West Virginia state parks

I may regret asking this but how do you make camping reservations at the state parks? I was specifically looking at Pipestem for summer dates but every time I plug in campsites in the filter all I get is cabins. Heck, I can't even find a map of the campground. The most I find is a paragraph with a snippet of information. I sure I'm missing something obvious but I can't find it.

    Maybe a phone call is the only way. Website is a little misleading as it has a box to check for campsites. Not sure why you can rent cabins but not campsites online not to mention it's nice to view the sites now days.

    The Pipestem link above is a COMMERCIAL campground located outside the state park. The maps are of the commercial campground, not the state park.

    Yup. Gotta be by phone. At least that was true the last time I camped in West Virginia.

    If you go to this site, go to the bottom of the page and click on camping, it gives you a phone number to call.

    Just about all their state parks require a phone reservation.
