Babcock State Park is right in that area. Smaller campground, so get a reservation in early:


Camping
Babcock State Park’s 52-unit campground has 28 sites with electric hookups and 24 non-electric sites. The campground has a central bathhouse with coin-operated washers and dryers, two water fill-up stations, and two sewage dump facilities. Wifi is also available and cell phone service is available from most major cell phone companies. If you are looking to bring a group, Babcock offers a group tent camping area that can accommodate up to 20 tents and features a covered shelter with nine picnic tables, electric and a covered stone fireplace. The campground is open mid-April through late October, weather permitting. Half of the campsites at Babcock are available for reservations, while the remainder are rented on a first come, first served basis. Reservations begin the Friday before Memorial Day and end Labor Day, but make sure to plan in advance because spaces are sure to book up fast!

West Virginia State Park campgrounds reservations are available from Memorial Day through Labor Day each year. Campgrounds are open on a first-come, first-serve basis through October 31.

While I've never found the Babcock campgrounds full, I am usually there at the corner seasons. If you go, be sure to drive over to the Glade Creek Grist Mill:

Mountain Lakes Campground is listed as being in Summersville WV. It is not far from the New River Gorge area. You can make reservations online. The campground is well cared for,but most sites do not have sewer hook ups. Babcock State park is not easy to get to, there used to be a camper length restriction because the sites are small. Mountain Lakes is closer than Pipestem to the New River Gorge area. Some of the white water rafting companies have camping areas for RVs. they are in the Fayetteville area. That is the heart of the Gorge.

Piepstem Resort State park is fantastic. They have everything,

Hi - we just stayed at Beckley in September - nice little CG - bath house pretty dated, but sites are FHU. Would certainly stay there again! Not far from New River Gorge - did 2 day trips to various parts. Coal exhibit very interesting, too. GREAT fudge in the gift shop!!! ST

At Allstays.com they list three in nearby Beckley, WV.

Of those listed, I would choose Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine Campground to stay for more than one night.
