Cannot recommend camping here enough!! Sites are well situated, and very private. Especially the walk up sites, they're the real gem. Every site has a picnic table and fire ring. Pit toilets are maintained, but towards the end of our trip there was no TP for the last two days. Prepare accordingly.
Easy access to awesome day hikes, and a quick walk to the lake, where the stargazing is top notch.
Be prepared to navigate without service, and take it slow on the back roads, they're fairly rough.
Originally we booked a "creekside" campsite. Which was especially disappointing, as it was a tiny gravel lot, hardly big enough for two small tents, a picnic table, and to park our car. Luckily we were able to switch to the tent only area due to some cancellations.
The tent only areas are okay, but the campground overall is meant for RV's and campers. Tent folks are better off elsewhere. There wasn't much to redeem it, except the nice shower houses and the helpful staff.
Saltfork is located about 45 minutes from my house, and makes for the perfect overnight trip.
There are tons of things to do, and lots of space in which to do them. My favorites includes hiking trails, and the lakeside dog park.
I stay in the primitive camping, it allows for more privacy and quiet. Although it also means you are relegated to the pit toilets. I personally don't mind them, but I know some campers will make the drive to the nicer shower house in the RV heavy side of the park.
Each site has a picnic table and fire ring, the fire rings in the primitive section need some work, as the grates are very old and small.
Not a huge campground, but as a result it was very quiet.
Some sites are small and very sloped. Others have lots of room to spread out. Highly recommend the one we booked! Very clean pit toilets and the campground overall was well maintained. Fire pits have a nice grate to flip over and cook on (this varied highly bw Ohio campgrounds).
Nice hiking trails and the lake is nice. Lots of geese and the expected goose poop. Plenty of solitude.
Overall this is a pretty spot to relax and enjoy some time outdoors.
This is one of my absolute favorite places in WV to camp. It is quiet and the campground is not too large, it's not stuffed with RV's and screaming children. The sites are reasonably sized, and well spaced. Each has a fire ring and picnic table. The camp store has firewood and helpful rangers.
The park overall is absolutely gorgeous. There's something to do for people of any activity level. Nearby towns of Davis and Thomas are so lovely and have charm out the wazoo.
Keep in mind, anytime after mid September can be quite cold overnight. But the foliage is totally worth it! Make sure you visit Pendleton Point for a great vista, my husband and I were married there.
Wolf Run is a nice-ish camp ground. If you're just looking to chill at your campsite, it'll do. If you camp with the goal of hiking and swimming, I would look elsewhere.
The state park really doesn't have a ton to offer in ways of entertainment. The swimming beach is small and in direct view of a road that runs nearby, it's nothing to write home about. The hiking trails are not well maintained, and there are really only two.
The campground is passable. The initial site we booked for Memorial Day Weekend was super muddy, very small, and did not have a picnic table. I was able to switch to a different site fairly quickly over the phone. The site we moved to was bigger and slightly more secluded. Sadly our fire ring was a safety hazard as it was riddled with holes at the bottom. It also had a very small grate for cooking, meaning we had to build the fire up against the side of the ring in order to cook. The majority of people who camp here are using generators, so it can get a little loud in some of the loops at times.
I will note that it is possible that the campground would have received some updates before opening for the season if COVID had not hit.
