This Swimming Hole Campground In West Virginia Is A Perfect Summertime Oasis
If you’re looking for an underrated campground with plenty of activities for the kiddos in the family, then look no further than Camp Creek State Park just outside of Charleston in Camp Creek. The 550-acre park is small, yet filled with outdoor fun – including two waterfalls perfect for dipping your toes into or swimming in the waters of a cool mountain creek.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Each is only a short walk from the other but they all offer a different sort of camping experience. Mash Fork is probably the most versatile and offers both trailer and tent sites; some have hookups and others don't.
Campbell Falls is located just a short walk from the road and is a favorite among campers for swimming and combating soaring summertime temperatures in the Mountain State.
From biking to fishing, horseback riding, and hiking, this underappreciated state park has much to see and do, whether you stay for the day, the night, or longer.
Bring a towel and a picnic lunch and spend the day by (and in!) the water before heading back to camp for a sunset dinner around the campfire.
Camp Creek State Park is conveniently located off exit 20 on Interstate 77. It’s open year-round. Learn more, and make camping reservations, at this link on the official website of West Virginia State Parks!
Address: 2390 County Highway 19/5, Camp Creek, WV, 25820
