Palmerosa Horse & Hike Campground

13 RV Sites, 22 Tent Sites

Palmerosa Horse & Hike Campground in Laurelville, OH, offers RV sites with water and electric hookups, private tent sites, and cabins, with room for rigs up to 60 feet. Contact the campground for site count and amp service, since those specifics aren't published. Several policies are worth knowing before you book: one vehicle per site, with additional vehicles and trailers directed to overflow parking; RV sites hold up to six guests and tent sites up to four. Guests bringing horses must reserve the right number of stalls and bring their own horse-care tools and bedding — and straw bedding is not permitted. A bathhouse with private bathrooms and hot showers, a general store, firewood, a dump station, fire rings, and picnic tables cover the rest. Pets are welcome. Covered horse stalls and walking trails put this campground squarely in the equestrian category, with more than 40 miles of bridle trails reachable from the property. Download the bridle trail map before you arrive — cell service drops out on the trails. Laurelville sits in the heart of Ohio's Hocking Hills, close to Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, and Conkle's Hollow, but deliberately away from the busiest park areas. Rates for sites, tent spots, and cabins are on the booking page. Reserve stalls alongside your site if you're bringing horses.

Bear Mountain Cabins & Campgrounds

32 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites

Bear Mountain Cabins and Campgrounds in Fayetteville, West Virginia, offers 32 RV sites and 10 tent sites one mile from the New River Gorge, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in and pull-through categories join a general store, playground, and laundry. Thirty-two sites span back-in water-and-electric 30/50-amp, back-in water-electric-sewer 30/50-amp, and pull-thru water-electric-sewer 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The category names spell out exactly which utilities you get. Seventy-five feet is generous for gorge-country terrain and accommodates a long coach with a tow. Ten tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A playground, volleyball, and the surrounding forest fill the grounds. The amenity set is focused rather than sprawling, which is right for a property whose guests are here for the gorge. Pets are welcome. The address is 130 Laurel Creek Road, one mile from the New River Gorge and three or four minutes from downtown Fayetteville. The gorge became America's newest national park in 2020, and the whitewater rafting, world-class climbing, and the single-span New River Gorge Bridge are all right there. Bridge Day in October draws BASE jumpers and enormous crowds. Summer rafting season and October foliage drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead, particularly for Bridge Day.

Wood Mountain Campground

6 RV Sites, 16 Tent Sites, 4 Glamping Sites

Wood Mountain Campground in Glen Jean, West Virginia, offers six full-hookup RV sites, 16 tent sites, and four glamping sites on a hilltop directly off Highway 19, at the heart of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Sites carry 30 and 50-amp with water and sewer, sized to 35 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Six sites run in standard and premium full-hookup configurations carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 35 feet — note the 35-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Sixteen tent sites and four glamping sites round out the accommodations, alongside two-bedroom cabins with fully equipped kitchens and large covered porches. Restrooms, showers, and site WiFi handle the practical side. The hilltop position gives views across the surrounding forested ridgelines, and a disc golf course, barn, pavilion, corn hole, and picnicking areas fill the grounds. The operators put it plainly: this is West Virginia, where there are more trees than people, and guests who want to keep to themselves are as welcome as those who want to chat. Pets are welcome. Glen Jean sits directly across from both the Summit Bechtel Reserve — one of the largest scouting and outdoor education facilities in the world — and the national park's administrative hub, which puts this about as close to the action as any private property in the gorge. River outfitters and the town of Fayetteville are a short drive, and a creek and mountain terrain surround the property. Summer whitewater season and October foliage drive demand in the gorge. With six RV sites, reserve as early as you can.
