Accessible by a quarter-mile gravel road through wooded terrain, Rays Campground sits on private land near Hico, West Virginia. The campground operates on a simple system where visitors pull in, pay the owner, and select from available sites. Rates range from $9-34 per night, with reservations available for those who prefer to plan ahead.
Most sites remain primitive, though a few offer electric hookups for RVs requiring power. The wooded property provides spacious sites with mowed grass areas, and many spots offer enough seclusion that campers report not seeing neighbors from their site. A clean shower house provides hot water and restrooms, while a laundry facility and playground serve families with additional needs.
The campground maintains a quiet atmosphere that appeals to rock climbers and kayakers using it as a base for New River Gorge activities. Tyler H. notes the facility has a "clean shower house and hot water and the owners were extremely friendly." A friendly campground dog roams the property, and the pet-friendly policy allows well-behaved dogs off-leash in appropriate areas.
Both AT&T and Sprint provide cell service on the property. Sites typically fill by evening, though cabin rentals offer another accommodation option for visitors.
