The website directions to this campground show its location as Laurel Creek Road. The Delorme mapping software show this road as Laurel Pl. which prevented me from finding it on the map. The directions say “Follow US Rt. 19 North about 15 miles to Laurel Creek Road.” Travelling 15 miles before looking for a road leaves a lot of room for error. I had to stop in Fayetteville and ask directions. The entrance road is steep and severely eroded. Attempts have been made to patch this road but they look “homemade” and don’t seem to last long. The owners lived on site and were nice people and the office was an extension of their home. Several dogs were in the office and barked constantly while we were there. We were assigned a back-in site with a tree near the front of the site that made it difficult to back into. Each site had a good selection of cable TV channels but the cable to our site was buried only a few inches below the surface and had been pulled up out of the ground by the child of a previous camper. This cable lay on the ground when not in use. Very sloppy looking arrangement. Other sites had concrete pads and looked neater. The trees along the interior roads had many low branches hanging over the road. These need to be pruned. The bathhouses were clean but were old and the last paint job was really sloppy. There were several nice looking cabins but I did not see the inside. I felt that the $30 fee was too high for this campground but their website does not list the rates and I didn’t call before my arrival to ask about the price. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I left the first post, below, in 2003 about this campground. Stayed again in summer 2006. Just as nice as before, but they have added another MUCH more accessible/level dump station. A LOT easier to dump now. Wonderful little campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The owners were very friendly and accomodating, quiet campground, level spaces, very clean restrooms and showers. Great place for an overnight stay and cabins look very inviting for longer stays for families. We definately will stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice little campground in the "rafting region" of West Virginia run by a nice/chatty couple in their late-50's. Sites aren't quite as spacious as they appear in the website photos, but the sites are a little bigger than, say, a typical KOA. Not much to do right there in the CG (no pool), but it's very close to rafting companies that run the New and Gauley rivers, the Summerville Lake and Dam, the New River Bridge National Park, a neat little State Park, and not too far from lots of restaurants. Within walking distance there's a quaint little restaurant that's safe and family-friendly and has a bar on one side where they do Karaoke. Food is OK, priced appropriately. The bar/Karaoke-side of the restaurant attracts the locals (don't worry - they are, of course, drinking, but they appear to be good big-haired country folks and appreciate tourist dollars) - these people can SING! Especially if you like the Bluegrass sound. Neat experience. Back to the campground: restrooms are a little dated, but very clean and well-maintained. Very hilly CG, but navigation is pretty easy. When we were there, there were just a few families...it was DEAD-quiet in that CG!! Dumpstation is in an odd place and the hilly terrain resulted in us trying to dump "uphill"! Case-out the lay of the land before pulling-up. Recommended! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
