  • We have camped at several campgrounds in WV. Caanan Valley State Park is in the north. Very nice. We have also stayed at Trout Pond which is Forest Service campground. Very nice in the northeast area. Burnsville Lake and Sutton Lake are in the central part of the state and run by the COE.Somone mentioned Pipestem. That is probably one of the nicest state parks in the country.There is so much to do there. Tennis,golf,mini golf,horseback riding,nature walks,swimming pools etc.

    We've been to the Smokies twice this year staying at Riverbend Campground and Camp Riverslanding. We love the Smokies but there is nothing like Camping in all parts of WV. In the north we love Stonewall Jackson, it is by far the nicest campground with large sites, full hook ups, and quiet. There is all kinds of amenities at the resort. Nearby Weston is home to the old Allegheny Lunatic Asylum where you can take tours. You are also close to Elkins, Buchannon, Fairmont, & Morgantown.


    We stayed at Stonewall Jackson a couple of years ago and loved it!

    Not trying to steal you from West by God Virginia - but - there is a lot to do in the area so I would not limit yourself to WV.
