Sand Springs Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Fishing, hiking, kayaking, and swimming all factor into a stay at Sand Springs Campground, a forested private campground outside Morgantown, West Virginia, where the surrounding terrain gives campers direct access to outdoor recreation without driving far. Sites are notably spacious, with one reviewer noting roughly 60 feet of separation between neighbors, and large rock fire rings at every site accommodate good-sized groups. The campground is within a short distance of Chestnut Ridge Regional Park, which has pond swimming and seasonal folk music, and Coopers Rock State Forest- McCollum Campground sits nearby for those wanting trails and a historic iron furnace.

The road in deserves attention. Access runs about three miles from the interstate on narrow roads, and multiple reviewers flag the approach as tricky, particularly for larger rigs backing into tree-lined sites. RVs up to 45 feet are accommodated with full hookups, water, and sewer, but tight maneuvering is a real factor. The gravel within the sites can also make leveling a challenge.

Weekends and holiday periods tend to fill up fast, especially football weekends given the campground's proximity to Morgantown. Off-season visits offer more solitude. Cell coverage runs decent to workable on AT&T and T-Mobile. As Jeffrey L. puts it: "Gets some crazy fog but lot of parks and trails close by." The bathrooms are older but consistently described as clean. Campers who want a forested base with full amenities and regional recreation close at hand will find Sand Springs worth a look.

Remote wilderness

Was a nice campground. Wish I would have picked a better spot. Was tricky backing in. Lots of tress. Was off season so felt like I had the place to myself. Gets some crazy fog but lot of parks and trails close by.

Quiet, Lots of trees

We only stayed one night, driving through. About 3 miles from the interstate, narrow roads. Big rigs probably hard to back in.

Pretty and Quiet Campground

This is a peaceful and overall well maintained campground. The front desk staff was friendly. They have an arcade, laundry facility and pool (was under renovation when I was there). The campground is a decent size if you want to go on a walk or short run. The only reason why I gave 4 stars is it was challenging to level because the big gravel rocks on the site. I would love to come back here in the future.

Nice Campground with Full Hookups

Nice campground next to Chestnut Ridge Park (great pond swimming & newt catch/release as well as summer folk music concerts on Sat when not COVID). Also 5 minutes from Coopers Rock (great lookout, awesome trails, old clay furnace- pictured).

Full Hookups, generous spots for larger RVs. Owners are very nice and helpful. Gets booked up for holiday & football weekends because of limited full h/u in area.

Camping Campground

If you’re looking for an old campground with new hookups in the middle of the woods this will be one of your favorite spots on Earth.

This is one of our favorite places on Earth. So to start they have an adorable little cabin at the front and really nice landscaping, this is the office where you will check in. The sites are very large considering most places we have been. From our site to the next camper was about 60ft. They have large rock campfire rings - like big enough for 10 people- at every site. They have nice new picnic tables and keep up on the landscaping. The spots were very easy to get into even with the giant beautiful trees everywhere.

There is an awesome kids playground towards the office, with a pool that is currently closed- likely because of COVID19.

The campground staff works every day to make sure the property is well taken care of. The staff is also very friendly and helpful!

The outside roads of the park if you walk them all is roughly one mile and it feels like you’re hiking on a gravel path through the woods- well because you are.

We had decent AT&T and ok TMobile/US Cellular service. It was enough to stream at night and work during the day.

They have an overnight section of pull through a, many back in spots, and many seasonal sites. They also have tent camping spots that are enormous. The bathrooms were old but clean and well maintained.

Lots of weekenders - weekends were fun!

We will be back- I hope a lot!
