Lovely State Park
We picked this state park for a week long stay while we were in the area exploring the New River Gorge National Park. Since we were traveling in the summer and brought our dogs along, we needed a spot where we could leave our doggos in a safe and air conditioned space while we explored. We stayed in cabin 14 which is one of two Vacation Cabins. It had four bedrooms and two full baths along with a nice living/dining area and kitchen. There was also a lovely covered front porch as well as a simple charcoal standup campground grill and picnic table in the yard. The cabin was incredibly clean and well maintained.
The grounds are also quite large and lovely. The staff are also friendly and attentive. We enjoyed several of the hiking trails and other features like the historic Grist Mill. There were many other amenities that we did not utilize but were well kept. There was a playground, group picnic area, tennis courts and a-plethora of other lodging options. From tent sites to RV hookups and other types of cabins varying in luxury. The campground also has a coin operated laundry facility that we used during our stay.
For some reason I totally forgot to take pictures of the actual cabin! OOPS!

Great location for exploring new river gorge area
We stayed two nights. The site was steep to get up to the more level portion (which was only level for my camper because it’s so small). Someone had left a bag of dog poop in the fire pit. The bathrooms were clean, although the drainage for the showers wasn’t working right and would flood. Overall it was great, quiet, and staff was very helpful.

Close to New River Gorge
Spent 3 nights in Site #49 with 30amp electric. We were across the road from the main/original (?) campground that houses the bathhouse. Sites were very close, but it wasn’t too crowded based on the time of year we’re stayed. All in all, the old Grist Mill area is definitely worth a visit to see an operational 19th century grist mill. And, New River Gorge north area is close by.
