1 of my favorite West Virginia camp sites

Usually not alot of people there. Nice primitive camping. Vault toilet. Close to Buffalo lake. No cell service. Different size spots some big enough for rv's.

Primitive

Tents will be on very coarse gravel. Fire pits haven't been cleaned up in a while, some sites have ash all over. Road noise is an issue. But, it is cheap. Some sites are level. Pit toilet was stocked and clean. Good location next to stream and trail, Locust Springs right up the road.

Decent

Island campground is okay. They only have 1 drive in campsite next to the creek but it was by far the nicest. Luckily we were the only people there and were able to grab it that day. There were 2-3 other campsites that would be decent (being flat and good setup between the picnic table and fire pit). The other sites were not the most level and hardly had any room/flat areas. Only enough flat area for the picnic table and fire ring. There were about 4 walk in campsites. 2 that were probably about 60ft from the parking area. One of those was next to 2 streams and they seemed nice and level with plenty of room. The other 2 were up a little incline and you had to go through one to get to the other. It did have a clean vault toilet that was stocked with tp. No water though. There were only 2 other campers there so not crowded. I guess it depends which site you get.
