    Hook Lake (Campground A) — Jesse Owens State Park

    Can’t wait to come back!!!

    Beautiful campground with fire pit and table. Our site was big enough for 3 6 person tents but most sites are smaller and fit 1-2 4 person tents.

    Good trails to hike and wonderful scenery. No cell reception unless you have satellite.

    The raccoons were a little to close for comfort in the evening make sure you lock your food and trash in your car at night.

    Blennerhassett RV Park

    Friendly campground

    The owner was great. I called when I was on my way, he gave me a space number, and I was able to go straight to it. Weekly and monthly pricing is great too.

    Baileys Trail Tent Camping

    Peaceful Stay

    Wonderful little location. We drove for about 3 hours to get from where we are. Nice wide open space surrounded by woods. There were other campers but very friendly and had plenty of space to ourselves. Very nice bathroom/shower compared to what we expected. Will visit again.

    Kinderhook Horse Trail

    Nice Site, Not Private

    The site itself is quite nice, with access to toilets and picnic tables. However, it also seems to be a spot locals visit quite a bit. I’ve had two cars drive in after sunset who have just sat around for a bit then left. I would not recommend this site if you are traveling solo (Like I am).

    Camp Creek State Park Campground

    Very Nice State Park

    Camp Creek State Park West Virginia.

     This was a drive through, we didn't camp here. This State Park is only 2 miles from I- 77! Exit 20. 

    This is a hiking park & also has horse trails.

     We stopped at the office for a map & the lady at the desk was very nice & friendly.

    There are a lot of nice picnic areas too.

    Two very nice waterfalls. The first waterfall is on a road right by the modern campground so of course we had to visit. 

    9 electric sites.

    9 full hookup. 

    8 water& electric.

    A nice looking bath house.

     I liked the sites that were by a creek- 8/9/10/13/14/15/16/18. 12 is a pull thru. These sites have a paved pad & the whole campground looked nicely kept. All the sites looked flat. There's a dump station on the road out of the park.

     Blue Jay Campground is primitive camping along a creek. 12 sites. They looked very nice. There's pit toilets. This campground is on the road to the 2nd waterfall. There's parking by the gate. 

    Further down from Blue Jay is a locked gate. Beyond the gate is the Double C horsemans camp. You have to register at the office & they'll give you a key. 

    I really liked the modern campground. If we ever travel this way again I would stop here. There's no interstate noise in the campground.

    Wolf Run State Park Campground

    Great chill time

    This is a smaller, older campground. We were in the non electric site area. It was pretty quiet, a great place to chill. The showers are older but well kept up. No bugs, we even watch them broom the outside windows and doors knocking down all webs.Nice shower head, good pressure. There are only vault toilets, but not bad , they pressure washed really well. Has dump station and plenty potable water stations. Good canoe and kayak lake. Part of buckeye trail on one side of lake. Has a playarea for kids with basketball court.

    Burr Oak State Park Campground

    Good time with friends staying at lodge

    Very hot outside so aware that many sites do not have shade. Camp store people friendly, made a site change for us. The store has some basics but they were out of ice. The lodge is on the other side of the lake so about 10 minutes away. Going to rent a pontoon boat today and check out the beach, as well. In the 90’s so very few spots taken!

    Forked Run State Park Campground

    Decent campground, dated park and facilities

    Was a great spot while we were passing through and needed a place for the night.

    There was not manny people there, Sites are small back in, we stayed in loop two site 69 with great shade and electric. Toilets are vault style and very old so you can imagine it’s hard to clean/keep clean.

    I do like they have water fountains with faucets every 10-15 sites. As well as grey water dump stations about the same spacing but stagers with the filling.

    Showers were clean but only central and shared between all loops.

    We drove through loop 1 on our way out and it looked to be kept up better and cleaner.

    The lake was nice but I am not sure if they recently had some weather that caused it to be pretty brown/muddy, or if that’s normal.

    Camp store wasn’t open yet for the season no other staff was Seen except one guy cleaning on loop A

    Krodel Park Campground

    Very hard time finding site

    Pulled in late at night around 9pm, map was slightly confusing and our site number was facing the opposite direction of what you would think. The sites are very tight and hard to pull into, but thankfully someone came out and noticed us having trouble and helped us pull in.

    There also was a wasp nest inside the electric box. Cash only or check is also a bit inconvenient and archaic in 2025.

    But in the morning after the rain, it was a much prettier and the campground and lake really was beautiful.
