Open from April through October, the Greenbrier River Campground is located on the banks of the Greenbrier River with tree-lined RV sites, wooded riverside tent camping, and rentals that include four comfortable, fully-equipped cabins, a vintage Airstream and a 1964 Shasta. Our guests have access to a thousand feet of riverfront for great fishing and one of the best swimming holes on the river. We also offer full-service tubing, kayak, and canoe trips in the very heart of the best paddling waters on the Greenbrier. There’s Class I thru Class III action for all levels of paddling skill.
We stayed for 2 nights here in our RV. We loved it and hope to come back for a longer stay when the temperatures are warmer for fun on the water. It's a nice atmosphere and has good infrastructure. We stayed at site 28 and thought it was a great spot. We had actually initially booked the super site but we were given the option of 28 instead and thought it looked like more of a woodsy camping experience. The super site also looked really nice, especially for someone with a bigger rig or who intended to use more of the yard games. Either way, this is a top notch establishment with kind folks running the show.
Love this campground. I rent the kayaks with pals when we come into camp out on family land every year. It’s always an awesome time. A few rapids to get your blood flowing, beautiful scenery, and can stop at Stuart’s bars along the way.
They drop you off, pick you up afterwards, and always so friendly. 5/5 place!
We had a very good stay at this campground! We ended up renting one of the rvs- the Shasta and it was so cute! Loved being right by the river. The camp site was super clean. The only downside is that it is in between a main (busy/loud) road and a train track that actually runs frequently.
I rented all of their available "cabins" for a week for a family reunion. The new "park model" mobile homes are beautiful and pleasant. The old kitchey trailers are not that great. Avoid them. My son and his wife were stuck in a trailer with no AC! High 80s. The beach is more like a boat launch (rocks not sand). Each "cabin" has wood in a nice stack but beware - very costly...$1 per small quarter log piece of wood. The wifi speed measured 0.9 Mbps and one bar of cell signal sporadically unless you were in the cabins at the end of the road - then there was no service. At all. The only real restroom is at the front of the camp ... Very very loooong walk. There is supposed to be a portapotty back in the woods somewhere on a steep, muddy slope! Not really accessible unless you're very desperate and wear your hiking shoes while carrying a good flashlight. The tubing and kayaking is expensive and there's no break for guests staying there. It was difficult to get a kayak anyway since there are only 2 of the two person types available. The "resort" is owned privately and the owners, manager, maintenance people live there and apparently spy on their guests from their "cabins" parked strategically. Creepy. The lady who takes reservations was very nice. The maintenance guys did a good job and were friendly also.
This is a great little campground located on the Greenbrier River near Alderson WV. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and maintains the campground very well. River access is about as good as it gets on the Greenbrier. There are train tracks on the opposite side of the river so expect some noise from that throughout the night (we got used to it after 2 nights). You'll also hear some highway noise but it was tolerable for us. They have great amenities for those wanting to play volleyball or corn hole or horseshoes and they can hook you up with kayaks, canoes, or tubes and provide the shuttling.
A couple things to be aware of... the entrance to the campground is somewhat hidden until you are right on top of it and there isn't good signage ( it would be great if a sign can be placed at yhe entrance which is clearly visible in advance). There's a sign 1/4 mile before the turn off but again, you can't see the turn off until you are 20 yards from it and it's in a passing zone - can be very dangerous, and you may end up having to drive a long ways to find a place to turn around. Also, there's a steep hill where you pull out onto the highway and you'll have to swing out into the oncoming lane if you're pulling anything of size, so again, be cautious as this can be dangerous.
