West Virginia
Anyone with suggestions on the New River/Greenbrier Valley region on nice State Parks, etc. for camping/sightseeing?
Forum Discussion
- When I was at Watoga years ago the campground was next to the Greenbrier River, very nice!
- Ditto on Pipestem
- Start with this day trip by Toad. RV if comfortable with the roads.
We like Watoga and biking the Greenbrier Rail Trail. - We loved Stonewall Resort- camping right on the lake. We also liked Pipestem and Canaan. WV is a beautiful state - wild and wonderful as advertised. Enjoy.
- I am partial to Canaan Valley.
Here is a link to some specials and packages

Unfortunately in WVA there arent too many places to camp :)

We always liked Pipestem Resort just 20 miles north of Princeton, Va off Hwy 77. They have lots to do there. They have full hookups which most State Campgrounds dont have - at least not around here.
At Babcock you can camp right on the river across the hwy from the lake but they dont have full hookups. Gets a bit muddy also. - We like the Battle Run Corps of Engineers park on Lake Summersville. Right off US19. Water & electric and dump station.

Go see the New River Gorge and bridge. Cass Scenic RR is about an hour drive.
