and rocks with no leveled areas. And you have to wander a distance to the restroom/showerhouse when needed. You can rent the tiny cabins ($40 nightly) up on the top of the hill if you desire. They were rented and filled during my visit, surrounded with trailers filled with quads (not a bad thing, just not what I was expecting). One of the main ATV offroad trail entrances is a hundred yards or so past the primitive tent sites so anticipate traffic and some noise. There were a few electric/water sites available for RV/Campers but the majority of them were filled.

    It does appear that that there are several "long term campers" at numerous sites, as wooden steps and decks are built and attached to the campers. I would not describe the campground as neat and tidy, but fills a need.

    The other portion of the county park lies across Rt 50 about 1/2 mile east. This is where you will find a nice 50 acre lake...shaped like a "T" on its side... for short paddles or fishing (no swimming permitted), a solid collection of varied ability MTB trails and a cool, little local WV Oil history museum. Being a bit of a history buff, I was fascinated by the museum...how the local town was created during the oil boon and then destroyed by fire...of an enormous wilderness mansion that sat where the campground now sits. Interesting stuff.

    There is a nice dog park if you brought your pooch. Several picnic areas with picnic shelters, playgrounds, and decent shared hiking trails.

    As stated, if your main purpose is to MTB or ATV, then you might be contented with Mountwood County Park Campground. As county parks go, Mountwood County Park, itself, is nice and has a lot to offer. If quiet camping is your objective, I would recommend NorthBend State Park just down the road a piece.

    Rippling Waters Church of God Campgrounds

    Very quiet

    The campground was very quiet and peaceful. My 25 year old son was the youngest person there, except for 2 hours when 1 year old came to visit his grandparents. Most of the campers are there long term and were gone for the time we were there. We only saw people in about 10 of the campsites. The grass was beautifully cut and maintained. We had a pull thru site by the lake, it had to be about 100 yards long and nicely graveled. There are three small bathrooms around the grounds, that are single use rooms (sink, toilet and shower) one for women and one for men. If someone was using shower, no one else could use bathroom. They were clean but it seems they don’t get used very often by the long term campers. They were VERY musty. My wife would not go in them. The big multiple use bathroom by the entrance was much better and air was fresher. The office people were very nice and drove a golf cart to show us where our campsite was. We would stay there again, but still confused why there were so many trailers and so few people.

    Krodel Park Campground

    Krondel campground

    There seem to be many long term RVs here. Sites are very close together but have power, water and sewer. It was quiet the night we stayed. Nice lake and splash pool for the kids. Paved 1 mile path around the lake. Older showers/toilets could use some updating. Decent Mexican restaurant in nearby town.

    Huntington / Fox Fire KOA

    Party Central

    We enjoyed our stay at Huntington/Fox Fire KOA! This is a holiday KOA that offers more amenities for vacationers. It has very close proximity to I-64 in West Virginia, and you can hear the traffic pretty clearly.

    The staff is wonderful, they obviously care very much about their jobs and we enjoyed talking to them. They keep the property very clean which is saying a lot because it’s a very busy park. Each day we watched the park nearly empty and by sundown it was mostly full again. On the weekends it was full to capacity, and it’s occupants were out enjoying their time!

    There is: great cellular for TMobile and AT&T, laundry, dog walk area, storage, cabins, a store, a swimming pond, small beach area, and some sites have fire pits. The picnic tables were pretty dated.

    The hookups are a little strange. You share pedestals in many of the sites. And the arrangement is a little strange but it works.

Guide to Ravenswood

Camping options near Ravenswood, West Virginia include a mix of riverfront properties and wooded retreats across Jackson and Wood counties. The region features elevations ranging from 582 to 1,020 feet with moderate temperature fluctuations between seasons. Most campgrounds provide gravel pads with varying degrees of levelness, which can impact setup time and comfort, especially during spring rainy periods when drainage becomes a consideration.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: The Ohio River and smaller waterways provide excellent angling locations. Riversedge Campground offers tent sites directly on the water. "We enjoyed them by our fire as we watched the mist gently float over the water. They also rent kayaks and canoes so if you have time take a trip down the river," notes Eric S.

Visit local towns: Several campgrounds are conveniently located near small towns with historical sites. Ashland RV Park puts you "very close to the nice little downtown Marietta, Ohio but still very rural location," according to James P., making day trips simple.

Chapel visits: Religious travelers can find spiritual respite at church-affiliated campgrounds. "The chapel is open all the time for prayer and is a beautiful walk," reports Larry about his stay at Rippling Waters Church of God Campgrounds, noting it creates "incredible" photography opportunities.

What campers like

Riverside locations: Many campers appreciate waterfront sites with natural ambiance. At Riversedge Campground, "We stayed at one of the riverside tent sites. It was beautiful!!! The sites are well maintained & the bathrooms are clean," writes Salena.

Generous site dimensions: Several campgrounds offer spacious sites that accommodate larger setups. Visitors to Rippling Waters Church of God Campgrounds mention the exceptional space: "We had a pull thru site by the lake, it had to be about 100 yards long and nicely graveled."

On-site dining options: Some RV sites near Ravenswood feature unexpected food amenities. Jason G. reports that Robert Newlon Airpark RV Park has "a great bar and restaurant which was perfect after a long day on the road."

What you should know

Train noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience railroad disruptions. At Robert Newlon Airpark RV Park, Cheryl T. notes "the only real problem comes with the train tracks right here. The trains are close and do blow their whistle for crossing by the office."

Limited Wi-Fi and cell coverage: Connectivity varies significantly by location. Larry mentions at Rippling Waters, "There is no Wi-Fi or cable and the cell signal with Verizon was one bar at best."

Water quality issues: Some campers report varying water conditions. "Water had a strong odor of chlorine. After showers I felt like I was just getting out of a pool," notes a visitor at Rippling Waters, suggesting campers might "want a filter besides the typical blue filters."

Tips for camping with families

Playground accessibility: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas for children. Saint Albans Roadside Park features "a fenced in playground that is very nice," according to Andrew S., providing contained recreation space.

Seasonal population demographics: Some campgrounds have primarily older seasonal residents. Doug observed at Rippling Waters: "My 25 year old son was the youngest person there, except for 2 hours when 1 year old came to visit his grandparents."

Supply proximity: Convenience to stores helps with family camping. Saint Albans has advantages for resupply as Mike notes: "Directly across from a grocery store, pet store, and auto supply store so great resupply stop!"

Tips from RVers

Cost-saving opportunities: Free or low-cost camping exists in the region. Harris RV Park provides exceptional value as Clean Slate D. notes: "We're right on the Ohio River with full hookup for $25 a night?! Full hookup alone is worth more than 25 bucks."

Limited stay duration: Some affordable camping options have strict time limits. Andrea W. explains that Saint Albans offers "Free electricity (30 amp). 3 spots available, first come first serve, no reservation. 2 nights max."

Unique camping environments: Several RV sites near Ravenswood, West Virginia offer unusual amenities. "This is one of the more unique campgrounds we have stayed. The park is located on a local airstrip with parachutists, apparently jumping on Sundays," notes Jason G. about Robert Newlon Airpark.
