The only thing this Park has going for it is the owners are very friendly and love to talk. Will do their best to help anyway they can. But the place is a swamp. The site across from us no can set up on it because the gravel keeps sinking. Our spot was like a sponge now that it has rained its a lake. Lots of permanents. Water pressure is very low. The people are so nice I would love to get them a good review but we would never go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As part of a long night-to-night cross country trip, we looked forward to spending a few days here. Looked great on the website. But after pulling into our tiny, C-shaped "pull-through", with about 6 feet of grass before a hilly dropoff, we left the next morning. We do love state parks, but not this one. The campground itself is fairly far from other resort amenities, perhaps a mile or two. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed three nights and found this park to be one of the nicest state parks we've visited. It is very well maintained. My husband and daughter played the Par-3 golf course and found it to be challenging and loads of fun. They also have a beautiful 18-hole golf course. There is lots to do for the whole family that will keep your days busy; all without even leaving the park. Part of the back-in sites in the full hook-up area are uneven, but if you carry equipment to put under your wheels you can easily level up your camper. Some sites are a little tight and some are very comfortable and private. We will definitely be back next year. Their website is worth visiting to get more information regarding all the activities available. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed it. I have always enjoyed Pipestem, but the campground is a little tight. The site we had (19) was very narrow and both sides dropped off. It was a very private site though and we enjoyed our stay. We will go back since it is only about 45 minutes from our home. Our kids had a good time, especially on the playground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice park. But the campground leaves much to be desired for RV camping; especially
in larger RVs. Sites are very unlevel and the 'pull-thru' sites are not that nice. It is better for tent camping and small trailers and popups. But..there were a lot of 30+ foot RVs there. The park has a lot of activities including hiking, swimming, horses and fishing. We spent a week there. The park is a 9 the cg is a 6. Not atypical of WV state park cgs though. They are a little behind on the RV thing. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Rates 15$-$21 depending on hookups (none, electric only, or w/e/s). This is a nice park in
general. There is hiking, horseback riding, an indoor pool, lake with boat rental, lodge, resturant, nice cabin/cottage rentals and much more. Some sites can be reserved between Mem. Day and Labor Day. Otherwise first-come-first-served. There are some great scenic views within the park. The park can also serve as a home base for visiting the remainder of the New River Gorge area. A must see in my opinion. The campground is only so-so. WV is a little behind the power curve getting into the RV thing. The pull thru sites are just half circles off the cg drive area in the full hookup area. Back in sites can be narrow and drop off side-to-side, a lot. Road has a low shoulder in some areas. The electric only sites are VERY unlevel front to back. No hook up sites are level and in the open. All sites have a paved parking area. All that said, we enjoyed our stay and would return. There is a cg map on their web site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed at this park as Coast to Coast members. This place is terrible! Upon arrival, we couldn't find the office (there isn't one) and had to flag someone down after driving through the park to find the manager. This park has been taken over by permanent campers and it looks terrible. This is not a place for a traveler. Too many quads making too much noise and going too fast. We didn't see one dog on a leash. We will definitely not be returning to this place. If you need a place to spend the night, go into Pipestem where you will find other campgrounds. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A great campground. We will definitely be back. The campground is in a great location to
attractions. Operators are very nice. Campground is gated and very quiet. Most all sites are shaded. No problems at all. Highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
