Pappy's Creekside Camp

Accessible by drive-in, hike-in, or walk-in options, Pappy's Creekside Camp sits adjacent to the East Lynn outlaw trails in West Virginia's mountainous terrain. This private campground charges $20-$50 per night and accepts reservations, with full hookups available for RVs and ample space for tent camping. The facility provides standard amenities including restrooms, showers, drinking water, a dump station, and WiFi access.

The campground connects directly to off-road vehicle trails, though Connie C. notes that "trails are not marked so you really can't go out on your own." Local riding groups frequently organize trail excursions for visitors. Creek access provides cooling opportunities during warmer months, with one reviewer mentioning that "kids love the creeks on hot days they have so much fun." The owners maintain an on-site presence and offer vehicle parking with security monitoring.

Campers report a community atmosphere during events, including Memorial Day and Fourth of July celebrations featuring pig roasts and live music. However, facility conditions receive mixed reviews, with some guests praising the hospitality while others cite cleanliness concerns in rental cabins and bathhouses. For additional camping options in the region, visitors can explore camping near Dunlow.

Book ahead during peak riding season and holiday weekends when group events draw larger crowds to the property.

Visitors often highlighted the welcoming owners and family-friendly creek activities. However, cabin cleanliness and basic facility maintenance received significant complaints, while tent camping appears more satisfactory.

Absolute Terrible Experience

I would give it a zero if possible. The cabin we stayed in was absolutely filthy-dirt and dead bugs on the floor, coffee pot was nasty, extremely small counter was dirty, no access to running water(no even a sink in the bathhouse) and I could go on but I think you get the point. The bathhouse looked like a shed and was also dirty. Were told there were groups going out every weekend, all day long and also night riding. Trails are not marked so you really can't go out on your own. We paid for 3 nights, but only stayed for 2. And of course, we were never offered a refund or partial refund. Like Share

Family oriented riders paradise

We have stayed at Pappys multiple times this year and each time is better than the last. We tent camp and always have plenty of room. Campground is located right next to the East Lynn outlaw trails. The owner and staff very friendly and even set us up with a local group to show us around. They also offer parking and you don’t have to worry about any one messing with your stuff because there is alway some one there! Just an absolutely awesome place for kids and adults.

Almost like home

The couple that run this campground are awesome! They made me feel like I grew up there and was back to visit old friends. The Memorial Day celebration pig roast with live music and even a huge fireworks display were amazing. I'm planning on returning for the 4th of July celebration pig roast. Thanks guys.
