This is ny first free camping stay - so I am just very grateful that it exists. Of course no showers and no sink in toilet, but there is a river access which is very nice.

This is ny first free camping stay - so I am just very grateful that it exists. Of course no showers and no sink in toilet, but there is a river access which is very nice. Campground is very nice, mowed and clean. No big trees if you looking for shade on hot days. My stay was march 31-april 1. There is a railroad right there and there was a few trains passing by. Otherwise very quiet, just a few people stayed at the camp. Overall good experience! Would stay here again.

My boyfriend and I stayed here, we slept in my jeep renegade, it says no RV or trailer camping “tent camping only”, but there was a camper staying there with no issues, absolutely enough space for a few smaller rvs. It’s set up in a open field-ish area, with obvious numbered spots, some have picnic tables and camp fire rings. There is not much privacy but we covered the windows and didn’t have any problems. It is a beautiful view all around, with a pretty river within walking distance. There is although an active train track right near by that did wake my boyfriend up, so if you’re a light sleeper be prepared. Internet coverage was pretty good, we were even able to watch a movie on Netflix without issues.

It was a well up kept campground with numerous campsites spread out in a big field. Sites had fire pits and picnic tables. Vault toilets were the cleanest I’ve ever seen. River is right there and has a river access point at far end of campground. Not a very busy area in November and the trains weren’t bad at all. If this place had drinking water it would be perfect.

2. Gasoline generator allowed except 10pm to 6am.
3. Very pretty and close to sandstone visitors center and Hinton town (10 miles) and sandstone waterfalls (20 miles).
4. Bait store for WV license and fishing guide is the first right after going underneath Rt 64 passed sandstone visitor center.
5. Portable toilets.
6. FREE (almost non-existence in USA these days considering grass is mowed and lots maintained.
7. Slow cellular service (1-2 bars for AT&T)
Negative:
1. Trains last 5 minutes long come by at 9:45pm, 1:15am, 3:15am, 5:15am and 7:15am, try to camp as far away from the railroad tracks
2. No water and no electricity.

The campground is in a beautiful setting in a big open meadow. We found that it was the only campground in the national park that had cell service and would handle an RV. And while I hate to complain about something that is free, I have to say that the trains have been annoying. I read a review somewhere that said only 2-3 trains came by a day. That has definitely not been the case. There are probably 8-10 trains/in a 24 hour period.They are loud. Yesterday one stopped by the campground and stayed there for 24 hours. The problem with that was that every few minutes it made noise like it was getting the engine ready to go again. This happened all night long, every few minutes. I had to take one of my over the counter sleeping aids.

Loved this area. Great for large RVs. Is next to rail road tracks. You do have to cross 4 tracks of railroad tracks, but was not bad. It is closed right now due to Covid. I’m hoping next time we come this way it will be open.

No longer allowed Rv parking. Rangers confirmed
noted 12/6/2022
Looked at NPS website and it confirms this is a tent site only, no RV's although the pictures suggest you could park an RV in most of them.

We would have loved to stay here. It is located right on the New River. However, the campground is CLOSED due to Covid.

“Closed”

Website says OPEN. Gates are roped off with signs “CLOSED FOR HEALTH SAFETY”. Called the listed number, told they had conflicting info on the status.
