Reservations are available at Wapocoma Campground, a privately run RV and tent campground along the South Branch Potomac River outside Romney, West Virginia, open from mid-April through the end of October. Sites run large by most campground standards, many of them grassy and level, with electric, water, and sewer hookups available for rigs up to 60 feet. The campground has a mix of seasonal residents and short-term visitors, which gives it a neighborhood feel that some campers appreciate and others find less rustic than state park alternatives.
River access is the main draw. Anglers report strong numbers on the South Branch, with catch counts of 40 to 50 fish a day mentioned more than once. Paddlers can put in upstream at Old Fields and float directly to camp. The gravel beach along the river frontage gives swimmers and tubers a natural launch point. JD L. notes that tent sites sit "about 100 feet from the river" and are "sheltered by tall trees," though tent pads are not assigned, so campers choose their own spots in the grass.
The bathhouse draws consistent praise for cleanliness across multiple reviews, and the campground provides WiFi, a dump station, and a playground. Quiet hours run strictly from 11pm to 8am. Campers should note the no-bully-breed pet policy before arriving. The town of Augusta is nearby for resupply runs. For a broader look at the region, camping near Romney includes nearby options such as Big Anchor Campground and Middle Ridge Campground. Book ahead for summer weekends, when river-facing sites fill quickly.
