Saint Albans Roadside Park

10 Reviews

Saint Albans Roadside Park, near St. Albans, West Virginia, is a straightforward spot for RV camping, especially if you're just passing through. With three designated sites, each equipped with electric hookups and picnic tables, it’s a practical choice for a quick overnight stay.

This park is right next to the Kanawha River, making it a nice place to relax and enjoy the view. Visitors have mentioned the convenience of being close to a grocery store and other amenities across the street, which is a big plus for resupplying. There’s also a playground nearby, perfect for kids to burn off some energy.

While the park is right off a busy road, which can bring some noise, many campers appreciate the free electric hookups and the nearby boat ramp for those looking to hit the water. As one reviewer noted, “For free electric hookup, it’s worth it.” Just keep in mind that this spot is best suited for RVs and trailers, as tent camping isn’t allowed. If you’re looking for a quick stop with essential amenities, Saint Albans Roadside Park fits the bill.

Decent for passing through

Spent one night here, easy to pull in to and plenty of light overnight. Directly across from a grocery store, pet store, and auto supply store so great resupply stop! And free electric! Clean playground also.

Riverside and roadside

The St. Albans roadside park is for pull behind campers only. No tents allowed. About 6-7 sites for campers. You are literally about 20 yards from the main road, which is the only negative thing with road noise. On the other side is the kanawha river. Each site has a fire pit and electric/water hookups. There are two shelters at the park with chimneys for cooking. There is a fenced in playground that is very nice. If you're a boater there is a boat slip a hundred yards away to get onto the kanawha river. There are plenty of food choices and a grocery store located on the other side of the main road.

Free!

Loud road noise, but for free electric hookup, it’s worth it.

Free Free

I don’t have a lot to add to the other reviews, yes, it’s very close to a roadway and train tracks, but it’s free!

Near boat ramp

So I came to this campground because it’s free. I arrived and found the dump station and filled my water tank with potable water, when I moved onto the three spots available (only one was taken) I read the sign that clearly says only RV’s and Trailers allowed and all other will be towed at owners expense. well I have an all white converted sprinter and from the outside it just looks like a working van. Although I can prove that my van is an RV I didn’t feel like waking up in the middle of the night on a moving van that is being towed, sooo just in case I left and drive 20 min to Cabelas.

Free RV Camping-Port of Saint Albans

It's rare to find free RV camping, especially sites with 30 AMP electric hook-ups! The City of Saint Albans has a roadside park with three RV sites where you can camp for 2-days max in a 14-day period. The sites are first-come, first-serve, with donations encouraged. Sorry, no tent camping....

Each RV site has electricity, a picnic table, and a trash can. There's a sewer dump site nearby with drinking water available. The public park restrooms offer flush toilets, but no showers. There's a nice picnic shelter and a huge playground with some handicap-accessible swings. A shopping center is directly across the street with a grocery store and other amenities.

This park also has a public boat ramp which is part of the Port of St. Albans. The ramp gives you direct access to the Kanawha River which is primarily used by coal barges, speed boats and vintage paddle wheelers. For kayakers like me, you should bare left at the bottom of the ramp and head toward the Coal River where you can enjoy a nice, peaceful paddle without the fear of being swamped or crushed. BTW, St. Albans is home to the annual Yak Fest, mid-June, where participants in the Tour de Coal gather to enjoy live music and local eats after a 12-mile float.

A little historic trivia. George Washington owned 2,000 acres in the Kanawha Valley, including what is now the City of Saint Albans.

The main drawback to this roadside park is that it's butted up to MacCorkle Avenue, which is a busy roadway, so I'd describe this as urban RV camping. On the plus side, you're 15-minutes from the capital city of Charleston, WV, which is worth a visit to see the beautiful gold-domed capitol and WV State Museum.

Very small

It has 3 spots for RV's. No tent camping spots but right beside a park for kids and right on the river. If you have a boat you can use the boat access. There is a grocery store directly across the road along with several gas stations.
