We stayed longer than our initial plans. We would have stayed even longer if we could have. The delightful hosts make you feel like a guest rather than a customer. We weren’t there for one of their music events, though they sound like great fun. With no event the campground has more space than you would imagine. The sites, all 20, are as large as any we’ve seen, and we’ve seen many. There is plenty of room to unwind and relax and plenty more room to wander through fields and meadows visiting streams and ponds. The abandoned railroad tracks make an interesting walk with deer and groundhog sightings. I didn’t see the beaver, but I caught a fish. Saw a hawk chasing a duck. Felt like I had returned to my grandmother’s farm. A great place to reeeelax! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is located on a working farm complete with vegetable gardens, flower beds, horses, lots of deer and a fishing creek with an active beaver lodge. Owners Mark and Bonnie are native West Virginians who have put a lot of hard work and love into this campground. The long, level, gravel sites overlook a meadow and it is very peaceful here. Power and sewer are good, but at 110 psi the water pressure is high so make sure you bring a regulator. The entrance road from the county road is a typical gravel farm road. It's narrow and one lane but we made it easily with our 40' motorhome and Mark's escort. Make sure to call him before you get into town; he'll meet you across from the local Super Wal-Mart and take you to the campground. He says that folks get lost when they follow the GPS directions as they are not accurate. We came to Elkins to attend Augusta Heritage Music Camp, a week long intensive program taught by highly qualified instructors. Upon leaving the campground we learned that Bonnie and Mark have been playing guitar, mandolin and harmonica since they were teenagers and they hold four music festivals at their campground each year. We hope to play together when we return for a month next time. Elkins is home to a Branson-style family music theater, four train rides, Wednesday night bluegrass music picking in the park, several neat restaurants and great outdoor adventures. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a rare find among privately run RV parks. When I saw the park on Google I was a little worried as the park is adjacent to Elkins airport and railroad tracks. However, the tracks are not utilized and the airport is also not a problem. During the week the place is so peaceful and quiet. Memorial weekend was Jubilee time. There was a new stage where local groups performed into the night. It was great great fun and we met many wonderful people. There are several weekends through the summer packed with musical programs. Even though the park was super busy the bathrooms were kept immaculate. There are not a lot of trees but it is nice to be on grass and the mountain nights are cool. Firewood was provided. Be sure to follow the directions on the web site. The actual road into the campsite runs directly past the owners home so they keep a watchful eye on everything. Elkins is a fun little town with lots of history and several scenic train excursions. At Pegasus Farm you can set a tent up on soft grass and spend a quiet week or enjoy a fun packed weekend. Call or email as you may need reservations We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a river site...which is a nice good size river. The site was huge. It was really nice being right on the river, with windows open you can hear it running and I caught 6 bass at about 7PM. The campground is more for just having a camp fire, fishing, riding bikes, etc. Pool is a short drive away so not really practical. Its either you love the laid back style of the campground or you hate it. I loved it. Its country. Being from Connecticut its very different here...Cable TV was also good, all hookups were good. Nice campground here in the WV mountains. Nice getaway in nature. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had a spot on what they called a river. You could walk across so it wasn't very deep (great for kids to play in looked pretty clean). Sites were small but some were shaded. The campground was gravel roads and older but was kept in decent repair. Showers/Restrooms were a little older but the ones we used were pretty clean and there was plenty of hot water. Friendly staff and all in all an OK place to stay for a couple nights. They had a newer large bar restaurant in the back area that we didn't have the chance to use. Internet didn't work the 2 nights we were there and the cable was out for part of our stay. If we went to the area again we would stay there again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a nice park if you use the sites along the stream. These sites are level grass w/ all hookups. The store is well stocked, and the the grounds are well kept. Being able to walk ten steps from your rig to fish in shavers fork is awesome! No pool on grounds, but they own the old Jellystone park, so you can use all the facilities there. By far my favorite park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We traveled with our children 13, 10, and 3. They had a wonderful time. The older 2 tubed down the river and jumped off rocks into the creek and the younger one spent time with Yogi Bear. There were many activities planned and though not all were well run the children enjoyed them. Our site was large and grassy though kind of swampy from the recent rains- avoid row B if possible. The pools and public areas were clean and well kept, but the restrooms needed more attention. We will return. We feel we got good value for our money and the staff was excellent. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a nice park. Restrooms were clean and nice children's activities. Absolutely beautiful area! As a lot of the places we have been to the game room was outdated but they had nice playground equipment and the pools were nice. They also had rive tubing that looked very fun but we hit a cold spell while we were camping so we did not get to try it. Overall this was a nice place and I would definitely go back! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

A nice park, relatively new. Only a dozen or so pull through sites, which are level. A lot of the back-in sites (especially the river sites) slope drastically to the rear, and we’d never be able to level our motorhome if we used one, although there are level back-in sites available. The 50A electric was as high as 132 volts (not a typo) late at night. Water pressure varied from good to very low randomly, day and night, which made taking a shower interesting, but the water seems to be of good quality. I measured the pressure while we were unhooking, and it was only 28 psi. There are a lot of seasonal units throughout the park, but all were newer units that were well taken care of. We had no concerns for our safety while we were here. The campground’s convenient for the New Tygart Flyer train ride in Elkins. The track was less than 20 feet from our pullthrough site, which allowed us get some pictures of the train literally from the door of our rig. (And of our rig from the train!) Don’t be concerned about train noise, though. It runs on Saturday and Sunday only (once in each direction per day), and the rest of the week the only thing we saw was a single hi-rail maintenance truck on the track one day. By the way, when you make reservations for the train, you can actually request that the train stop at the campground for boarding! We chose not to do that though, and drove the 9 miles to the newly restored station in Elkins, because one highlight of the ride is a 1600 foot tunnel that would be missed if you board at the campground. It’s about a 50 mile ride in each direction to the Cass Scenic Railroad, which is without a doubt the most unusual State Park I’ve ever been to. If you’re interested in trains, it’s well worth the trip to see rare Shay locomotives in their natural habitat - pushing trains up mountains via switchbacks with up to 9 percent grades. There are three different train rides that can be taken, depending on the day you visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.
